Is this another example of bias liberal media?

Went to your first link and found the quote, the exact words. So they did report it.\n\nI've now heard three explanations of what happened. One it was a joke. Two, it was a joke and he messed up his lines, and now it was a statement about Bush.\n\nNow, I can understand how anyone can mess up a prepared speech, but to say you stand behind your statement and then say that its a botched joke about the president....and they know that’s what I was talking about.\n\nYes I know what you were talking about, our troops, you said it plain and simple.\n\nI don't understand why John Kerry just doesn't apologize for the statement, unless he meant it about our troops.

That is not entirely true. Although they tend to be biased in favor of him and support him often when he is wrong, if he does something that even conservatives disagree with, they will occasionally call him on it. Fox news is biased in a conservative direction, however, some media is biased toward a liberal direction. It is hard to be objective in politics, or much else for that matter. I am a Democrat and am suspicious of Fox news, however, I am also suspicious of most other media. Too bad news can't be completely objective. Humans can't always help perceiving things from their own viewpoint.

Once again the right wing asserts as truth something that is not, then acts on that "truth" to bring things more to their way of thinking. They claim that mainstream media is liberal, therefore they need to be blatantly conservative to offset the media bias. They ignore the vast conservative ownership and control of much of the media, ignore the proud tradition of the press being critical of whatever government is in power, and point only to the   majority of reporters as "liberal." Maybe so, but nothing on tv compares remotely to the blatant drumbeat of the GOP talking points on Fox.\nFox so completely contaminates their news with their political bias, that anyone who has the sense to get a broad picture of the issues can only be shocked by Fox's one-sidedness. \nFair and balanced is a claim similar to Bush's of being a uniter. Sure.

What an understatement!  A recent survey asked people in the media to identify themselves politically, and over 80% of media people said they considered themselves liberal.\n\nWhen I was a kid, I thought all the major sources of news (60 Minutes on tv; The New York Times newspaper, etc.) were all fair and balanced because they were established, venerable institutions.  However, now I realize the only fair and balanced source of news is Fox News (Bill O'Reilly, etc.)\n\nThe liberal media says something as if it were fact, and everyone believes them.  For example, they say we're losing the war in Iraq when every military commander says losing the fight on the battleground is impossible.  We can only lose the war in the media.  Elite Al Qaeda members have actually said the same thing!  Writers have already documented intercepted messages from top eschelon of Al Qaeda who flatly state that they have to win over the stupid American public because they can't beat the U.S. military.  You can find one of these quotes in the book on President Bush, "Strategery".\n\nThe liberal media blasts people with the same negative messages until people just assume the news is true.  Voters in Florida were leaning towards the democrats in the last election because the liberal media kept saying that that, due to the bad economy in Florida, voters would choose a Democrat for President.\n\nHowever, more conserative outlets on talk radio and Fox News' Bill O'Reilly pointed out how the Florida economy was actually in great shape.  Finally, the voters realized, "Hey, the economy here IS good.  The press just keeps trying to spin the truth."  Hence, Florida voted for Bush.

do you know what is amazing... conservatives can see though the bias of your site, yet say O'Riley is unbias?\n\nIt's really crazy, if they have enough logic to see through one person's bias, but no enough to see through bias on their own side... O'Riley doesn't even try to hide it... \n\nI mean I can see Franken and Moore are bias... it's blatantly obvious... yet I don't think it's even as obvious as Coulter, Rush, Hannity and O'Riley... oh well, I guess they have the rose colored glasses on...

Without going on some rant I will put it to you logically so wake up and pay attention!. The truth lies somewhere in between Laura's assertion and MSNBC's (NBC's) assertion that they are always or usually in the field. In other words, they are both right some of the time and wrong some of the time, depending on what particular report they want to reference. Now that's a "fair and balanced" assessment ;)

I'd like to know who the Liberal Media are today.  Is it someone like Judith Miller with a direct line to the White House? Or maybe it's the Fox News Channel on cable. Or Tucker Carlson and Chris Matthews on MSNBC.\n\nThe Liberal Media is a myth these days.  If it weren't for the New York Times, who have employed for many years persons of all political bent, including notable Conservative William Safire, and the above mentioned mouthpiece for the sitting President, we wouldn't ever know anything that the Executive Branch didn't want us to know.\n\nAdmittedly, much of the media we experience with national exposure are no longer impartial reporters of the news, and a survey of them would almost certainly favor the Conservative viewpoint. \n\nYou see where that's gotten us.  Most of what we have belatedly learned about the run up to the war has been from leaks from persons with a lot to lose, not from investigative reporting.\n\nAttila the Hun could own the different forms of media as far as I'm concerned, so long as the reporters and their managers were not constrained by the owner. \n\nHowever, that does not appear to be the case with owner Rupert Murdock, a foreigner, whose media holding seem only to present a Conservative viewpoint, with an occasional Liberal lamb decoy. I am very uneasy with this.

Liberals do argue that there is a conservative bias.  It's just that Republicans win out on listenership with talk radio and viewership on cable news.  If you listen to the liberal politicians, especially at fundraisers, then you will hear about a conservative bias.  \n\nThat being said, I find newspapers, outside of editorials which are slanted (as they should be), tend to be more objective than anything else you find.  Their job is to question government and the Republicans are in charge, so they are questioned right now.  If a Democrat was in office, I would expect to hear the same level of criticism from the media as I do now.

This site seems to be fair, critisizing both the local (Democrat) & federal (Republican) government.  It also helps dispell some myths.

you bring up a very good point. thanks to years and years of deliberate misinformation and demonization of liberals by the right-wing media, most of what republicans believe about liberals bears little resemblance to reality. they believe a bunch of myths and stereotypes that are repeated over and over until in the conservative mind they become "fact" - i.e. there's a liberal bias in the mainstream media, liberal bogeymen want to come and take away all your guns, republicans are more fiscally conservative (see current administration), liberals are anti-family, liberals don't support the troops, liberals are pro-abortion, liberals are elitist snobs, liberals in reality hate america, and as stated in the post before mine, liberals have no ideas... etc., etc., etc...\nWHY do they choose to believe silly myths and hateful stereotypes? because they're easily manipulated & have an innate need for some "other" that they can feel superior to.

One would have to be a hardcore communist to think that those news media organizations you listed above have a conservative bent.\n\nThey are very much liberal.

They're mimicking the "fallacious logic" rhetoric technique conservative pundits use during their TV, book, and radio rants.  It's like a kid using the "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" response to everything you say.  They simply can't answer a question with an ANSWER.  They answer questions by attacking the asker without actually answering the question.\n\nIt's also pretty useless to site sources, because everything that is written about a topic "1st Tier", such as a study, scientifically-conducted opinion poll, or peer-reviewed research paper, generally is instantly written off as "liberal bias".\n\nAnother mistake that is made by liberals and progressives is that they assume everyone already knows the facts when they give their opinions.  Most neo-cons DON'T and assume you are pulling your opinions out of your butt like they do or you are mimicking a pundit like they are.  They can't percieve that anyone could actually look at facts and interpret them in their own way...if they aren't smart enough to do this, how could you be?

The media is owned by liberals and there agenda is to change America into a socialist country, so they only show what would help their cause, The big wigs that own the news media are Democratic liberals, they also own all of the newspaper media so that's why the newspapers are slanted also. So most of the time you can't believe what you see on TV or read in the papers, you have to remember there is probably another side to the story, the side they don't want you to see, and you witnessed this process so be where. Thanks for telling us.

You'll have to forgive the liberal media. They have extremely selective hearing, a side effect of having their heads jammed up their a##es.
