The Left Controls the Media

[HoosierJoe]

I was under the impression Fox was the number one rated station out there. IF so, here is a question. Are they left leaning?

What is the basis of your question?

Certainly, not logic.

Did you believe "Fox was the number one rated" = "left leaning"?

No, Fox is "Fair and Balanced," as well as "number one rated."

In point of fact Fox hires more Liberals than the other cables hire conservatives.

Right. Whenever you find yourself in disagreement with the left, simply use facts!

 

[konradv]

you can always take it upon yourself to disprove their assertions or facts. facts as in the medias use of the pejorative con vs. liberal labeling which I have already described.

Their assertions are to that the combined throw weight of the media submerges con outlets, by a huge margin, there fore this provides a platform that is overwhelming, and I won't even count the day time shows the view, good morning America etc etc etc ....the TV' entertainment' programming.


And what makes that fact important is; each on of us, you me all of us employ bias. we seek out and extend from ourselves what we perceive or feel is 'right' in every context and medium.

The newsrooms, media depts. etc etc etc . of that media have a combined pop. that is over 85% self identifying left of center/liberal.

Fox is slanted, no doubt about it, and so to are the rest. it really is that simple.

Every American who has access to the media has access to conservative programming,

in abundance. No one is being denied access to the remote, or the radio dial, or having their internet access filtered.

This rightwing complaint is without merit.

But the lions share of media does lean left.

What, are we supposed to reward the losers? If the media leans left, it's because the right has lost the war of ideas.

Every American who has access to the media has access to conservative programming,

Isn't that precisely what you of the left seek the "Hush Rush" bill, censorship of Fox and FCC control of the Web? - Because people has access to alternative views?

Sure it is!

in abundance. No one is being denied access to the remote, or the radio dial, or having their internet access filtered.

This rightwing complaint is without merit.

Yet the left continues to work on censoring all of these, through the "fairness doctrine" and "net neutrality" which crush opposition media sources.

 

[HoosierJoe]

Eventually, many media outlets will find out that liberalism does not pay. We will see programming change over gradually. The old guard liberal media still dominates but they are getting older.

You're not the sharpest marshmallow in the bag, Konnie.

{Fox is the most trusted television news network in the country, according to a new poll out Tuesday.

A Public Policy Polling nationwide survey of 1,151 registered voters Jan. 18-19 found that 49 percent of Americans trusted Fox News, 10 percentage points more than any other network.

Thirty-seven percent said they didn’t trust Fox, also the lowest level of distrust that any of the networks recorded.

There was a strong partisan split among those who said they trusted Fox — with 74 percent of Republicans saying they trusted the network, while only 30 percent of Democrats said they did.

CNN was the second-most-trusted network, getting the trust of 39 percent of those polled. Forty-one percent said they didn’t trust CNN. }

Do you have to work at being this big of a moron, or does it come naturally?
Your war of ideas has to do with having the fucking government take care of your sorry ass at every level, is this the war of ideas you're talking about?

We're talking intelligence and ideas, NOT polls. You can ask all your friends and they can all say the same thing, but that doesn't make it valid.

How does media opinion equate with my life circumstances, a topic with which you have no information whatsoever?!?! The war of ideas I'M talking about, is the one you're losing. It's obvious or you'd bring up some examples, instead of throwing out the typical wingnut generic charges.

Eventually, many media outlets will find out that liberalism does not pay. We will see programming change over gradually. The old guard liberal media still dominates but they are getting older.

For 40 years, Edward Murrow ran roughshod on Television news. Even NBC and ABC bowed to the Murrow methods of literally consulting the democratic party on the presentation of important stories.

World War II hero and singing cowboy, Gene Autry bought Los Angeles television station KTLA specifically to run an alternative to what he called "Murrow's Communist propaganda."

For a very long lime, far left programming in news reporting did pay, and was the only option. Murrow spawned such far left news readers as Walter Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley and a host of lesser icons of the golden age of controlled news. The party directly controlled what the nation saw on the news, with rare exception by local stations. Generally, ABC+CBS+NBC = DNC, and that was what America had. Murrow is dead and cable plus the internet have broken the back of managed news. The old players still run the same game, but now look like fools for their effort.

Some of my family watched the movie JFK last night.
Now keep in mind that movie is full of lies and distortions such as the CIA had Kennedy killed and the lawyer that Costner played was not a liar and a crook.
They loved the movie but the liberal PC bias of it did not change their opinion that Oswald was the lone shooter.

Konnie, you were talking about winners and losers, the biggest winner in news is Fox.

What, are we supposed to reward the losers?

You truly are a moron, Konnie.

Kon....it isn't a war of ideas....it's a war on ideology.
This last election wasn't about a war on ideas, the right picked up those seats because of Obama's ideology of a government. Only wingnuts would be in denial about that. By the way, where do you stand?

Stand on what? Kind of a general question. Be specific, I don't have all day. "War on Ideas", "War on Ideology", To-MAY-to, To-MAH-to!

I think the right usually blames it on lousy educational standards, but then they benefit from it, too! Quite a dilemma!!!

Konnie, you have an IQ in the low 60's - so I don't blame you from not grasping what you read.

Still, it was Gene Autry who accused Murrow of spreading Communist propaganda. I will say that I trusted Autry a lot more than Murrow.

Murrow had the guts to fly on bombing raids as a reporter over Germany. He established the on site reporting crews after the invasion in Europe. He had the balls to call McCarthy a God Damned Liar for being a God Damned Liar and was willing to take the heat for doing so. For his bravery as a reporter on the front lines in WWII he was awarded as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth. Most all other European countries gave him similar honors.
Murrow was no communist. That is bull shit. Anyone that believes so is distorting the truth.
