If I wanted to spend time looking at hastily flung together copy and paste jobs, I could just as easily stay here looking at the threads with decidedly liberal titles. (Why I Am Ashamed to be American in 10 Reasons or Less, Why Somalia is the Place to Be in 2013, Farm to Table-Organic-Non-GMO-Fair Trade-Holistic-Vegan Recipes to Kick Start Your Labor Day Party!!, etc.
Wow. You really are lost, aren't you? Sorry.

Why not? Everyone likes a good fictional piece.

Do you claim it is anything than what I stated? If not, you obviously haven't looked at it. It is literally, nothing more than an unrelated series of infographics and snippets from a variety of sources that have zero unifying thread. The only thing that seems to tie the whole thing together is disdain for the right.

once again Daily Kos lies, twists and obfuscates.


In other news, the non-liberal-biased-NBC is about to launch an Info-mercial for Hillary Clinton right before she announces her 2016 presidential campaign.
You're talking about the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, written by three Republicans? Which one is a liberal?

that was my first thought, but he may be talking about Dodd Frank.

wait, you are using a left leaning website to make the case that there is no left wing bias to the media?

Wow, is Daily Kos a massive mainstream corporate juggernaut like NBC, CBS, ABC, Tribune, Disney, Fox? I had no idea.

Well God bless America, I've been saying for a long time that the so called liberal media is a myth. Some of the reasons I feel that way

"Half a dozen attacks under Clinton but only one under Bush (on American soil)"
A claim made countless times and not once did the so called "liberal media" ever ask about the embassies that were attacked under Bush, not once did they ask why are you counting overseas attacks under Clinton but only attacks on American soil under Bush

The underwear bombing attempt being classified as a terrorist attack. Not once did anybody from the "liberal media" ask if that was a terrorist attack then why wasn't the shoe bombing a terrorist attack. There were even a few cases where people specifically cited the underwear bomber as a terrorist attack under Obama and then went on to say there was only one attack under Bush. Guilinani for one did that and was not contested.

The hoopla about how Obama was refusing to release his college records. Nobody asked why Romney hadn't released his. Or even mentioned that he hadn't released his.

Votes on cloture being reported as a vote on the bill itself. They don't even use the word "filibuster" anymore, they just report the vote on cloture as if it was a valid up or down vote for the bill itself. I am getting sick and tired of reading that there was a vote on something only to read later that it "lost" by 56 to 44, or something. A vote to break a filibuster is NOT a vote on the bill itself

Media corporations are corporations whose main goal is to make a profit.

They are capitalists, if that is your idea of a leftist, than you have no idea what a leftist is.
