yeah but would you bit her ass?

Greece = the end result of democratic policy :2 cents:

Its a man Baby !!!!

This country needs a REAL Progressive Left Leaning Liberal news channel. I'm not kidding.

You can't run oil, gas, fast-food, and pharmaceutical ads all day long, and think you are appealing to Progressives. You can't present ALL of the facts, or have an UNEDITED debate, for fear that you will piss off the corrupt sponsors that keep you afloat.

5 corporations run all of the media. That's not journalism, it's just propaganda. Liberal Media my ass!

Wouldn't the NewsHour on PBS qualify for that?

Here are two of the many public letters posted to PBS...

Dear PBS,

I don't recall NOVA doing a program dealing with climate change, which, I think is the most important scientific challenge of the time.

My real concern is that this is because of David Koch's support of the program.

If that is the case, then I believe we need a congressional investigation, but I'd like to hear your response first. Are you constrained by some "unholy" agreement with David Koch? Please come clean and let me know.

Hello,

Your news programming and commentary segments are a very important part of information gathering for the general public. Many political and social views are represented in your reporting and interviews, contributing to a balanced exposure to the issues.

In many cases however, points of view are represented from invited commentators that promote misinformation and disinformation on many crucial topics. The following list includes many of the organizations that have been guilty of false representation on the air and in print via the public broadcasting system:

Heritage Foundation
Cato Institute
Americans for Prosperity
FreedomWorks
American Legislative Exchange Council
State Policy Network
George Mason University Foundation
Heartland Institute
American Tradition Institute
Beacon Hill Institute
Mackinac Center for Public Policy

These organizations are all connected to Koch Industries and Koch Family Foundations, through considerable influence and monetary support, in order to gain control of our political system and the commerce that Koch Industries and their subsidiaries own.

I urge you to end your association with these and any other organizations that promote untruthful dissemination. You owe it to the public that supports you, and to the nation as a whole, to be sure that any information presented through the public broadcasting system is not tainted by vested interests or originates from undue influence.

This is the end result of the Republican party..

or Afghanistan... ie everyone has guns, no one pays taxes and everyone is a religious fanatic..

you actually need a news channel without any left or right propaganda...

This... 24/7 News networks and the decline of News Papers has pretty much killed journalistic integrity. It's now all about selling ad spots like some shitty ass CJ on TV..

A channel that presented REAL FACTS and JUST FACTS would quickly be interpreted as a left-leaning, liberally-biased, network.

Imagine the look on the face of the first politician to sit down and get asked unscripted, unapproved questions...

Hello Congressman Dickface, or Senator Douchewad, I'd like to ask you a few questions about who funded your campaign, and how you managed to make over $x million dollars since you arrived here in Washington DC, etc...

The "truth" will remain elusive, as long as our system is totally fucking corrupt.

The only fix is the guillotine. Once a few heads begin to roll our "elected leaders" may finally wake up from their greedy stupors.

Unfortunately voting will not fix this problem - it's too deep and it's gone too far.

Just a few heads should be enough. :2 cents:

You mean like how der spiegel is pro-israeli or how faz is anti-Russian?

Fitty one :( things falling apart :Graucho

I don't think a few heads rolling down the steps would fix anything. Look at China for example. They have a pretty good record of executing politicians whom are corrupt. Yet they are still corrupt as fuck, because everyone thinks they are the smart one whom will get away with it.

Here is a decent opinion piece on the subject..

China?s Crazy Executions Don?t End Public Corruption - US News

I was thinking about reading this thread, but had to stop here. Just so you know, Palin's show and Sharpton's show are not news shows. Just like any newspaper anywhere [I have been anyway] has an op-ed (editorial) page, that is all shows with people like Sharpton, Palin, O'Reilly, Maddow or any other talking head are; they are just editorial page of MSNBC/Fox/CNN

Liberals make up less than 30% of the US population. Plus, they are very fragmented. Conservatives, however, make up around 50% and easier to target.

No wonder FNC dominates cable. Also, their trolling skills are far superior.

I wish there was a Libertarian channel (no, I'm not talking about Kennedy's show on Fox Business), I'd be a lifetime subscriber.

76.4513% of all statics are made up ;)

Great post. When I was a working journalist (1986-1999) I was mostly involved in entertainment and the music industry. But I dabbled in 'mainstream' journalism and did some investigative articles, mostly on piracy (video tapes back then, if you can imagine), real estate fraud, homelessness and a few other socio-economic issues. But know what I discovered? As biased and manipulated as I felt entertainment "journalism" was, "mainstream" journalism was ten times worse!

This is television I am talking about. Newspapers and magazines were on their last legs but still relatively strong (now, of course, they too are mostly shit). TV would take one of my stories and "re-focus" it. That was their term. They took a couple paragraphs and expanded it into the piece that would air on 20/20 and PrimeTimeLive. The whole point of my article changed radically and was not 'truthful' at all but rather just plain old exploitative. After 3-4 of these experiences I left for greener pastures.

Today? I would not believe ANY news channel if they told me it was 6 pm. I would still check my watch. Facts? Please. LOL
