OT: Conservative/Liberal Media ... (RE: political)

[Guest guest]

The television media in general tends to be more " left " leaning " while

the radio media tends to be more " right " leaning. More folks watch t.v.

than listen to AM radio. Also, the television media for the most part

claims to be impartial and just reporting the news, while the radio

media is full of admitted conservative commentators. Therein lies the

big differences. Print media tends to go either way, but a lot of the

big name daily rags like The NY Times have more admittedly " liberal "

reporters than admitted " conservative " and folks do tend to spin a story

in a direction that fits with their personal ideologies. There is very

little unbiased media out there.

kinds of stuff, from the most radical - both far left leaning info to

far right leanings and " controversial " sources sources like Al Jazeera,

to moderate sources, etc ... Never get your news from just one source,

or you'll be sure to miss very important aspects of any story and other

things happening!)

<snipped> ... The

Media I hear so much about is totally one way and it is not the way I

see it. As

a matter of fact I feel very suspicious as to why anyone would want it

all

their way. I was driving a few hundred miles one day and got on the

radio

station KNEW channel 91. all day I listened to what they had to say,

they said it

every way there was to say it, all about Michael Moore, Liberals,

Clinton,

every aspect of the war Iraq. I looked around on the dial but did not

find

no one station saying anything else. I am a radio listener and I have

to

believe that if there was anything else on the radio I would know. But

I hear a

lot about the liberal media especially from FOX. I would say this comes

 

under the heading of " say it enough just keep saying it and sooner or

later they

will believe " . I hope we are not really that kind of sheep.

YES, and if you speak several languages check their papers,too.

It's an eye opener.
