Doesn't TheAngryCanuck also deny the Holocaust? He's probably a bigoted Ron Paul supporter too. Of course he's one of the right-wing nut job conspiracy theorists who say "liberalism is a mental disorder...duhhhhh". Not to mention that idiot also denies the Holocaust. Fuck him to hell man.
“Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he’s nice but you don’t take him seriously. That’s Canada.”
Wow, this guy used to make some really good points, but now, he's coming across a total ass hole. He assumes he knows how the world works, and only presents it from his point of view.
This guy is clearly bias beyond belief. Unsubscribed.
In the US there's basically the democratic media, which is the mainstream, the liberal media which is MSNBC and the republican media which is Fox News. All in all I think you have to agree there is a left wing bias. But what you really have is a political bias that is suited after the two parties, which in term produces complete drivel in terms of factual reporting.
Like the moronic notion that somehow the left is anti-war, even though war has had bi-partisan support since after Eisenhower.
@Visfen Since when has MSNBC been a "liberal" media network and since when have the Democrats been "liberal"? By liberal I assume you mean left wing or social democratic.
@Visfen Maybe I should start watching them then! Because I always thought it was just the controlled opposition channel which rooted for Democrats and occasionally republicans but maybe they've improved since shitcanning that Keith Olbermann douche.
@ProgressiveAudio Hardly, they are still a liberal biased shit-channel. With democrats in office you get more insight from Fox News. Which is sad, but at least you have free media in the US in terms of bias.
@Visfen I've never seen them champion any "liberal" causes. Or is any network that is opposition to the republicans liberal now? I always thought they were just controlled opposition myself. I think you're buying into the bullshit of the mainstream media.
@ProgressiveAudio Uh, really? And what would you call liberal causes then? I don't see anything but it, and especially in terms of that childish "first-year-of-college"-rhetoric that is so stereotypical for liberals.
All networks except Fox News is in opposition to the Republicans, so no, but MSNBC defintely are.
@Visfen Well I use the word liberal correctly, as in it means what is called libertarianism in the US economically and means social liberalism in the social sphere. What I'm pretty sure you mean is center-left causes, which I've never seen seriously promoted on there. I do see a lot of bashing of the Republican party on there, and 3 years out of 4 some tiny support for causes Democrats claim to champion and then abandon on election year. This to me is not "liberal" it's anti GOP.
@ProgressiveAudio It does not mean libertarianism, libertarianism is linked to classical liberalism, liberalism is the political third way between socialism and liberalism, that is social liberalism both in the social and economic sense of the word.
All the channels did praise Obama like a messiah, you couldn't have missed that.
Controlled Opposition is some kinda Alex Jones myth. The problem is always, who is controlling it? Because nobody is, there is no vast conspiracy, it's just stupidity.
@Visfen "especially in terms of that childish "first-year-of-college"-rhetoric that is so stereotypical for liberals." What are you even talking about? "All networks except Fox News is in opposition to the Republicans, so no, but MSNBC defintely are." I guess except CNN which has loads of Republicans on there, CBS and ABC which have republicans on there (Didn't ABC host that douchebag John Stossel for years and play a big smear campaign against the film Sicko?)
@Visfen Here's an example of controlled opposition: Keith Olbermann was fired for being too critical of Bill O'Reilly from this apparently liberal channel.
@Visfen Not according to the facts, and Fox News didn't even want to play that story. The major media networks are all basically owned by the same people, anyone who listens to them is a dipshit.
@ProgressiveAudio What facts? Look in websters dictionairy, that is the definition of the word most commonly used.
Fox News didn't want to play what story? The Keith Olberman story? Who cares, he was irrelevant even at his peak, he had lousy rating every year because he was nothing but a stereotypical loudmouth liberal douchebag.
I don't really listen to mainstream news anyhow, but prisonplanet is the planet for crazy people.
The media isn't controlled, journalists are just very stupid
@Visfen "What facts? Look in websters dictionairy, that is the definition of the word most commonly used." What word? Now I'm confused because your comments are getting convoluted. That's why I do the "" in comments. "Fox News didn't want to play what story? The Keith Olberman story? Who cares, he was irrelevant even at his peak," I thought your point was that MSNBC is "liberal" and when I said he got fired for criticizing fox news, you disputed that. I answer that the facts show otherwise.
@ProgressiveAudio Convoluted? It's the definition of the word liberal. Liberal has nothing to do with libertarian.
Olberman got fired officially for donating money to democratic candidates, but the real reason was that they wanted him out of his contract because he had such lousy ratings. That was a perfect excuse. You're not referring to any facts at all, you're referring to a conspiracy theory. You haven't referenced any facts.
Michael Moore is an idiot, who cares what people call him.
@Visfen "he was nothing but a stereotypical loudmouth liberal douchebag." He seems more like a sterotypical sports commentator douchebag. He spoke in favor of fluffly corporate approved agendas, because after all this is the guy who called Michael Moore (not a hardcore leftist either) a traitor for opposing the war in Iraq. "I don't really listen to mainstream news anyhow, but prisonplanet is the planet for crazy people." So it's either mainstream news or crank sources to you :p
@Visfen "The media isn't controlled, journalists are just very stupid" Oh dear, yeah I guess corporate advertising and news sources are just unbiased places of truth and it's journalist on these networks are given free reign to say what they want. I guess MediaMatters is just a crank website then :p
@ProgressiveAudio Do you know what bias even means? They are not deliberately untruthful or dishonest, they simply play into their roles as parroting the political talking points. To suggest in any way it has to do with corporate control though is somewhat convoluted and sound more like conspiracy theory nonsense.
They are simply stupid. I like zerohedge, that's a good site for news.
Mediamatters is a crank website, definitely. Would you honestly say otherwise?
@Visfen I don't know how I forgot these two guys (I guess it's because I haven't watched TV in a long time) but Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarbourgh are on MSNBC, and are those part of the evil liberal media network?
@Visfen "Do you know what bias even means?" Are you trying to pull the old "No, I know what that is, but do you know what THAT is?" game? "They are not deliberately untruthful or dishonest" The media isn't? Since when? They can't help but lie every time they open their damn mouths. I mean even a person with generally moderate views politically knows that. That's the case in the US and largely in Canada, not so much elsewhere.
@ProgressiveAudio Okay, what are they deliberately untruthful and dishonest about? They parrot different stereotypical views and talking points against each other, where are they deliberately lying in this, please give me an example.
Not so much elsewhere? So just in the US? I wish I could be so lucky as to at least have the choice in media you do in the US. We only have government news and that is tilted to the favor of anything government with ridiculous inaccuracies.
@Visfen "Okay, what are they deliberately untruthful and dishonest about?" How is this even debatable? What, you've never heard of pundit and news agencies lying about anything? Or being deceitful? Seriously, are you 14 years old? "Not so much elsewhere?" Not as much no, because of the much larger presence of public media. Still they have their lying shitrags, just look at Sky in the UK (it's run by the same guys who run Fox. "So just in the US?" I just said US and Canada. Do you read?
@Visfen "I wish I could be so lucky as to at least have the choice in media you do in the US. " Is that like the Pepsi or Coke choice because everyone, political or otherwise recognizes that choice is being completely eliminated in the US media, all the channels are slowly becoming one. More and more people are ditching tv. I only use my tv to watch dvd's and play video games now, I'm glad I don't watch Television.
@Visfen "We only have government news and that is tilted to the favor of anything government with ridiculous inaccuracies." And where do you live? I see Sweden (though people often pick random countries on their profiles). I found plenty of non governmental news agencies there, alongside public news agencies (not the same as government news agencies). For example Voice of America is the US governments official news agency, while PBS is a public news agency. There's a difference.
@ProgressiveAudio Really, what did you find? The newspapers? That's it though, but paper news is dead, everything is really just TV and electronic now. Sure we have blogs. But as far as TV goes we only have government funding which doesn't care to deliver news the people want.
Whereas private organizations have to get views or listeners to get money from advertising. (And papers that criticize bad companies actually get paid more for adds, because it lends credibility to the add placer)
@Visfen "Really, what did you find? The newspapers? That's it though, but paper news is dead" Eh, now I know you don't live in Europe because in Europe newspapers are thriving, it's only in the US and Canada where newspapers and magazines are being crushed by the internet. In France for just one example newspaper reading is a major hobby. Anyway, it took me 30 seconds to find major private news networks in Sweden, and news sites, so you fail there.
@ProgressiveAudio Private news network in Sweden, okay, what the hell are you talking about? Aftonbladet? Expressen? Dagens industri? Svenska dagbladet? Dagens Nyheter? Those are newspapers online.
What possible private news network could you be referring to, you're being completely ridiculous thinking you know more about swedish news than I do.
There's SVT and TV4. That's the only news networks...
Four media companies dominate the Swedish television market: * Sveriges Television, which owns SVT1, SVT2, SVT24, SVTB and Kunskapskanalen * TV4 Group, which owns TV4, TV4 Plus, TV400, TV4 Fakta, TV4 Film, TV4 Sport, TV4 Guld, TV4 Komedi and the Canal+ package. * Modern Times Group, which owns TV3, TV6, TV8, ZTV, the Viasat Sport package, the TV1000 package and some documentary channels. * ProSiebenSat.1 Media, which owns Kanal 5 and Kanal 9."
@Visfen Lets see, Sveriges Television is the BBC equiv. in Sweden, that's not government news, that's public news. TV4 Group is private so nope. Modern Times Group is private so no. ProSiebenSat.1 Media is a European media conglomerate so no. You're failing miserably, geesh :p Sweden has less channels than the US yeah, because it's a country of 9 million people, not 300 million.
@Visfen "Public news is government news you dimwit." So PBS is government news? So if public taxpayers money go to something it's automatically government media? Are you fucking serious :p? Then why is the government fighting to scrap PBS? Why would they fight to scrap something they control? Why would they even have to fight over it?
@Visfen "Though on analog channels and therefor under government regulations, extensively so, like sadly most things in Sweden." Government regulations=gov channel? Lol
@Visfen "Really, what did you find? The newspapers? That's it though, but paper news is dead" Yeah now I know you don't live in Europe because in Europe they've kept newspapers alive while they are pretty much dead in the US due to being crushed by the internet.
@ProgressiveAudio Wow, so you know more about Europe than I do. I mean what would I know, I've only lived here all my life. Been involved in politics in nine years.
Yes, newspapers is a dead form of communication. Didn't you get the memo? We have internet in Europe too, in fact we have better internet in Sweden than in almost any other country in the world.
@Visfen "Wow, so you know more about Europe than I do. I mean what would I know, I've only lived here all my life. " For one, couldn't I say the same thing to you, you're blabbering on about the US media like a retard, and fuck I don't even think you do live in Sweden, or you could be one of those really pathetic wannabe americans who gets a daily dose of Fox News and right wing propaganda in the hopes you'll feel empowered. Fuck is this Angry Canuck?
@Visfen "We have internet in Europe too, in fact we have better internet in Sweden than in almost any other country in the world." that evil public funding and research there
@Visfen "But as far as TV goes we only have government funding which doesn't care to deliver news the people want." I looked up major Swedish media outlets and I found mostly private ones, and some public ones. Neither are government mouthpieces. You remind me of this troll who kept blabbering on about the evil socialist scandinavia, then when a real scandinavian came around and showed how its not socialist and state controlled, his head exploded.
@Visfen "Whereas private organizations have to get views or listeners to get money from advertising." Oh wait, are you saying public sources and "government" sources get funding from the government but private ones don't? Well no shit, that's why they are private. Why should private sources get it from the government, they wouldn't be private then! Are you advocating for the government to be in the news agencies and have private sources rely on government funding?
@ProgressiveAudio I'm advocating that government not fund or be involved in news in any way, because journalists are supposed to watch the government, not be in the government.
That's why I rather have a completely private news industry, where people can find out the truth trough investigative reporting from different news-sites. Far better than what we have in Sweden with two tv-channels funded by the government and extensively controlled by the left that owns the cultural sector.
@Visfen "I'm advocating that government not fund or be involved in news in any way, because journalists are supposed to watch the government, not be in the government." Sure I agree, but you're not making this point come off well at all. You clearly don't understand the divide between private/public/government because when it comes to news (and many other things) they are three different things. Look at PBS, Americas public news agency, and its the most critical of the government (cont.)
@Visfen and host independent media which gets it in trouble all the time, always the Senate is threatening to cut off all their funding even if taxpayers agree to it or not. "That's why I rather have a completely private news industr" No, that would be retarded, it'd be like having a completely private health care system (which we have :p) or private transportation system. You need a public media scene to act as a balance to the multibillion dollar media machine.
@ProgressiveAudio I rather have a completely private health care system as well, that's beside the point though. (You don't have completely private)
You didn't explain in any way why it would be a problem, you made assertions about how independent media and CSPAN are good news-outlets. I think they are horrible, dull and completely ridiculous. They don't need to exist, private media works fine. In fact the media that works best is forums on the internet, debate is the best way to find truth.
@Visfen "I rather have a completely private health care system as well, that's beside the point though. (You don't have completely private)" Oh dear, and yes we do for most sectors. You're right that for a niche group of people there is either a single payer insurance system or some sort of NHS style system but that's not for many, the vast majority of people have no access to health care, outside Vermont anyway.
@ProgressiveAudio No you don't. You have medicare and medicaid. You have federal regulation of health care. You have mandates on federal and local levels for insurance. You have tax incentives for employers giving health care.
The US system is not "completely private", to suggest that is laughable.
If you actually understood anything about economics or politics you would understand why the NHS is a disaster.
5% don't have access to care. What a "majority". You're a make a fool of yourself.
@Visfen "No you don't. You have medicare and medicaid." Medicare is only offered to permanently disabled people and people over 62. Medicaid is a completely state based system and depends on the state, many states are thinking of scrapping it. I am not eligable for either, neither is anyone in many family and no one I know. "You have tax incentives for employers giving health care." Employer given health care is crap and many employers don't do it.
Then get a job and buy a private insurance with high deductible, or don't, you can just go to the emergency room and they can't turn you away. I wouldn't get insurance in your age, what are you? 17?18?
Most employers do it, the vast majority.
The point is, and just take this is, you do not have a completely private system. Far from it. Switzerland system is more private, I rather have theirs than yours.
@Visfen "No, it's 65." Yikes I cant believe I got that confused.
"States can't scrap it, it's a federal program." Medicaid is not a federal program, Medicare is. There's a big difference. Any state can scrap Medicaid, in fact Vermont wants to scrap it for its Green Mountain Care program. Connecticut was going to for Sustinet. It is a means-tested program that is jointly funded by the state and federal governments, and is managed by the states.
@ProgressiveAudio Medicaid is a federal program, it is however directed trough the states. I think you would do well to look over the federal budget again, this is so damn basic. States administer it but it's federal funding.
No, states can not scrap Medicaid. They are required to have it and they have little room to maneuver with it. It's federal law Title XIX. Maybe you should like read a little about this before you start posting...
@Visfen They are not required to have it, they are required to have minimum standards to maintain the program but can scrap it at will. Arizona is currently planning to scrap it, and so are many other states. There is no federal saw mandating medicaid. There are laws mandating standards within Medicaid.
@Visfen "Then get a job and buy a private insurance with high deductible, or don't, you can just go to the emergency room and they can't turn you away." Uh, a lot easier said than done. Emergency rooms will give you gigantic bills that put you into bankrupt (medical bankruptcies are the most common bankrupties in America these days) and employee based insurance is typically under insured crap and employers cheat people out of it all the time.
@ProgressiveAudio No they are not the most common cause of bankruptcies in America, that was a completely bunk story. What the study did was look at anyone who went bankrupt and if they had any medical expenses or anyone of their family or relatives did, no matter how small, they counted it as a medical bankruptcy.
It wasn't even true before the nr 1 cause was missed mortgage payments.
You should read up on what the insurance business plan is before you talk about under and over insurnace
@Visfen "No they are not the most common cause of bankruptcies in America, " Yes it is, I mean I found businessweek and consumer affairs even reporting on that. Are you seriously this clueless?
@ProgressiveAudio I know they did. The study is crap. This is what you do if you want to actually find the truth, you investigate the story and the source. I don't even bother with papers, I go to the source of the study.
The methodology is stupid.
Now can you please answer me what corporate bias in news is and give me an example.
@Visfen "I know they did. The study is crap. " What study is crap? You're not giving any sources yourself, you're just blasting off your stupid fucking mouth with things like "Lol, you think so? Thats wrong, this is evil, this is this, this is that." You're a typical right wing blowhard, no facts and trying to act like your opinion is fact.
@ProgressiveAudio The study done by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has a ridiculous methdology, I explained well why it doesn't work.
Hah, I'm a typical.. no, I'm really not. I'm an anarchocapitalist, it's completely above your head to even discuss and since you wont even answer a simply question I've asked eight times now there's no point continuing to educate you.
@Visfen "The study done by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has a ridiculous methdology," What are you talking about? "I'm an anarchocapitalist, it's completely above your head to even discuss and since you wont even answer a simply question I've asked eight times now there's no point continuing to educate you." Anarchocapitalist :p. Anarchist are totally lame and treat their delusions on society and politics like a religion. I love to pit anarchocapitalist against anarchosocialist for fun
@Visfen "Switzerland system is more private, I rather have theirs than yours." Eh, not really, it's mostly based on private systems but heavily regulated by the government. It's like Hawaiis system but a bit stronger. It's a bismark system, it doesn't rely on the private systems being private, it relies on them being regulated by get this, the government.
@Visfen "The US system is not "completely private", to suggest that is laughable." I agree, slip of the tongue there. "% don't have access to care. " Hmm, I just checked PNHP and the number in 2009 was 50.7 million. When you say "5 percent" you're being misleading like someone on Fox News or MSNBC because out of a country of over 300 million, that's a lot. Typically 11,000 of those people die each year from lack of health care, fuck I could be those people if I'm not careful.
@ProgressiveAudio Well of those 50.7 million 30 million chose not to get care, but could afford it. People like Donald Trump or like you (that are young). Then there's about 5 million illegal immigrants. They don't get care in Sweden either (until later this year, new law).
I'm not being misleading, I'm using the more proper definition of uninsured - those that can't afford or don't have coverage but want it. (that are citizens)
@Visfen "Well of those 50.7 million 30 million chose not to get care" Uh, no. I certainly don't choose not to get care, I held on to Medi-Cal as much as I could, so did my brother who needs surgery to correct issues with his breathing so that he can concentrate and actually go to school. I can't afford private insurance.
@Visfen "People like Donald Trump or like you (that are young)." Oh dear, I was just compared to Donald Trump :p. "those that can't afford or don't have coverage but want it. (that are citizens)" Actually here uninsured does cover legal residents and some even cover illegal residents. You don't have to be a citizen to get on medical in california, just be under 21 or under certain circumstances.
@Visfen "And lots of people in the UK die in lines." Of course that's not true but this will just go on forever. In reality people have been refused treatment in emergency rooms here for not having insurance where they begged to get treated and then died.
@Visfen The majority of people in my case I said, sorry if it wasn't worded right. Most people from 18 to 62 are either uninsured or underinsured. Pretty much everyone I know has horror stories with health insurance.
@ProgressiveAudio Underinsured is completely subjective. Most people don't want the kind of insurance that qualify for being insured. It costs money you know. Insurance is supposed to be there for catastrophic disasters
Yes, I know very much about the current health care reform. I wrote an article about it for a libertarian paper in Sweden.
It will not be far more private, the federal government is gonna start an exchange and regulate how everyones insurance plan will look.
@Visfen "Underinsured is completely subjective." Not according to medical professionals. Being underinsured in some ways is worse than uninsured, because you're even more likely going to go bankrupt. But hey at least you get treatment right? Well...no.
@Visfen "Yes, I know very much about the current health care reform. I wrote an article about it for a libertarian paper in Sweden." I bet you don't, I bet you think it's "socialized medicine." "It will not be far more private, the federal government is gonna start an exchange and regulate how everyones insurance plan will look." Nope, it's going to start some crappy exchanges sure, but and it's going to mandate everyone buy insurance unregulated. It's been tried in Mass.
@ProgressiveAudio Far more private? You mean because Medicare is going bankrupt? Will you please for once make a valid reference instead of googling between making broad points?
@Visfen "You mean because Medicare is going bankrupt?" Um...no? "Will you please for once make a valid reference instead of googling between making broad points?" How about you check Physicians for a National Health Program? Oh wait, that's an evil liberal organization even if its run by some of Americas most respected doctors.
@Visfen Why don't you actually read up on these things before blasting your mouth off. "Far more private? " Do you know anything about the current health care reforms happening in 2014?
@Visfen "you made assertions about how independent media and CSPAN are good news-outlets." I never mentioned C-SPAN though, and C-SPAN isn't a news agency in the way you're defining it, they just play video footage of Congress, no opinions or spin whatsoever. Independent media outlets are the most far away from the government, they don't even rely on advertising.
@Visfen "I think they are horrible, dull and completely ridiculous" Well CSPAN is dull because its just video footage. As for independent media being dull, really? They typically report on things other networks don't, and they're typically more tied to the community but if you want to be spoon fed dry corporate news, go right ahead.
@ProgressiveAudio I read zerohedge, you really think I watch the news on a daily basis anymore? I've found alternative news channel and particularly by discussing news with intelligent people on discussion forums I manage to get trough the spin and the mis-reporting.
@Visfen "They don't need to exist, private media works fine." Independent is private you moron :p It doesn't even rely on advertising. It's completely run by private citizens. "In fact the media that works best is forums on the internet, debate is the best way to find truth." Well what about municipal and publicly funded internet? That's even used here in the US. The internet is a government invention.
@Visfen "Far better than what we have in Sweden with two tv-channels funded by the government and extensively controlled by the left that owns the cultural sector." Yeah I looked up Swedish tv media and found over 22 channels listed, and four major swedish media outlets, so no, you're just feeding me a bunch of horseshit. Fuck the media scene there doesn't sound all that different from here :p
@Visfen "To suggest in any way it has to do with corporate contro" yeah because corporate mergers, corporate welfare, corporate loopholes, corporate this and that which exist don't point to control at all.
@ProgressiveAudio That isn't even an argument, that's just a very sarcastic remark. Where is the corporate bias? The only thing I can think of is the bias to GE, which is part of the media, so it doesn't really count.
How does the media control it then?
Lay out your conspiracy theories in plain words instead of dancing around it like a fucking idiot.
@Visfen "Where is the corporate bias?" *facepalm* I guess corporate news agencies are just bastions of diversity in opinions and don't have a vested interest in their own superiority.
@Visfen "'ve asked you like five times already,could you give a real example of corporate bias?" So networks don't have a bias towards themselves? Wait, I thought you were saying I said networks don't have a bias. "They have a vested interest in viewership which they get from playing into the hands of the political spin machine" So this isn't bias?
@ProgressiveAudio Bias toward themselves. I already mentioned GE as the exception that confirms the rule.
No, getting views is not bias. If you don't report things people will actually listen to then what the hell is the point a media. Media should report the news people are interested in, that is their job, that is how they get views.
If that is corporate bias then you have an extremely weak case.
@Visfen "Bias toward themselves. I already mentioned GE as the exception that confirms the rule." I guess Fox News has no bias at all, or MSNBC, or ABC, or NBC, or CBS, or WB, or oh forget it.
@ProgressiveAudio Are you daft? I've already explained what their bias is. What I want an answer to is what this corporate bias is. Can you answer that so I can finally go to bed?
@Visfen " "What? Their own superiority?" You have no idea about the infamous merger I just mentioned did you? You're coming off as a complete retard who has no idea what he is talking about and is just giving off copy and past responses to the situation with religious devotion.
@ProgressiveAudio What infamous merger? Mergers happen all the fucking time you boob.
You're not answering any of my questions, I've asked you now six times what the hell the corporate bias is in the media and if you can give an example.
Instead you make sarcastic remarks that references to nothing and somehow you think you're smart when I didn't get a completely impossible connection. Would you be an adult and answer a question you damn bafoon....
@ProgressiveAudio There are mergers every week you boob. It's a completely empty reference to just make a sarcastic remark and it's pathetic for you to act smug about me not getting an impossible connection.
Answer the damn question, what media bias are you talking about?
@Visfen "There are mergers every week you boob. " *rolls eyes* So I guess you just missed all the US news stories on the NBC Universal merger and how congressmen were questioning if it was even legal (it wouldn't have been 30 years ago). Seriously, you're so one-dimensional and predictable it's retarded.
You don't need a counterbalance for the government to fund and make their own spin. You get enough of that disruption even in private media. I rather have none of it but that is impossible so I want to see as little as possible of it.
There's no balance in government doing propaganda. Why even let them.
@Visfen "Mediamatters is a crank website, definitely. Would you honestly say otherwise?" So exposing the lies and deceit of pundits on a very select few channels (notice they never go against democrat pundits) is cranky? Seriously? You're exactly who straightd0pe is describing with your liberal bias bullshit.
@ProgressiveAudio Wow, you're so utterly and completely brainwashed that you don't even see how a left wing think tank is not a crank website. They post talking point after talking point right of the liberal agenda. It's seriously cranky, it's a "news"-site I don't even bother with anymore because they post such nonsensical drivel.
So there's no lib bias on media matters? Read the wiki article! It's a PROGRESSIVE media watchdog.
You're completely one-dimensional, please at read something.
@Visfen "Wow, you're so utterly and completely brainwashed that you don't even see how a left wing think tank is not a crank website." It's not a think tank though, it's a watchdog group that watches GOP media outlets. Do you even know what a think tank is? They don't give their own opinions and analysis on anything, all they do is show clips off Fox News and some other places and show them lying about something. That's cranky?
@ProgressiveAudio They give plenty of own opinions in the hit pieces they put out. Yes, because sometimes, and I've seen it a lot of times already, they don't even show people lying, they get their facts wrong. Like the deficit reduction claim for the health care bill, which was smoke and mirrors accounting. That's cranky.
They blamed Andrew Breitart for going after Sherrod when he went after NAACP. That was very cranky.
@Visfen You're so far to the right any stance not yours is a liberal conspiracy. "So there's no lib bias on media matters? Read the wiki article! It's a PROGRESSIVE media watchdog." What the fuck are you going about? I never said people don't have a bias, I clearly said the major media networks do have a bias. Is your two neurons just exploding by the concept MSNBC is not a liberal network? I guess that's destroying your Glenn Beck simplistic worldview there. Dipshit.
@ProgressiveAudio What liberal conspiracy? I haven't said there's a liberal conspiracy. You've said there is a coporate conspiracy but you haven't even referred to what it consist of. I have said there is a political bias and that MSNBC is the liberal network, Fox the republican, the rest are the democratic network the bluedog-networks.
Yes, because everyone who isn't a progressive that reads media matters is in love with Glenn Beck. Grow up.
@Visfen "It's seriously cranky, it's a "news"-site I don't even bother with anymore because they post such nonsensical drivel." It's not a news site, they don't post any news. Do you even know what I'm talking about? I think you're just assuming I'm talking of something and you're giving your copy and past responses to it.
@ProgressiveAudio Saying you "monitor" people or that you're a "watchdog" lends you credibility from separating yourself from most other news-outlets, but it's still just a news-site. Which does nothing but political hitjobs, that they get wrong, like all the time because they do shitty reporting.
@Visfen "Saying you "monitor" people or that you're a "watchdog" lends you credibility from separating yourself from most other news-outlets" Oh dear, now you're paranoid about watchdog groups :p. Let me guess, Internal Affairs is evil then. "Which does nothing but political hitjobs," Well yes but not because they expose lies, but because they selectively do it. They only do it to GOP outlets, when they should do it to the Democrat ones too.
@Visfen "that they get wrong, like all the time because they do shitty reporting." They don't do reporting though, they just factcheck the shitty reporting of Fox News. Let me guess, LiberalViewer is a reporter to you
@Visfen "LiberalViewer is basically youtube's version of mediamatters." Well duh. "Yes, I guess he is a reporter in a sense." He is? All he does is mediamatters on a youtube format, he doesn't report on anything, he just takes clips from fox news and says how they are full of shit.
In other cases their are those who live in another country for the benefits. There are some Chinese i've seen who believe China is the greatest in country in the World, but live in Canada or the US for the economy/benefits and so on. But if they happen to be born there in a rather native race, there are some who think other countries are simply better, either being fanboys or fangirls of another country. Such as some Americans saying Japan is the best country in the world, and so on.
straightd0pe, to me there are a lot of people who tend to be those self hating or inferior complexes people who believe another country is better than their own. This usually tends to happen if they are of a different ethnic, even if they are born in another Country. For example there are mexicans born in the US who still think Mexico is a better country, some of them, haven't even been there.
@OrdNaor As long as they (Seeds of peace") aren't like the Israeli "Art students" that ran back to Israel after 911, while opening kiosks and such here in America....Our ( the ( U.S.'s ) "mossad" has been watching all "students" from Israel very very closely post 911...and with good cause to do so.
@OrdNaor Then I can say that you hate anyone who doesn't practice Judaism or one who is a Goyim (non jew)? See how stupid your last remark looked and sounded? You are totally defeated son. Take Care. The End.
@OrdNaor Where do I claim to be a religious extremeist, and where did I call you a name kid? Or, is this more "brainwashed" hypocrisy by the "Nazi-zionists" in power in Israel? wake up kid.
@OrdNaor bb? netanyahu? lol Educate yourself kid. Stern Gang - which was termed " freedom fighters"? Why then, are Palestinians called " terrorists" when they are doing the same as what the stern gang and irgun were supposedly fighting for? Stern Gang (Zionist extremist organization),or Lehi, Zionist extremist organization in Palestine, founded in 1940 by Avraham Stern (1907–42) after a split in the right-wing underground movement Irgun Zvai Leumi.
Your defeated if you have to resort to name-calling like you have done.. I win - you and Zio-NAZI's LOSE !! Respect your elders son... your mommy and daddy should have taught you this much by now.. GOD BLESS AMERICA !! and MERRY CHRISTMAS!! ;)
Yes, and many of these deaths benefitted israel. No more blood for israel. Americans are waking up to this factIf the UN was "run" by arabs like you state....don't you think Israel wouldnt have statehood according to the 1948 agreement?
@OrdNaor So It's ok for Israel to commit Apartheid and Human Rights abuses because it has occured in the past? Should we have another holocaust because Hitler thought it was right in his mind? - This is what your reasoning sounds like when you try to equate was has happened elsewhere, in comparison to what Israel is doing ... your oblivious to reason.
@OrdNaor Stop side-stepping...wer'e talking about Israel's Illegal occupation of the Palestinian people. It's illegal according to the U.N. Resolutions- the same Resolutions that we went to war with Iraq Over ........
It's Illegal to the International Community of NATIONS Throughout the World.,...and it's ILLEGAL in the GENEVA CONVENTIONS....OH! but ISRAEL was "holocausted"...we shouldnt see these Blatant Human Right abuses by Israel?....
@OrdNaor Illegal occupation of another and taking over their lands- the Palestin ian's lands, is AGAINST the Geneva Conventions also, as well as being ILLEGAL in the International community. Get a grip kid, you need to stop being brainwashed and see the truths.
@OrdNaor You believe your biased beliefs...i'll stick with the truths. Look up "Rabbi's against Zionism" on youtube.. It shows Rabbi Weiss who also states that many thousands of Jews in Israel are against the "nazi-zionists" in Israel.
How else can you describe an Ideology (such as the zionists thinking) that believes by OCCUPYING the Palestinian's land (illegally), going against U.N. Resolutions, and also viewed as illegal in the INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY is right according to Talmud law?
This angrycanuck yahoo doesn't even recognize that corporations have vested interests in low-wage labor; he needs to address this afore-mentioned, simple fact.

This level of nationalism and intolerance is simply inexcusable. Xenophobia is an issue that as citizens of the world we need to confront. Great job spreading the truth man.
There's a name for this type--it's called Zionists (Zionism)...No - it's not the same zionists that believe in a peaceful state of being, wanting a normal existence in life......these are the zionist fanaticals that are against the peaceful people of Israel, who want control. Control over people, nations, Intellectual, and monetary institutions. All jews do not believe in ZIONISM..this is a falshood...there are millions of jews who disbelieve the fanaticism of zionism. In short zionism = nazism

In the US there's basically the democratic media, which is the mainstream, the liberal media which is MSNBC and the republican media which is Fox News. All in all I think you have to agree there is a left wing bias. But what you really have is a political bias that is suited after the two parties, which in term produces complete drivel in terms of factual reporting.
Like the moronic notion that somehow the left is anti-war, even though war has had bi-partisan support since after Eisenhower.

@Visfen Well I use the word liberal correctly, as in it means what is called libertarianism in the US economically and means social liberalism in the social sphere. What I'm pretty sure you mean is center-left causes, which I've never seen seriously promoted on there. I do see a lot of bashing of the Republican party on there, and 3 years out of 4 some tiny support for causes Democrats claim to champion and then abandon on election year. This to me is not "liberal" it's anti GOP.

@ProgressiveAudio It does not mean libertarianism, libertarianism is linked to classical liberalism, liberalism is the political third way between socialism and liberalism, that is social liberalism both in the social and economic sense of the word.

@Visfen "Switzerland system is more private, I rather have theirs than yours." Eh, not really, it's mostly based on private systems but heavily regulated by the government. It's like Hawaiis system but a bit stronger. It's a bismark system, it doesn't rely on the private systems being private, it relies on them being regulated by get this, the government.

@Visfen "The US system is not "completely private", to suggest that is laughable." I agree, slip of the tongue there. "% don't have access to care. " Hmm, I just checked PNHP and the number in 2009 was 50.7 million. When you say "5 percent" you're being misleading like someone on Fox News or MSNBC because out of a country of over 300 million, that's a lot. Typically 11,000 of those people die each year from lack of health care, fuck I could be those people if I'm not careful.

@ProgressiveAudio Well of those 50.7 million 30 million chose not to get care, but could afford it. People like Donald Trump or like you (that are young). Then there's about 5 million illegal immigrants. They don't get care in Sweden either (until later this year, new law).
I'm not being misleading, I'm using the more proper definition of uninsured - those that can't afford or don't have coverage but want it. (that are citizens)
And lots of people in the UK die in lines.

Yes, I know very much about the current health care reform. I wrote an article about it for a libertarian paper in Sweden.

No, getting views is not bias. If you don't report things people will actually listen to then what the hell is the point a media. Media should report the news people are interested in, that is their job, that is how they get views.
