Interesting artical about the blatant media bias.

I don't know about some of you, but I get tired of being blamed for the actions of some crazy, some communist, some lunatic leftist, or some combination of all.

It's called PROJECTION, accusing others of exactly the things that they themselves are doing. A product of the inability to use critical thinking.

Might even be able to major in it soon, at a university near you!

This is why all of the race pimps see racism everywhere they look.

So, are we saying here that all the nutcases are on the far left?

You did read the article that I linked to, right?

The first sentence is: "Media assumptions that violence is right-wing are routine — and routinely wrong."

So, what "we" are saying here is, the main stream media routinely makes assumtions that the nutcases are far right but are routinely wrong, for which there are several examples.

That's why I watch Fox News.
The only reliable news source these days.
I especially enjoy O'Rielly's No Spin Zone - the man is a genius !

This ranks right up there with Romney's "Windows in aircraft should roll down".

Can't forget the gem that started it all




I'm still torn between whether or not he is actually that dumb or just a extremely well paid talking puppet for Rupert Murdoch's empire of misinformation.
Probably both.

Thanks for adding such depth and substance to the conversation. I'd ask your opinion on the article that this thread is about but I'm guessing that you haven't read it. It doesn't have any funny pictures with bright colors, consists of more than ten words and has proper punctuation.

Everyone with at least 2 brain cells to rub together knows Romney was cracking a joke with his airplane window comment.

If the left wing nuts in the media printed every legitimate Obama and Biden gaffe, they wouldn't get more than 30% of the vote.

And meanwhile, durable goods orders plunge 13% in August.

No wonder Obama supporters want to talk about important stuff like O'Reilly and airplane windows.

The same way anyone with at least 2 brain cells to rub together knows what Obama meant when he said "you didn't build that - someone helped you".
Unfortunately rooting for ones team gets in the way of common sense.

"Obama Supporters" ?
Who showed any support for Obama?

There's that 2 team mentality again.
Of course criticizing one team means you support the opposition.


While we're on the subject, how many "Romney supporters" paid even a miniscule amount of attention to the "news" or any current events while Lord Bush was in office ? Everything was peachy, their guy was in.

Politics only matter when the other team's guy is ruining the world!
It's truly amazing how many people all of a sudden become politically aware the minute their team loses an election.

The same way discussing the bush admin's effect on our current state is no longer allowed, if romney wins this election, it will be forbidden to discuss how the obama admin had any relevance to where we are currently at.
Otherwise you would have a double standard, correct?

Politics are so much fun

I imagine if you have just two brain cells, you might think that. If you read everything he said concerning the incident, and have a functioning complete brain, you could come to a very different conclusion. Possibly, he should have stated it more "elegantly".
