What hard evidence do you have that liberals control the media?

Question

tweety: Do I have evidence that the media is not lberally biased? Well, for one thing, most of the media outlets in the US are not owned by liberals.

Answer 1

GOD I want to hear the answers to THIS question. There is no REAL evidence. UNLESS you count them actually reporting the news. It's like with the report of BUSH and the "S" word. It's not the fact that he said it that upsets people now. it's the fact that the media reported it. "if that damn liberal media would quit reporting the news then BUSH wouldn't look as bad as he really is". you see this don't you? 7 minutes the question has been asked and not a single answer YET!!!!!!!! Well, i see you never did get an answer to your question.

Answer 2

It is a well documented fact that media with a liberal slant sells. Conservatives finally got a media outlet via talk radio and more recently FOX news.


For you to dismiss this fact only tells me you have no concept of reality. You are so unobjective and slanted by the media that you could not even identify what is biased and what is not.

You want hard evidence. Ask Dan Rather why he no longer works at CBS.

Answer 3

1.The show Cindy Sheehan.

2. Where is all of the news coverage for the train bombing in India? Hundreds killed and wounded but as soon as a little skirmish kicks up in Israel that is all you here about.

3. LA Times, NY Times, Washington Post etc..

4. Consider the contrasting coverage of DeLay with that of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Virtually every detail of alleged DeLay transgressions gets reported and in very great detail. But scant coverage has been given to equally serious allegations against the junior senator from New York.

There have been no front-page stories in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald or any other so-called major daily with respect to serious allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Hillary Clinton and her Senate election campaign committee.

5. Then there's the example of press outlets initially hammering some congressional Republicans for not properly filling out their annual disclosure statements both with congressional authorities and the Federal Election Commission, or FEC. Though the press began to expand coverage, e.g., that Democrats also fail to always fill out forms correctly, there's been no mention of Clinton to speak of involving an ethics complaint filed in the Senate and one still pending at the FEC.

And The list goes on and on....

Answer 4

Ever hear of Katie Couric? Tom Brokaw? Dan Rather? Peter Jennings? Bob Schieffer? George Stephanopoulos ? Mike Wallace? Matt Lauer? Charlie Gibson? BRYANT GUMBEL???

The NY Times? The Boston Globe? The Atlanta Journal-Constitution? The L.A. Times?

MSNBC? NBC? CBS? CNN? CNBC?


Do you have any evidence that liberals DON'T contol the media?

Answer 5

Watch it. They'll never ask a hard question of a Democrat, and give them a complete pass on everything. Look at the recent Democrat that insulted the Indians (people from India). They completely ignore it. If that had been a Republican, it would have been the lead story for a week, or until the guy resigned.

Answer 6

BBC, AP, CNN, New York Times, MSNBC, the list goes on.

All you have to do is read or listen to them with an open mind and you will see that they lean to the left.

This is not to say that they control the media however, as Republicans have Fox and EIB. However, you cannot argue that the media has a majority controlled by the left.

Answer 7

None - nobody does. The Constitution guarantees "freedom of the press" therefore, any opinion of the media being left or right is just that - opinion. But, you can watch the news and see the slants on the stories, and there you go. But it's all opinion.

Answer 8

All you have to do is watch FOX News to have hard evidence that liberals don't control the media.

Answer 9

Any media outlet that is not used for the express purpose of Right-Wing propaganda is "liberal"(wink wink).That's how those weasels work.

Answer 10

Have you ever seen any positive thing that has happened in Iraq on CNN or ABC or read about one in the New York Times?

I didn't think so.
