The Battle Against Liberal Bias

[Foamy Dog]

This board is part of our battle against the liberal bias that has infiltrated the major media, our schools and beyond in an attempt to brainwash the nation.

Sound extreme? Far fetched? Well, it's all true and people are beginning to realize just how far the liberal propaganda machine has reached. We are going to offer examples of, and commentary about, liberal efforts to brainwash America and to produce a nation of liberal [glow=red,2,300]"Zombies."[/glow]

Why do I use the word "Zombies?" Simply put, there is an effort to squash the notion that people can think for themselves. The media knows that people come to them for facts and have taken advantage of this by slanting the facts further and further to the left.

So is Foamy Dog Magazine going to slant to the right to counteract the liberal propaganda? FDM is an openly Conservative publication; however, we don't believe in BS. We will expose the truth, we write from a Conservative viewpoint, but we will not attempt to tell you how to think. We encourage you to think for yourself, to research the facts for yourself, and to trust your common sense.

What a crock.  Liberal media?  Conservatives only think there's a liberal media because the 'whore' reporters who work for the corporate news establishment have been telling their reporters to complain about the 'liberal' bias.

Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Tony Snow, Wolf Blitzer, Rush, George Will, the list is long and ugly.

The viciously conservative pundits of television, radio, and print easily outnumber the liberals 3 to 1, or more.

If you put the moderate conservatives with the liberals, they would still be outnumbered by the rabid far-right.

It's so obvious that it's reached the point of alarm.

Right wing media is turning America into a Neo-Nazi paradise.

Hmm, and who says the media isn't biased?  Give me a break.  The big three networks have been shoveling their own agenda down our throats for so long alternatives formed just like free enterprise predicted.  So now, we have choices.  You listed all the alternatives to the mainstream media.  Conservatives wouldn't have a problem if the mainstream media would just come out and admit their bias.

Serf, you took the words right out of my mouth!  ;D

Mmmm... for God's sake get a meaningful life. The US media is a "non event". It is controlled by corps and has to be the most inhibted media in the Western world.

So much for all these values of "freedom", "patriotism" and "high moral standards"... just utter crap that is old as the hills.

Another "Commander-In-Chief" whose memory will last longer than that Texas Coyboy said...

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.

And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

Kinda shows who naive some folks are. If you think the US media is worth a damn - see a shrink...

Listener, I think you've watched "Gladiator" one too many times.

J/K. Even if it was said in a movie it still holds alot of impact. Have to do some research to see if it was really said by a real ceaser though. But simpy put...It speaks the truth and we should pay attention. Pres. Bush is doing this with the "War On Terrorism." Don't get me wrong, terrorist need to be stoped. But at the cost of our nation? Come on. We need to spend money here to rais defense and help our needy too.

Funny. Being a liberal, as I see it there is not a liberal bias in the media. As I see it there is a right wing bias (a pro corporate bias if you prefer)

There is liberal bias in the media for sure. Just look at the slant on the news the big three televison stations use every night. As far as print media goes, the newsweeklies, TIME et al, are for sure left leaning. Using a liberal slant meanss that they are goingto have to use emotional appeal to garner attention. Conservatism is pretty boring, it's based on facts. It attacks problems in a rational manner, using individual based solutions. How on earth would they get people to take notice if they didn't tug at the heartstrings of the mass populace? They rely on the masses, the uneducated, the people that don't take time to use their heads in order to define a government solution to any and all problems. When was the last liberal idea you heard that could be described as out of the box thinking?

Fox news is the conservative version of the liberals own CNN. If you want to see liberals and the foolish fear games they try to play - just watch CNN!

It is amazing just how hard they try to play head games to scare the weak minded puppets!

WE WAIT TO SEE HOW MANY GO TO THE NEXT FUNERAL
YOU ARE BEING WATCHED AND THE LAWERS ARE JUST WAITING TO RAKE IN THE CASH.

all TV news media can be ignored. I understand that people want to have a pulpit for expressing their views, but how can i take CNN seriously when they put stories about cats caught in trees between murder and war. If they were really reporting on what was going on they would have no time for "human interest" crap. Fox news is just a sorry excuse for a news station. They completely ignore portions of issues and focus their attention on sensationalised programs like The O'Reilly Factor (sp?) etc.

We all know that any show on TV is just an advertising delivery device. The network execs just want us to keep watching till the next xommercial break. Journalistic integrity has nothing to do with it. In addition, the programs themselves are owned by companies that have a vested interest in how the news is reported and what is reported. The shift in Fox News to the right is just a ploy to grab the current news audience. Since september 11th they have out-done both CNN and MSNBC in ratings. As soon as they realise what is going on they will convert their programing to a more conservative point of view. This doesn't mean that the country is turning conservative, it just means that in order to get ratings the stations must change their programing to target the "war mongering" audience.

I gather most of my news from local news publications, NPR, PBS and the BBC. I am aware that PBS and NPR both recieve money from big corporations, but they are not controlled by the money, merely influenced.

I also don't understand how facts can be slanted. I understand how stats and polls (the staples of comercial media) can be corrupted and innacurate but if NPR tells me that the cut of the double tax on dividens will cost 100 billion and save 65 billion what am i to think. No viewpoint was presented, just a fact that helps me form my own => Bush's tax plan is bad for the country, will not put any more money in my pocket and send our country to war.

All media in america is slanted to the right. I know that flies in the face of common thought but conservative media is becoming more pervasive everyday. Just taking into account the aforementioned conservative shows and hosts and the obvious lack of any real opposing programming should be enough, but, if not, take the fact that Rupert Murdoch has given a huge backing to tony Blair and GW Bush. Could that possibly have anything to do with the fact that nothing is better for ratings than fear and nothing strikes more fear into the hearts of the public than war, or, more on-the-head, the possiblity of domestic ramifications? I don't cliam to believe everything I hear whether it be right or left leaning. However, more people in this country now seem to consider it easier to polarize themselves and simply repeat the rethoric they claim allegience to rather than actually internalizing and rationalizing data thoughtfully. War is good for the media (sensationalism), war is usually good for the economy, and, hopefullly, as the US isn't going to take no war for an answer, war will eventually be good for Iraq and the middle east. Don't count on it though.

Media bias is a very real thing; the networks push the Liberal agenda BS. Why else would you see all the anti-war coverage? Viewers would think there are no pro-Bush rallies, which would be wrong. Look at Dan Rather and how he sucked up to Hussein in that interview, how Rather tried to 'humanize' a mass killer. Yeah, nice guy, Dan. Just don't try to vote against him.
If you want fair and balanced news watch FOX News.
The Conservative radio talk shows flourish because they represent the TRUTH -- Liberals shows, on the other hand, are just plain DULL. The American public wants the truth and are graviating to it. Those who don't have a clue will believe anything spoon-fed by the biased media networks, i.e., ABC, CBS & NBC.

[Bob Benham]

... the *censored* word from my post was 'spoon'.
... spoon-fed.

Just to clarify ...

[Bob Benham]

Gee, I didn't realize the word 'SPOON' was offensive.
Must be a politically incorrect word.

And if the word is still censored, just complete this trilogy: knife, fork and _____.
