Not the “liberal media” again!

You do know that it is a matter of public record that slightly over 80 percent of American journalists are registered Democrats right?

I’m not sure how relevant that is (if true). I’d imagine it’s the view of the editor and owner that hold sway. Remember, every-single-one of Rupert Murdoch’s 50+ papers supported the war... he also owns Fox News. The right leaning nature of the media (TV, newspapers & radio) in the USA is a fact.
  1. How many left-wing radio stations are there?
  2. How many right-wing radio stations are there?
  3. Is Rush Limbaugh a registered Democrat?


  
   Was it them who hid the WMD from George?

You also know that John Kerry in early 2002 (and Bill Clinton when he was president) are both on record as stating that sooner or later America would have to deal with Saddam and his WoMD. Either way I have said it before I will say it again, that should not have been the reason for going there in the first place.

   Did they invent the story about this picture? Or even this story?

People die in war.

Are you condoning these actions?

   The real question is whether their deaths are in vain,

Wrong. The real question is: where are the WMD?!

   as the media would have us belive, or if our grandchildrens children will actually have a chance at growing up in true peace for the first time in human history because of their sacrifices.

Show me how this “war” has reduced the risk to you or your “grandchildrens children”. The people making the real sacrifice are the Iraqis.

   Of course there are still a lot of countries whose leaders treat their people as cattle rather than humans. I can’t figure out why people think true peace will ever exist with a dictorship.

Is Saudi Arabia a dictatorship? Egypt? Bush supports them both!

   (Of all the crap, as with any politician, coming out of Dubbya’s mouth at least he understands that.)

So why is he funding the Uzbekistan security service (who boil people alive)? Why does he support Saudi Arabia & Israel? What was he doing in Venezuela and Haiti?

Search google for “Venezuela bush coup”…

(...) Its relevant because most printed editorials in my local papers are liberal propaganda. (...) Yup, that is a good source of conservative propaganda. (...) See overall the media is dead center. That is why liberals think it is right wing biased (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
