Nice try Mr. Right Wing Propaganda.

Can you guys call JR in here? At least he made it challenging. :cheeky-sm

Nice try Mr. Right Wing Propaganda.

Im not right wing propaganda anything. Im socially liberal, fiscally conservative, overall libertarian leaning. All im tryin to do is point out the hypocrisy and a lack of balance, fairness and overall objectiveness in much of the traditional media.

I suspect you get most of, if not all of, your news from online sources? I get the vast majority of mine from online aswell. And while ill often gravitate to mediums that offer point of views that i know are in alignment with mine, i usually just like getting a good fix for whats happening in the world.

But for many people, unlike like you and me, who have a disinterest in worldly or opinion news and just want to get a handle on whats going on in the world today by turning on the Evening, Nightly, or World news or evening flipping to the cable news shows are unfortunately missing out on the objectiveness theyre seeking.

Regardless, instead of spending your time showing off your sweet search skills by linking to all sorts of articles reporting the acts of vandalism from CBS, ABC and NBC news affiliates you could have spent 2 minutes reading the article. Or at least the first paragraph:


The broadcast networks complain loudly about real or perceived offenses committed by conservatives (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2010/03/21/abc-s-sawyer-protesters-roaming-dc-increasingly-emotional-yelling-slurs). But when they are faced with violence committed by those they agree with, they downplay (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2011/10/26/networks-spin-violent-occupy-protesters-pushing-back-minimize-rock-t) or even bury such behavior. The silence of the networks regarding the vandalism (http://www.mrc.org/articles/abc-cbs-nbc-ignore-chick-fil-vandalism#) of multiple Chick-fil-A restaurants is only the latest example of destruction committed by the left and ignored by the media.

Your ability to scour the net and find opinions that reinforce your own is uncanny. Your ability to find facts that handedly support your own arguments while ignoring the facts that compromise your stance is second to none. Your lack of tact and ability to criticize others that disagree with you rival only those of an 11th grade girl. You are truly unable to hear or see anything besides your own point of view.

There are many viable ways, and even more opinions, to tackle the problems and issues we're facing today. Including many opposing solutions, both with their own sound reasoning. So while you may be unburdened with the ability to apply consideration to the ideas and opinions that challenge your own, it doesn’t necessarily mean those ideas or opinions are wrong or without judgment.

mlm, I've had the same sig since I signed up on WP and read some pretty funny posts......but this is surely sig worthy. lol.

It was a shot at the author and report itself. Unless you are in fact the one who wrote that garbage.

Ok mmpetert, let me break this down to you.

ABC, CBS, NBC Ignore Chick-fil-A Vandalism Incidents

The broadcast networks buried the three instances of vandalism altogether; not a single mention of vandalism at any of the three Chick-fil-A locations was reported by ABC, CBS, or NBC.

The silence of the networks regarding the vandalism of multiple Chick-fil-A restaurants is only the latest example of destruction committed by the left and ignored by the media.

Blatant lies. Absolutely false. It wasn't ignored, but this asshat has the audacity to claim it was. I did read it unfortunately and it was all hogwash. Nothing from that article had any substance or truth to it. Not a single iota. I mean hell, at least Fox News tells half truths mostly, this guy doesn't even have the common courtesy to do that.

But the networks did not report on Castro’s expression of his opinion


Do what? :laughing- This is about as stupid as it gets. How many TV stations report on a criminals "expression of opinion" right after they've committed a misdemeanor? Sir, I'm with ABC news and I would like to get your expression of opinion on why you decided to drive 45 mph in a 35mph zone? Sir, the world is on standby waiting for your griping response. :laughing-




This fits in with the networks’ narrative to ignore the misdeeds of those they happen to agree with


Again, more babble and bullshit. They reported these deeds even though this author is claiming they didn't.


Not even sure what to tell you man, if you can't see this then I can't help you. I'm not surprised to see articles like the one you posted since it's a long standing practice of ring wing media outlets. (not to say it doesn't happen on the left side of it)

SGBL3VsFlLU

Remember back in 2009 when Fox News printed a add saying how did CNN and other didn't cover the Tea Party Rally? Yeah, they got shit on as well.

Maybe I should bring in Smoot's sig.

You are so vain you think this post is about you.

I haven't said the first thing to you or about you in my reply. I made a flippant remark about right wing propaganda, and you somehow took as it was directed personally to you. Quit being so sensitive. What I did was absolutely positively destroyed that hatchet job on ABC/CBS/NBC and any reasonable person can see that. (and I don't even view those media sites)

If I post a hack job like the one you did, by all means feel free to respond the same way. In fact, I encourage it. Would it have been better if I had posted the "O 'Rly?" owl instead?

My guess is mlm's claim is that it wasn't on the nightly news on any of those broadcasts. To which I'd say...do people still watch the nightly news anyway?

But seriously, either way it was reported by several of the network's owned and operated stations as noted in the links
