Media Bias: Perceived or Real? To what extent, and where?
Think about this for a moment, how would McCarthyism have turned out if Edward Murrow was labeled as just some liberaly biased media type, or worst a communist? I do not think it is hyperbole to compare McCarthy's hunt for communist with the current hunt for liberal bias.

2008 General Election Discussion Thread
Lately, when I hear Republicans I think Kap, SS, etc or when I hear Democrats I think Balta, Jim, Rex and it really puts things in perspective. If it doesn't fit for those guys, then I reject it. I am guessing that most people rejected the Obama waffle mix and probably walked by with some dismay. I believe if Kap was there he would have smirked the I'm going to hell smirk, then voiced some complaint.

2008 General Election Discussion Thread
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 11:21 PM) Yup, pretty classless move there. The big difference though is the organizors stopped it when they found out about it. If this were a Democratric convention and 2 people had set up a booth selling Palin Pork Sausage that depicted cartoon images of her as a pig with snout and all, it would have never been pulled, Kos would have front page diaries about how good the sausage was, Randi Rhodes would pass out from complaingin that the sausage was too opiniated and wanted to push its religion on the rest of us and it would just get chuckled away as 2 vendors trying to make a buck, not something that the party or its organizers condoned. Biased conclusion based on opinion.

Lehman Bros dropping the political cash
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 09:06 AM) As much has been made of big oils money going to the GOP, the silent story for years has been big banking money and influence has gone to the Dems. From what I have read, many in the banking industry have an interest in American - Israeli relations. That may also fuel those donations.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) So, reporters with an agenda is a better alternative? They both suck. The agenda is reporting the news.

Media Bias: Perceived or Real? To what extent, and where?
I agree basically with what you posted. I think there is plenty of separation and most adults understand the difference. It's more manufactured attacks at the media to render them useless. Which is what every politician wants. When the politicians control what you hear and believe, they have won the battle. The GOP is almost there.

When I read the coach's quote I thought, I wish some kid said hey coach, show me how to take it like a man. The adult involvement, albeit indirect, is sickening.

Obama Waffles
QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 08:12 AM) In truth, I'm not particularly bent out of shape over it. It just strikes me as a bad attempt at cleverness that in truth is entirely a racial stereotype cheap shot. Waffling/flip-flopping has not been a particularly vocal charge against Obama the way it has against McCain this time around or Kerry 4 years ago. That being the case, the ONLY legitimate reason behind the parody is to go for the Aunt Jemimah joke. At least these guys know the LCD of their target audience. I find it more interesting that the organizers didn't send them on their way. That can't be good PR.
