Why do liberals and democrats feel so threatened by the conservative media?

Question

Fox News and conservative talk radio makes the liberals and democrats so angry, why? Why are they so opposed to people who think differently than them? Please someone explain why without the usual liberal insults and name calling.

Do you understand that the "old media" has a strong liberal bias?

Answer 1

The leftist media giants of ABC,CBS,NBC and CNN aren't the only big kids on the block anymore. FOX has interceded and has slowed the lefts socialistic agenda. Is FOX news fair and balanced ? YES. Though the analyst that run their own shows are Quite conservative.

The majority of programing other than straight up news on FOX is very right wing. Though they have brought a much needed medium to our culture thus making our news media in America as a whole more fair and balanced.

Answer 2

Racism will constantly divide individuals, besides the indisputable fact this is has eased somewhat over the years, however the divide and hate of the two social gathering equipment has grown particularly. purely watch Fox information and CNBS circulate at it on a on a regular basis foundation, and now the Tea social gathering is entering into spewing their HATE! We as individuals decide for a president each 4 years. And whilst that President is in in place of work we would desire to constantly a minimum of supply him or her a gamble no remember what social gathering they're element of. this is superb to have diffent factors of view, besides the indisputable fact that it style of feels while it is composed of politics there is in basic terms bitterness and resentment on the two facets. Why can no longer the two or 3 events get their heads out of their behinds and quit aggravating approximately what social gathering is going to be elected next! Then perhaps they'd truly help us of a of america prosper!

Answer 3

Because it's all one-sided and 'fair and balanced' in name only

Al they're concerned about is pursuing their own agenda. Everyone in the media biz knows how slanted faux is to the right. The real point is how they inflame their audience - not only their 'enemy' (liberals, left-wingers, greens, libertarians, iraqis, french, germans, british, russians, communists, north koreans, anyone who looks at them funny) but also their target audience, the white middle-class male.

Media has become a very specialist business and it's obvious how conservative media has targetted a specific group of people. The tactics are short-term, but that doesn't matter; they inspire a sense of 'consumer loyalty' which must be followed by friends and family alike. And what better selling motivation than pure hatred?

Some of the insults blown out to the opposition are appalling. But the more insulting, the worse they get, the worse they look altogether - a bunch of greedy opportunists who believe in nothing but power.

Answer 4

They deny that broadcast and almost all other cable outlets have a liberal bias. CNN had moderated but in the weeks leading up to the November elections they abandoned all attempts at impartiality... now they are "All Hillary, All the Time".

Liberals hate and are threatened by FoxNews and conseravtive talk radio because their beliefs and hidden agendas are made up of lies and distorted versions of reality... if people hear the truth the neo-liberals will have to try to defend the indefensible. And like all believers in a cause like neo-liberalism it is almost like a religion, any attempts at getting the truth out are seen as attacks by the left. When they are threatened that the truth may get out they react violently and irrationally.

They also have difficulty differentiating between the editorial content of the channel, some of which is conservative and other a panel of views, and the news content, which is delivered in an unbiased manner and tells the whole story, not just the politically convenient side.

Answer 5

Well, when the biggest liar and philanderer of falsehoods has a media conference which did not include a single representative from the Progressive community.

When our rulers are calling Stations and threatening them to back off on reporting negative stories through their contributors, something is amiss.

It calls attention to whom is saying what and why. He who forms the questions, controls the debate. I've tried to listen to just about every point of view out there--and from pure common sense everyday information I hear a totally different version of issues with a noticeable right wing nutjob slant from the entities you've listed. It's not that their views are biased or opposing, it's that their trying to promote falsehoods and indecision in the community with vigorous vocabulary and evangelic doctrine regardless of the facts. And as you wait for them to allow an opposing commentor or guest--it never appears. And when they do allow the other side to talk---it's an abbreviated statement that is further distorted or the person is cut out of the conversation in favor of the regulars. That's not journalism--it's manipulated rhetorical behavior.

Know the difference.

Answer 6

For the same reasons we feel "threatened" by the Liberals and Democrats. It's foolish really... I understand that there is lobbying and posturing for political and sometimes financial or personal gain, but until we work together as citizens and send a message that our expectation has been raised, both the Liberal and Conservative (and Moderate) Public will just end up with what happens and what works for our Representatives. Continuing to harass and stir a big pot of poop on sites like this just says to them that we will follow what they do or don't do because we have been distracted long enough for them to finish their term, and go to recess.

Answer 7

I watch Fox and CNN and they do cover their stories differently...Fox is more right wing and CNN is more Left wing. It is kinda funny to watch them both cover the same story and the differences in it. I'm not saying one is right or wrong I don't COMPLETELY believe anything I hear on the news I try to find out the truth for myself. But as far as why they get offended, I'm not sure I have had people give me the third degree for watching Fox news....But I don't really think it is anyone's business. And Human nature is to favor the people who believe the way they do.

Answer 8

I find any broadcasting station that tries to manipulate peoples' heads with politiclaly biased commentary as a threat to American Ideals. whether it is liberal or Conservative biased, it is a threat.
because it only takes a little bit of a push to be too far to the extreme fringe of either spectrum.

if the propoganda artists quit spending so much time bickering, then maybe ads for products wouldn't cost so much, and smaller businesses would be able to afford them.
so if they want to do something for their country they would put a lid on the blow-holes, and get to something real important, rather than knuckleheads spewing their own versions of the truth.

Answer 9

Honestly, having a healthy and orderly debate is nearly impossible with conservative media. I have watched Fox News (Bill O'Reilly and others) and heard Mike Savage (and others). It's hardly a debate but more a pissin' contest. The guests are usually grilled like they are on a witness stand accused of murder. I sometimes listen these shows not for the objectivity and great debates but for comedy relief.

Answer 10

Because conserviyive media (if you can find it ) Reports the news where as th eliberal media interpets the by the way if fox is a extension of the GOP what is CNBC ? Keith Obermen should be the key-note speaker at the democratic convention.
