The Place Where Ludington Talks
Bias in the media
Everyone does it... if your a news organization, you at some point have shown some sort of bias one way or another. Sometimes its pretty obvious... sometimes its not as noticeable. Many liberal types love to say that Fox is totally right wing... I look at Fox as being more willing to show both sides of the story and that a few of their opinion commentators are right leaning. Whenever I ask a Fox hater to show me anything, anything at all showing where Fox has aired anything biased, no one can do it. One person tried and failed. On the other hand, you have something like the NY Times. Last year when the "Climate-gate" story broke regarding emails from climate scientist that were less then good the NY Times refused to print those emails because as they put it, it was stolen information and there standards would not allow them to print that. Fast Forward to the Wikileaks situation.... the NY Times is one of the first to print the leaked info... which of course was also stolen.

Here's the real catch 22 Dave, when you listen to talk radio, it's hard to disagree with a lot of the Fox crew, and, they are here now, have been for years, and will continue into the future. Their programs are popular with the masses, and their books sell out all the time. They entertain, spotlite wrongs, and always give liberals a voice to make their points, even if hollowpoints. Whereas, look at the liberal talk shows, they don't last very long at all, they are not popular, they have no substantiative books that sell, basically, they fall like dead flies off the ceiling. Their arguments and debate are condescending and shallow. Any wonder why the libs hate the successful guys and gals out there?

I've tried to take Fox's old tag line to heart... they report, we decide. Don't believe everything you hear simply because Fox or NBC or anyone else says its true... listen or read their report, question it, research it and if it makes sense in the end, go with it.

I concur totally Dave, good post, and thread too. Too many times though, the Fox guys and gals are right on point, they don't just give opinion, they back it up with fact and statements from the President right on down. Right now, I just hope that wetback dream act is squashed in the Senate, preferably after the recess. Too many are in a big hurry to cram this down our system, and why? Because it is part 1 of a plan they have been after for years to no success.
