Some people go around saying over and over that the media is Left-Wing.

During 2008, the media refused to use the word recession until the White House (George Bush) finally used it in December 2008.
All year long in 2008, the Right-Wing media used "The R word" to talk about recession without saying the word.

They were even saying "The R word in September 2007"
The 'R' word may spell trouble for Republicans - Sep. 2007

And then some people come out saying that we've been in a recession for 1 year (since December 2007)
So they waited for Bush "Lame duck" year to go by, before saying that we were in a recession
It's official: U.S. in a recession since December 2007 - Dec. 1, 2008


Meanwhile Obama is been president for about 50 days and he's blamed for the huge pile of s... that Bush left.

The Republicans and conservatives scream that the media is left-wing because they're not hearing what they want to hear. If they don't hear something they support, it's a conspiracy. They'd rather swallow the lies of Fox News and comfortably burp up dinner in the comfort of the blue glow of their televisions than accept the fact that reality begs to differ with them.

In any case, all this duality is manufactured to split us up. The media might turn left or right on purpose to divide us up on the next important issue. This pendulum swings by the whims of the corporatocracy. A divided population, one that insists that the opposite side is biased or wrong, has a very hard time discerning the REAL truth. The media is doing its hardest to make sure we never get that truth. Their only real bias is against US.

They get their excuses from their leaders "Limbaugh and the gang". Haven't you noticed how they all seem to use the same slang about everything"porculus,or porkapalooza"for example. As soon as I here someone use the same slang I know who I'm dealing with and not to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Are there any Conservatives on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS or NPR? If so, who are they? As much as I do not like FOX sometimes, at least something like Hannity and Colmes offers something along the lines of that utopic BS Obama is proposing, the so called Fairness Doctrine. Isnt it amazing and ironic that Obama is talking about the Fairness Doctrine when the Conservative point of view is only expressed through a couple channels: FOX News and Conservative talk radio

Do you watch the news for information or opinions? I don't care about the who is giving the information as long as it is thorough and factual. The facts are not liberal or conservative they are just facts. I don't really watch any of the three (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) for news but for entertainment and don't take them as the news. I want my news to be facts so I can form my own opinion. Unfortunately in order to form a factual opinion you really can't rely on msm and much less talk radio.
