The primary cause of political divisiveness.. Biased Media

you people are seriously delusional. something is wrong with you. you blame the liberal media. Fox news is 1/3 of the media, and they are completely republican. You don't have an argument anymore. your position is completely absurd. you are looking for a scapegoat, and it is obvious. this is what people do when they can't explain why things aren't working out for them. it is sign of delusional thinking, ego, and immaturity. you need to seriously re-evaluate your perception, because it is completely fucked. have a good day.
 
I noticed you failed to mention how the tea party "revolution occured in the face of all this brainwashing. I'll wait for your conspiracy ...um...answer.

A drone posts another transparent attempt to deflect attention from the true nature of the DNC propaganda organs. Libs have to pretend the media does not suffer from left-wing bias, otherwise their control of the media is useless. Propaganda is useless when people know they are being fed bullshit.


Even in the former Soviet Union, the truth managed to get out on occasion.

Shhh like I said the previous post
Let me get this straight. The MSM is promoting dems over republicans to manipulate the public. Thats why Obama and Dems win. And the "Tea Party revolution" happened last year because...*insert a story of adversity, patriotism and against all odds story here*

Predictable excuses are predictable
 
If the media had done it's job, we never would have invaded Iraq. And that shows how biased they are and whose side they are on.
 
There have been deep Communist roots in Hollywood for several decades. Joseph McCarthy was not wrong about the Communist infestation of Hollywood. These Communist roots led to the later infestation of MSM. That's where this Left/Democrat Bias in MSM comes from. It still flourishes today but has lost some influence & credibility in recent years. There are alternative Media sources out there though. You just have to do some research and find them. Gotta do some hunting. But the hunt is definitely worth it. The MSM will continue to express their Left/Democrat Bias but they'll lose more & more influence in the coming years. Their Glory Days are definitely over.
 
Did you ever think that perhaps news people see more of the world as it is, have more information than most anyone here on how things work in our country, and vote accordingly?

Naahhh... it's easier to call them Commies than to think.

So they're liberals because they're smarter than us?

Did you ever think that you're an incredible jackass?

Like I said... much easier to be a ignorant and outraged asshole, isn't it? It isn't about "smart", you dickhead. It's about information. Do you think that everything gets reported as news? You don't think they hear and see things that are "off the record"?

Naahh... you're just too stupid to have critical thinking skills....unless it's government, of course. OK... cue the outraged name calling in 3....2.....1....
 
Those of you liberal/Obamatron/Democrat supporters WILL NOT agree with this but those of you that THINK you are independent this is for you...

The primary cause for gridlock and tremendous political divisiveness in our country has been the extreme media bias that favors liberal/Democrat ideology.

The liberal/Democratic/progressive ideology though BY it's very inherent requirement of dependency on a centralized government intrusiveness though assures it's failure as a ideology!

The shear weight of complete dependency on a elite few that incestuously continue tired old memes, plans, agenda MEANS destruction of a society!

And one of the tools of the liberal/progressive/Democrats has been the complicity of the mainstream media..MSM!

This thread is for those independents that consider themselves "thinkers", rational, and logical in forming opinions which in turn influence your poll responses which in turn influence politicians!

CONSIDER that the MSM for the past 30 years or MORE has by their OWN admission been biased in news presentation favoring liberal/democrat ideology and deriding conservatives!

To you independents consider these FACTS:

1) Admission by a liberal MSM EDITOR.. Evan Thomas..
" our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." -- Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington, February 2, 2007.
Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters.org

YET this same editor says:
"There is a liberal bias.
It's demonstrable.
You look at some statistics.
About 85 percent of the reporters who cover the White House vote Democratic, they have for a long time.
There is a, particularly at the networks, at the lower levels, among the editors and the so-called infrastructure, there is a liberal bias.-

George W. Bush Transcript

AND this same editor said the following gush about Obama...
I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God." –

"he's sort of God"! Really.. Objective hard newsmagazine editor referring to Obama as a "God"!

So here is more proof for you growing number of independents that are coming to understand that:
1) your news content has been biased.
2) It influences your opinion which
3) Influences your responses to polls
4) a politicians read your biased influenced opinion answers!

It's that simple!
And here are the REAL FACTS.. REAL STATISTICS regard MSM BIAS!

KEY FINDINGS:

* More than four-fifths of the journalists interviewed voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in every election between 1964 and 1976.
* “Fifty-four percent placed themselves to the left of center, compared to only 19 percent who chose the right side of the spectrum,” Lichter and Rothman’s survey of journalists discovered"
* “Fifty-six percent said the people they worked with were mostly on the left, and only 8 percent on the right — a margin of seven-to-one.”
* Nearly half of the journalists surveyed agreed that “the very structure of our society causes people to feel alienated,” while the authors found “five out of six believe our legal system mainly favors the wealthy.”
* 30 percent disagreed that “private enterprise is fair to workers;” 28 percent agreed that “all political systems are repressive.”
* 54 percent did not regard adultery as wrong, compared to only 15 percent who regarded it as wrong.
* “Ninety percent agree that a woman has the right to decide for herself whether to have an abortion; 79 percent agree strongly with this pro-choice position.”
* Majorities of journalists agreed with the statements: “U.S. exploits Third World, causes poverty” (56 percent); and “U.S. use of resources immoral” (57 percent). Three-fourths disagreed that the “West had helped Third World.”

Exhibit 1-1: The Media Elite

Again.. you independents... consider your biased MSM content influences your opinion, your opinion expressed in polls and politicians read the polls!

Is this the reason for gridlock and political divisiveness throughout the SA's entire history. If you look at the history of politics throgh the US you will see that the divisiveness has always existed. Even before the US was a nation it existed.
 
The problem is that the Republican Party is more concerned with defeating Obama than doing what is right for the country.

The payroll tax cut is a perfect example of this, as is their reaction to the Affordable Healthcare Act.

Mandatory healthcare was the Republican's idea in the 1990's.

Now they are against it because Obama is for it.

Until the Republican Party starts putting America ahead of party, the divisiveness will continue.

And proof of this can also be found in the unprecedented use of the filibuster by the Republicans.

So you were in favor of $160 tax cuts staying in place for 2 months versus the GOP wanted a total of $1,000 for 12 months?
I ALWAYS was told the $1,000 over 12 months was more then $160 for 2!

And YET the MSM NEVER explained that MUCH less gave GOP the microphone to explain!
Do you think Sawyer, Williams, Pelley ACTUALLY KNEW that the GOP wanted the agreement for 12 months but DEMS only 2???
 
Conservatives are ignorant, (bought off, or elitist), liberals know what they're talking about, so the journalist numbers are not surprising.. The misinformation and spin and lies on the Fox/Rush/Moonie/Koch channel is a disgrace. Many of their audience need a Prozac drip they're so deluded. But they're losing now, the lies and hypocrisy are so shrill and obvious.

Fox/Rush/Moonie/Koch cam AFTER years of 80 percent of journalists saying they voted Democrat. If the journalists between 1960 and 1990 had remained loyal to the WHO WHAT WHY WHEN and HOW of Journalism vs. the talking points of the Democrat Party, Rush and Murdoch would have never had a Market.

How sad. You really believe that, don't you.

At least FXN presents both sides of an argument. The MSM lib rags have propaganda sessions where they lecture the stooges w/o hearing both sides. Olberman, Matthews, The Ed Show, Maddow, and CNN rarely have competent conservatives debating issues. This is why FXN has the highest ratings, and always will. No propaganda.
