76% of GOP now 'conservative,' pick Cruz for 2016 nomination

[rightwinger]

We haven't even had the midterms yet and we're pick8ng presidential candidates? Too damn early

Not for Daveman and Tinydancer.

They've already hitched their wagon to this guy.

.

The teaparty is so desperate for a candidate, they're ready to accept just about anything at this point.

Ted Cruz.......Rand Paul
Rand Paul.......Ted Cruz

TeaTards.....the gift that keeps on giving

 

[Missourian]

I know you guys believe this. But I am asking you to prove it. Can you cite any academic study that supports your claim?

None that you would accept because you wouldn't accept any to start with.

I am very open to proof. Try me.

Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist



While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspaper's news pages are liberal, even more liberal than The New York Times. The Drudge Report may have a right-wing reputation, but it leans left. Coverage by public television and radio is conservative compared to the rest of the mainstream media. Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left.


These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study, which is believed to be the first successful attempt at objectively quantifying bias in a range of media outlets and ranking them accordingly.

They have to have at least one viable TeaTard out there somewhere. Are you sure they searched under each and every rock for one?

How much stock should one put in their adversaries opinion of their strategy?

If they are smart, none at all.

If they are brilliant, they would read between the lines.

Did ou read that report?

I found the measurements to be interesting and some of the sources he called biased to the left....to be odd. Drudge? Liberal?

The guy also wrote a book.

Go with that...

Listen to FoxNews....they never steered you wrong

Well then, let's do it. The Republicans need a true blue, all conservative ticket. No more RINO's, no more moderates. Go full bore right and let's get on with it. Cruz & Paul, Cruz/Paul/Santorum & Palin/Bachmann, whatever. Let's go.

This would be a good time to answer the Republican vs. Conservative debate once and for all. It would also make for a wild campaign.

.

I agree, I guess it's time to see how a very conservative ticket would do.
In 2012, the GOP got killed within the largest voting bloc in the US, the moderates, when they ran a candidate who at one time was identified as one of them. How will that voting bloc react to a candidate quite a bit more to the right than the candidate they voted against in 2012?
The more America has become polarized by the "true" conservatives and "true"liberals , the more voters have declared themselves to be moderate.
Yup, 2016 could be very interesting.

Keep watching MSLSD, they always steer you left.

Kook and conservative are not the same thing.

I agree with that.

Think about it.

Drudge doesn't write anything, they link to existing stories and attach a headline.

If the media is generally biased to the left, by extension Drudge would also tend to skew left.

Yours was not peer reviewed either.

I gave it a look. I found some of it too convenient. I found some info about the guy and some criticism of his methodology.

This upsets you.

Based on the study, CNN is centrist and even the most liberal of media outlests is about as liberl as Joe Lieberman. Do you agree with that?

You've never been to Drudge, have you.

You can't believe everything the leftwingers tell you Sarah.

They lie.

I took the top five story headlines on Drudge just now and sourced them just for you...so you can believe what you see, and not what I tell you.

The last one from Politico was the main headline on Drudge, but including the headline in the image made it too big.

What is there to be upset about?

You asked for a study, you claimed you were open minded.

I gave you a study...you weren't pleased with the result, so you went looking for a reason to dismiss it.

And the cycle continues.

You will never be convinced by any amount of evidence...your mind is made up.

So why should I waste my time looking up studies that prove what is common knowledge to try to convince someone who will find a way to dismiss any evidence.

How about this?

You read the studies, find a method of dismissing them and post that.

The study didn't fall short...that is your unchecked bias.

One guy disputing methodology does not invalidate a study.

No, I didn't know about the study before I googled it.

I don't need a study to prove the liberal bias.

I see the liberal bias in the media every day...you don't see it because you agree with it, so it is glossed right over.

 

[Missourian]

Yours was not peer reviewed either.

Sorry, I missed this the first time through.

It most certainly was peer reviewed, that was the criteria you stipulated.

The study appeared in the Oxford Quarterly Journal of Economics.
