Explaining the myth of the liberal media

[Dragonbreathp9d]

I have often confronted people when they have said something about the "Liberal media." Here are a few ways to get them to realize that they are wrong:

1. Ask them where they heard about the "liberal media." They think for a second, then a lighbulb goes off and the reply "From the media"

2.Fox News, period.

3.Murdoch owning a lot of stuff

4.Scarborough, Carlson, Blitzer, Cooper, and others, explaining their background.

5. Radio, with the exception of Air America and the CENTER ALLIGNED NPR

6. Fox News alert type stories

7.In response to "we never see anything good about Iraq" reply "Is there anything good to report?"

8. Hardball the other night

1. why not ask them who OWNS the media

it's those liberal corporations i guess? :sarcasm:

something like 5 corps own 80% of the media. how can there be a true liberal bias?

2. Nearest competitor to Clear Channel's ownership of 1300 stations

has only about 300-400 stations . . . and CC has a LOT of 50000 watt stations . . . and bought George W. Bush's Texas Rangers . . .

3. The media started leaning right in 1980 and has had a full right tilt now

since the early 90s. That's the only reason a Dem president could get impeached for having a girlfriend while the press PROTECTS a Republican president who took us into war on lies and outed a CIA agent to protect his lies.
