"Time for your deep cavity exam, America!!!! Bwah-ha-ha!! I'm gettin' some fudge!!!" Um, yeah, we kinda got that from the pic. Guess you really don't have me on "ignore" as you claimed earlier, OCD-Booby-Man!

I need more evidence. Post a picture showing the rest of her.

Kerry should have endorsed Edwards, and made sure that guy doesn't get the nomination. I think odds are it's gonna be Hillary and doubt she'll pick Obama as a running mate.

A woman with a fish is like a man with a bicycle. Wait, that's not right...

I'm not sure that'll help him. Talk about the kiss of death.

I've spent as much time as you have, and given as much "basis" for my POV, as you. Get over yourself.

I asked about 5, you replied that you had some kind of position on 3 of them. Are you willing to state even an overview of your basis for any coherent position on a single one? Reporting on Iraq has always been biased. To me the bias has been predominantly anti-war and anti-Bush. And no, I'm not going to go down that endless debate again. More interesting is how reporting has trended recently. Less negative reporting on Iraq, even a hint or two that maybe the surge "is working". Hmmm. Is that because the media is suddenly leaning right? Fat chance. If this is intentionally being done, maybe it's because we are in an election cycle and a Democrat may be elected, and Democrats are NOT talking about immediate withdrawal? No, perish the thought! "Stay the course" was attacked and mocked constantly by the media showing their bias, but if a Democrat states that same message and gets elected on that message, wanna bet the media is much less critical of that theme, and much less negative on the war? There wouldn't be more "feel good" reports about the war, and how the effort is working, would there? The media would never, ever do that, now would they? The media, as a rule, magnifies criticism of and opposition to conservative policies and positions, and is silent (tacitly supporting) or much gentler in criticism of liberal policies and positions. If both sides will do essentially the same thing (rhetoric aside), the media will blast the message when the conservatives are the messengers (or in power), and do the opposite when the tables are turned.

Sorry, that's too simplistic. Just like saying Iraq is "ALL ABOUT OIL". There are multiple factors coming into play, partly related to money (driving the direction of news reporting - what topics to cover). But once a topic is deemed "newsworthy", then other biases come into play. And "THE MAN" is not completely to blame for the first part. WE ARE. If the news were erudite, well-done, and went far beyond sound bites... people would not watch. It's the collective ADD of the American public.

There you go again. The first sentence in and of itself is biased to a conclusion, and that conclusion is what you want reported. End of story. Ditto for any of your scenarios. And no, I'm not going to spend hours writing point by point with you on 3,4,5, or more issues. Is the media biased? Yes. A vast majority of them are left-leaning, and that does manifest itself in reporting. Subtly. Not 100% black and white, but consistently slanted slightly towards the beliefs of reporting the news. In addition, the media are businesses, seeking to maximize profit. They need viewers, so that affects reporting, and introduces bias. Sometimes that bias coincides with the personal political biases of those reporting the news, and sometimes the latter runs counter to it.

TTK has never showed any evidence of putting me on ignore. In fact, his citation above, proves he still doesn't have me there. For months I had him on ignore, told him so, and he refused to respect that. I knew this because I could see his stupid attacks against me via citations from other participants. (if only the "ignore" feature also included citations!) I would be very very pleased if that moron would put me on ignore, respect it (we know he is too OCD and full of himself to do that), and never ever respond to me. Then I could ignore his worthless ass and spray would be a much better place.

I asked what your position on these matters was. What would be a "fair" reporting on these issues in your mind? What we've had? Take a couple of the subject areas I listed above and ANSWER THE QUESTION. Reporting on global warming, Iraq, the primaries, etc, has not been fair. If anything these issues have been biased to your perspective. as for "omissions" in reporting, blame the American public, who is more interested in the minutiae of an OJ trial, Brittney's latest rehab, or the latest crap of the day.

primaries are mostly decided by our two oligarchies, and even if we the people had some sway, well, it's not us folks on the left coast. the battles will be over by the time Washington state has a say, and the candidates "coronated".

actually, I don't dislike you. you seem like a nice guy. and I did make a valid point; you just don't want to entertain it. you complain about bias, because the media doesn't toe your line and interpretation of events. you have drawn a conclusion on certain subjects and expect the media to report that conclusion as fact and not present anything counter to your conclusion. sounds like bias to me.

In other words, once Mattp has decided something is "fact" - incontrovertible and final, nobody can present one shred of evidence, doubt, or commentary to the contrary. If they do, they are "biased". Pssst - sounds like you are the one advocating a bias.

"real information" = biased viewpoint of MattP, TTK, and everyone as far left as Karl Marx.

it's not more stupider it's dumberer. and Bush is the worstestest president ever!!!!!!!!!

you'd have to be the judge of that
