Turning PBS into another propaganda tool

No, what I got was a bunch of cut and pastes of other peoples opinions on Fox News.

But, we'll let that slide for a moment. If I also go and fetch example of various personalities on NPR being rather, shall we say liberal, will that satisfy you that NPR may actually have a liberal slant?

BTW, I agree that fox news is conservative. I have never argued that it wasn't.

No you got facts. You still aren't able to discern the difference. Facts have supporting documentation, the kind NOTED by the Columbia Journalism Review, the kind that they found were absent in the, ... what the hell is the name of that group that Brent Bozo runs?

WTF, McG! CONSERVATIVE!! Many at Fox are full blown liars! As Blatham pointed out, when management issues directives of how the "news" should roll each day, 'conservative' is a bit of a stretch; even for someone like yourself who, as we all know, is dedicated to the truth.

The mere fact that you, Blatham and others can not even admit that NPR has a liberal bias is telling.

Less telling than you might be imagining. I have never listened to it.

As usual you fail to recognize the impact of the main point here.......THE NEWS MEDIA SHOULD NOT HAVE THE POWER TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF A WAR....
It is the responsibility of the President, with the approval of Congress, to wage war, and it is the responsibility of the Defense Dept to conduct the war. Once the decision has been made it is the responsibility of ALL to support the war effort. Anything less is treasonous and it should be recognized as such.

Well you should start. They have some good stuff on there.

I don't recall asking for facts, rather your opinion.

That's pretty stupid, McG! Why would you want opinions over facts? What good would an opinion be about something that would require, say, some type of study to discern?

It seems that YOU may be the one unable to discern the difference. I am aware of the multitudes of commentators and their opinions on Fox News. I asked for YOURS. I asked because I knew what it was already and that you would respond with the typical liberal response spouting the evils of Fox.

So, you've just proven to us that you don't know the difference between a fact and mere opinion. I provided FACTS! Those facts were verifiable, in fact, you could have done the research yourself by watching Sean Hannity coach those nurses towards the "truth".

The step by step process that Media Matters uses to consistently expose those liars at Fox is a matter of the public record.

Yet, you still seem to be immune to understanding that NPR is nothing more than a liberal launch pad for daily news and information. There is nothing wrong with that as it provides a valuable service. Just recognize it for what it really is.

Okay, okay, I submit. I have been overwhelmed by the mountain of supporting documentation that you've provided, McGentrix.

Blatham

I have no idea Blatham why I waste my energy on people with your mindset. You....who have no appreciation for the freedom that others died to give you.

The more compelling our journalism, the angrier the radical right of the Republican Party became.[/color] [or 'become' in the case of McGentix] That's because the one thing they loathe more than liberals is the truth. And the quickest way to be damned by them as liberal is to tell the truth.

This is the point of my story: Ideologues don't want you to go beyond the typical labels of left and right. They embrace a world view that can't be proven wrong because they will admit no evidence to the contrary. They want your reporting to validate their belief system and when it doesn't, God forbid.

JTT:
Kenneth Tomlinson has been making the rounds explaining his point of view. When Bill Moyers asked Kenneth Tomlinson to debate the issues that he had raised, on PBS, in the public view, guess what, Mr Tomlinson declined. So much for having both sides air their views; so much for the new vision for PBS.

JTT, I already know the facts. That's why I wanted your opinion. I wanted to understand how YOU interpreted the facts. Not how someone else has. They are not posting on A2K. JTT is. I wanted to know if you understood what it was you were saying in the post above.

So far you have proven that you do not, but that you allow yourself to be spoonfed your opinions by others.

Look at what you have posted about Fox News and then read the following:
