More Evidence the Media is Biased

from JoeUser Forums
Who are the real bigots? Right-wingers? Red state constituents? I think not. Below I have cited comments made by White House Bureau Chief Helen Thomas, now a syndicated columnist with Hearst.

Asked about the election result, the sharp-tongued reporter simply put her hand on her face and said, "My God, the man is a fascist -- a fascist, I tell you."

She warned that Bush's victory will mean one thing: more war. She expects Iran to be next.

In reference to Condoleezza Rice's nomination:
"I tell you, the women is a monster, a monster, a monster," she kept saying.

Thomas explained that the national security adviser had lied about the Iraq war and "thousands had died."

"The lady is a goddamn liar," Thomas said, adding that such prevaricators were commonplace in the Bush White House.

With such hate-filled rhetoric, do you think her reporting is objective? I highly doubt it! Now, who uses labels and hate speech?

She's a perfect example of what's wrong with mainstream reporters.


How true...how true!

What amazes me here is the fact that everybody gets riled up when someone says politicans and staff do not lie to the american public on a repeated basis. Well guess what folks...THEY DO!

Of that, I will not argue.  However, the debate is on the amount of lies told.  I think the public, after Clinton and his finger wagging, assume that everything said is a lie.  And that I will debate you on.

Just because the sleeze meister was a pathological liar, does not mean every politician lies all the time.  Just some of them.  And so far, no one has been able to catch Bush in anything but mangled speeches, and incorrect intel.  No lies.

i can tell you the exact day when the american people began assuming everything said was a lie.  or i can let merle haggard tell you if youd prefer.  remember a song he recorded entitled 'are the good times really over' ? musta been in 80 or 81.   


I wish coke was still cola,
And a joint was a bad place to be.
And it was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV.

merle aint springsteen (and vice versa) and hes referring to the summer of 1973, specifically august 17, 1973.

Not sure why you picked that date, but you are wrong.  We Believed both Carter and Ford in 76, and then again in 80 (with Reagan).  And to my knowledge, they did keep most of their promises, and did not lie to us.  Dont know where you were in 73, but I was in Germany.  On the Frankfurt Post.

oops  sorry that shoulda been august 15 73...the date of nixons 2nd watergate speech in which he assured the country


 I had no prior knowledge of the Watergate break-in; I neither took part in nor knew about any of the subsequent coverup activities; I neither authorized nor encouraged subordinates to engage in illegal or improper campaign tactics.


That was and that is the simple truth


you may have believed carter and reagan but summer of 73 is when the standards changed. the press no longer looked the other way, the cia was reeled in, the fbi stopped making enemies lists, etc etc

AH!  Thank you for the correction.  And I will agree with you to a point.  That was when the press stopped writing news, and started making it.  Most people continued to believe after that point.  But I think it was the wagging finger that has made most pure skeptics.  Even those who defend Clinton, do not defend that episode.
