I think all of us here on DU can agree on at least one thing.

[Danger Mouse]

FUCK THE MEDIA.
I'm so sick of this bullshit. You couldn't see them bend over fast enough to kiss Bush's ass for all of eight years, but the moment President Obama takes office, they're 'keeping him honest.'
They are proving now, just as much as ever, that they are the enemy. Ridiculous, useless, fucksticks. Don't believe what you see or read in the MSM, cause you can be guaranteed it's in the tank for the Repuke agenda.

1. no arguments here

I remember the NYTimes doing a mea culpa around 2005 (after the Bush-Kerry election, how convenient) about how they failed to do their jobs in the run up to the Iraq war. Then of course they and the rest of the MSM went right back to kissing Bush ass. They miraculously found their voices on 11/5/08.

2. I hate them. Repuke boot-licking scum.

3. Glenn Greenwald and Jay Rosen, who were on Bill Moyers

Friday night nailed the media and the Washington insiders. Did you watch? It was a thing of beauty. http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/02062009/watch.html

6. Nope, but thanks to you, now I can.

Thank you. :toast:

4. the clintonization of barack obama

MUST.NOT.STAND.

[Danger Mouse]

5. Seriously. We can't let them do to Barack what they did to Bill.

How can we help him?

13. i wish i knew. every new day at du

makes me shake my head. the bashing that is going on here is just incredible.

fight the battle de du, i guess. if we can keep the folks around here focused on the truth maybe that helps. pretty sad to see how many writers that were so against bush have just turned the guns and kept on firing. david sirota comes to mind.

keep tellin' the truth. that is the only thing i know.

7. But if they spent all of that time kissing Bush's hind end...

... then why are all of my right-wing friends convinced of le grande liberal media elite?

Sorry to blow your "we can all agree" thread lol .... the media is not biased in favor of Republicans OR Democrats ... they are biased in favor of THEMSELVES and their constant need to keep us watching.

That's their job ... it's how they pay the bills .... it's our job as viewers to give our attention to those who ... you know .... speak the truth lol (and we all know that's Keith and Rachel! :) )

[Danger Mouse]

9. They're convinced of the 'grande liberal media elite' because that's what Rush Limbaugh told them

to believe.
we all know it's a dirty lie.

[Clio the Leo]

12. I know it's a lie but....

... the notion that the media is biased SOLELY AGAINST the Dems is ....well, not a lie ... but a bit of a stretch.

They're biased against everyone who's not them.

[Danger Mouse]

15. Of course they're not just against the Dems...

but I think it's fairly obvious they favor Repukes.

[Clio the Leo]

17. ha ha! I need to get you and some of my Repug friends in a room together then....

..... that would be a fun debate to watch. ;)

[Danger Mouse]

18. could they provide some examples of pro-liberal bias in the media?

i'd love to see it. :P
and not from olbermann/maddow/matthews.

[Clio the Leo]

19. Of course they cant. But apparently Keith....

... is enough to justify all of their rants.

I'm trying to convince them that MSNBC only has him on to feed my carnal desires, but I dont think it's working. :)

[Danger Mouse]

20. So keith makes up for, hmm, ALL of Fox News, not including radio...

which is almost entirely rightwing?

[Clio the Leo]

21. ha ha, do you want me to call them and conduct this conversation...

... via phone and internet?

That's my long answer.

My short answer is .... I DONT KNOW! lol :)

Dont try to reason with the unreasonable. You'll just give yourself a headache.

[Danger Mouse]

22. Fair enough.

:P

8. the only media i see these days are the 2 newspapers i get everyday, the local news

cause Cally is messed up and BBC america nightly newscast. I have sworn off all cable "Opinion" shows and the network news broadcasts. The cable shows, life is much better without them.

[Hissyspit]

16. Agg!

I'm never gonna be able to keep track of all these username changes.

[Hissyspit]

10. Freepers and right-wing pundits are saying there is a double-standard.

The media is treating Obama much nicer than they ever treated Bush.

:eyes:

[Danger Mouse]

11. isn't the ability to self-delude grand?

:P
