1) Not as bad as once thought =/= Everything is awesome!
2) So from your statement I can conclude that Time Magazine is not part of the "leftist media," seeing as they ran the report you are linking to? |

Duh. Did you really think the left would intentionally blow up an oil rig and intentionally cause an ecological disaster in order to get rid of oil use when they have the media under their thumb to make it seem way worse than it actually is? WAKE UP

Actually this article isn't from the currently known members of JournOlist... But, maybe this reporter IS a member?...
I now consider that with every story I read...
Here are the known TIME JournOlist members
which I have already posted.
Joe Klein - TIME
Michael Scherer - TIME

Answer the question: Is TIME part of the "Leftist media," seeing as they posted this piece?

Should I put my hand on the Bible sitting next to me first?...
Come on Whale, you rarely ever answer any of my questions, and yet often bust out with an "ANSWER THE QUESTION"...
Tell you what. "YOU WANT THE TRUTH>>>"
(I don't think you can handle the truth).
but, anyway. Media organizations typically aren't as a whole corrupt. Many editors, and writers let their bias into their work, and clearly 400 members of JournOlist couldn't see the obvious problem with colluding about how to best promote their liberal ideals.
Time has many hugely liberal slanted stories... Can they report objectively at times... yes.
Do they usually... No.
The old phrase, "even a blind squirl finds a nut..." comes to mind.
So the truth is, Time typically is a leftist news source, sometimes they have journalistic integrity, other times... not so much.
To blanket ignore them is as rediculus as blanket ignoring fox news.
I don't blanket ignore any news, actually I process it, and think for myself based on the facts I find.
all too often those facts are missing. (like the video of sherrod, which wasn't linked to any of the major media stories talking about the video...)
I looked at the video myself, saw her comments in context and based on her comments... you can guess...

Do more people who work in the media tend to vote Democratic? Yes, it's documented. Do I believe that effects their work ethic on a grand scale? No. No more than having an opinion on Italian food, types of cars they like or music they listen to effects their reporting. People have opinions and biases: Yes. People can check them at the door when at work: Yes. Imagine that. Edited by agentwhale007 - 29 July 2010 at 1:19pm |

Except the proof says otherwise...
"JournoList was in fact a hotbed for left-wing ideologues to collude over how to kill stories that might hurt Obama, smear innocent conservatives as racist, coordinate lines of attack against Palin, and work directly with the Obama campaign, the question becomes:"

Apparently we are going to fill more threads with this debate. The "Proof" is that people involved in media talked about politics in their off time on the Internet in a listserv. To some this is an OMG OUTRAGE. I'm just not one of them. Especially when a lot of then "Proof" is things posted by people who work for alt-publications and blogs who don't claim to be unbiased from the get-go, or the standard accusations of bias from reporters from the far-right that have been going on at Freep for a decade now. Or, like in the last thread, someone on a political campaign - who everyone probably knew was working for a political campaign - who was posting stuff to try and sway reporters. Oh no. The horror.
Yes. I am aware of what Breitbart's site has to say on the matter. They are outraged, as usual. Edited by agentwhale007 - 29 July 2010 at 1:37pm |

No, Reb, it's an OMG OUTRAGE. Didn't you get the fax? You are supposed to be outraged by this. |

Really? The Dan Rather situation? You mean the one where a bunch of people got fired because they didn't properly fact check before moving forward with a story? And the one Dan Rather quit - rightfully - in shame after? But no, yeah, no accountability in the media at all. Except those fired people. Again, you'll never hear me defend this mindset that beating everyone to the story and being first is more important than properly vetting the story. I despise that mindset, as it has traveled from crappy-ass TV news networks to the new Internet age. But, that moronic and destructive mindset is money and fame driven, not politically. Everybody wants to be famous instead of just doing a good job. Edited by agentwhale007 - 29 July 2010 at 1:55pm |
