Let me see... did anyone in this thread say that MSNBC or CNN was more fair and balanced than Fox in their reporting? More trusted? Or did you bring this up as some kind of point that IMO is off point?

The differences are, which there are two glaring ones that if you want to stay on point and address:

1. Fox News tagline - which they scream at every opportunity and is the main label for their marketing and promotion - is "Fair and Balanced." They have it on their main webpage as a part of their main logo. MSNBC and CNN, and other organizations do not make this statement, and do not make this the most important thing about how they supposedly report. So, they are claiming, unlike the other channels, that they are fair and balanced reporters that supposedly tell the true story in all of their reporting, and are down the middle.

2. NewsCorp has no company policy on donations, and is in fact active and public donators to conservative political organizations, while maintaining a publicly stated position to report in a fair and balanced way, which everyone knows is complete bullshit. And I do mean everyone that is not in a political argument trying to support the conservative agenda. MSNBC has a company policy forbidding their reporters to donate to any political parties, and when one of them did it, they were suspended.

So, we have on one hand a left-leaning organization that is unabashedly so, that make no other claims, and has a policy against donating to the parties and candidates that share their opinions. On the other, we have a foreign-owned billionaire, who paid $12 per viewer to cable companies to get his personal political message out and get his network on as many outlets as he could, helped by the Bush administration who put in an FCC head that pushed through legislation that allowed corporations to buy up as many outlets in as many markets as they wanted to, effectively taking over the majority of the message. Buying up markets, now buying up candidates and more public favor now and in the future, all under the outright corporate tagline lie of being "Fair and Balanced."

But I think you know all that, and just won't/can't allow the truth to be allowed, since it hurts your cause. But at least, there is probably only one person that allows your view to be correct here (yourself), or virtually anywhere. If we're dealing with a truly fair and balanced look at things, that is. Which not all of us, clearly, are.

Yea -thought you posted this just yesterday--

"NBC has a policy against donations. Rupert Murdoch and Faux news MAKES news with millions in donations to conservative groups and political races. They had an employee go from their employ to become press secretary for the Bush administration, then hired him back immediately after he left the administration - and soon got the first personal interview with Bush.

NBC followed through with an appropriate policy decision, and should be commended for it. IMO. I don't see why this is that big a deal, really. Other than to point out more hypocrisy in "fair and balanced" land."
======================

Funny on fair and balanced--I thought you'd throw in most liberal NBC --GE connenctions--Gumby putting Immelt on boards- guid pro quo.
Somehow you missed that.

I hope you give the students the #'s on both sides and let them decide without the liberal lean. I would hate for them get out of class and not know diff between -impeachment-disbarrment and pergury and a BJ.

You're right, I did miss it. Never heard about it. So, tough to mention it. I probably missed it since he's one of fifteen leaders of business, finance, industry and economic studies to be named to the advisory committee. I guess that's the same thing, or worse... :facepalm:

And again, I'm not concerned about the quality and balance my students will receive in my classes. I daresay the info I post in here, such as NBC being unabashedly left-leaning (guess you missed THAT), seems to be taken more down the middle than much of what you post. But, I don't expect you to see it that way. You do seem to be extremely concerned about my future students and how much extra time I have on my hands of late, though. Maybe you should spend more time worrying about your golf game, I dunno... :shrug:

Dogs, how about he just teach his students the truth instead of some naive shit redneck's and gullible nitwits fall for? Dogs when Mark Foley and the toe tappper were caught messing with kids and gay's Fox put a D next to their names. Now they knew this was an out and out lie. Why should Chad teach anyonwe what this disgrace of an alleged news station spouts or believes in?

MSNBC says Olbermann will be back on air Tuesday




MSNBC's chief executive Phil Griffin said late Sunday that after several days of deliberation, he had determined that two days off the air was "an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy."

Let's see. Savage is jewish, but bashes jews. He experimented with homosexuality, yet bashes homosexuals. Despite having multiple advanced degrees, he feels compelled to lie about his phd.

Typical over the top self-loather. Probably has a small penis, too.....

I think I have legit concern where my tax $ is spent- since we the people/tax payors- pay teachers salary-retirement and union dues-- that they represent all of america not just the 18% liberal element.

--actions and convictions have consequences

You might want to look at 2010 exit polls and see where these convictions lead--
http://online.wsj.com/article/capital_journal.html#project=EXITPOLL101102&articleTabs=interactive

-or maybe more precisely--all of us might look in mirror and ask ourselves- are we happy with our situation/ have our convictions served us well.

?Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.?
