It appears that yet again you didn't read or didn't understand or refuse to acknowledge what I wrote. A fallacy is a failure in reasoning that renders an argument invalid. Pointing out the fallacy is addressing it.

My claims aren't faulty. You simply wish they were, and wish perhaps you could declare them as such by fiat. You simply aren't empowered to do so. Like I said, you posted nothing to justify your implied claim. Until you do, your comments remain invalid, as per the definition above. Accept the fact that your fallacies were exposed and move on, or try, if you're able, to form a cogent and defensible argument.

Certainly the quality of Journalism has suffered tremendously over the years turning into entertainment. I remember when the Democrats passed the climate change bill back '09 which was just as important news if not more important than the health care legislation. That story didn't have legs though and was overshadowed by Michael Jacksons death. My local paper devoted the front page, page 2 and page 3 to MJ. They buried the climate bill near the obituaries.

Not so much the GOP, but to the RWNJs, anybody that tells the truth is obviously biased.

It's often so subtle you can't see it for what it is. Let's go back to one of the sentences I posted previously in an article posted about education spending here in PA. Keep in mind this paper has been critical of Corbett since he took office.

Quote:
On Thursday, Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican seeking a second term, signed a state budget and boasted about investing a record $12 billion in state funding for early, basic and postsecondary education.
See what they did here? They took what should be a positive thing for those that support education spending and turned it into something negative.

Your "claims" are only your opinions, which are especially one-sided and based on a double standard. There is no debating on actual issues. Anyone reading them and thinking rationally can see that. For whatever reason, you either cannot or just ignore that inconvenient reality. End of story.

I was giving an example of the opposite side of the double standard. Apparently that went over your head.

You sound upset.

If media bias is feigned, show us.
Neither of you have.

The media bias against the GOP is undeniable. It's fact, not opinion. There have been studies done on it that prove it.

Media bias is real, finds UCLA political scientist | UCLA

But, of course, since you yourself tilt to the left I'm sure you'll ignore it and continue to claim that the bias doesn't exist.

R. Reagan tripled our national debt, and Carter did not hurt us financially. Should'nt the press do more negative stories about Reagan?

Clinton balanced the federal budget, and GW Bush turned that balanced budget into huge deficits. Should'nt the press do more negative stories about Bush?

GW Bush's Iraq war made the world hate America, and Obama's victory made the world love us again. Should'nt the press do more negative stories about Bush?

And when Clinton was in office everyones stocks were doing great, workers were getting huge income tax credits, and no one was complaining about money. But republican supply side tax cuts and increased military spending destroyed those days. Shouldnt the American press treat democrats better?
