America loves a winner!

the press here in the US is biased towards the Left, and there's no denying it. All you seem to want to do is play the part of the contrarian ( shocker, there ) and post 'til the cows come home. Well, have at it.

First you claimed a study 'showed' a left-leaning media. That was debunked. Now you're reduced to just saying it's so because you say it's so. Here's someone with a different say-so. Now we're even.

US media poodles
Despite bouts of superficial self-criticism, when it comes to war, the US media excel at following the White House line

Major outlets seem unable to resist White House agenda-setting for war. Cases in point span decades, from Vietnam and the Dominican Republic to Grenada and Panama, to Iraq and Yugoslavia, to Afghanistan and Iraq again - with Iran likely to join the list next year.

Well, if it comes from The Guardian, it must be anti-USA. Saying that the US media supports the Iraq war is simply bogus. There was nothing but front page photos and huge head lines of Abu Grahib for 50 some odd straight days at the NYTimes, and until very recently, you'd be shocked to know that things have turned around greatly in Baghdad, and that folks were moving back into the city. Fact is, there IS no 'self criticism by the mainstream meida. Most of that comes from a.m. talk radio folks ( who admit their bias ) and possibly FOX news. But that isn't the issue here what so ever. I was talking about how the Media here in the US views things through a 'PRO Democrat' lens, more often than not, while lying to the public and stating that the news is simply the news, and there's no bias what so ever. Study after study has shown otherwise.

Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello

I think the press will enforce any bias that sells stories, and the only universal bias I can identify is 'sensationalism.'

It is this bias that turns the deaths of three individuals into the senseless and tragic deaths of three individuals. It's this bias that turns an illness afflicting children into a growing epidemic that threatens to exterminate our youth. It's this bias that turns a killing into a bloodbath. It's this bias that turns an assault rifle into a high power assault rifle, and a handgun into an assault weapon.

Just the facts, please. I'll interpret the facts and apply my own emotions without assistance.

And by all means, check the facts before you print them.

Dude, wake up and smell the coffee. The study said that on the whole the candidates in THIS election cycle were treated equally. In addition the article you linked failed to mention 8 years of anti-Clinton propaganda (I'm sure you're still fuming over that fact that it never 'took'), Carter bashing and other 'left-leaning' (HA HA HA HA HA) media coverage.

Really. Give it up.
