WOW!!! Soledad Squashes Mitt's Spokesman (Sununu) Re: Medicare Claims

[whathehell]

122. Correct, but when you understand that virtually ALL cable & network news

including CSPAN, is corporate-owned, and therefor "right leaning, you are on your way to understanding that there is NO truly unbiased

corporate owned news in the nation...It's one of the reasons the Internet is so heavily "prized"

by those seeking corporate-free news.

You say that you think Blitzer and Crowley are "in the middle somewhere"

and that MIGHT be true when if you realize that what's considered the "middle" now,

was "Right" not long ago, and what is "Right" is now ""Fascist to Nazi".

I don't know how old you are, but anyone over the age of forty five or fifty

can tell you how FAR to the Right this country has gone and in not that long a time.

As Libertarian Bill Maher put it: "The Democrats have moved to the Right and

the Right has moved to the Mental Hospital". If you're too young to remember

any president before Clinton, or even Reagan, you may have a hard time realizing what

real Democratic policy looked like.


As to the news, you may "hate cheer leading masked as news", but if you didn't start watching the news

until AFTER the 1980's, it's unlikely you would RECOGNIZE it if you saw it.

I would suggest you research something called The Fairness Doctrine...It was law in this country

from about 1936 until about the middle 1980's during the Reagan Administration.

That was probably the last time you could get reasonably close to "real" or "objective"

news, although as anyone who's been to college or has studied media will know,

there is really no "purely" objective political news because there are no "purely" objective human beings.

We all have biases -- All of us.

MSNBC is something of an exception, and that's only because the station, as a profit-driven entity,

just wanted to tap the "untapped" left-leaning market, but even their anchors aren't permitted

to discuss "everything".
