On the other hand, it’s nice that a member of Fox’s Ministry of
Propoganda will be on the Whitehouse’s payroll officially rather than
simply letting the network do all the drum-beating on its own.

Are you really that cynical, or have you merely been dazed by hanging
out in the Dunderground too long? You disappoint me, Dave! I like to
think of you as being above all of the partisan blather...
|
Are you kidding? Snow’s words are his own--let’s hear his own accounting
for them.
|
It only shows that he is a FREE thinker and not a party hack. You damn him
if he does, and damn him if he doesn’t.
|
I didn’t mean it that way. Snow’s choice to accept the job of Bush
Spokesman, after blasting Bush so poignantly, smacks of hypocrisy unless Snow
cares to retract or explain his earlier remarks.
|
I’ll bet that his statements in context would speak for themselves. The guy is
a conservative, not a synchophant.
| |
Kind of like how Cheney, in 1998, declared high gas prices to be the sign of
a failed Presidency. He either needs to retract or explain that.
|
I’ll explain it-- it’s called “partisan politics”;-)
| |

| |
And do you really believe that FoxNews is a neutral media outlet? Before
answering, please omit references to the so-called “liberal” media sources
like CNN and MSNBC, which are anything but. And NPR certainly doesn’t
count, when you consider the relative sizes of the audiences.
|
ALL media sources are biased. They are comprised of people, who have their
own political views. At least FOX recognizes that it is
conservative-leaning. The others you cited actually believe that they are
impartial. For all of these years. THAT is the real issue. I don’t even
care that CNN, CBS, PBS, etc are left-leaning. THEY need to recognize it
and acknowledge it.
|
CNN and MSNBC are barely even centrist, much less left-leaning, and neither
CBS nor PBS has anything like the 24/7 Bush-friendly media saturation so
gleefully put forth by FoxNews.
Visit Fair.org for a review of just how Conservative-friendly these networks
are, including NPR. Just this morning I heard three back-to-back
Bush-kissing stories on NPR’s All Things Considered, without so much as a
token of dissent. NPR commonly features commentators who are pro-war or
pro-tax-cut or anti-housing-assistance while neglecting to offer a rebuttal
from the Left.
|
In the interests of full disclosure, I must admit (and I’ve stated it in the
past) that I don’t watch TV so I am really only in essence repeating the party
line here. If I had the interest, I would delve into the type of stories these
outlets chose to report, and I’d bet I’d find a pattern, but as it is, the topic
comes in at a tie with watching my fingernails grow in terms of engaging my
intellect (of what little I have), so I’ll happily retract any mud I’ve flung so
far. But I’ll stand by my initial premise-- that impartiality is a canard at
best.
| |
(We should probably pick one part of this thread or the other, rather than
blathering down two roads simultaneously...)
|
“Rather blather”? Wasn’t that CBS News’ tagline for years? >:-D
