see above, see above, see above" What the hell does that show? That you made one conclusion and want to tie everything back to it?


What it means is that the same explanation is viable for all of them. It's very clever, I must say. Sorry if you didn't get it.

Let me help you out here, since it appears you aren't really capable of reading a Web site you don't agree with.


Nice to see people follow my lead...


Quote:

66 percent agree strongly or somewhat that the news media "favor a liberal point of view." Only 26 percent disagree strongly or somewhat that the news media "favor a liberal point of view."


Quote:

39 percent think national network TV news is biased against conservative political groups such as the Christian Coalition, National Rifle Association, National Right to Life Committee, compared to only 14 percent who believe it is biased in favor of such groups. 41 percent believed TV news was even-handed toward conservative political groups.


Quote:

47% of voters believed the meida wanted Gore to win, while only 23% felt they wanted Bush to win


Where, may I ask, did these numbers come from, again?

KEY FINDINGS OF GALLUP POLL:

Quote:

By three-to-one, more Americans say that the media are too liberal (45%) than too conservative (15%).



Quote:

63% of conservatives think the news media are too liberal, as do 43% of moderates and even 18% of liberals.



In the summer of 2003, Princeton Survey Research Associates conducted a poll of 1,201 American adults

Quote:

Twice as many Americans believe news organizations are liberally (51 percent) rather than conservatively biased (26 percent).



Quote:

Not only do a majority of Republicans (by three-to-one) and independents (by two-to-one) see the news media liberally biased, Democrats do as well. Forty-one percent of Democrats perceive the media as liberally biased compared to 33 percent of Democrats who see it as conservatively biased


Did you actually not read what I said at all? What are the demographics for this gallup poll? They had a bad habit of skewing their sample groups for the 2004 election.

Oh, and even if a selected group of a thousand people think something doesn't make it so. A better way to analyze data is to look at hard facts COUGHMEDIAMATTERS instead of the rhetoric people have been told to recite.

So say it again, SuperFlyingRetard..
Quote:

Oh, and your website link is retarded. It says that the majority of America believes the media is liberally biased. But then, its factual tables at the bottom state that the majority of people believe the media is biased. Not liberally."


When you're wrong, just admit it.. continuing to argue your point which is obviously and factually wrong, is sort of childish. wait a minute, what else would I expect?


You fail to have read what I said. While I hate to get into semantics, I specifically referred to the tables that the second paragraph listed.

That Web site definitely states the public feel that the media is biased LIBERALLY. So, are you willing to retract your accusation that it is "retarded" and give it a chance? Or would you rather find some other reason to believe its contents are "retarded".

That's such a great argument, can you tell I like it? " YOR PO1nT Iz R0nG Be CAusE tHe sITe Iz RetaRDed!!"


It's a 9 million page "thesis" paper based on surveys that I could not locate to have ever existed saying people think this. That's not much ground to stand on.

EDIT: Oh yeah, almost forgot;

ACK

People "hear" lots of things but that doesn't make it true, now does it? I heard you're a purple monkey dishwasher, but that doesn't make you one simply because I heard so.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
