Thank you. Its nice to hear someone say that "Every news station probably has their own biases even if they're not supposed to." Instead of the whole "Only Faux News leads the gullible masses." If people held a microscope to other news stations, like they do to Fox News, they would see they're almost all the same.

Every news station is biased and presents fake doctored fear mongering news. Some of the few exceptions are the BBC and Christian Science Monitor, and even then you should be careful.

I can back this up with first hand accounts (reputable witnesses) I've listened to, but I'm too tired to type stories right now. I can provide them later if anyone wants.


I can't speak for the Christian Science Monitor since I don't read it and know very little about it, but the BBC? It's bias is legendary.

Fox News is probably the most corrupt of them all, I remember Rick Sanchez talking about Fox talking bad about CNN and Rick pointed out about Fox copy/pasted one of the CNN camera photo shots of the white house.

I agree all New's Media has some rumors and lies mixed in with the truth just like the very internet itself.

I beg to disagree. MSNBC is on par with Fox News, and CNN isn't that far behind. As blindeye said, they're all bad.

Is the same Rick Sanchez who didn't bother to even attempt source two quotes (because in reality he couldn't source them) attributed to Rush Limbaugh before disemminating them, which later turned out to be totally fabirated and then only relunctantly apologized after the damage had been done and Limbaugh had been booted from the group trying to buy the Rams?

And he resides at a network that became a big joke when it fact checked an SNL skit (Thank you Wolf Blitzer, that was hilarious).

I think it's pointless to get into a pissing match about who is more biased because people are generally going to go with the opposing sides network because then at least you can say well, yeah, Fox is baised, but MSNBC is even worse, and feel better that even if your source is baised it not the biggest offender. It's no different than the tard wars in pairing debates. It's always someone else.

Is FOX baised? Yes. Is MSNBC and CNN? Absolutely. I think its best to just leave it at that.

U wanna talk corruption, here is some corruption that raises ethical standards.

I obliged you to read the entire thing, instead of dismissing it because it is unscientific. There is no science there, is simply a look on intimidation, and actions that raise ethical concerns about the scientific community.

The Christian Science Monitor is known for being one of the more impartial news organizations.

I didn't realize that about the BBC. (I honestly haven't followed news for a while. Got fed up with it.)
Could you provide some solid links on the BBC's bias? Blogs tend to say its anti-right, but most of the stuff I find is too emotionally driven.

Most of it come from the dailly mail. Which is an well know that they report Conspiracies theories that are being reported as news. Some of it comes from Israel, who claims its anti Israel for reporting, what Israel does to Palatines people.

I'd bet money all you did is that google search.

With just spending a few seconds glancing at the links I saw several other sources, including:

The Independent
The U.K. Times
The U.K. Telegraph
Several blogs and message boards dedicated to the subject
The Isreali newspaper you mentioned
World Net Daily

And this is just perusing links. I'm not stupid enough to simply rest my case on glancing at links and know full well that many (if not all) of the above are conservative news sources with some of them (especially blogs and message boards) making references to each other in that list and to the daily mail. But if I can pull that much with a brief glance from your own link, then you're not trying very hard.

Talking about news, most news are biased, but this news, is the best.

No, I didn't just do a google search. I go to the those you talked above a lot, and yes all them are conservative news. You think other news sources don't lie about each other? Just a hint when someone of the other side said their bias for telling the truth then by all means the are bias. Also, most people said the BBC is biased are conservative, that can't handle the truth. Did you ever think about that?

Yes they can, as citizens of the United States they have a right to do so. Plus this are average people that just so happen to like Sarah Palin...there is nothing wrong with that.

Try taking a chill pill. Chirping Nate isn't a good way to stay well-liked in this forum. He was simply offering an opinion since all you do is post links half the time.

Nobody knows what sites you visit, and snapping at Nate is a really good way to debate. kruemelmonsteryn0.gif

Besides, you're arguing with a man whose profession is a lawyer. I've said my piece, but really. Snapping at an admin member. Great job. rolleyes.gif

No their is nothing wrong with voting for Sarah Plain. I think it sound like they are brainwashed, and does what Fox News tell to think.
