What sort of news can I post on here that won't be discredited as "Liberal media"? So far I've tried CBS, CNN, Yahoo news, and seen others post BBC, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and others.. For all of them, people said they won't listen to the "liberal media". Is it only Fox news I can use? Is every other news source in the world Liberal? (no bloggers, or op eds please)
This is a serious question, I'd actually like to find a news source people will read, rather than glance and say "Liberal media!".

I would try putting a little of all the news together.....including the fox news......then form your question......if you use jsut one, then you will be biased one way or another......the ones you have mentioned is a lib leaning news, but then again, though Fox tries to be fair and balanced....they do seem to lean a bit to Conservative.....so, you ask a tough question....jsut try to be unbiased....and get an honest answer, maybe

THIS is the only mass media source that republicans can listen to that does not make them challenge the existing knowledge in there pea sized brain .
BETWEEN working three jobs and slaving away to put food on the table republicans have no energy to absorb any information that does not come straight out of a fox news reporters mouth .
Challenging these over worked and patriotic americans is the worst thing i have seen all day by suggesting they watch the biased news reports of the rest of the world .
YOU know you can not believe a single word from another source .IT would be like someone suggesting the bible is altered and redefined to meet the times and just a few 100 years ago slavery was common among people and followed as a matter of course for christians and the kkk is bad . IT had millions of supporters in the early part of this century .
THESE camillions change there color to whatever fits the emotional needs at the time .IT is or was ok to have slaves and today it is ok to make bombs and support wars and anyone who challeges this is nuts .
THESE people sway with the wind and over time have never stood for anything that did not put money in thier pockets .
HOW dare you suggest and end to the military industrial complex or wars when so many americans work in defense plants making the weapons Israel is going to need to replace after it bombs the terroists .
THIS is america get behind the lie and earn a living the old fashioned way .KILL someone for it .

For me, it depends how the story is covered. Is it factual, or reported with a biased opinion.
I think FOX and The Washington Times are less biased and more fair in their coverage (we get The Washington Post and The Washington Times at home, and the coverage is so different it is amazing).
But people should look at all versions of a news story, knowing that all sources are somewhat biased. Intelligent people should never dismiss any source out of hand as being too liberal or too conservative without actually reading/hearing what it says. Then make your own decision about what is fact.

Yeah, Fox news might work. The problem is the sort of people who become journalists. Most of these folks will tell you, when they start college, that they want "to change how people think."
Of course, this isn't their job. It is the job of journalist to report the facts and let the public decide. Liberals by their very nature don't believe that. They think it's okay to lie; to mis-state the facts; to fail to inform of the other side of the story.
This sort of deliberate lying is well-known down through history. It is called "The end justifies the means."
Examples are recent false photos distributed by Reuters, as described by Rush, only yesterday.
Another example a few years ago main stream media kept saying that the fastest growing group of AIDS/HIV victims were heterosexuals. Several years later, a couple of these sleaze bags admitted it wan't true, and that they knew it wasn't true when they wrote it.
But, they had felt it was okay, because they knew the general public was not willing to spend billions in research to cure homosexuals. So, they thought it was okay to lie about it.
Well, lying a little bit about anything is like being a little pregnant.

I can't speak for everyone, but it seems to me that all news sources (TV, newspaper, internet) are kind of slanted to the left. Not to say that there's always something wrong with that, but when I was in journalism class (a very long time ago) we were taught that you shouldn't let your opinion be known in your articles. Even though the writers don't always specifically state their opinion on the subject, you can kind of figure out what side they're on by reading the article, a news article should state facts all of the facts not just the one's you feel like giving.

It's not the source but the story. We can tell when a story is biased. It just seems to happen more often on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NY Times and LA Times (just to name a few).
