Well of course people are gonna support somebody, but i didnt see CNN donates $2 on tht list, so therefore u cant say that the Network supports him, but of course some people in the the Network are gonna support him, cuz they're tired of Bush's lies, and inability to double-check facts. So u see the Media does present a Conservative front, and supports the Pres. in whatever he does it seems, instead of questioning the questionable.
Plus when the Pres. can have the News networks from releasing the Prisoner abuse scandal for 3-4 months i wouldnt be suprised if they did support a new canidate.
It comes from the State/Federal records. No opinion involved.But is it Fair and Balanced?
Because it's a list of printed media. As in newspapers.
News sources shouldn't. How do you expect to know if it's truth or just their opinion, then?
Then the media sucks, and it's time to stop giving them money?
And the fact thet every other day it's mentioned in the news tells me they're not as conservative as you believe. Did they mention that hundreds of schools got reopened in Iraq? Sure not, that would make the intervention in Iraq look right.
And last, because fact checking is fun, the Top 25 Media Companies’ Campaign Contributions, 1999-2002. Let's count together, shall we?
Companies with a D majority (let's say more than 55/45): 15
Companies with a R majority: 6
Companies somewhat balanced: 4
Oh, CNN! It's owned by... Time Warner! Which gave... almost 2/3 to Democrats and 1/3 to Republicans. So, surely, in 2000, when Bush wasn't even elected yet, they were protesting against him. Uh huh.

I would ask you the same thing. If you don't have anything intelligent to add to the thread, stop posting in it. And stop flaming, consider this a warning.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
Has he flamed?
Nah, Gau's just on the wrong side of the debate.
fire fire the fairs on fire.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

Calling you a biggot seemed like a flame to me.
Anyway, as for the earlier argument about the bias of newsgroups... I'm sure there's plenty of bias papers and news channels out there, some bias to liberal, some bias to conservative. Overall though, I dont think the news media is particularily one way or the other, just always in support of the President at the time.
At least, until he does something incredibly stupid.
I don't care he called me a bigot, if he has super sarcasm barriers then thats OK. So if he thought what I was saying was serious, he wasn't flaming me: It is a definition.
Yeah, what he said

The only 2 cents I care to add to this conversation is that you should see Roger & Me before any of Moore's other works. You'll understand him a lot better.
I remember when he was on the Daily Show a couple of weeks ago. He totally admits his films are biased. That's why he makes them, to try to prove his point. He did say that it was up to the viewer to decide what was best for themselves though.
