Members draelyc Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by batotman Oh yeah I already did. AND those sites had ACTUAL EXAMPLES OF NATONAL NEWS STORIES. Come on man, you act like Moveon.org is a national media outlet like CBS, FOX, NBC instead of what it actually is: a crackpot joke website. You already did, huh? Well, let's see: Originally posted by batotman http://www.mediaresearch.org/biasbasics/biasbasics1.asp Media Research Center's entire reason for existence is to "prove" the alleged liberal bias of the media. Hardly exmplary of a reliable source. http://www.newsroom.ucla.edu/page.asp?RelNum=6664A study which was done by people who, according to Wikipedia, had already written extensively (and published) in the service of very conservatively-biased media outlets. Again, that don't look none too good. http://www.gargaro.com/bias.htmlThis is the home page for that site:http://www.gargaro.com/Yeah, tell me that's a reliable news source for intelligent, educated grown ups. It even says "random examples" on the top of her lil' "bias" page -- are you even *thinking* of trying to tell me that's "scientific proof"?You must have the same "understanding" of science that Dubya has. http://newsbusters.org/ "Newsbusters"? HA!I think you've proven my point about the credibility of this accusation of liberal bias. I'm gonna vote you MVP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loghead Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by draelyc Hmm, I thought I was the only one who noticed he did that. Repeatedly. I figured I was the only one who was bothered by the notion of electing someone who admitted he would do whatever he was told to do by people I did *not* elect. My similar suspicion is based on first-hand, life experience: 9 times out of 10, in my experience, when someone has demanded acquiescence on the basis of authority (i.e., "Do as I say because I say so, and don't dare ask me for reasons"), that person has subsequently proven to be grossly incompetent. Competent leaders have and can give logical reasons for their decisions. That's part of what being competent means. {censored}. Part of my post doesn't make sense. So much for editing on the fly.

Members Loghead Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by draelyc Did I misread you? No, I don't think you misread me. I think I jammed thoughts about Bush relying on others to make decisions for him into a analogy for not following and incompetent leader. Never mind. I wonder what the other project I'm working on really looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the metaphor? Yes somehow George Bush is completely incompetant. Just a cowboy from Texas who wasn't fit for Governor or President. Yet at the same time your kind spout off how he is the most evil genius since Hitler. Which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
