More Proof of Media Bias
While the Mainstream Media is off kissing the collective arses of Hillary and Obama, they continue to smear politicians they DON'T like - aka, conservatives and/or Republicans.

...and the brainless masses drone on, chanting, "The media gives us ALL the news. The media gives us ALL the news..."

The blind leading the blind...

Of coarse the media is bias. We all are bias, just like your bias against democrats and liberals.

I'm not claiming to be an objective new reporting agency, am I?

When I start making that claim, then you can cry foul.

Sure there are.

But that would be a one in a hundred source.

In addition, supposed "media" like Rush Limbaugh & Ann Coulter are KNOWN as blow-hards. It's obvious they're talking heads.

Like Fox News running away with a proven false story about Obama going to an Islamic school, isn't a smear job on a Democrat? Of coarse, in Fox land the steps a reporter takes for objective reporting doesn't apply when something goes against a Democrat.

Oh, and they claim they're "an objective news reporting agency." You know, "Fair and Balanced."

Oh, by the way, it was CNN that found out this was a lie because, guess what, they actually undertook the appropriate means of objective reporting.

I actually remember a while back during Israel's attack on Lebanon when everybody was reporting on the conflict, the costs, regional implications, and how it would be settled. I flipped back and forth between the channels and remembered seeing Fox News ranting on about the dangers of Hezbollah sleeper cells in America which, no doubt, exist, but to focus on something like that at a time when there was a much bigger problem to deal with was fear-mongering and irrational.

I never watch FoxNews.

However, I will challenge you with this: FOX is the ONE news organization that at least gives air to BOTH sides of the political aisle. Example: Hannity & Colmes.


Now... I want you to list for me all of the "equal time for both sides" news programs on the other Mainstream Media conglomerates.

And the other mainstream media outlets were showing pictures of American soldiers, in front of tanks, standing with one foot on dead Iraqis and smiling - only to find out later that the picture was a photo-shopped hoax.

So much for journalistic integrity.
