As you have noticed, I have been making a lot of blogs that are questions. I don't know these answers when I ask these questions, so I am truly looking for answers.

I always hear the "liberal media." Why is the media liberal? I judt don't understand why. Were they liberal when they had a field day with Obama's minister? To me, the media is just idioitic. Plus, when you listen to talk radio personalities (and I realize they aren't the media per se) all I ever hear are right leaning personalities. I know they aren't all conservative, but the majority are. I mention this because it is as if conservatives are always complaining about how thier voice isn't heard, or something like that, because of the LIBERAL MEDIA!

So, what makes the media liberal?

Liberal at one time was a good word for individual freedom , but its has been bastardize.

Today its slang for a person who is bias and a person who tells half truths to manipulates you to his views..

They say Bias is in the eye of the beholder.

I say there could be no bias if you check the facts before you answer,just fools would be left...

Well, I guess that is what a liberal is to conservatives. Liberal is used as a bad word these days.

The media rarely checks facts before they come out with a story. In a competitive market where sensationanlism is the key to higher ratings, the media is not a wholly trustable enitity.

But, how is it liberal?

It's funny to me because if I asked three self proclaimed conservatives the definition of a liberal I would get three different answers and the same thing would happen if I asked three liberals what was the definition of a conservative.......

But I have figured it out..... The world is full of Movie Stars.... There are the ones that know their lines and there are the ones that don't.....

They are unable to report the news Objectively! Poll after poll indicate that most journalist are 85-90% liberal.

Watch Keith Oberdork...this guy validates the notion of biased coverage.

JBB, that snwered my question in no way. I don't even know who Keith Oberman (or whatever his name is) is. He is one liberal out of how many conservatives in the "liberal media"? And what polls are you referring to JBB?

Still wondering why the media is liberal.

The media isn't liberal, it isn't conservative, it's just senseless. I find it laughable how biased both MSNBC and Fox News is, I really can't tell which is worse anymore, although I'll always consider Fox to be a terrible source for accurate and unbiased information. They really have some idiots on there, see "Fox and Friends". They both should change the tag from "news channel" to "opinion channel", see Keith Oberman - this stuff isn't news any more-so than The Daily Show or The Colbert Report... As a matter of fact, I'd almost say that you can get better information from those two at times!

I'll just say this, if the media really is "liberal", they wouldn't be showing 24/7 coverage of the elections and other "news", and as a result, ignoring the "war" in Iraq/Afghanistan. When is the last time you've heard anything about that? I find it sickening that we've STILL got thousands upon thousands of troops over there, still getting blown up, shot at, and attacked daily, and the "liberal" media couldn't give the time of day over there. Also, if the media is so "liberal", why do they never question or bring up any of the lies, deception, and constitutional-hurdling this administration has served up time and time again over the past 8 years? It's a shame that there's so many sheep in this country that just keep walking up the the trough and sucking this slop up...

The media has always been on the liberal side . The only change I see .In the last few yaers ,some have stopped reporting the whole story . They now place the truth 2nd to their politial leanings .

The printed media is the worst . And the loss of News Paper sales reflect as much .

CNN , MSNBC make no bones about who they souppot .

When they say something like Matthew said, he gets shivers down his leg when he hears Obama speak. When the put Conservative Labels on McCain and Palin and leave the Liberal Label off Obama and Biden. When for 2 weeks they sweep the Edwards affair under the rug because they don't want to hurt Obama. This is just an appetizer to the entee.

Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist

These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study, which is believed to be the first successful attempt at objectively quantifying bias in a range of media outlets and ranking them accordingly.

"I suspected that many media outlets would tilt to the left because surveys have shown that reporters tend to vote more Democrat than Republican," said Tim Groseclose, a UCLA political scientist and the study's lead author. "But I was surprised at just how pronounced the distinctions are."


"Overall, the major media outlets are quite moderate compared to members of Congress, but even so, there is a quantifiable and significant bias in that nearly all of them lean to the left," said co-author Jeffrey Milyo, University of Missouri economist and public policy scholar.

I hope this answers your question.

mutatis, One whopper I forgot to mention, they were all over the Iraq war when we were losing. They still fail to report to the public that things have changed. Why is that???

Reporters are not covering Iraq, because things are going well. Violence is way down, and we are now winning. If things go down hill, you can bet the liberal media will be there to report.

To answer your question, they make themselves Liberal by their choices and biased reporting or lack of sometimes.

They don't report on the war anymore because there is no sensationalism to be found there, at least not as much. They report what they percieve as "exciting" or "entertaining," and positive change in Iraq is not something they think will captiure peoples' attention.

The only person "riding the short bus" is you if you think people are stupid enough as to not figure this out...

I'm calling you out, what do you have to say about it, besides from some silly 5th grader insult? I've seen this so many times on here, there was even a self-described right-wing nutjob on the weather blogs doing the same thing - called him out too, and he was banned. Good luck w/ that!

You know my comment was hateful, and I apologize for that. I do however think your response was equally childish.

I am happy to debate the issues with you at anytime. Sorry..but threatening to ban or calling me out is goofy. Do you really think I am afraid of any of those things. Get real! I am here anytime you want to debate the issues.

Alright, well you keep on dancin' the Texas two-step then, you obviously won't admit to this. I guess if they actually monitor blogs, Fox knows about your little game here by now, but I highly doubt they will ban you. I should contact Chris Higgins about this :p

Farewell and good day, sir.

Go ahead and contact whoever you want! I will continue to speak my mind. I will tell KTVI the same thing, and of course highlight many of the left-wing comments/language as well. I have nothing to hide, and I really do not care!

My only other name that I have created is Dantumis_Tumasit. I am only active on one blogging name at a time. I created Dantumis_Tumasit when this blogging name was gagged, for reasons unclear to me. I was planning to stay on Dantumis_Tumasit, but now the password doesn't work, so I came back here. You should also note, Dantumis_Tumasit is an anagram of Mutatis-Muatndis. Some people figured it out. Anyways, thought I'd clear that up, sense some uninformed people on here seem to have this conspiracy theory that I have created a vast number of screen names in order to better spread my America hating agenda. Sorry, don't have time for that. I barely have time for this.
