There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

You hate America, Christians, the government, and Bush. You express it all the time. I hope you do live there again, the sooner the better.

It's the same ol Republican mantra!

"I know two types of law because I know two types of men,
those who are with us and those who are against us."
~ Hermann Goering, 1936

"You are either with us or against us."
~ George W. Bush, November 2001

"God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me, I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
~ G.W. Bush

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." ~ Henry Kissinger


Same old shit different date!

------------------------
"War is a sociological safety valve that cleverly diverts popular hatred for the ruling classes into a happy occasion to mutilate or kill foreign enemies." ~ Ernest Becker

Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day!

Yeah but that is precisely why i am completely SHOCKED when O'reilly rants about the liberal bias in the media. If Fox has more viewrs than CNN and MSNBC COMBINED. Then how can the media possibly be liberally biased? I mean FOX has more than the others combined and it is conservative. So that means that most of the media viewed in the US is conservative.

So basically what Fox should say is " ALL media that isn't conservative, has a liberal bias". That just happens to be the truth.

That'd be great, Adolf!



While viewer/advertiser-driven news is not ideal, it remains the best option.

I don't see what the problem is. Denmark has two government subsidized channels (apart from satellite and cable) freely available to the population, but no government dare interfere with news reporting and programming.

You keep saying it is impossible to guard against exploitation, but it seems it is NOT.

I don't watch O'Reilly. Never have, really.

But yes, it would be accurate to say that "all media that isn't conservative has a liberal bias" wouldn't it?

Yeah so can we lay the myth of "liberal bias" in the media to rest. If FOx is the largest, then it can out-bias any other liberal outlet. yes?
