What's Happening to the Liberal Media?

Dan Rather retires in a scandal. Air America disappears in a wave of scandals. Don Imus fired in another scandal. Now Rosie is gone with her latest scandal.

This would not happen if the liberal message was something which could still be foisted upon an unsuspecting American public.

Perhaps Americans are getting smarter. I credit the Internet with this change!

 

lol

The irony here is you are trying to paint it as if the liberal media is going down in flames while poll after poll shows the American public disagrees with the left as well as the republican party.

What's happening to the Conservative media if even with all those problems in the liberal media they are still getting their butts handed to them?

Precisely what "change" are you referring to? The overwhelming and constantly growing opposition to the Iraq mess or the fact that republicans lost congress and are bout to lose the presidency?

 

I'm not sure who the "conservative media" is, but I don't recall any of them being fired recently.

The conservatives don't have far to fall. There is one television news channel which is not wildly left-wing. In a way, that limits their exposure to scandal. On the other hand, it also means that a single scandal could take them down and return America to those dark days of almost total left-wing media domination.

 

Ahh.. thanks for bringing that up. Let's make this clear.

Fox news is conservative media just as much as conservative talk radio.

In fact guess what.... All the top anchors and show hosts on fox news are either conservative talk show hosts by day or proud conservatives.

See here's the thing.... I have NO problem with Fox news being conservative media. In fact I like getting both sides of the story so I often switch to Fox to hear the conservative take on things. So I ask you, what's wrong with just admitting that they are conservative and stop trying to paint them as the only sane media outlet just because you agree with them?

There's liberal media and there's conservative media. Please don't try and paint it as if the poor conservative left has no voice among all the liberal media chatter. That's why Fox news has such a large audience. They're obviously one of the few news outlets that conservatives can go to get news that caters to them. Nothing wrong with that, just please the Fox news Fair and Balanced moniker has been making people chuckle off camera since it's inception.

 

It's trendy to paint Fox News as being conservatively biased. Hell, people who grew up with nothing but liberally-biased news may actually believe it.

However, it simply is not true.

Take a quick look at Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist:

Five news outlets — "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," ABC's "Good Morning America," CNN's "NewsNight With Aaron Brown," Fox News' "Special Report With Brit Hume" and the Drudge Report — were in a statistical dead heat in the race for the most centrist news outlet. Of the print media, USA Today was the most centrist.​

 

lol, you're just gonna gloss right over what I said huh

That whole every top host is a conservative radio host isn't even relevant right?

They cover the exact opposite and report an exact opposite view of everything the liberal media reports. Being the opposition means you are the opposition, not a centrist. I don't need biased reports to tell me what's what bro. I watch Fox and MSNBC every single day. Fox is the true anti-msnbc and I'm completely fine with that because MSNBC can get a little too liberal for me sometimes.

Satan isn't evil, he's just anti-God right? A centrist?

rofl, blind loyalty is hilarious.

 

been debunked

By who?

Rush's ratings are up, Neil Boortz ratings are up, Sean Hannity's ratings are up, Michael Savage's ratings are up, etc...most of these don't even consider themselves conservative radio...The problem is going to be when a liberal congress tries to put the breaks on radio shows such as these...this has already happened once, I believe it was called the Fairness Bill or something to that effect. Look for it to show up again.

Whats funny is that mediamatters uses the definition of Bias that comes from the ACLU!!!! Thats about as biased as it comes!!! LMFAO!!! Your source just debunked itself!!! lol....nice try, but once again, you are wrong.

 

It is; only in the sense that liberals cannot compete in a free market. Liberal radio shows have come and gone, but who really wants to listen to 3 hours of whining and complaining about how bad america is? That's what it usually turns into.

 

liberals don't listen to the radio they have the internet

 

I can't help but wonder what the liberal media would be like, if anger and agendas were replaced with honesty and integrity.

 

you've made that point before ferret. And, as I posted last time, internet statistics show liberals don't get their news their either. But as Reid so clearly made obvious this week, why do liberals need the news, when they think that they are right - regardless of facts presented to them.

 

Mayhap it's time for a real social revolution, or maybe a full revolution. =\

 

Or maybe we're getting dumber.

 

I think the same thing too except I replace the words "liberal media" with "this present administration".

 

Liberals generally tend to base thier beliefs on personal feeling rather than facts. In essence, you've simply confirmed such.

 

I thought that you might make this assumption. Perhaps you would like to explain to us how you know for certain whether I'm a liberal, conservative, libertarian or none of the above based on a single personal statement I make about the administration? It certainly sounds like what you're saying is that anyone critical of the Bush administration could never be a conservative?

Maybe you can use your mental powers to tell us what I'm wearing since you're so good at ascertaining what political bent I must be!

 

Ah, the ever famous "Anyone who {insert something not really true, but wishes it were} is {insert something the victim seeker probably is anyway} card. This one is very popular!

Perhaps it is you, that should do the explaining. If you want the world to know something, this is the place to do it.

 

Boy they got you trained good.
You may not realize it, but you are parrotting exactly what the big boys
want you to repeat. There is no such thing as a liberal/conservative media. There NEVER was.
There is only one media and it's a corporate media responsible not to you but it's shareholders.

Take all the school shootings for example. 80% of the shooters are on drugs
prescribed by "doctors" trained by the Pharmaceutical companies. Your
liberal/conservative media don't say anything about this. In fact, they
keep your focus everywhere else but away from them loosing advertising
dollars from Big Pharma.

 

This post of yours, as well as most of the other posts I see from you, was completely moronic.

Therefore, a reasonable person can only deduce that you are a liberal.
