The ONLY and I repeat ONLY people that claim the press isn't politically biased in the country are fucking liars. You can sometimes give a little wiggle room to idiots, but no one in this forum is that fsking stupid. So liars are all that remains.
fucking and fsking in the same post... how odd. is it bipolar, I mean that would explain a bunch, but I kinda doubt that.The ONLY and I repeat ONLY people that claim the press isn't politically biased in the country are fucking liars.

Haha, peer reviewed.
None of this is relevant. Do you talk to yourself because you like the sound of your own voice?Your argument fundamentally doesn't work as anything other than a mantra to tell yourself that you're correct.
That's really what matters to you, isn't it. You don't feel like a first class citizen anymore, do you? You put in the effort, act the part, and other people are a priority, and worse yet, government seems to side with them.
It's not whether or not things are true or not, it's whether they have you in mind, isn't it?
Seem to be contradicting yourself.Yes, facts have a liberal bias.
He's like the bridge guard in that Monty Python movie.kudos those who are still willing to engage shatty.
That's because it isn't true. You're so arrogant that you think your declarations mean things are the way you say they are.Lol, when he's talking about bias it's what he 'knows' and when he's talking about the cause it's what he 'thinks'. Did you not even notice that you just confirmed exactly what I said about you and information you don't like?
Both of our view would be that the press is biased against conservatives. Period. Explaining that fact would be the next step.He is simply saying that if news appears unfavorable to conservatives it is because the facts are unfavorable to conservatives. Your desperate attempts to turn someone saying the news is biased towards the facts as vindication of your evidence-free claim that it is biased against conservatives shows you're either extremely stupid or extremely immoral.
Do you know of any? Peer review is biased, by the views of the peers doing the reviewing. Of course you agree with that?Let me guess, peer review and academic research are liberally biased so any empirical studies that show you're wrong about media bias are just indicative of more bias against you.
Are you trying to prove me right? If so you're doing an excellent job.

It is definitely infuriating seeing someone post so many incredibly stupid things. You want to fix them because deep down you want to believe that even the worst people can be fixed, can be good. But you're probably right in that it's a waste of time and people like buck and taj are beyond help, they're happy being stupid assholes. It's hard wanting to fix the world and having to accept some people are beyond fixing.No he just plays dumb so liberals can waste their efforts trying to educate the "idiot". He's very good at it.
Ignore feature is a thing. I'm sorry that you are so triggered by reading ideas that you do not agree with.It is definitely infuriating seeing someone post so many incredibly stupid things.

I agree with you about reporting facts but it isn't just about reporting facts that makes bias evident. Its how you report the facts, how you present it and how often you report it. Do you think if a bunch of conservatives were locking down a campus with this nonsense it wouldn't be a bigger story? I have no doubt. Do you?
On the whole, I think the media is pretty accurate with facts. I don't agree with many conservatives who say it is "fake news." I do, however, agree that there's a bias in emphasis of certain facts over others. However, I'm not so sure that the liberal bias theory, which is universally believed by conservatives, is correct. There's plenty in the media that is inconsistent with the liberal bias theory, and very little that is inconsistent with media sensationalism.

What do you think the liberal bias theory is?I'll answer that question in the same way I answered Dixiecrat when he asked if the cop would have pulled the trigger if the guy had been white. The answer is, I do not know, and neither do you.
I will say this, however. Like Dixecrat with the police shootings, you are treating the media's liberal bias as an axiomatic assumption, without considering alternative explanations for what you see. So if you are looking at CNN and seeing that it often looks like an anti-Trump tabloid with obsessive focus on the Russia investigation, then you may decide that this confirms your assumption about the media's liberal bias. Or you may consider an alternative explanation which is based on hard facts. Fact: the media is corporate and shareholder owned. Fact: the media's focus on Trump gaffes and Trump scandals has produced record ratings. TV ratings, newspaper subscriptions, and website "hits" are through the roof.
Several liberals have argued in editorials that the press's obsession with the Russia scandal is distracting people from the terrible things the GOP is doing with healthcare and other policies. They may be right, but the media isn't going to change its focus, not when they're getting these kinds of ratings. Discussion of policy may put viewers and readers to sleep. Scandal sells.

Please PM me if you are in fact a liberal person playing a character designed to make conservatives look bad. It's almost the only plausible explanation at this point.
If you're concerned with honesty why would you not just quote what I really said and what others said? Instead you present this absurd representation to mock me.Says the guy who has spent this whole thread declaring things are the way he says without providing any facts.
Lol. Hypocrite.
This has to be one of the stupidest or most flagrantly dishonest arguments I have ever seen on here. You are basically saying this:
Buckshot: the media is biased against conservatives.
Others: the media is biased towards reporting facts.
Buckshot: so we both agree it's biased!
This is dumb and dumber levels of stupidity, 'so you're saying there's a chance', style.
Or that your arrogance has so deceived you that you think your words equal truth by definition. Instead of trying to understand what I'm saying you just mock and lie about it. You were the one talking about a team mentality but all you seem to want to do is win at an argument.Please PM me if you are in fact a liberal person playing a character designed to make conservatives look bad. It's almost the only plausible explanation at this point.
