[quote=nemesis;173477]Your argument falls apart from the start. I do not believe that most news agencies are conservatives. What I do believe is that most political pundits are conservative but most of them are on Fox and that is what causes the conservative inbalance. In fact Fox has more media personalities (as opposed to simply state the facts reporters) in general and since all but one is conservative it causes the inbalance
But I don't consider any other station bias except PBS which seems to have a liberal bias although I don't consider all the shows on there bias. MSNBC despite the liberal claims has about the same number of liberals and conservatives or at least used to as I've heard Tucker Carlson was fired or something.
My above explains that that is not the case. PBS does have some liberal bias with shows such as Bill Moyers and NOW and no conservative counterparts. The same cannot be said about CNN or MSNBC though.
Well that's because I've actually heard the arguments for liberal bias, including on this forum and it's ridiculous. One individual for instance stated that MSNBC was basically admitting their liberal bias because one unknown reporter at MSNBC said it is difficult to be objective about Barack Obama. One nobody reporter makes a claim that he has problems objectively talking about one Democrat and he treats it as an admission by MSNBC itself. Not to mention two other posters agreed with him.

wow are a member of Demundergound? how about daily kost? like the nation? but there is no liberal bias in the MSM [/QUOTE
This is exactly what I'm talking about. The Demunderground and the Daily Kost are internet based organizations. That isn't mainstream. What do the major media outlets have to do with internet communities? As a matter of fact only liberals and Democrats are allowed in those communities and even if they weren't only those kind of individuals would actually go. If I could find more conservative websites in an hour then you could liberal ones would that prove there is conservative bias in the MSM?
You don't even realize that you destroyed your own argument and proved my case by bringing in online communities. If anyone should be laughing it's me. Who else do you consider to be part of the MSM Myspace? Are we going to start considering think tanks as part of the MSM too?

every major story this election season broke on a blog, or on the internet based political web sites
every one of them was talked about atnauseum before the MSM referred to it, and btw since you seem to have a reading comp problem i didnt ever in my post refer to any of the sites you dont say you are affiliated with as MSM , i asked if you were a member of those organizations since you are blind to the MSM being liberally biased, those sites also believe in that tom foolery
but nice try and slamming me for something i didnt say that is better than actually addressing what i said
i rest my case
