Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting

[yesbrth]

Congratulations to FAIR. The Media are Professional Liars. Repeat after me: The Media are Professional Liars. And it is a question of life or death, war or peace, freedom or patriot act. raelradio (dot-net) to hear the truth.

WHY should anyone trust this organization AT ALL!! I crossed along this website and noticed this petition called support wiki leaks! I wanted to call them so bad to say FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKERS! But apperently, they have no phone number! So all I have to say is, and all for you looking at FAIR( FASCHIST ASSHOLES IN REDCOATS!!) FUCK YOU ALL! AND MAY YOU ALL GO TO HELL!

[atfreema]

Why should anyone trust this "FAIR" organization which erroneously said that domestic violence went up 40% on Super Bowl Sunday, and based this claim on a newspaper columnists' dream sequence?

[MarmaladeINFP]

Single payer does have popular support. How does it get blocked from mainstream media? Is there some group or alliance of groups that is powerful enough to control or strongly influence almost all the mainstream media? Or are all the people working in media so disconnected from average people that they're trapped in a collective media bubble where they only hear what other media people are saying? It's truly bizarre.

When the F will the government-sucking media give equal time to the Green, Socialist and Libertarian Parties in the USA? Only when people use military revolt and actively DEFEND the use of deadly force to overthrow the corporate censors. The Hungarians who violently rebelled against the law and the Communist government of 1956 broke the law, too, but that is what is necessary.

This undemocracy is the result of centuries of conservative domination and control of government.

Thanks for the vid, B'Gem.

The very fact you people claim to be defending the 1st amendment by forcing people to include your collectivist marxist bullshit in their publications and broadcasts is just laughable! Freedom of the press should be freedom from government regulation and censorship of the press- or it is not a free press at all. It doesn't matter that it's your opinion that this or that press source is wrong. That's exactly the purpose of the first amendment: freedom to say what others don't agree with.

[mikejackson4ever]

What I find to be the biggest crock of horseshit about FAIR and the "Fairness" Doctrine (as Orwellian a term as it gets) is that right-wing media sources are by FAR the minority- the media is dominated by a leftist bias- yet they whine and single them (us) out as though we dominated the field. It's mere targeting, isolation, and elimination of true dissent- not on the basis of accuracy, as they claim, but on the basis of FOX not being Marxist enough. Who the fuck do they think they're kidding?

[fleontrotsky]

"...right-wing media sources are by FAR the minority" . That gave me a hearty chuckle. Thanks for making such an ass of yourself in this comment section. You've brightened up my evening no end !

[mikejackson4ever]

*yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck,*!!!! Oh! My sides are killing me! Yeah, I got the Michael Moore memo. The claim continues to stink like a pile of donkey-shit. Sorry, so, CNN, MSNBC, HN, Katie Couric, all these people who were orgasming with praise for Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and George W. Bush (not that his capitulation- like a schmuck- to the democrat congress's demands circa '06 and forward quite qualifies him as a conservative) I guess, proves the claim... OH WAIT!!! They hated them!!!

[fleontrotsky]

Rush Limbaugh - don't know much about him except thta he is a hypocritical drug addict.

Ann Coulter - International joke!

George Bush - War criminal ( though I think we can now lump Obama in there too!)

Spouting some vitriol about some no-mark pundits and a war criminal does not make one 'left-wing'. It's about substance over style, or policy over polemics. Something that American poitics (or any other country for that matter) is sadly lacking in.

[Saromatae]

Good comment fleontrotsky. I have had about all I can stand with the partisan fervor in the US. If you don't agree or pander to the left/right you are considered either a tree hugging communist or a gun toting fascist, depending on what fundamentalist you happen to be talking to. It is enough to drive you out of your mind.

[mikejackson4ever]

"The majority of Americans favor a single-payer [READ: "gpvernment-run] healthcare system"?!?! Bullshit! According to who? What poll?

[buddhagem]

Your ignorance of the extensive polling that takes place is not surprising. I'd suggest you look into the matter. The public's stance on health care hasn't changed much in the last 30 years. Once you educate yourself you might ask a more important question: Why don't I know this? Why has your media failed to convey this very simple and well-known fact to you? And furthermore, what else don't you know?

[mikejackson4ever]

Says the guy who has failed to cite an actual source.

[mikejackson4ever]

Until you provide an accurate, non-dubious poll, I'll consider that a phantom claim.

[buddhagem]

Yes, of course, because it would be too much for you to spend five seconds Googling the topic yourself. I must spoon feed you. Since YT has a problem with putting web addresses in comments I'll post a link the sidebar that shows 63% of the public favor universal health care. But as I've said, if you weren't such a lazy fuck, you could look into this yourself and find that the overall opinion hasn't changed much in 30 years. Again, why don't you know this?

[mikejackson4ever]

Socratic method, shithead. Why don't I know this? It's hard to keep up with all your left-wing propaganda. I mean when you pull it out of your asses, it comes out at a rate that's hard to keep up with- the "evidence" for anthropogenic global warming, for instance. The erroneous claim, by FAIR in 1993, that violence against women increased by 40% on Super Bowl Sundays, for another instance. But let's have a look-see a little deeper than the cursory glance you guys depend on when presenting polls.

[mikejackson4ever]

Your poll is over 2 years old- you know, like, before Obama was in office, and before Obamacare existed... yeah... why don't YOU know this? Rasmussen (the polling outfit that actually got the closest to predicting the real outcome of the election last year), reports that their brand new poll shows support for Obamacare has slipped to 42% for the plan, 54% against the plan. Again, why don't YOU know this? Who's the lazy fuck spouting lies here? Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting, my fucking ass.

[buddhagem]

Genius. Let me help you. Universal Health care and Obamacare are not even close to being the same thing. I don't know anybody who is in favor of Universal Health Care that's in favor of Obama Care. These are just elementary facts here and yet you see so clueless. Just to be clear, I could have picked a poll from thirty years ago and it would have been essentially the same regarding Universal Health Care. Your confusion on this issue is rather embarrassing.

[mikejackson4ever]

First, thank you for addressing me by my proper name. Right, so, I was trying to gauge whether or not I would even need to have you give us all YOUR definition of "obamacare"- you know, whether or not you're the sort of person who loses a debate, then decides to take refuge in the splitting of hairs. Please, enlighten us all on your definition of "obamacare", since even Obama and congress seem reluctant to nail that one down.

P.S. I'll ignore demonstrably false 30 year claim.

[buddhagem]

You seem confused. Your ignorance on this topic is astounding. I don't need to split hairs. Everything I've said is clear to anybody familiar with the subject matter. You are begging me to spoon feed you and I simply won't do it. You have internet access and brains enough to be thinking about the subject. Educate yourself and you'll understand why Obamacare and Universal Health Care are not even close. Good luck.

I wish I spent more time at the tables.....
