Right now I'm finding it very hard to find good right-wing info such as I can find on here. It seems if I put in something like 'Republican' on the internet or 'right-wing' they give me negative stuff. Also, if I started boycotting TV shows which did not give biased left-wing views I'd (maybe) be left with the weather forcast. Books are the same- I'm finding it hard to get right-wing litterature and magazines are basically imposible (if I try one for my own age I get sex-orientated ones which should be made illegal since the target audience is not allowed to marry/have sex and most of this stuff gives out 'safe sex' messages rather than 'no sex' which is the right way)
Stupid biased information systems- and leave me well alone from the radio. I used to think Radio 4 was a sanctury for people with brains but it's really getting left-wing, brainless (which I mind a lot more than left-wing thought out stuff) info and entertainment.

EVERYONE thinks that the media is biased. Speak to a leftie and they say everything a right wing, murdochite coverup. Speak to a rightie and they say the same in reverse.
Everyone loves to be the underdog, the persecuted but ultimatley vindicated outsider.
BTW, how can you have a non biased right wing media outlet? surely the very fact it has a wing of any sort makes it biased.

This is just stupid. Why on Earth would anyone want to read something merely confirm their own ideals? I say look for the truth instead, whatever it may be. You're just trying to replace liberal bias with conservative bias. That ain't gonna work. Why not try to find a relatively unbiased, balanced news source and then make whatever right-wing conclusions from it that you will? Honestly, if you're just going to look for some retarded conservative news or books, you're no better than one of my sad, sad "friends" who reads those stupid Al Franken books and says Republicans are stupid. Please don't be a conservative version of him. He's really annoying at times.
Looking for information that is either liberal or conservative is horribly wrong. It's like having someone else chew your food for you. Don't let other people do ALL of your thinking. Just look for the solid facts and build up a subjective statement from there.

MO, do you really consider those sites to be unbiased?

No, I consider them to not have bias to the left, which is what the poster asked for. It's rather naive to assume there are sources that don't slant one way or the other.

If you just watch what the media provides you with and don't search out your own info you could be at risk. There is a risk of propeganda from the media which, with no other evidence, you may grow to believe- I mean if all the evidence you've ever read leads to 2+2=5 then who are you to believe any different? God gave us free will.
Personally I think there's a problem when magazines advertised at 11 year olds tell them what 'fingering' means or at 17 year olds tell them which celeb is the most well-enowned and how to get abortions. Personally there is a need to teach a bit more abstinance rather than just so called 'knowledge'

"No, I consider them to not have bias to the left, which is what the poster asked for. It's rather naive to assume there are sources that don't slant one way or the other. " It seems we agree on somthing then. "One of your sites reffered to Bush as 'Duh-be-yah', could you please explain how this is in favour of the republicans" im guessing its a term of endearment uk. One of the sites also sells george bush t-shirts. They are definatley republican sites.

Most right leaning sources aren't a big love fest for Bush these days. Left leaning sites will assert their down right hatred for him, even in doing the things they would applaud if a Demorat had done. Truth is, Bush is the best choice right now but he's by no means all that conservative. I guess it proves that conservatives are more honest. They're not just going to blindly cheerlead for their man and everything he does.

ukbushgirl, can I take it from your name that like myself you are from the UK?
I'm suprised you find a lack of right wing media in the UK. Surely every single newspaper with the possible exeption of the Guardian, The Times, and The Independant are heavily biased to the right. Just look at the "1.6 million set to invade" Daily Express.

You might want to consider a subscription to Reason magazine. It criticizes some views from both the left and right, but it's as close to an balanced source of news as any.

[glow=red,2,300]"Stupid biased information systems-"[/glow] And the descriptions/information about left-wing liberals are in no way discriminatory or prejudiced? Have you taken a good look at this very site and the open bashing of the non-fundimentalist side here? Both sides have their strengths and weaknesses, and I can't say I'm completely right or left, but I do know that there's nothing more tiresome than people whining on BOTH sides about how they are misinterpereted and villainized. Face it, people...as immature as it is, human beings can't resist making fun of views they don't agree with. Few people ever outgrow it, so try not to let it get to you when you see someone speaking ill of your political views, because their is always someone in your own camp speaking ill about theirs. Until we all grow up, that's just the way it is.
