Looking for facts regarding our so-called liberal media to refute Repug.

[AndyA]

I have one person in my life who keeps mentioning our "liberal media" that exposes every single tiny little bad thing about the right wing, the Bush Administration, and the GOP, and ignores the left wing's faults, but if it's something wonderful for the Dems, then all they do is talk about it until you're sick of hearing it.

Yes, my jaw dropped too.

I've searched Google, and can't find any one site that would be considered bipartisan or middle of the road, and a respected source with data to refute this silly statement. Anyone know of such a site that I could refer them to for the facts?

I never want to hear this stupid, ridiculous, and incorrect statement come out of their mouth again!

1. eric alterman

from the Nation magazine wrote the definitive book from the leftwing perspective on media bias
www.thenation.com

bernard goldberg wrote the definitive book from the rightwing perspective on media bias
it was called... bias

he wrote another called arrogance

if you look in the nation's archive, you will find some interesting articles

2. fuck his brain into submission

You know he is wrong so toy with the fool. bush and the gop and the right wing provide the "media" with so much negative fucking information that there is no print space or time left to say anything about the party that is not responsible for anything that has happened the past five years.

But to your question: www.mediamatters.org may be of some assistance. Although with right wing scum ignorant anti constitution bastards I wouldn't waste my time. If he wants the conservative point of view splashed in the media tell him to move his fucking ass to Iran.

www.mediamatters.org

It may be a liberal site, but it refutes RW spin with verifiable facts.

Media Matters is hated by conservatives, ergo they are a valid site.

4. That's an old tactic left over from Saint Ronny....

repeat a lie often enough and people start believing it. Eventually it will just become accepted as fact.

Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars reports data that the press were harder on Gore than Bush in 2000.
