Isn't the con myth of the "liberal media" the same thing as the neo-nazi myth of the "jew media"?

Question

Liberals, jews, pretty much the same thing.

Over 90% of jews in congress are Democrats or side with Democrats.

87% of jews in America voted for Democrats in the last election

Doesn't it make you sick cons share this same belief as neo-nazis?
============================

HERE ARE SOME NEO-NAZI QUOTES ON THE SO CALLED "LIBERAL/JEWISH MEDIA"


"They all understand, of course, that their Jewish bosses expect a certain slant on the reporting they do. They understand which side their bread is buttered on. They don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. But their liberal bias goes beyond just trying to please the Jewish media bosses who employ them."

"Now, one of the reasons why these media people weren't embarrassed is that many of them belong to a race which is biologically incapable of feeling shame. And the ones who don't belong to that race have trained themselves to think and behave just like their Jewish bosses. That's one of the reasons for the shameless behavior of the controlled media."

"This is why the media folks become hysterical whenever new signs of popular opposition to the government become visible, whether in the form of a terrorist bombing or a group merely wanting to be left alone, like the Branch Davidians or the Montana Freemen. It's why we have a major assault underway on the First and Second Amendments by left-wing academics, who want to limit what we can say and also take away our means to protect our right to say it. It's why any questioning of even the most far-fetched "Holocaust" claims or any comment about the Jewish control of the mass media or any scientific inquiry into racial differences or any public statement which might offend feminists or homosexuals or non-Whites brings such an intolerant, closed-minded, and spiteful response from the liberal/Jewish/media/government sector."

"And we know who the engineers are. They have not engineered this war against our people without revealing their hands. They are, first and foremost, the media bosses and the other leaders of the Jews. The Jews were the prime movers behind the changes in our immigration laws, they were the most powerful backers of all of the so-called civil-rights laws which have destroyed our schools and neighborhoods; and most important, they are the producers and disseminators of the poisonous propaganda of equality and racial mixing coming from Hollywood and New York which keeps our people softened up and unresisting. And the Jews have picked up an army of Gentile camp followers: politicians, preachers and church leaders, feminists and homosexuals, members of the liberal educational establishment."

wallyshields,

Neo-nazi organizations like National Alliance agrees with you.

Reasonable people don't.

Your best friend,

Read the neo-nazi quotes I put up here. They use the terms jews and liberals as if they meant the same thing.

Farly,

I'm intolerant of neo-nazis too. The difference is that neon-nazism/conservatism is based on ideology. Right-wingers on the other hand hate/bash/oppress people based on characteristics people were born into: race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, etc.

Answer 1

The media are biased - to the right! There is no "liberal media" and no sensible way to support such a claim despite constant right wing crying and carping about it. The broadcast media are owned and operated by seven or eight right wing corporations, and funded by right wing corporations' advertising. Cable companies are also generally right wing.

Corporate decisions dictate what we see and hear. Reporters dance to the tune set by their editors, and editors serve at the pleasure of their corporate bosses. The corporations making these decisions are right of center to extreme right wing.

When people complain about "liberal media" they are either repeating right wing propaganda or referring to social moderation. The media show tolerance of minorities and women and gays, and they refuse to support a single state religion or impose narrow views of religious morality on viewers, etc. These decisions are based on seeking good ratings and understanding that this is 2007 not the dark ages. Anyone who calls lack of bigotry, sexism, religious fanaticism and homophobia in the media proof the media are "liberal" is saying that bigotry, sexism, and religious fanaticism are conservative.

Some call news that presents both sides and / or that reports facts which ofter expose right wing lies "liberal," but that means facts and accuracy are liberal. I guess slanting the reporting to favor one side, telling lies, etc. are all conservative traits? That would make FAUX "News" (and too many other media outlets) conservative.

The corporate media are not liberal in ideology at all for all the reasons above. Besides supporting right wing candidates, the media also support completely unfounded right wing political positions like the absurd notion that supply side economics works. The media also strongly opposes unions, national health care, fair (as opposed to "free") trade, etc. All this is because media millionaires like their big tax cuts and don't care about outsourcing jobs. Also, they can afford the best health care, so they don't care about the 50 million who can't.

If anyone has any doubts about the media, think about this. The media featured nonstop support for the impeachment of Bill Clinton for personal indiscretions and trying to hide that embarrassment. The media says almost nothing about impeachment of Bush and Cheney for a massive campaign of war crimes, violations of the US Constitution, voter fraud, working with the oil companies in secret meetings, and many other crimes. The media are NOT liberal. If they were, they'd be doing impeach Bush and Cheney stories as much as they did the Monica BS. Case closed.

Answer 2

As is the case, with most of your questions, this is another red herring.
There are undoubtedly some people on the right who speak of a "liberal controlled media" in the same vein that neo Nazis speak of a Jewish controlled media. However, that is not the majority and I think such people don't think such statements all the way through.

Rather, what most people on the the right means when they say that the media is liberal is that a majority of people in the media do have liberal (i.e. slanting to the left) views and that this affects how they present the news. This is born out by polls that indicate that the vast majority vote and/or contribute funds for a certain party associated with left of centre views that starts with the letter "D".

Now, normally this wouldn't be so much of an issue since one cannot expect people to be bias free, left or right. However, one can expect the people in the media to be professional about their jobs and unfortunately, this has had mixed results. The fact is that their biases have leaked through in a very blatant manner in many cases, affected how things are presented.
Thus, the critism of those on the right of a media dominated by the left (with few major exceptions) is quite warranted.
What is most astounding is that in spite of such obvious-ness, there are those in the media and elsewhere who can't even admit to it!
Then again, I guess that would explain your post here.

Answer 3

The U.S. media are rapidly being monopolized by a dwindling number of parent corporations, all of whom have conservative economic agendas. The media are also critically dependent upon corporations for advertising. As a result, the news almost completely ignores corporate crime, as well as pro-labor and pro-consumer issues. Surveys of journalists show that the majority were personally liberal in the 1980s, but today they are centrists, with more conservatives than liberals on economic issues. However, no study has proven that they give their personal bias to the news. On the other hand, the political spectrum of pundits -- who do engage in noisy editorializing -- leans heavily to the right. The most extreme example of this is talk radio, where liberals are almost nonexistent. The Fairness Doctrine was designed to prevent one-sided bias in the media by requiring broadcasters to air opposing views. It once enjoyed the broad support of both liberals and conservatives. But now that the media have become increasingly owned and controlled by corporations, conservatives defiantly oppose the Fairness Doctrine. This is probably the best proof that the media's bias is conservative, not liberal.

Answer 4

I totally agree. Liberal/Jewish media is a myth.

If people want to understand why there are so many Jews in high powered positions it simply relates to intellectualism being pervasive in the Jewish faith. If all these people making these statements went to college and got a couple of degrees they too could be a journalist.

Answer 5

Are you seriously saying that the media is not liberally biased? That's like me telling you that the sky is actually green, you just don't realize it yet.
Why do all the liberals only attack Fox News then if so many other stations are conservatively biased, as citizenjane claims?

Answer 6

Doesn't you calling conservatives "neo-nazis" put lie to your other question, where you assert that Democrats are the party of tolerance and diversity?

You tolerate no diverse opinions. And when you come across one, you rail in vitriolic and violent imagery. That, my little friend, is hypocrisy. Either you're tolerant, or you're not. This "question" says not.

Answer 7

There is no myth of the liberal media. Liberals like yourself prove it to be true. There is only one media station that leans to the right and a ton that lean to the left. Liberals are upset that even one remains and spend all of their time trying to attack Fox News.

Answer 8

Eerily similar in beliefs.

Answer 9

No lib biased media is rampant!

Answer 10

yes in that they both set up a target for hate and abuse allowing the message of dissent to be lost...old fascist trick
