It’s sad that you believe the Liberal Media. 99 cents out of every dollar donated to congress goes to the Democrats. It’s obvious they will report only what benefits those they support, the Democrats. America has been brainwashed by TV and Newspapers.
What if the media wasn’t one of the largest contributors to the Democratic Party, do you think they would report the truth

Broadcasting, journalism and other fields. The union’s members work for companies such as AT&T, General Electric and many of the nation’s top newspapers and broadcast stations.

They have some good points and some bad points. If anyone thinks that they are all knowing and only listen to their beliefs, you will never know the whole truth. Listen to your own feelings and your own thoughts. If we follow everything the talk show hosts tell us and the government tells us, we become kool-aid drinkers. Think about it!

I dont believe Shawn and Rush are the only source of information...although I do believe what they put out is well presented, and well backed by factual information anyone with half a brain can research and judge for themselves. However, if you are a partisan hack, you will see them as the enemy...someone to stay away from. People want to listen to someone who sings to their particular choir...not the facts or something that presents a point of view opposite to their own.
It is true the mainstream media does not give the entire story on many issues to the people who watch it. That is their intention. To keep us all hating eachother, and preoccupied with liberal vs. conservative bitching so that their parent companies ( the big corporations who control the media) can profit while we keep at eachothers throats.
Do I agree with everything Shawn and Rush have to say? Not at all. But I do see them presenting a point of view that is OUTSIDE the spoonfed crap you get from the dinosaur media?.... Yes I do...And thats at least SOMETHING new and refreshing...Its always good to hear a point of view other than what is generally accepted as the truth on any given subject and be able to make my OWN choice if I believe it or not. I listen to as many of them as I can; Savage, Niel Bortz, Hannity and Colmes, O'Reilly, Rush, Laura Ingrahm, Ann Coulter, and many more. I will even listen to the Libs point of view because I like to hear EVERY voice possible on any given issue.
It is too bad alot of Americans dont do so as well. Being well informed is the best defense for being taken advantage of by any politician or political hack I can think of.....
Thats my take on it.

i'm undecided if those adult adult males comprehend lots approximately technology. For a greater suited answer, i might circulate with the paintings of scientists that's consistent with information. each substantial scientific society interior the worldwide has observed a assertion like that of the yank Chemical Society which says, ” careful and finished scientific exams have needless to say verified that the Earth’s climate gadget is changing right this moment in line with starting to be atmospheric burdens of greenhouse gases and soaking up aerosol debris. there is amazingly little room for doubt that talked approximately climate traits are by way of human activities. The threats are severe and action is urgently mandatory to mitigate the dangers of climate exchange.”

Your not telling the truth again/.............you only list donations by Labor and left out the largest donors Big Business who gives this cycle 62% republican, How can you debate without truth? does that make you feel good to present a lie..as fact? or do you think that Media companies should not particpate in politics or have a say...only oil or farm industries? big oil donated 85% republican so they can vote, but not media?

conserv
the lobotomy box has done a really good job on most of the posters. no tv news programs give only news, it has to be with a twist of mostly liberal bias. Standby, Muslims are attacking the conservative radio talk show hosts. Not with AK's or bombs, but are pressuring Congress to pass laws stifling freedom of speech. reference..Accuracy in Media, check it out.

a couple of points for you to mull over, skippy...
#1-limbaugh and hannity, along with o'reilly, coulter, buchanan, malkin, hume, savage, gibson, beck...et al...ARE part of 'the media'...they just like to pretend otherwise, in order to prop up this false image of a 'liberal monolith'
#2-limbaugh and hannity, along with the others i mentioned, are NOT journalists...they give OPINION-their own 'spin', along with what passes for 'entertainment' these days. again, they are not journalists...they just like to pretend otherwise
#3-it is the folks who are at the TOP of the media...the owners and managers of the news outlets...who control what is broadcast and printed...check out folks like murdoch and scaife, and you'll see that they are almost uniformly conservative republicans, and spend their 'donor dollars' accordingly...they even finance smear campaigns against democrats out of their own pockets

Didn't you post all of this a while ago????
I still think you are rather ill informed, and you couldn't PAY me to listen to either of those two. Sean Hannity might have some valid point (a few), Rush is nothing but an ignorant windbag!

because Rush and Sean are poorly informed, seeing the world through a very small, self serving lens.....they're entertainers in business to make money...if they thought they could make more money with an ultra liberal line, they would.....but Liberals are less likely to listen to boring opinion radio.
