Bias in the Media, LOL

[jonesthecurl]

And whoever made that video doesn't know the difference between a "prophet" and a "profit", not "trader" and "traitor", nor "their" and "there", nor where to use an apostrophe, nor when capital letters are appropriate.

"no interest in brains", chuckle...Most zombies would bypass this guy and suck the brains out of an ant in preference.

Yeah, I made sure to include the misspellings in my link, because it really helps "make" the video.

[pimpdave]

I'm not sure if this is bias, or just the only "man-on-the-street" interviews they could get. But this is precisely why I sincerely dislike "man-on-the-street" reporting. Most serious journalists agree with me.

Anyway, it's impossible not to notice the slant in this, not that it means anything, but still, are they intentionally reinforcing stereotypes?

That chicken-eaters are fat?

...no, it's your inflated ego.

Sorry, dave, that was for prowler and his pumping of his punctured models.

Nice backtrack. It was very clear that you were picking a fight with the pimp. Why try to back out now?

I think I know where Popeye's should have gone for more chicken.

Bawk Bawk.

I think he's referring to the fact that they all look like city people. It's only logical that people who live in the city would eat at a city Pop Eyes..

..Some stereotypes are true

You can accept the Bible as evidence or not, it comes down to faith. Personally I think evolution is more likely but saying that there is no evidence is ridiculous. There is a written testimony, this is evidence.

Problem with your criticism is that A. i definitely do believe the Christian Bible
B. If the very few (but yes, growing) number of conservative Christians (mostly adherents of one Dr Morris .. whether they realize it or not) have the correct understanding of Genesis, then why don't Jews and, indeed, most of Christianity so stsrongly disagree with their view? Why on Earth would ANY of the Christian churches ever have coe to accept Evolution (as they have!) if it were merely this poppycock idea designed to take people away from Christianity. Do you seriously think that the leadership and members of all the mainline churches (and a good many not so mainline) are so idiotic as to just say "oh yeah.. gee, if Darwin says it is must be true?"

The FACT is that Evolution only became accepted as a plausible theory after reams of evidence and, yes, millions of scientists analysed and debated the data and evidence. Many of those scientists were and are very strong believers in the Bible.

Missed this earlier. I want to clarify that absolutely believe the Bible and that it is the word of God, but this idea that Genesis means that the Earth was created in 6 revolutions of our earth (which did not even exist at the time, among other issues) is just not true.

That is one of the big issues I have with so-called "Creationists". They wish to paint this as a Christian= the earth is young versus atheist scientists =Evolution.

The truth is far, far more complex.

Why do you claim to believe in the Bible when you don't believe what is written?

This never made sense to me.

What has never made sense to me is why anyone would believe that Genesis is supposed to mean that the Earth was made in 6 revolutions of our Earth. But, there are already threads on this.. both here and within Real University.

Folks like player only care about the humanitarian aspect of Christ. While that is important, it pales in comparison that we, as sovereign individuals, should want to help each other. It is much easier for people like Player to have forced morality by the government, than to run the risk of having people free to choose their own moral convictions. It also makes it easier for those that are poor to not give, when even Christ would be the first to tell you that though you may be poor, you can still share what you have with those that have even less than do you.

Funny, but if you actually paid attention to what I actually say, as opposed to the poppycock you conveniently decide anyone who disagrees with you must believe, you might actually learn something. But go ahead and keep your closed mind, don't bother learning anything new. It might break your glass bubble.

No! That would be communism!

Except for the entire first half of my statement. Christ taught that it is better to teach a man to fish... Meaning that it is better to work for yourself, so as not to burden others needlessly. Your version of this is government mandated, and is an open door for high level political corruptness.

No, actually what it means is that it is far better to teach someone else how to feed themselves and feed them for a lifetime than it is to give them food for one day. If people don't have jobs, it means you have an obligation not to sit there and criticize them, but to see that they have the means to get the skills they need AND to be sure that those skills really are the ones that will be used in today's world, or you have done no good at all.

The government is not mentioned as either a negative or a positive. Christ told us to give to Ceasar that which is Ceasars, meaning that we do need to pay for those services we relegate to the government... whatever they are.

Ya' know, for someone who's trying to stir it, you're not very dextrous with a spoon.
In fact I have a message from an stirring instructor whose class is in two days time. It goes

C U Next Tuesday - Spoon Handling Instruction Time.

Are you paranoid? Nobody's trying to stir anything.

Did you say "an stirring instructor"?

Some people n-n-n-nervously hit the n key whenn they start to get n-n-n-nervous.

I did, didn't I.
But you were trying to provoke an argument between other posters, which in Britain would be called "stirring it". Does the same phrase apply in Canada/U.S.?

In Canada, we stir the shit. Sometimes we stir the pot. And sometimes we stir a big pot of chili so we can eat lots of beans and hot peppers and fart at tea time and laugh at the British when they ask "Wot's that smell? ".

And we actually do pretty well without instructors. Wot?

Following the path of CNN Middle East correspondent Aneesh Raman and producer Kate Albright-Hanna, who both jumped aboard the Obama campaign last year, senior political producer Sasha Johnson this week announced she's leaving the network's Washington bureau to take the Press Secretary slot at the Department of Transportation. She won't be the only media vet in that shop. As The Politico's Michael Calderone noted Monday night in reporting Johnson's move, former Chicago Tribune Washington correspondent Jill Zuckman “already headed to Transportation in February, becoming Director of Public Affairs and assistant to Secretary Ray LaHood.”

Plus, in the past month or so, two other DC journalists accepted administration positions. ABC's long-time Justice Department correspondent, Beverley Lumpkin, who mostly handled radio news, in April joined the very department she covered for so many years, prompting a Washington Post blogger to quip on Tuesday that she's “turning sources into colleagues.” Speaking of the Washington Post, its former science reporter, Rick Weiss, is now advancing Obama policy at the White House Office of Science and Technology.

So far, by my count, at least ten mainstream media journalists have revolved into positions toiling for the Obama campaign, transition or administration. And that doesn't count CNN's Sanjay Gupta, whom the administration courted for Surgeon General; nor long-time NBC News anchor and reporter Jane Pauley who campaigned for Obama last fall in her native Indiana.

... Bias in the media, LOL!

The interesting thing about this is there are some relevant questions that go unanswered. Ones id be most interested in:

How does this compare to other recent presidents?
What percentage of appointments are we talking about here?

While id certainly hazard a guess numbers may be higher for Obama than for Bush and probably farther back a bit, I cant really imagine how to check that out other than to look for a list of all appointments during the two terms. But this all seems a bit hollow without a frame of reference.

[PLAYER57832]

This is a worrisome development. We already have issues with people in the government later "graduating" to work for companies they were in a position to favor (to some extent), now the media, which is supposed to "watch dog" the government (et al) might have a vested interest in playing soft with them?

It could be a good thing, if they are now turning their investigative skills to investigating things within the government, but my cynical side sees a different picture.

Ha ha ha ha! The media is nothing but on the dong of the left! Investigative skills? They only use those when Republicans are in power!
