Take The 2004 Media Study !!!

FOX news is advertising this on their website so you know a ton of Repukes will take it. We need to get some Dems to take it by advertising it on our web sites. I put a link to it on oreilly-sucks.com.

2004 Media Bias Study

http://209.128.109.235/20/survey/s.phtml?sn=40&prog=64

Keep this kicked up so everyone can see it.

1. I took it and
also used the comment box to slam the media.
This is what I wrote do you think I was to mean or not mean enough?
Seeing those pictures of Rush, Hannity, and O'liar set me off.:evilgrin:

For me it's more about the owners/editors of the media when it comes to bias and not always the journalists.
The people own the airwaves and the capitalistic media has abused their responsibility to the public they've put profit before people and they are also worming their way into PBS.
A democracy will not stay healthy with the current media we have our only saving grace is the internet and I'm sure the corporate media will do all they can to ruin that also.

2. Interesting survey
They offer you options on how you feel about several prominent newspeople but you're only options are "Entertaining", "Boring", and "Neither". I had to go with Neither on Hannity, O'Lielly, etc., because I find them to be maddening, not boring or entertaining. Why didn't they have an option for "Bogus"??????

4. It is a bad survey...
In the comment section, I pointed out that most of these people were not journalists but commentators or entertainers. There was no question which address the accuracy of the content of information and I watch news to be informed not entertained. I rated their survey "poor" and suggested they go back to the drawing board.

5. Entertaining, boring or neither?
How about good source for information, bad source for information and No real information discernible?

6. That was my comment in the "comments" box: NEWS IS NOT SUPPOSED
TO BE INFOTAINMENT!!!! I rated the survey poor because of the question structure, not because of the ease of taking the poll.

EVEN THE POLLS ARE STUPID.
