Liberal Media is way more Powerful than Fox News:

Except that those liberal media companies are really not that liberal at all. They are run by right of center or centrist liberals.

I pretty much ignore anything referencing "Liberal".

What is Liberal? Basically Liberal is the "catch all bucket" for anything and every thing Right Wingers don't agree with.

Liberals are those who "color outside the lines" - - - whether one agrees with them or not.

I'll take the diversity bucket over the cloned brainwashed - - any day.

I think FOX shouldn't support any candidates period and for the most part they do. They just report it how it is, I don't think the have much control over who the pundits believe will be best for their country. As long as they don't support a liberal, then it's all ok in their book. Which is why I think FOX is bashing Ron Paul, his foreign policy is more liberal than Obama's

They dislike FOX because of its success…

Is that why Republicans dislike Obama or is that just a really lame argument anywhere?

What success has Obama had?? He's bankrupted the damn country!!!

You're delusional!!

FOX has the highest ratings in news...I just posted it above. Are you going to dispute the facts? Really?

In my book I can never understand far-left liberals, I can't get onto some of their planes of existence. Conservatives are usually more down to earth despite the religious nut jobs. I have more hope for that side of the political realm.

I’m not a Ron Paul supporter but he isn’t more liberal than Obama. It may appear that way but you just have to understand his reasoning. Libertarians are anti-war.

Libertarianism and war are not compatible. One reason why should be obvious: In war, governments commit legalized mass-murder. In modern warfare especially, war is not just waged among voluntary combatants, but kills, maims, and otherwise harms innocent people. Then, of course, wars must be funded through taxes, which are extracted from U.S. citizens by force — a form of legalized theft, as far as libertarians are concerned. And, historically, the U.S. has used conscription — legalized slavery —to force people to fight and die. In addition, an interventionist foreign policy makes civilians targets for retaliation, so governments indirectly cause more violence against their own people when they become involved in other countries’ affairs. Plus, war is always accompanied by many other new restrictions on liberty, many of which are sold as supposedly temporary wartime measures but then never go away.

Yep - - no surprise - - the Clones all gather to the Carnival Barkers.

The independent "bucket brigade" choose diversity.

Yes, clearly the 8 years with our previous president did not assist in bankrupting our country, definitely. In fact, Obama did such a bang up job of bankrupting us that he did it before he even stepped into office!

Eh. Obama's a war-monger he just hides behind technology and, "no boots on the ground." Liberals tend to be anti-war too. Just Obama and Ron Paul hate Israel and Love Iran. That's a very liberal viewpoint to make especially if you are on the republican ticket.

I'm actually a fiscal conservative.

But don't agree with the "down to earth" analogy. I think its more of a set established pattern of rules and belief.

Some times ya gotta "kick the dirt up".

Obama spent more money in his first year than Bush did in 8! and he completely left Iraq vulnerable the man has no place being commander in chief. At least Bush understands and was in the Military. Although his record was pretty sloppy.

The "liberal media". Just another right-wing bogeyman. For the record Republicans have not been conservatives in the last 30 years. They are Neo-cons. Miles apart. Maybe Misoir can elaborate on that.

FAIR makes a good list of the problems with the media as well as identifying the think tanks that are creating the agenda behind much of what you think it news, which in reality, is just propaganda.

What's Wrong With the News?

• Corporate Ownership
  
• Advertiser Influence
  
• Official Agendas
  
• Telecommunications Policy
  
• The PR Industry
  
• Pressure Groups
  
• The Narrow Range of Debate
  
• Censorship
  
• Sensationalism

In addition Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) has identified the top 25 think tanks by media citations, noting that from 2006 to 2007 the number of citations declined 17%.[39] The FAIR report reveals the ideological breakdown of the citations: 37% conservative, 47% centrist, and 16% liberal. Their data show that the most-cited think tank was the Brookings Institution, followed by the Council on Foreign Relations, the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

You guys are bashing conservatives but you don’t know what it is!! BUSH wasn’t a conservative. BUSH was a neo-con and a big government Republican establishment guy…not conservative.

I hate many of the things BUSH did, but that doesn’t change the fact that Obama has spent more money in 3 years than BUSH did in 8!

Thanx for the list

I would say, those are the far left and the far right. Fox Business isn't listed on there. So breaking down the centrists ones I would still say that liberals have the most power as all the major news networks blindly supported Obama in 2008. And now people are saying they don't support conservatives that doesn't mean they are liberal

This is true. Very annoying to have your party hi-jacked.

I'm a 40+ year Goldwater Republican (or I was) - - haven't had the heart yet to "sign off" and re-register as something else.

Arizona has non-affiliated. I'll probably do that.

I still find it interesting that the cost of the war was not listed in Bush's official expenses.

But the cost of recovering from the war is part of Obama's expenses.

Kind of strange accounting. IMO

reply to post by jjf3rd77


Conservatives have nothing.

Fox news is neocon.

Neocon is not conservative. It's taking the name conservative, and lying about it.

I'm sorry but instead of arguing and listing which side has more powerfull biased media outlets you all should be furious that your media is biased at all!
The media is supposed to be neutral for # sake!

And then why do conservatives turn around and attack libertarians and ron Paul? If the established republicans supported ron Paul like rush Limbaugh and hannity they would crush the democrats but they don't. They are too happy being just like the dems so long as they stay in power.
