Media Bias?

[Clintonista]

Interesting watching Republican talking heads whinning about media bias in refering to the LA Times truthfully exposing Arnold's possibly criminal past. Gopring someone is, depending on circumstances, ther Assault or Battery.

Then come the Hitler revelations. Interesting his answer wasn't HE DIDN'T SAY IT. His answer was He didn't RECALL saying it.......now that's lying that makes Bill look like an altar boy.

Contrast that to this:

For the last week it has been impossible to find ANY reference to Any other candidate for CA Gov. besides Arnold. When Fox promos an upcoming story they only shoe Arnold.

So where's the media bias? seems to me it's ALL in the Repbulicans favor.

The only bias that exists in the media is the most appealing story which will attract the most lucrative sponsors. Particular programs may have a bias, but I am a strong critic of anyone who labels the entire information industry as biased towards a particular political viewpoint.

Since the thread I originally posted this on was deleted, here it is again.

The Shorenstn Center, at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, has released a new study by Michael Tomasky, titled "Whispers and Screams: The Partisan Nature of Editorial Pages", that systematically reviews the country?s 4 leading conservative and liberal editorial pages. Tomasky finds that conservative editorial pages are far less willing to criticize a Republican administration than liberal pages are willing to take issue with a Democratic administration.

From the Executive Summary:
This study of the partisan intensity of the nation's agenda-setting liberal and conservative editorial pages finds that while the pages are more or less equally partisan when it comes to supporting or opposing a given presidential administration's policy pronouncements, the conservative pages are more partisan-often far more partisan-with regard to the intensity with which they criticize the other side. Also, the paper finds, conservative editorial pages are far less willing to criticize a Republican administration than liberal pages are willing to take issue with a Democratic administration.

When WLIE was up and running, all we heard from the liberals is how awful it was. Yet, I never heard anyone comment on NPR because apparently, most conservatives could care less about what NPR has to say except that they are using our money to say it. When I do not like thoughts that I do not agree with, I tune it out. For some reason, the liberals are very curious and cannot stay away from conservative thinkers even though they abhor them. Look at the way they listen to every word Rush makes but it is just so they can make cruel comments if he makes a wrong turn. Sad! Sad!

Here is a real example of pro-Bush media censorship that occurred this past week.

The letter below was published in the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Fri. 10-31-03 in a censored and truncated form. The portions that were removed by the Atlanta Journal Constitution are in bold italic.

10.30.2003
GO TO HELL ZELL: David Worley, an Atlanta attorney, is the immediate past Chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia. He has written the following.

AN OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR ZELL MILLER

Senator Zell Miller
257 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Zell,

Saw you on Fox last night endorsing George Bush and trashing the Democratic Party, and just had to write.

You know I have been a lifelong supporter of yours. I wrote my first campaign check to you when I was still in law school, admired you as you fought Herman Talmadge, worked with you on Walter Mondale's presidential campaign, and was never prouder to be a Georgia Democrat than when you gave the keynote address at the National Convention that nominated Bill Clinton.

After all, as Governor you established the HOPE scholarship so that every hardworking Georgia student could go to college, and focused on the "kitchen table" issues that affected working families.

When people called you "Zig-Zag" Zell, and said you had no fixed beliefs, I said your days damning the Civil Rights Act when you ran for Congress in 1964 and your years as Lester Maddox's chief of staff were just a misspent youth. I pointed instead to your political courage in trying to take the Confederate battle emblem off the state flag, even though you bowed to political expediency and backed down from that fight.

Changing the flag may have cost Roy Barnes his job, but he left office with his character intact and his head high for standing for his beliefs regardless of the consequences.

As head of the Georgia Democratic Party I pushed for your appointment to the Senate, and chaired the meeting that put you on the ballot as our nominee. The party supported you as I and thousands of other Georgia Democrats worked to elect you. Together we raised every penny we could to help you and the entire ticket win election.

I didn't hear a single complaint from you during that campaign about the Democratic Party.

I first became worried that you were bending your views to the political winds when you ducked the Democratic Convention that nominated Al Gore. You always had a "scheduling conflict" when asked to appear at his Georgia campaign events. I got a little more concerned when your first major vote in the Senate was to gut labor regulations that would protect injured workers. I did wonder if you'd spent too much time on the Southern Company board and as a Philip Morris consultant when you worked against environmental and health regulations.

I held my tongue when you endorsed President Bush's tax giveaways to the wealthiest Americans, and when you voted against Democratic attempts to spread those tax cuts to the middle class. And just this month you were the only Democrat to favor the Bush plan to gut overtime protections for American workers-a measure that 9 Republican Senators crossed the aisle to vote against.

Now, with the hot political wind blowing from conservative networks, talk radio and corporate boardrooms, when it's become the fashion to bash the Democratic Party, you've joined in, writing a book betraying the people who stood behind every one of your campaigns-not party activists, but hardworking Georgia families. You cast stone after stone at Democrats. Your silly, petty, and often personal attacks remind me of no one more than your old boss, Lester Maddox.

To add insult to injury, you flatter Sonny Perdue, who was elected governor by campaigning on the same symbol of hate you tried to remove from the flag, with an inscription that says Georgia is in good hands. Remember Zell, this is the same Sonny Perdue who proposed a $900 million tax increase on the middle class the first week he was in office. The same Sonny Perdue who is looking to cut off the HOPE scholarship to the B average student in two-thirds of the rural counties in Georgia, meaning they won't go to college-a move that would not only deny many Georgians a better life than thr parents but also tarnish the only legacy you have left.

And now you're kicking off your book tour by endorsing George W. Bush.

I thought a genuine ex-Marine like you would see through the phony flyboy "made for television" carrier stunt, especially now that Bush is blaming the troops for mistakenly bragging about a "mission accomplished."

I thought you would remember that Bush opposed creating a Department of Homeland Security, until Karl Rove and polling told him he could shamelessly use the issue to question the patriotism of Senators like our friend Max Cleland, who, you'll remember, left three limbs on the battlefield in Vietnam

I thought a man who claims to revere FDR like you, prides himself on bng a penny pincher, and says he cares about kitchen table issues would see through Bush's attempt to starve Social Security and Medicare by running up enormous deficits.

I thought the history professor in you would know that Republicans built thr success in the South on appeals to race and that you would speak out as again this year, in Mississippi, Republicans campaign on the Confederate flag while George Bush stands by approving yet silent.

I even thought a man like you, who always rightly talks about how his widowed mother built her own home by hauling stones out of the local river, would insist that the Iraqi people contribute to the rebuilding of thr own country. Instead, you voted last week, at President Bush's insistence, against requiring Iraq to use its oil money to repay any of the $87 billion we're spending on thr country this year alone. I guess teaching W. a corps value of helping those who help themselves wasn't on your book tour.

I do know his corporate friends won't have forgotten what you've done in your few years in the Senate. Zell, you'll excuse me if I don't buy your book. I'll let the corporate directorships you'll soon get fund your retirement. I'm betting you'll hit the trifecta-Philip Morris, Southern Company, and soon Halliburton. And you'll excuse me if I don't follow your advice on my vote for President. I prefer a candidate who did his growing up in Vietnam, like John Kerry, rather than AWOL from the Air National Guard, like your friend George.

You once wrote a country song with a great line: "Every place I've ever been was on my way back home." Looks like you're on you're way back home, Zell, back to the hateful rhetoric of the Lester Maddox days, with frequent well-paid stops along the way in corporate boardrooms. Too bad that's the final legacy you're leaving.

In your finest hour as Governor, you said "You cannot lead with a finger to the wind and an ear to the ground. It is an undignified position." Only now, as you teeter with your hindquarters in the air, do I fully understand how right you were.

Very truly,


David Worley

New York's Daily News quoted Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz as saying that at a recent public meeting he attended in Najaf a resident asked: "What's going to happen to us if George Bush loses the election?" This question made it clear that by giving aid and comfort to Saddam's terrorists the Dems and thr media enablers are beginning to frighten ordinary Iraqis.

(At l the usually liberal NY Daily News reported this token unbiased story.)
