why is the media so left?

LOL, not a single response from any socialist moonbat on ET. I love when I strike a nerve.

Instead of Pallin threads why isn't BuyLowSellHigh starting a thread "Why Did Iraq war Supporter Biden Get Picked For VEEP By Obama"?

Media bias is the most destructive element of American life today. The seeds lie in academia.

Something profound hit me last night so I shared my brilliance with ET. :p

There is a thread titled Laura Bush said George has kept us safe. I suppose the OP felt the First Lady's remarks were ironic in some misguided way.

While reading through the usual litany of LoZZZer type shit I was hit by the following. As I posted:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fact is ignorant douchebags, formidable U.S. enemies Gaddafi, Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-il have literally laid down their arms rather than wind up in Saddam's rat hole.

The infamous Axis of Evil threatened for extinction by Bush is three and out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It got me thinking. After all is said and done the Bush administration got rid of Hamas backing Saddam, North Korean nukes, Gaddafi and- if we're to believe the latest reports-Iran halted their nuclear weapon program some time ago.

These achievements came at great cost. Over 5000 American lives and EOD a trillion depreciating dollars.

However if you were to have laid a line as to if the 'Axis of Evil" would be essentially eliminated from the lexicon of military threats, few would predict the human and financial cost to be so low. Bush actually delivered on his most ambitious "promise" of the 2000 campaign.

Where is the media? Granted news comes and goes but there's a decided lack of commentary in both print and aired media about these historic foreign policy achievements. Make the leftest LoZZZers who derided “Cowboy Diplomacy” eat horseshit.

On top of it what of the following: Joe Biden voted for the war in Iraq. Obama's sole canard has been his opposition to the war. Certainly his 18,000,000 was built upon the Democrat's pacifist wing. So who's view of the war is correct? Biden's or Obama's? If the war was worth waging than is not Obama's entire thesis of Presidential worth invalidated? Conversely if Iraq was the most colossal mistake since Napoleon goes to Russia-then why the fuck is Joe Biden on the ticket?

Would not a fair media think that a more revealing discussion than 'Sarah Had Two Headed Twins”.

No nerve Adolph, just that you are so past your prime that no one cares about your rambling self congratulatory stuff.

Were you a contortionist, it is pretty clear what would be in your own mouth...

I actually read every word of your post, Pabst.

I chose not to respond to it because I feel the lowest-common-denominator name calling and flaming that is prevalent on ET is getting old, and I'm not responding to those types of posts anymore even if I share the underlying message that gets blurred by the antics.

I've seen intelligent posts of yours that I agree with (we agree on smaller government and flat taxes, I believe, among other issues), so it isn't as if you have to dumb down your posts to emphasize your point.
 
Seems this observation isn't mine alone. The mean-spiritedness I see from the RNC is just hard to watch. They really can't function w/o someone to jump up and down on -- like watching Hannity or O'Reilly. And I thought democrats were the party that catered to hollywood. With all the cowboy hats and military regalia flashing around that hall you'd think it was halloween.

Pabst,

Your comment.

"Where is the media? Granted news comes and goes but there's a decided lack of commentary in both print and aired media about these historic foreign policy achievements."

When I read your post yesterday, those were also my first thoughts. Why did I have to read a concise "brilliant" summary on ET and not in the general news media?

Secondly, I do agree with the statement "seeds of acadamia". Faceless, nameless, social engineers.

I do have a theory of how this begins with academia - Grant money. What the academics call a "new or unconventional approach" is nothing more than the fact there is no new grant money for the same old tired dogma.
 
I love the media bias argument.
Fox is definitely right leaning, even I will admit that. Watching their questions during the Demo convention, I could see how their wording etc was geared a little Right.
But MSNBC, NBC, CNN, etc are definitely left biased.
A simple comparison is how Palin and Obama have been vetted by the media. Does any thinking person think they were vetted the same?? I doubt it. Fox attacked Abama on certain issues that the rest of the Media wouldn't touch. and now the rest of the Media is attacking Palin on everything.
 
Hmmmm...

N Korea looks to be starting it's nukes up again.

Iran is still running it's centrifuges and enriching.

bin Laden (that guy who attacked us on 9/11) is still - somewhere. (Too bad the CIA didn't get the support it needed to nail him when they had him in Tora Bora.)

Taliban is still trouble in Afghanistan.

Hamas still looks rooted in Lebanon and Gaza.

Russia is going back to being Communist Authoritarian.

Oh joy...

I gather then that we won't have to read anymore threads started by you with "dumb bitch" in the title.

Frankly, your post gives no information about the topic, no facts, and no sense of what YOU believe, other than to belittle what others believe...

...you might not have to make a bullshit post like this.

Pot, meet the kettle. You're both black!

Simply put, your claim of media bias is easily refuted by the verifiable dominance of conservatives on cable news shows, talk radio, and financial news. That was, I thought, fairly obvious.

Also, those who claim that the media is "left" fail to point out that "left" and "right" have social dimensions, economic dimensions, and other dimensions. A person can be liberal on economics yet be a conservative on social matters. What would THEY be? They're both right AND left.

Still, you are welcome to believe otherwise. And I am welcome to put your on ignore. I see little value in your posts, both on theS&P e-minis and on politics.
