How the hell is that any different then using a right leaning website to make the case that there is left wing bias to the media?

the daily kos is a blog created by like 9 angry 20 year old white men. and probably a token minority here and there. most of them probably attended bronicon.

the difference is that the daily kos is not a "left leaning website." it's a left wing terrorist blog.

So you're saying it's porn?

That wasn't really a question. Knowing what I do about Kos' Kids, I already know the answer.

once again Daily Kos lies, twists and obfuscates.

Bankers had been lobbying Congress since the 80's to repeal portions of GS.

Greenspan gave the green light to the merger of Citibank and Travelers based on his interpretation of GS. Then he went to work on Congress.

Parts of GS were repealed by the Gramm- Leach-Bliley Act. The three co-sponsors were Republican reps/senator. The banking lobby wrote it.

Most of the house and senate approved it and Clinton signed it.

And they figured out that " news" that outrages their viewers the most has a greater audience share.

No one does it better in my book than Fox News. And I am talking technique, here.

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.

good one!!

I believe this is being referenced.
Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act
However, the left right thing seems a farce. Like wading in the kiddy pool. The Big 6 is a conglomerate and the largest shareholder is govt. That seems a far more important issue imo.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

"The Media" are profit-driven corporations.

That is the bottom line fact that so many non-analytical hate radio addicts seem incapable of grasping.

They'll do whatever it takes to increase the bottom line, which is mostly sensationalism.

Liberal slant? Compared to the knuckle-draggers on right wing radio, Genghis Khan would seem to be a leftie.
