Pick whatever applies, if for example you're conservative and can only identify a liberal news source then just pick one. If you're a conservative and can identify both a liberal and conservative news source pick both.

Major news sources would be Fox, CNN, NYT etc.

It is obvious who the brainwashed are in this country, when one side can identify only the opposite side. Liberals have just bought the media's agenda without questioning any slants on reporting.

A good example: mainstream news outlets for the last 3 decades have used the following vocabulary---- "right-wing extremist, ultra-conservative, right-wing idealogue".

Do you think just a FEW honest liberals with a BIT of integrity would question the MSM on the use of these terms, since they NEVER hear or read the terms "left-wing extremist", "ultra-liberal", or "left-wing idealogue".

Interesting Einstein that you would argue in one thread and I'll quote:
Quote:
There is no such thing as "left leaning news source".
..and then vote in this one there is.

Matter of fact you have voted 4 times, are you trying to screw the poll up on purpose?

i voted as a moderate. at a minimum, fox news is conservative and msnbc is liberal. wsj is conservative, nytimes is liberal.

the liberal media works in a subtle, sinister way, with a creeping feminist, litigous political correctness that establishes itself as the cultural norm.

the conservative media is like soviet agitprop, or hanoi hannah blaring over a loudspeaker or something. Small in numbers, but the most brazen liars you will ever see.

i guess i kind of hate them all, bob.

The cable news networks are biased, even in their news broadcasts. Its the opinion shows that really do the damage, IMO.

You're right, it's the right wing goons that eat up the propaganda that is fed to them. They have been programmed to see any news that isn't hard right as "liberal" and that only their right wing biased outlets are "fair and balanced"

I can't say I've ever heard those words used in the main stream media. The only times you really will hear those are from left or right leaning political commentary shows.

What about (Canadian) can see bia's on both sides..We pretty much get all American media up here on our TV and Radio stations and we (I) can see biased view points in the media be it A Conservative Media Outlet/Broadcaster or Liberal Media Outlet/Broadcaster...

Then Again our local and National Media would have a biased views for Canada and Canadians that benfit their local and national interests also.... Be it Libeal Media or Conservative Media depending on where you get you news and political updates from and were you stand with your political viewpoints personally...

Just look at the Wright story that came out a couple days ago. Totally ignored by the NYT, WAPO, NBC, CBS, etc.

they liike newspapers i the days of yellow jopuranlism are all bised to a degree. In fact at least new2sappers use to actaully identfy with the two parties directly. I national TV media all the big 3 where very liberal but resticited as to what they coud say by edciotrs. It really all started IMO of goig over board with JFK;i which the media was a conpriator i the whole Camelot thng and actully knew the truth long before he was ever president. They alos hid the real fact that US blinked in Cuban missle crisis by agreeing to remove new miisles in europe just deployed and hid Kennedy's obcession to kill Castro.
