Are Americans only allowed one side of the story?

[Annie]

american news is bias and censored...no denying that...

many people are uninformed ...be they agree with me or not..ignorance is simply that

all news is biased and censored. To not read what are top stories in other parts of the world is just lazy. Readily available today.

It was BECAUSE of the press that the ridiculous lie about "stealing elections" got as far as it did. Despite the fake reports that all these people had been disenfranchised, despite a hard look, two recounts and scouring the bushes for malcontents, there just wasn't anythign there. It was BECAUSE of the press that Obama is president now. The press NEVER went after Clinton, are you serious?

Allie darling sugar baby. Merry Xmas by the way.

Excuse me, but we saw this year the GOP used all the exact same tactics they used to steal Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004, only this time we were ready for them.

One example. Judges made them put people back on the voting roles. There is a law that you can not PURGE a person from the voting roles within 90 days of the election. Republicans did that in 2000 and 2004. They didn't get away with it this time.

Want another example? We are getting our recounts this time around. And now you see Franken winning in Minnesota and Ted Stevens losing in Alaska. Gore would have won Florida and Kerry won Ohio. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm right. We'll never know because YOUR PARTY STOLE THE FUCKING ELECTIONS!!!

Allie, you choose to lie. Isn't that a sin? Do you just ask for forgiveness and its ok?

I hear that is how Bush justified the millions he murdered.

Show me the lies from the left wing media. Both sides lie. Sorry if I mistook you for a right winger, but that's typically what they say.

Randi Rhodes don't lie!

Global warming. Human's are either causing it or not.

Abortion. Democrats want to lower the number of abortions that are done each and every year. Republicans want to ban abortion. One is the right approach, and one is flat out wrong.

The GOP from 2000-2006 ruined this country and told us all along the way that everything was fine. The Dems said that was not true and you didn't listen. One's wrong, one's right.

The Iraq war was a complete waste of time and money. True or false.

No, both sides don't have "their share" of the media. Look who owns all the tv and radio stations. Like someone else said, Corporations are only in it to maximize profits. If the paper is a corporation, then they want all the George Bush tax breaks too. So it only makes sense they defend Bush, just like all the other GOP did. And now they try to pretend that thay only defended bush when he was right and didn't when he was wrong. What a fucking joke.

So if you have half a brain, you won't allow the blame to be taken away from the mother fuckers that put this country where it is today. That's the GOP! And you know it.

Will the dems be perfect angels? No. But were they the party that fucked up our great nation? Fuck NO!

Yep....all Corporations are bad....I have never read so much BS in my life.

Lets not forget who is in the majority in Congress and has been for the last 2 years...maybe more of the blame should be on their shoulders.

Might as well have not happened if the other stations don't report on it.

The GOP has taken over the big networks, Now everything they report favors the GOP. Notice how no finger pointing is being done by the media on exactly who fucked this economy up? Notice no mention of the $10 billion dollar war going on right now? Exactly!!!!

But no fear, the sleeping media is waking up just in time to be a hawk on Obama and Pelosi and Reed.

And then idiots will continue to call it the Liberal Media.

Thanks to Al Gore and the Internet, Americans can get as many sides to a story as they want.

I have no idea what you are saying...correct what?

 

[editec]

We've got bad news and we got good news.

The bad news is that all the media is biased.

But the good news is that thanks to the internet we have plenty of biased news for everybody!

 

[mash107]

Think incrementalism...

Almost everything Obama plans to do undermines capitalism.

But you still haven't answered my question. I'll even make it more pallatable for you:

So are you accusing the mainstream American media of being biased? You know sorta like when they syncophantically followed Barack Obama around like a happy puppy and reported nothing about his socialist policies, his long list of secrets, and his radical associations? That kind of "uninformed"?

Everything Bush has done undermines Capitalism. Warfare is the biggest destroyer of Capitalism. But I'm hardly arguing for Obama. The fact that he pretends to be a candidate of change is hysterically inaccurate.

Somehow, on one of your posts on the previous page, I am credited (as you can see above) with somebody else's (I think Sho's) words.

Given that what is said is diametrically oppsed to my thinking on this subject, and given that it's your post and only you can correct it, I'd appreciate it if you'd go in, figure out who you were quoting, and change it giving whomever wrote those words credit for them.

Thanks.

Don't assume the internet news is as powerful as the mainstream media. I can show you all the facts that Bush did steal the last two elections but you won't care until Dan Rather tells you its true.

When I say you, I mean the American people as a whole.

It's not their fault. I'm noticing this has been happening all day.

I have always detested Dan Rather and was not surprised when he ran into ethical problems.

Rathers lawsuit against his former employer is about to kick into full gear.

Its going to blow the lid off a few things here in the US.

What you are going to find out is that Bush did dodge the draft and the forgery that Rather used was Rove's signature.

Typical GOP tactic. Attack the accuser and discredit him.

Rather is the watch dog/tattle tale. I don't know why you attack the media when they actually do what they are supposed to do.

I'm actually ok with what the media did to Clinton over Monica. My problem is they didn't treat Bush the same way.

Mainstream media was purchased when Clinton deregulated the media and let 10 companies buy up all the media stations.

We told you it was a bad idea but you said that any company should be able to buy up as much as they can. Highest bidder wins and to hell with the fairness doctrine!

And now that they turned the media into a right wing propoganda machine, you still defend it? I gotta go home now, but just remember, it's a war between the rich and the middle class and you my friend might be a house slave.

Rather was a liar and deceiver, enjoy your journey into falsehood.

Oh I am sure that if Bush had shoved a cigar up anyones VJ or left stains on some tarts dress from his Jizz, the press would have been all over it.
