Under the MSM radar

[BT]

Once again what remedy do you propose to equalize this MSM bias. And who decides when it is equalized?

[sirs]

The remedy is outrage.....public scorn....public pressure, aimed at the right folks, which isn't Wall Street.  Common sense and evidence decies when its equalized

[BT]

Who are the right people to aim this outrage at? The Owwies are not concerned with media bias, in fact they count on it, so i doubt they will be the outraged. And the MSM must be aware of this bias since they produce the articles or lack thereof, so I'm not sure if your game plan has merit.

There are hundreds of news sources. Although a source can be unbiased in simply stating the facts of a story, there will always be some sort of bias when one story is instead of another, or given a headline or not. Sirs seems to want all news sources to be as outraged as he is over everything that outrages him. I don't think this will ever happen.

I find that 55 minutes of PBS News is more informative than 23 minutes of other stations. The commercials are both annoying and distracting on commercial TV as well. I do not expect a story to be totally unbiased, so long as the facts are all there, I can decide for myself.

There is no "right" people, there would be just people. who recognize the blatant bias, as I do.  Nor do I have a "gameplan", as you keep believing I do, outside of hilighting for those less informed to note.  Nor do I support legislation to bring about "balance/fairness" as you have supported in the past.  Thus there is no merit to be lacking

[Xavier_Onassis]

Did I say you proposed legislation? I did not.

I said what it SEEMS to me that you want, as you are always complaining about how you think Obama gores uncriticized for what you think Bush would have been criticized for had he done the same thing.

SEEMS, as in MY OPINION. This is how you look to me. And perhaps to others as well.

Now feel free to argle bargle incoherently about how I am wrong, while only you can have valid opinions, thereby ending the thread in the traditional manner.

Did I say you proposed legislation? I did not.

Was I responding to your question?  No I was NOT

Feel free now to engage in your standard insulting

So do you believe the people on this board have not seen your message?

Do you believe with your numerous threads on this board that readers are "less informed"?

I have never supported legislation to bring about "balance/fairness" in the media ,not sure why you would say i did. Perhaps you can find a post, to refresh my memory.

I believe the people who visit or are rarely visiting the saloon, have not

And since its an ongoing fluid level of folks who may be visiting for the 1st time, at any time, a comment by myself, may be the 1st one they've seen, and thus become more informed

And about a year+ ago, when we had this debate, and you kept trying to erroneously pin some support of the fairness doctrine, that I must be advocating with my ongoing MSM criticism, you yourself came out at that time to not only agree with the bias, but went so far as to support some form of mandate or legislative fairness.  & that's why I would say it.  When I have more time in the evening, I'll see if I can go back in our archives to locate that thread......if it hasn't been "lost"

So you have a low opinion of your fellow countrymen? Judging by the vast majority of casual visits we get are from web bots or the occasional eastern European or Asian hacker. I'm sure they are grateful for your illumination of the perceived problem.


Well let me know if you find it. Nice try with the "lost" dodge.

[sirs]

Not at all (not sure why you'd erronesoly claim that as well, but ok)

&

And no "dodge" either.  If that didn't jar your memory, only the actual quotes will.......if they can be found.  That's why I recall it so well, as it was very profound that you'd actually support such an effort.

[BT]

I don't see how such a law would be enforced absent a government takeover of the media, and i would certainly be against that, so i doubt i made such a claim. But you said i did, so i will wait patiently for the proof.

[sirs]

IIRC, after you couldn't get me to agree to the notion I was advocating some form of fairness doctrine, you conceded the bias, & supported some measure or mandate, though not sure if it was legislative or not.  It likely was legislative, since it would be the only venue such a mandate could be enforced

When I have time later, I'll try looking back over a year ago, to try and locate that thread, if it still exists

[BT]

As i said, i will wait patiently for you to produce documentation for your claim.

[sirs]

No problemma
