As if there was any doubt regarding media bias...

If I keep clicking, will I find one that validates your point?

Interestingly, the fourth used multiple examples within the video to make the case. So it actually works against the point he thought he was making.

They were all from threads you started. Ones where there were one or two quotes from someone and you tried to generalize that into a point.

You didn't screen it very well as the two working links I clicked on contained a video with many quotes and an Onion article (do you know what the Onion is? It isn't meant to be taken seriously).

OK, pick one. let's say No. 3. How did I use that example to say that it proves something about a large group of people?
I'm pretty sure I was criticizing Romney.

I don't need any examples, I am honest so I don't mind admitting that obviously FOX News has a conservative bias and so does the Wall Street Journal. Those are the only two news sources I can think of that maintain a pretense of objectivity ("Fair and Balanced," lol) but in truth lean heavily to the Right.

Now you go. Are you honest enough to admit that all the other sources I named earlier present information with a biased perspective that is a natural and inevitable reflection of the well-documented Liberal sympathies of the vast majority of their reporters and editors?

evidence of conservative bias?

Another media source attempting to carry Obama's water

President Obama recently told the New Republic magazine, "Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time." Today, after some suggested the president's claim might not be true, the New Republic tweeted a picture supposedly proving that Obama has gone skeet shooting:

@tnr: PHOTO: Obama shooting skeet at Camp David. http://whitehouse.gov1.info/camp-david/index.html … (from http://whitehouse.gov )

And here's the picture the magazine pointed to:



The only problem: the picture is a fake, and not hosted on the White House's website.

Within minutes the magazine had deleted the tweet and admitted its mistake:

The New Republic ✔ @tnr

We see it! We see it! Not the White House!
5:32 PM - 29 Jan 13

And then the magazine blamed Twitter for its mistake:

The New Republic ✔ @tnr

OK, everyone. Apologies. Twitter sometimes leads to quick accidents.
5:36 PM - 29 Jan 13

Ok, so TNR was told it made a mistake. But one wonders. When mistake are made regarding liberals, the mistakes almost always were originally favoring a liberal. And when mistakes are made regarding conservatives, just the opposite is true.

Video: No, the father of a Sandy Hook victim wasn’t “heckled” by gun-rights supporters.

Another example of a media "mistake" that was designed to benefit liberals.


“Another day, another deceptively edited video from NBC News,” Jim Treacher quips.
