Do liberals control the media? (baited question)?

Question

If so, why did they suppress the information about Bill Clinton presiding over the largest rise in the stock markets history while at the same time being the lowest paid president in history?
Are they hiding something? Or are the republicans the ones who are lying?
Check the facts Republican's before defending your party.
It may not really be in your best interests.

Just a simple glance at the stock charts and the IRS records will prove what I say.
IDIOTS--REPUBLICANS--CLUELESS
They can't face the truth!

Look how smartman answers the question by calling me "Moron". Then look at his question. Isn't he just a scared little boy hiding behind his computer? Typical repub mentality.

Answer 1

Liberals don't control the media - I wish!
AnswerMan, I've read several of your answers & I think you
are very intelligent.
I've also seen Sumrtanman's question, crying about
getting threatening email. Judging from his reply here,
if he isn't able to take it, maybe he shouldn't be dishing it out.
Nice work with the links!

Answer 2

I am not a Republican, so I don't need to access your links.

All I need to see that liberals control the media is eyes, ears and a functioning brain.

Try watching the news sometime.

Maybe they covered it up because it would have become obvious that the their wonder boy had nothing to do with large rise in the stock market. He was handed his economy from Ronald Reagan. Took him 8 years to run it onto the ground before turning it over to another Republican.

How about you learn your FACTS?

The media treats Clinton like he was some kind of cultural icon that we should all bow to. Every single news story shows him as an aging saint. gag

Again, turn on your TV sometime.

Answer 3

Of course they control the media. Why would they not report that? Because Clinton is the liberal god. It's not hard to figure out. Facts? From where, those links? I don't think anything called "democraticunderground" would contain any facts. Maybe I should go to the Fox News link and see what they have to say. They would have the facts.Of course, being a liberal you wouldn't believe any of the facts anyway. So, why don't you take your "baited question" and go home.

Answer 4

No and neither do conservatives. Advertising controls more of what we see and read then anything else. I think if you look hard enough you see that most giant corporations who own the media have many varied interests. They want to reach all of us no what our political philosophies may be. They may have one outlet that is pure as white can be and may be broadcasting porn on another cable outlet. The fact is nobody gets away from them and our system is based more on selling us crap we don't need then any political opinions. To simplify money does indeed make the world go round and sure as hell drives the American consumer to buy and then buy some more. They wag the carrot and we follow it wherever they want us to.

Answer 5

NO.
In case u didn't realize it, TV is NOW controlled and manipulated by corporations. Watch the movie, "Corporation's", which has been on one of the cable movie channel's in the last few days. This movie will help everyone get a better picture of what is happening in America.

Clinton was conspiring with corp.'s to help them gain more power in America and through out the world.

there is little or no difference in the two parties. they r both controlled by corps's.

Answer 6

Only CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CNN Headline, all television programs, most major newspapers and movies. You are right, the drive by media is chock full of Republicans. But I guess your little web site manned by some old hippy proves that to be wrong.

Answer 7

Fact: 97% of all media in the USA is owned by one of 5 conglomerates.
Fact: All 5 of these conglomerates ore owned by active members of the Republican Party.

Myth: "Liberal Media"
Truth: There has never in the history of our country been a large media outlet owned or operated by an active member of the Domocratic Party.

Answer 8

I think we need to move the debate about who controls the media. The media is so necessary that we need to seek ways to keep it from being "demonized" by either "side".

Answer 9

I don't think the media is controlled. Rather, the media can gain bigger ratings (translation: $$$) by catering to the liberal mindset.

Answer 10

Hey Moron! The presidents don't care about their salary! They get plenty after it's over. Slick Willy got to keep all his excess campaign money,and 30 million from his library.
