Yeah, duuuhhh, however I would add that some media outlets just pick on whichever party is in office at the current time. It just happened that the country had a republican president AND congress. They didn't help their images much over the last several years so the media isn't entirely to blame.

I wouldn't say that there are double standards - but I would certainly say that all media is bias - in one direction or the other.
Media companies are privately owned. Therefore, they can be influenced by one party or the other. I think if you want balanced information, you need to watch a sampling of all the newstations...as each will present the information according to their party affiliation.

Only if you pay attention.
There are thousands of good stories coming out of Iraq, but you never hear any of them do you?
Does anyone remember the 2000 election when they kept calling Florida for the Democrats even though the Republicans had the lead? They just "knew" that the Dems would win it, so they ignored the facts and numbers and reported what they wanted to be true.

hi Lioness, i tried to discover "objectified" and "objectification" contained in the dictionary and no excitement. properly, i'm not precisely particular I understand your queston, yet imagine i'd have a concept. besides, have you ever heard of the "bell curve"? that is a curve it really is formed like a bell and does a stunning good interest of representing information. As for attractiveness, at one end of the curve we've the least pleasing and at the different end the most. a similar should be authentic for income ... poorest on one part and richest on the different. contained in the midst of the bell we've all the perfect individuals. i imagine what you're putting forward is authentic, yet purely purely a reality of existence. we've the completed spectrum for both genders. As for why adult adult males do not protest ... i wager they don't forget that it really is purely the way issues are and protests are not likely to regulate something. desire this helps!

Depends on which station. Some are viciously biased (i.e. Fox News and MSNBC), while some are have a smaller gap of bias. The same goes with comics, some are more biased (Doonesbury, the thing with the duck) than others.

Of course thier is. I think Bill Hicks said it best:
"This is American Politics okay folks, imagine a couple of sock puppets here.
'Hmmm, I think I like the puppet on the left better.'
'Wait, maybe I like the one on the right better.'
'Heeeeyyyyy... there's only one guy controlling both puppets! Whats going on here?!'"

The media is biased. Some will tell you they are liberal and some will say they are conservative. That's because both exist. Always consider your source and what their motivation is (or where their money comes from).

It is amazing how slanted the news can be. I don't care if the reporters are politically motivated in how and what they report but I do mind when they lie to us and try to convince us they are objective.

Depends where you get your news. On CNN and MSNBC (especially the latter) there is a liberal bias. On Fox News there is a conservative bias.
