Fox News documentary.

No bias in the BBC? Have you seen any of their reporting related to the Middle East (Israel/Palestine conflcit or the Iraq War)?

I don't think it would be a stretch to argue that the BBC is more biased than any of the U.S.'s mainstream news organizations.

The BBC actually reports the Palestinian side instead of just the Israeli side!!! oh my!! that makes them Biased!!!


wrong....that means they are actually doing their job and reporting the news.

I posted this site a while back, but no one showed any interest in it. It is the only study conducted to date on media bias, and it shows a clear liberal bias on most news sources. Interesting to note that it shows Fox as being more centrist that just about any other news program. The study does not rank Op-ed programs, so if you want to rant about Bill O'Reilly, thats fine, but keep in mind that everyone knows that what is being presented is his own opinion. This study rates what is being presented as news and not simply opinion.

Do you really want to play this game?

Let's face the facts. The country is about 50/50 conservative/liberal -- give or take so the news reporters should be about 50/50 right?

In a survey conducted by the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1997, 61% of reporters stated that they were members of or shared the beliefs of the Democratic Party. Only 15% say their beliefs were best represented by the Republican Party.

Next time try actually reading the post I was responding too, then actually click the links I posted before making ignorant assumptions.

Another article that covered the reporting for the 2006 elections. 88% was bad for GOP, while 77% was good for the Dems.

Oh give me a break. CBS literally tried to cheat in order to get Kerry elected. It's impossible for any news organization to be entirely unbiased because news organizations are run by people, and people, by definition, cannot be completely objective.

i nominate this for most laugh out loud post of the week

scratch that, and replace it with this.

Why? You obviously weren't watching TV that night in 2004. CBS was reporting landslide victories for Kerry according to "exit polls" they "conducted" in order to dampen Republican voter turnout in states where the polls had not yet closed.

And I haven't even gotten into the Dan Rather fraudulent memos BS.

I really don't like most telivision news.

Viewing media that finds Anna Nicole Smith and the paternity of her baby both newsworthy and fit for an entire month is a waste of braincells and damnit - I can't afford to waste them!



(....wonder who the father is?)

USMC, you should probably watch the BBC day in day out for a small while before saying that they are biased on the Palestine conflict. You've probably seen some clip on youtube which shows them being apparently biased, but they get in all sorts of trouble if people deem reporters are taking sides. The main difference is that we don't have a self rightous anchor giving his two cents on whatever the issue is.

Holmes County which is 2/3 registered democrats voted 6,410 for Bush to 1,810 for Kerry. Election Fraud is a real issue and when you stoop to minimalists probelms lik faulty exit polling you are ignoring the real issue.

58,000 absentee balots from Broward County (heavily Democratic) vanished

Detailed analyses indicate that reports of malfunctioning voting machines were tightly clustered in black neighborhoods, further exacerbating machine shortages. Of the 82 precincts for which voters reported that one or more voting machines were not working, the vast majority were in neighborhoods where over 75% of the population were black, while non-working machines were reported in only five precincts where less than 5% of the population were black. In one precinct 7 of 17 voting machines were not working. In another, 3 of 9 voting machines were not working. In yet another 2 of 3 voting machines were not working. In two precincts, all the machines were not working for a significant period during the day. In addition to reports of machines not working at all, there were multiple reports of voting machines that would not accept a vote for the presidential race, multiple reports of voting machines which highlighted a vote for Bush when Kerry's button was pressed, and multiple reports of voting machines that indicated that a vote for Bush had been registered on the summary screen, despite repeated attempts to select Kerry.

We will never know what the will of the people is until we find a better election system (i support the electoral college). The two Bush elections are the two most fraudulent elections in your lifetime.

It's appalling that you can say the "CBS literally tried to cheat", and not open your eyes to what really happened in 00 and 04 in Florida and Ohio.

Typical of you. I never said that there wasn't other fraudulence going on -- but I watched CBS report, with my own eyes, blatantly false information. There's no excusing and no denying this.
