How do you know I don’t do this?

Maybe you should be the Know-it-all czar

LOL.

Because, we were talking about the media and you said that you write and call Washington. You did not say that you write and call the media.

Had you been focused and stayed on topic you would have said that you write and call the media.

So yes, of course, I do not know who you actually write and call. I can only comment on what you actually say.

So, how about responding to the rest of the questions?

The hypocrisy of the left is so much fun to watch.

How many stories have you seen over the past few years of animal rights wackos going under cover at some farm and videotaping something?

The drive-by media have no problem reporting on that.

Remember Sara Palin and the turkey? Yeah it wasn’t undercover, but the media had no trouble reporting it, or any other video provided by animal rights wackos.

So college kids with virtually no budgets appear to easily out perform the “mighty” Grey Lady and the rest of the media.

By the way, Gibson is a purported “newsman” and should be on top of major stories in the nation on a daily basis. It is his job, or so I thought.

Or maybe it is his job not to know…

Well, let’s see if we can pick your argument apart . . .

OK.

What did each of the people you mentioned say, or not say, about the ACORN story? That is the topic of this thread. How was the story about ACORN approached, or not approached, by two individuals.

I agree there is a bias. I also understand, that of the people you mentioned in your post, they all have limited time to do their reporting. They cannot report on every single item in the news. Yes, everyone makes editorial choices concerning what they report, or not report, and how they report it.

Hmmm. It wasn’t long ago, perhaps minutes, when the complaint was about the “24 hour news cycle” and how stories were beaten to death. There is no excuse for the liberal media to ignore this while spending prodigious amounts of time on the Joe Wilson story. I mean, seriously: which is more important?

Complaining about what others do, or not do, is non-productive. Having multiple news sources is a good thing. Do you agree?

I would agree if said multiplicity was more than FOX vs. all other media outlets. If anything, it proves the need for FOX. Are two “competing” newspapers filled with the same AP stories actually competitive? I think not.

I daresay that there is far more competition in the health care insurance industry than there is in the media, yet look where the attention if focused.

Maybe you ought to try and call these various media outlets that you have an issue with

My hope is that you use this BLOG to get news that you would not get any where else, as I do. My thoughts are that this is more than a place just to give opinions.

Yes, I have seen honest reporting on the recent march on Wash, DC.

It is a good thing that you write and call Washington when you disagree, but the question we are discussing at this moment is the media. Maybe you ought to try and call these various media outlets that you have an issue with. Conflation is even less productive than complaining about what others are not doing.

Yep, everyone has limited time. But, the real question is why do you watch them if you disagree with what they present and how they present it? And, why do you expect them to cover what you want?

MM makes my point everyday. She does not cover every story, nor could she. She is just one person.

Has MM BLOGGED about the Philly fan who caught the foul ball and whose daughter threw the ball back? It was cute and adorable. An extremely delightful story. Not every story gets covered by everyone.

I see the big picture and understand there is a bias. That is why I seek multiple news sources. Maybe you ought to stop watching the people you mentioned.

With such hard hitting questions as “what magazines and papers do you read?”

Chap:
How about the softballs lofted to anyone with a (D) behind their name — all made while lovingly staring at and drooling over the person being interviewed?

For example…

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

Have you chosen a dog for the kids?

And leaving out the hard-hitting ones such as…

Yes, Mr. Ayers bombed the Pentagon when you were 8 years old, but he has stated he wished he had done more, you went to his home just last year and you now give him a pass for his past actions? How old were you when Charles Manson chopped up some people in California, and would you now likewise take his advice?

How come your wife got a BIG raise at her job that coincided with a large chunk of $$$ you directed to the hospital where she worked and what role did she play in their patient-dumping scheme?

Complaining about what others do, or not do, is non-productive. Having multiple news sources is a good thing. Do you agree?

And let me add this–No I do not agree that having multiple news sources is a good thing when all of them spew the same liberal talking points and cover for the corruption in our government.

If you want to call this complaining, that’s your choice. I believe that’s why this blog is here, for people to discuss opinions.

The last time I looked I don’t really have control over what these people are doing. I see “tens of thousands” of people march on Washington “complaining” about the healthcare reform bill, the economy and taxes. And I see the corruption in Washington telling us that we are a few disgruntled astroturfers and trying to minimize us. Have you seen any honest reporting by the State Run Media about any of this? I haven’t.

I actively write and call Washington when I disagree. I vote, I try to stay abreast of what’s happening through the internet, etc. I don’t believe that can be construed as non-productive “complaining”.

I agree there is a bias. I also understand, that of the people you mentioned in your post, they all have limited time to do their reporting. They cannot report on every single item in the news. Yes, everyone makes editorial choices concerning what they report, or not report, and how they report it.

Limited time to do reporting? Why not explain then how we continue to get “news” stories on Michelle O’s sleeveless tops, Michelle My Belle’s victory garden, and other tripe like that. I believe you just made my point. You said “Not making excuses, but not everything can be covered by a single person or entity.” I provided a list of major news anchors who had not covered a single story on Acorn.

And to answer your questions about what did these people said about Acorn, they didn’t say anything about it. That’s the point. They ignored it. They chose to not cover it. You said “Not making excuses, but not everything can be covered by a single person or entity.” Couldn’t at least one of the people have covered one story on this issue? Just one person?

You admit there is bias but don’t see the big picture of an industry that is so corrupt and so in the tank for the liberal side of politics?

Amazing.

How ’bout we look at Katie Couric with her gotcha interview of Sarah Palin. She wasn’t interested in a fair interview. She wanted to prove Palin was stupid.

Ain’t that the truth! You think she would be smart enough to prescreen the questions like Obama, so she could look like a HLR editor…

Yes. But therein lies the rub. We don’t have multiple news sources.

Having multiple news sources is a good thing. Do you agree?

It is necessary, evidently.
