Ever wonder why all the networks show the same news at the same time day after day. People tend to want to ignore the obvious. It's obvious the media is used to pacify the masses nowadays. Social acceptance as well as being a "positive" person seem to be very important. Interesting Fact Check
i laugh at how liberals love this and conservatives hate it. you are labeling yourselves, all the while unknowingly both political parties work together to keep you in your place. dems/repubs, two parties who amazingly carry forward the same policies no matter which one is in charge, yet you fools take sides as if there is one. stop please
I think if the media truly did have a liberal slant George W. Bush would've never been elected POTUS for 2 terms, the Tea Party would never have gotten any influence, the Koch Brothers would be behind bars, & we would have had a Democrat-majority in both houses of Congress today.
@DontRepYourCity bush was elected twice because there was enough people smart enough to see that kerry was stupid..when bush was in office all the democratic media was raving about how his gas prices are outrageous and that we need a democrat to bring down the gas prices..well the gas prices are way worse than they are now, and i dont see any media going on about that
@BigBluenym Smart enough to see that Kerry was stupid but not smart enough to see Bush was a complete raving idiot?
And fuel prices are artificially low in the US, massively subsidised. War and speculation are what pushed the fuel prices up during the Bush years, and keeps them high today.
if u want INTERNATIONAL CURRENT EVENTS in english, that are some reason ignored by the western media then please visist CHANNELEDKNOWLEDGE:ORG its the news mainstream media ignores..
(Part 1) I think some of you have over-simplified the problem by blaming 'conservatives'. They are the victims also. The mass media serves the interest of the media conglomerates and the corporations and advertisers who fund them. It is fair to say that they have colonised the 'public sphere' and turned it into their playground for monetary gain.
This suits them ideologically as it means we are no longer engaging in a democratic process of participation and interaction in politics/economics but merely tied down by our most basic instincts through sensational and dumbed down tabloid info-tainment. This maintains the status quo and makes them a lot of money. Win win situation for them.
My goodness, everyone iis entitled to their own opinion. Im sorry, some of you dont know your head from your asshole. Conservatives own the media outlets. News is News its mainly about which news you choose to discuss. ive watched all the media channels. Fox news in my opinion is the worst so called truth source on any channel. CNN leans more in between. MSNBC has to work overtime to expose the lies on FOX. The Conservative era of hatred must end.
Anyone with comprehensive knowledge on this subject realises that "the liberal media" is a myth with no backbone, though I am afraid this video is way to short to lay out the fundamental falacies of this assertion. Conservatives apparently have become way too fond of this nonesense to ever accept the reasons why its wrong, as they perceive anything that does not agree with their world view as liberal. That also includes any objective truth that challenges their ideology. Even scientific fact.
@shiningbeans He might have been right about reporters. But editors are generally conservative, as are the corporations that put out the news. When your boss, your boss's boss, and your boss's boss's boss are all of a different opinion than you, you tend to keep your opinions to yourself. The media that was supposedly tilted left perpetuated the lie, for instance, that Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet.

Its simple people...Cnn, Msnbc, and all them are Liberal Left wingers, and Fox news is Conservitive/Right wing leaning. However Fox news does have some democratic/left wing shows such as Jaun Williams...Overall Its clear that the mainstream media is "Mainly" liberal.
@wesleyburgess31 MSNBC is liberal, although Joe Scarborough gets a couple hours every morning (I like him despite disagreeing with him on most things). I'll give you that one. Juan Williams isn't a lefty by any means, although I'll grant that he and Chris Wallace are moderates. I see little if any evidence that CNN is liberal, much less that the networks are.
@ralph489 MSNBC is owned by comcast and GE. GE gave $37,750 to Mitt Romney, $20,400 to Scott Brown, $30,493 to Obama, $11,415 to Sheldon Whithehouse, 10 000 to Joe Beoner. They give to incumbent, no real difference between GOP or Democrat.
A bit similar for Comcast : although they give a bit more to Democrat in senate and republican in the house (total 560k vs 500k), the stronger bias is toward incumbent, not lib's or conservator...
Liberals made this video...No doubt....I'm fucking sick of Liberal bullshit being shoved in my face everytime i turn on my Television.or anyones Propaganda,for that matter,i want the truth.
@FredFan8 so do you watch fox news. the media is corporate. the cable news shows are only concerned about ratings and their big egos no matter what they are saying. If their was a liberal media both democrats and republicans will be both accountable. look at the SOPA story which got no press attention till only wikipedia started their black out and the same with the occupy wall street. If it was liberal would we have stories without corporate influence
More leftists telling us there's nothing to see here....no liberal bias in the mainstream media....in fact, it's all a big right wing conspiracy.....Idiot hardly covers these morons.... Of course there's a liberal bias in the mainstream media! There's a liberal bias in the pop-culture too. First you should define the terms. Look them up in the dictionary. Don't believe these propagandists projecting there own bias onto the right in an attempt to assert the opposite of the truth...What a joke...
Seriously? If you don't think the media is bias as hell in both directions you are just as bad as people that think that it's not bias to the right. I don' t believe in republicans or dems and it's pretty obvious that the news media is bias in both ways depending on the ownership of the news outlet...
Three state secretaries were subordinate to Joseph Goebbels: State Secretary I – Walther Funk (1933 – 1937), II- Otto Dietrich (1937 – 1945) this is what they controlled: The German press..... The foreign press.....All Newspapers and they also railed on about a liberal press, a communist threat and socialism. And , like now,the general public bought the whole bag of shit and begged for more.
Reading the "About" section of the video, I see exactly where the problem is: the same people who can't grasp that corporate media conglomerates are against their best interests, also don't know the meanings of "central tenet," "utilizing systematic model," "massive empirical research," or "subordinated." all they will hear is "elite propoganda" and will hate the "liberal elite" even more! :( when will we start educating our citizens on critically assessing sources? sigh.
@kjv387 Well, they could understand "corporations own the media and they want to make cash, so they are for any laws that could push them to make more cash even if it mean that the news are shitty."
Sadly, you are spot on, but I don't want to fight dirty in the propaganda war, and, in my estimation at least, using 'plain English' and a straightforward tongue isn't going to do diddly-squat on its own. Education *may* indeed be the key, but I have my doubts.
Does anyone know what happened to the New York Times Ombudsmen that came out and admitted that the Times was biased? He went on vacation right after his statement and I don't think we have heard from him since.
@TeifiValley123 In my mind libertarian means liberty, although I have been fooled by the fox news media propaganda into thinking they are fiscally conservative, when military spending makes up more then half the budget, Quickly realized who the real fiscal conservatives are. Screw the establishment media they cater to specific bureaucrats and demonize others that don't carry out their statist agenda
@aaronmoravek Faux News has co-opted the libertarian movement in this country, turning most of them into Republicans who want legalized pot. Actual libertarians don't belive that corporations are people, nor that bribery is free speech.
@83169 I will assume you don't really think that libertarians now watch fox news... I hope you're pointing out that fox has attempted (and failed miserably) to get libertarians to accept their garbage the past 4 years, because it's true. I admit I tuned in to Beck myself when he started out coming from CNN and then I quickly realized it was just a load of crap and he began to compare me with the Limbaugh crowd. I vomited, and turned off the TV. As did any real libertarian.
Military SHOULD be more than half the budget... The federal governments primary job is to protect the borders of The United STATES of America. Too many people, for some reason... think the federal governments primary function is to make their lives easier.
@TeifiValley123 because they were misleading ppl about the reason why they were in Libya in the first place and making it sound like a humanitarian crisis when it was just a rush for Libyan Gold by Western Powers.
@supersmash43 Something funny is on the cards. They definitely didnt 'help' the Libyans because they're nice people. But would a 'liberal' media have painted that picture?
@TeifiValley123 what do you mean by "They definitely didnt 'help' the Libyans because they're nice people". They honestly don't care about Libya's "humanitarian" issues like what the liberal and conservative media want us to believe. They attacked Libya for the profit of a few big oil corporations and that's it. Now they are "helping" the Libyans out by rebuilding a country which they destroyed for some more profit.
@supersmash43 No i know they dont care. The US led NATO force is not a humanitarian one. They do whatever they need to further their interests of power and domination, no matter how grievous the effects are on the population of Libya. Thats a truism, its what NATO has always done. What i mean is , you mentioned the 'liberal' media's coverage was misleading. i'm saying its not liberal at all. I dont know if you were being sarcastic but a free press wouldn't have provided such a whitewash.
Anyone care to link me to some studies which show the media's interest towards wealthy individuals. The video, probably for time reasons, didn't give much examples of such. Otherwise good watch.
@ez2tv3 HAHA yeah. Ryan Seacrest, Larry King, Morgan Pierce, celebrities, the View, CNN, all those are so obviously liberal biased. Only conservative media is Fox News. You've got it so twisted.
@ez2tv3 You are a fucking dumbass, but at least you didn't blame Bush so I will congratulate you with a punch to the ovaries so that you may never have children as retarded as you.
@Nationofhonor You are a hateful, ignorant, evil, violent, homicidal shithead! take your phony ass "congrajulations" and shove them up your chicken-shit chickenhawk thug ass, you hateful violent lying bastard! Mike Malloy is proven right once again on why he, I, and most DECENT people, HATE violent ignorant right wing thug bastards such as your sorry-ass self! have a miserable life, asshole! I'd kick you in your balls, if your sorry chickenhawk punk ass bastard self had any, that is!
@ez2tv3 Thank god you can't produce offspring anymore, it's people like you that make the human genetic line faulty, Good thing there's people like me, who go out and save the world!
They asserted the existence of research showing a conservative bias, then critiqued the methodology of studies purporting to show a liberal bias. They never gave examples of the studies showing conservative bias or gave an example of this bias in action.
@thebluefus he is a harvard graduate that was born in Hawaii to a black and white parents. he accomplished more in 20 years than you will accomplish in your entire lifetime
@Mrinebriation if he was so amazing and all, why does he try so hard to make sure no one know what his grades were at harvard? And that seems a bit obnoxious of you to tell a total stranger on youtube that they will never accomplish as much or more than Obama..
@forevershining1 Harvard law school require a HIGH gpa so we can assume he at the very least got a 3. if you disagree with him on a specific policy and can explain why then people wont call you an idiot, but if you can him a moron then people will point out you are most likely the moron
@Mrinebriation I have 3.4 so higher then 3 doesn't really sound that impressive.. honestly. Well you never gave thebluefus that chance to explain why they thought he was a moron, you immediately insulted them. Like I said, saying that to a total stranger is just silly. If you both took a moment to listen to each other's views instead of insulting him and each other, well, that'd be the solution to a lot of problems in america.
@thebluefus im just saying he was born with a disadvantage economically and racially and he still managed to accomplished much more than you ever or will ever accomplish
and btw the media is not liberal the highest rated cable news station is fox which is conservative
Tv, radio, press, delivery (catv, sat) are increasingly owned by single conglomerates on a global scale. NewsCorp is the biggest with media in S.America, Europe, Australia, Asia. btw a Saudi is 2nd largest shareholder of NewsCo. There's also Comcast & GE, a huge energy, defense, finance, media multinational co. When media is owned like this, they get big bucks from big money. Do you pay them? That's why astroturf Teaparty gets more airtime, even promoted. Look at reported context of OccupyWS.
Back to my point that media conglomerates are profit 1st co. How does media make profit? Who pays them? Therefore, who do they answer to? Big money doesn't pay for commercial spots. No, they pay to control context, narrative under guise of paying for a spot. You have to put it in perspective. If a factual story is reported that big money doesn't like, that media co. will lose money from that entity. And shareholders will be unhappy. Even Dan Rather, Dixie Chicks were punished.
1st most of Media is about money, Period. Liberal Media is a Myth. 2nd, people watching tv for credible info (news) has decreased. Majority (left & right) distrust media. 3rd, the majority of voters listen to radio. This is why radio is 99.99% right wing talk. Many cities like D.C. don't have one single left talk show while shows like Limbaugh is on several strong dials at same time slot thanks to consolidation of media from a bill written by repub congress & signed by Clinton.
Really? Lets see: CNN - Liberal MSNBC - Liberal CBS - Liberal NBC - Liberal ABC - Liberal Huffington Post - Liberal BBC - Liberal Drudge - Conservative Fox News - Conservative To say that "most" of the media leans Conservative means one of two things: You are either stupid or ignorant.
@clankster0000 Really media is more than tv shows its also radio and news papers and in radio their is a lot more conservative media outlets over all their is more libreal media but the conservative media speaks so loud it drawns out the libreal media
@owingawat makes them guilty of rejecting any form of sociopolitical change. Where the media stand politically, left or right, liberal or conservative, is a matter of dispute among the above camps. Most objective studies tend to indicate that the American media is more to the left, however, than the right.
@owingawat While the best definition of “liberal” in the political science sense is “a general adheres to a leftist set of ideologies.”2) While the media is, as you pointed out, approving of the capitalistic system in which they exist and profit, this only indicates that they are conservative in the English language sense; and only so to the degree that not actively participating in the alternative to keeping our current economic system - that is, the complete overthrow of our economic system -
@owingawat Many liberals approve of the fact that America is a democracy and are not trying to change that. Ultimately, there are many things in the world today that conservatives would like to change, while there are many things in the world today that liberals would like to keep the same. For this reason, the best definition for “conservative” in the political science sense is merely “a general adherence to a rightist set of ideologies.”
@owingawat 1) While many people, including a political science professor I once had, often confuse or associate the English language meaning of conservative with the political science meaning, they are not the same. What’s conservative in the English language sense is not necessarily conservative in the political science sense. Many conservatives want to see Row V Wade overturned, while many liberals want to see it kept in place.
@owingawat A better understanding of the terms "right-wing" and "conservative" is that, in the English language sense, conservative means, "disposed towards preserving existing conditions, institutions, etc. or to restore traditional ones, to limit change." In the political science sense, it is best understood to be a synonym for rightist. This invalidates the idea that the media is somehow right-wing or conservative in the political science sense for two reasons:
are you people nuts i wish the media had a conservative mind set its all freaking liberal wake up people fox news is the best unbiased news station ever now opinionated is another story but believe me every one has one
It's good to hear different views in regards to this subject, but I must say I respectfully disagree with Chomsky and Herman. FOX has a conservatively slanted news output, but as for the other broadcast news networks, they seem to me to have a more liberal output. That doesn't necessarily mean they have an "agenda" or mean to distribute propaganda. It's just near impossible to achieve complete impartiality.
@ckendrick17 Right-wing or conservative means "disposed towards preserving existing conditions, institutions, etc. or to restore traditional ones, to limit change." The media does just that, disposed towards our government and corporate america (conditions and institutions) and limit change of the government and the way things are, which are good for profit and the media is profit-oriented.
We are not stupid... the media is a tool of the financial beast hell bent on world domination. Of course it's, not only slanted left, it's soul and goal is leftist control based propaganda. And this video is stupid BS.
"Well, the media is to the right of me- they push back against the notions of forced collectivization, the nationalization of all industry and turning our back on all our allies for no good reason. So the media is conservative...What? Communist?!?! Me? No, no, no- I'm an anarcho-syndicalist- I want everyone to be rich and free and have every right the progressive mind can invent with no responsibilities attached..."
@nowthatsinteresting1 Its good too see another critical thinker on this whole damn site! I agree with what you said, and I think the study of how the media influences geopolitics is very fascinating. I don't know if western politics is really to the right of where it should be though - I think increasing rightism is a natural response to threat from external enemies. And today, we are increasingly threatened even if we don't accept it.
@Ethanaxelrod From most of the world's perspective, the US media is right wing. I think this may be an example of 'the whole world is marching out of step, apart from me'...
@nowthatsinteresting1 First, the central political loci of Europe's population - the situation there being similar to the situation here - is far to the right of its media. That the Guardian, Le Monde, Der Speigel, ect. are to the left of our media does not at all indicate that our media is to the right of those countries' populations.
@nowthatsinteresting1 Second, there is a difference between being anti-American and being left. The media of the Middle East and Latin America, though often strongly anti-American, defend their nations' often decidedly illiberal establishments. Al Jezzera, for example, is not a left leaning news source because it is critical of the US, as it also defends the continued use of Sheria Law by the Saudi Arabian government.
@Ethanaxelrod Thanks for the carefully-reasoned argument - I can tell you have studied European media maybe better than I have studied the US media! My point is that Americans often tell me that such and such person is 'far left' - but in European terms they just aren't - they are something to the right of Ghengis Khan. I think that the western political system has lodged itself to the right of where is could be -and should be, to allow all of us normal, non-super rich, people an equal chance.
@Ethanaxelrod Right-wing or conservative means "disposed towards preserving existing conditions, institutions, etc. or to restore traditional ones, to limit change." The media does just that, disposed towards our government and corporate america (conditions and institutions) and limit change of the government and the way things are, which are good for profit and the media is profit-oriented.
Most of the Japanese media never report or broadcast anything unfavorable or inconvenient for Korea and Koreans, because they are practically taken over by Koreans. That explains why recently FUJI TV inserted a racial slur "JAP18"(= Korean slang meaning "Fucking Japanese !") in its own TV drama(It turned out that an ethnic Korean assistant director was responsible). Also, Japanese never report or broadcast anything good about Taiwan and Taiwanese, because they are afraid of China.
Why would I want to live in the Third World, I hate the fact that my country is being turned into one. Unions, environmentalists- oh yeah they've had SUCH influence over our policies especially in the past 30 years LOL. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act? That was not leftist, the Glass-Steagall Act itself is closer to being leftist. Your problem is that you see Democrats, especially moderate ones, and you think "leftists!" Today's Democrats are Republicans from 20 years ago.
Given that what we see is income inequality comparable to third world banana republics with the rich owning more and more, with corporations having enormous influence and power over our elected officials, the gutting of the meager social institutions won by working people many decades ago, and the rampant war profiteering at the cost of the people: no, I don't see any similarities at all. Next question.
You can start with teaching me about this: how can people who know so little about what is Marxism be so fervent about calling everything they see Marxism?
Wrong again...Corporatist, the word you are looking for is Corporatist. Healthcare "reform", Cap and Trade: about as Marxist as not having worker control of the means of production; both Republican ideas. His warmongering? All previous presidents were warmongers too, I guess they were also all Marxist.
A Nexus search on many subjects will show a heavy bias in favor of liberals. Examples: Dan Quayle vs Al Gore. Bush vs Obama. GW sucked because of deficit spending and illegal wars. The same is true of Barrack Obama tenfold, and yet, for some reason, deficit spending is no longer a problem and the illegal wars continue. We are no longer fed daily reports of the number of dead soldiers. Dick Cheney sucked and Joe Biden is such an imbecile and dork, the media doesn't even know he exists.
@FairiesFuckHumans ummm... have u looked at the title of this video? and if you look at most of the comments it's against the right and Fox News... This video and Chomsky is implying that the media is biased but from the right... so YOU shut the fuck up. The media is indeed biased and mostly to the left. hence why every liberal is constantly blaming the republicans and calling them racists and greedy, yet in reality most of the time it's not the case. And, why isn't Obama being based like Bush?
@kingre7 and also, you stupid fuck... this is slanted to the left... notice a quote "most independent research has found that the media are influenced by wealthy business and conservative influences". WIth business & cons highlighted in red... what you said is completely wrong. If you listen to what most of these guys say, it's "wealthy" & "Business" who control the media & morons think that means 'right' or 'cons' BUT in fact, most of mainstream media is OWNED & CONTROLLED by LIBERALS
so the media are influenced by conservative interests? like where? i'm not really acquinted with the situation in the US, but from european experience i know that it's always exactly the opposite way. and yes, there are a lots of misconceptions about what liberal actually means. so by saying liberal i meant the whole left-wing ideology., which btw really freaks me out so it kind of consolates me when i see that the US isn't that deep in this left-wing shit.
@FairiesFuckHumans and how did i misunderstand what the video is about? The video clearly shows that it trying to 'debunk' the liberal biased media, which clearly bullshit cause most of the media is controlled and operated by liberals.
@kingre7 and also, YOU missed out on the comment thread you idiot. If you actually read what I was replying to then you wouldn't be so fucking ignorant and believe that you're right... typical mindset of a leftist. Making assumptions and trying to make yourself 'correct' while not understanding what the initial argument is... as you can see, most of the replies on this video are from liberals, and they bash Fox News, while believing that other news, which is liberal run, is truthful...
@kingre7 Are you capable of thinking independently or can you only regurgitate whats been told to you? How is the media liberal? You do realize that the media is a business and they operate like a business. Why would a business be liberal? Answer...they're not and you're an example of the gullible public who's been duped into believing this.
@FairiesFuckHumans maybe you should read the thread... it's been on going for a while... now YOU shut the fuck up... liberals... never see the full picture...
@tnekkc what????? liberal propaganda environment? the only true liberal media out there is MSNBC just becuase they are trying to adopt FOX's buissness model because of how sucessful it is (if you disagree with how they opperate or not, it is sucsessful)
how exacly is this a "liberal propaganda environment"?
@azoriusherald Even among those who do Karate, there are those who do it every day, and those who do once a week. When one is speaking about existentialistic labels, such as it is either a dog or it is not, straightforward binary logic tends to work pretty well. But when examining behaviors and secondary traits, then it becomes matters of quantitative differences as opposed to qualitiative differences...or...There's a Reason Some Lightbuls Have a Dimmer, not just ON/OFF. Logical FAIL!!!
So if 80-90% of the media votes liberal, that means nothing and does not show a bias? This poor man has lost the ability to discriminate between reality and the academic. BTW: Hey Noam, what did Soros buy with his money to NPR? Do you think he has any bias or agenda?
when they say 'media', they must be referencing the media in the anglo-saxon world. in france the status quo newspaper is le monde, a mouthpiece for the socialist party
@BloodTypeRagu regardless of the technicalities of the party platform (i dont think there are any 'socialist' parties left in europe according to your definition, except maybe the communists) the socialist party in france is pretty left-wing, in anglo terms they are very liberal, this makes le monde very liberal, even more liberal and much more biased than the new york times if you can imagine
@yolenin1 if i may plagiarize chomsky, one of things he argues is that media like the new york times have a special propagandistic role to play in that they define the left even if in substance they arent really too left wing so for example the new york times does not advocate real socialism. this makes socialism out of the discussion since people assume NYT is the outer limits of the radical left. in short the debate is bounded within set limits. the spectrum itself is shifted decidedly right
you gentiles are Pathetic Always take some jew and make him god or Messiah just like the jesus and kerl marx and know this noam chomsky did you ever wondering why is this all your biggst gods and messiah and your intellectuals from right and left are jewish and you wonder how we the jews call are self the chosen people dont diss this
comment in 100 yreas from know your kids will things that holly histroy just like your Fathers Though't demn even the arebs belive in a jewish idea of god
I would think that a centrist or conservative run news organization would make an effort to hire those people who lean that way. Based on REAL studies it would appear to be just the opposite. Not that that would matter to Chomsky.
I guess if you assert that there is no liberal bias enough times people will believe it. What a load of crap this video is. Claims are one thing Chomsky, you dildo. Where is your evidence? Whenever I see someone saying there IS liberal bias they always back it up with something. We're just supposed to take your word for it? What a joke.
@spec24 first of all, read manufacturing consent or necessary illusions. and regardless of whether i believe someone like chomsky that is beside the point. the point is you're doing exactly what you accuse him of. where is your evidence, are we supposed to just believe your word over an intellectual's who made his bones 60 years ago? no offense but you sound hypocritical.
Oh God! Now I have to know what that piece of music is at the beginning cause I love it and haven't heard it in ages... does anyone know? I know this is off topic but...?
here is how u tell there is liberal bias. on the New York Times it said "christian terrorist kills civilians"! now lets look at fort hood shooting "extremist kills people" now they are specificaly targeting christians to push that muslims arent as dangerous as christians. also he wasnt a christian a police officer said that he looked at a christian site. so he also supported pagan ideals and hated mainstream protestanism. also he wasnt state sponsored like islamic terrorist
@seminoleboy96 In regards to the NYT, are you referring to their reporting on Anders Behring Breivik? Even though he clearly was Christian and a terrorist, I did not see the phrase "Christian terrorist" in the NYT reporting on their web site. I did not check the original articles in the actual paper on July 23rd. Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, on trial for the Ft Hood killings, was often linked to Islamic terrorism as I recall, but I can't find any original articles from the time of the murders.
So Norm say NOBODY has done the research weather the media is biased but claimes to know that they are NOT biased. How can he make that claim.
He also claims the voting manners of media does not bias them but that is exactly what is argued about Fox News. The background of the reporters is checked & the claim is made they are conservative biased.
Is the media free? NO not even NPR they get donations & pander to them,(George Soros).
Chomsky himself is bias so his conclusion is taninted
@TheAnonymousAspie he is talking about a media that tells the truth and does not cover stories such as israel's atrocitites towards the palestinians or the news that covers world affairs. he means that the mainstream media are not telling you the truth and that all stations have a corportist media system which insults alot of peoples intellengence. liberal in what it means is that there is no censorship of news or stories which you cant or can cover simple.
Another argument against Conservative media (even on FOX) is that commercial interests refused to fund the most popular news story of the time (Glenn Beck). I think it proves an elitist, centrist a centrist media.
@tazeryoot67 So you seem to argue for a conservative media. The problem is you picked very liberal scholars, such as Chomsky, to say it simply wasn't liberal. In some cases they said it was "centrist." If you're going to argue aginst the video, then why did you upload it?
The point is your literally saying advertisers pulled ads from Glenn Beck because they don't like conservatives when your forgetting the elephant in the room, a huge boycott that happened to the show.
Question everything. There are only a handful of organizations which the masses of society consume said to be knowledge of the complexity of human existence. These organizations have motives, like every other entity which inhabits this plant, and we are expected to believe that this knowledge, this news, is completely and unquestionably sound? Absent of all bias, commercialism, or prioritization of reporting worthiness, geared toward the most basic of natural laws, self preservation.

And fuel prices are artificially low in the US, massively subsidised. War and speculation are what pushed the fuel prices up during the Bush years, and keeps them high today.

(Part 1) I think some of you have over-simplified the problem by blaming 'conservatives'. They are the victims also. The mass media serves the interest of the media conglomerates and the corporations and advertisers who fund them. It is fair to say that they have colonised the 'public sphere' and turned it into their playground for monetary gain.

This suits them ideologically as it means we are no longer engaging in a democratic process of participation and interaction in politics/economics but merely tied down by our most basic instincts through sensational and dumbed down tabloid info-tainment. This maintains the status quo and makes them a lot of money. Win win situation for them.

My goodness, everyone iis entitled to their own opinion. Im sorry, some of you dont know your head from your asshole. Conservatives own the media outlets. News is News its mainly about which news you choose to discuss. ive watched all the media channels. Fox news in my opinion is the worst so called truth source on any channel. CNN leans more in between. MSNBC has to work overtime to expose the lies on FOX. The Conservative era of hatred must end.

Anyone with comprehensive knowledge on this subject realises that "the liberal media" is a myth with no backbone, though I am afraid this video is way to short to lay out the fundamental falacies of this assertion. Conservatives apparently have become way too fond of this nonesense to ever accept the reasons why its wrong, as they perceive anything that does not agree with their world view as liberal. That also includes any objective truth that challenges their ideology. Even scientific fact.

@shiningbeans He might have been right about reporters. But editors are generally conservative, as are the corporations that put out the news. When your boss, your boss's boss, and your boss's boss's boss are all of a different opinion than you, you tend to keep your opinions to yourself. The media that was supposedly tilted left perpetuated the lie, for instance, that Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet.

A bit similar for Comcast : although they give a bit more to Democrat in senate and republican in the house (total 560k vs 500k), the stronger bias is toward incumbent, not lib's or conservator...

Tv, radio, press, delivery (catv, sat) are increasingly owned by single conglomerates on a global scale. NewsCorp is the biggest with media in S.America, Europe, Australia, Asia. btw a Saudi is 2nd largest shareholder of NewsCo. There's also Comcast & GE, a huge energy, defense, finance, media multinational co. When media is owned like this, they get big bucks from big money. Do you pay them? That's why astroturf Teaparty gets more airtime, even promoted. Look at reported context of OccupyWS.

Back to my point that media conglomerates are profit 1st co. How does media make profit? Who pays them? Therefore, who do they answer to? Big money doesn't pay for commercial spots. No, they pay to control context, narrative under guise of paying for a spot. You have to put it in perspective. If a factual story is reported that big money doesn't like, that media co. will lose money from that entity. And shareholders will be unhappy. Even Dan Rather, Dixie Chicks were punished.

@owingawat Many liberals approve of the fact that America is a democracy and are not trying to change that. Ultimately, there are many things in the world today that conservatives would like to change, while there are many things in the world today that liberals would like to keep the same. For this reason, the best definition for “conservative” in the political science sense is merely “a general adherence to a rightist set of ideologies.”
Ethanaxelrod 4 months ago
@owingawat 1) While many people, including a political science professor I once had, often confuse or associate the English language meaning of conservative with the political science meaning, they are not the same. What’s conservative in the English language sense is not necessarily conservative in the political science sense. Many conservatives want to see Row V Wade overturned, while many liberals want to see it kept in place.
Ethanaxelrod 4 months ago
@owingawat A better understanding of the terms "right-wing" and "conservative" is that, in the English language sense, conservative means, "disposed towards preserving existing conditions, institutions, etc. or to restore traditional ones, to limit change." In the political science sense, it is best understood to be a synonym for rightist. This invalidates the idea that the media is somehow right-wing or conservative in the political science sense for two reasons:

Making assumptions and trying to make yourself 'correct' while not understanding what the initial argument is... as you can see, most of the replies on this video are from liberals, and they bash Fox News, while believing that other news, which is liberal run, is truthful...

@kingre7 Are you capable of thinking independently or can you only regurgitate whats been told to you? How is the media liberal? You do realize that the media is a business and they operate like a business. Why would a business be liberal? Answer...they're not and you're an example of the gullible public who's been duped into believing this.

Foxnews is liberal, but they allow some conservative views to be heard.
Murdock is a flaming liberal.
He does not have to make foxnews conservative, just more conservative than the all liberal channels, and voila, no. 1 ratings.
That is because the people are conservative. Maybe not the ones in NY or SF, but in the heartland.
For TV to make big money, you can't appeal to the pot smokers and cross dressing liberals.

What Noam fails to see is that we live in a liberal propaganda environment.
It is invisible to him. He cannot see it, because he has only liberal biased thoughts.
There are Christians that cannot put two sentences together without drifting off into their faith.
The media and educational systems are manned by liberals who cannot put two sentences together without drifting off into their liberal faith.
Liberals worship Negroes. Text books must have 40 pages showing integrated Negroes.

@azoriusherald Even among those who do Karate, there are those who do it every day, and those who do once a week. When one is speaking about existentialistic labels, such as it is either a dog or it is not, straightforward binary logic tends to work pretty well. But when examining behaviors and secondary traits, then it becomes matters of quantitative differences as opposed to qualitiative differences...or...There's a Reason Some Lightbuls Have a Dimmer, not just ON/OFF.

So if 80-90% of the media votes liberal, that means nothing and does not show a bias? This poor man has lost the ability to discriminate between reality and the academic. BTW: Hey Noam, what did Soros buy with his money to NPR? Do you think he has any bias or agenda?

when they say 'media', they must be referencing the media in the anglo-saxon world. in france the status quo newspaper is le monde, a mouthpiece for the socialist party

@BloodTypeRagu regardless of the technicalities of the party platform (i dont think there are any 'socialist' parties left in europe according to your definition, except maybe the communists) the socialist party in france is pretty left-wing, in anglo terms they are very liberal, this makes le monde very liberal, even more liberal and much more biased than the new york times if you can imagine
yolenin1 6 months ago
@yolenin1 if i may plagiarize chomsky, one of things he argues is that media like the new york times have a special propagandistic role to play in that they define the left even if in substance they arent really too left wing so for example the new york times does not advocate real socialism. this makes socialism out of the discussion since people assume NYT is the outer limits of the radical left. in short the debate is bounded within set limits. the spectrum itself is shifted decidedly right

@BloodTypeRagu right, well, again, this is why i say the media in the anglo-saxon world. you should read le monde, or something like mediapart

I would think that a centrist or conservative run news organization would make an effort to hire those people who lean that way. Based on REAL studies it would appear to be just the opposite. Not that that would matter to Chomsky.

I guess if you assert that there is no liberal bias enough times people will believe it. What a load of crap this video is. Claims are one thing Chomsky, you dildo. Where is your evidence? Whenever I see someone saying there IS liberal bias they always back it up with something. We're just supposed to take your word for it? What a joke.

@spec24 first of all, read manufacturing consent or necessary illusions. and regardless of whether i believe someone like chomsky that is beside the point. the point is you're doing exactly what you accuse him of. where is your evidence, are we supposed to just believe your word over an intellectual's who made his bones 60 years ago? no offense but you sound hypocritical.

here is how u tell there is liberal bias. on the New York Times it said "christian terrorist kills civilians"! now lets look at fort hood shooting "extremist kills people" now they are specificaly targeting christians to push that muslims arent as dangerous as christians. also he wasnt a christian a police officer said that he looked at a christian site. so he also supported pagan ideals and hated mainstream protestanism. also he wasnt state sponsored like islamic terrorist

@seminoleboy96 In regards to the NYT, are you referring to their reporting on Anders Behring Breivik? Even though he clearly was Christian and a terrorist, I did not see the phrase "Christian terrorist" in the NYT reporting on their web site. I did not check the original articles in the actual paper on July 23rd. Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, on trial for the Ft Hood killings, was often linked to Islamic terrorism as I recall, but I can't find any original articles from the time of the murders.

So Norm say NOBODY has done the research weather the media is biased but claimes to know that they are NOT biased. How can he make that claim.
He also claims the voting manners of media does not bias them but that is exactly what is argued about Fox News. The background of the reporters is checked & the claim is made they are conservative biased.
Is the media free? NO not even NPR they get donations & pander to them,(George Soros).
Chomsky himself is bias so his conclusion is taninted

@TheAnonymousAspie he is talking about a media that tells the truth and does not cover stories such as israel's atrocitites towards the palestinians or the news that covers world affairs. he means that the mainstream media are not telling you the truth and that all stations have a corportist media system which insults alot of peoples intellengence. liberal in what it means is that there is no censorship of news or stories which you cant or can cover simple.

Another argument against Conservative media (even on FOX) is that commercial interests refused to fund the most popular news story of the time (Glenn Beck). I think it proves an elitist, centrist a centrist media.

@jeremytarbush
That was because of a massive boycott, it's not like advertisers suddenly decided not to fund the show for no reason.
tazeryoot67 7 months ago
@tazeryoot67 So you seem to argue for a conservative media. The problem is you picked very liberal scholars, such as Chomsky, to say it simply wasn't liberal. In some cases they said it was "centrist." If you're going to argue aginst the video, then why did you upload it?

The point is your literally saying advertisers pulled ads from Glenn Beck because they don't like conservatives when your forgetting the elephant in the room, a huge boycott that happened to the show.

Question everything. There are only a handful of organizations which the masses of society consume said to be knowledge of the complexity of human existence. These organizations have motives, like every other entity which inhabits this plant, and we are expected to believe that this knowledge, this news, is completely and unquestionably sound? Absent of all bias, commercialism, or prioritization of reporting worthiness, geared toward the most basic of natural laws, self preservation.
