Quote from Free Thinker:
well sure since that would be correct. foxnews has been non stop obama bashing for 5 years now. there is no doubt that they are a wing of the republican party.
Quote from tomdavis:
Just as there's no doubt that MSNBC is a wing of the Democratic party, bashing Romney and the Republicans non-stop, only more-so according to Pew Research (whom the New York Times named as one of the most trusted research organizations in the world). Given a choice between the data-free opinion of FreeThinker and Pew's data-driven research it's obvious who's correct on this one.
No one is claiming that Fox isn't biased, only that MSNBC is even more biased. That's what the Pew study showed: Fox is biased, MSNBC is more biased.
Quote from Free Thinker:
come on man. use your thinker. at one time fox news had four or five republican candidates for president as mouthpieces. msnbc cant hold a candle to that.
Quote from Free Thinker:
does your own rational thinking ever come into play?
Quote from tomdavis:
That's what the climate-change deniers say.
I'll go with the science on this one -- Pew Research, named by the NYT as one of the most trusted research firms in the world. Pew Research provided a detailed report with all the data and you're telling me they're either incompetent or a bunch of liars and therefore I should ignore them.
Quote from Free Thinker:
maybe in this case. if someone told you that a news outlet had five republican candidates working for them and then told you that they werent that partisan it should raise a few red flags.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence." -Bertrand Russell
