    Default The Myth of the 'Liberal Media'

    To assert that the media is 'liberal leaning', as many on the right do, is to assert a complete myth.

    Look at the media in the UK:

    Newspapers

    Right Leaning:

    The Times
    The Sunday Times (Sunday Only)
    The Financial Times
    The Daily Mail
    Mail on Sunday (Sunday Only)
    The Daily Express
    Sunday Express (Sunday Only)
    The Telegraph
    Sunday Telegraph (Sunday Only)
    The Sun
    The News of the World (Until Last Sunday)
    The Star (including the Sunday Star)

    Left Leaning:

    The Guardian
    The Observer (Sunday Only)
    The Mirror
    The Independent
    Independent on Sunday (Sunday Only)


    TV Media


    Right Leaning

    Sky TV
    ITV

    Independent

    Channel 4
    BBC (As a RWer and they say it is left wing, ask a LWer and they say it is right wing - best way to know it is in the middle.)

    The media in the UK has a clear Right Wing agenda!
    Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.

    You gentlemen forget that objectivity is considered a liberal bias by right wingers.

    Which is why so many more journalists identify themselves as Republican rather than Democrat.

    Great examples of right leaning media.... NY Times, CNBC, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, LA Times,

    Great examples of left leaning media.... Fox

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    Ah, been reading Legion's anti-American rants, have we? Also, I don't even recall you mentioning me at all in your comment, granted of course, that most of your comments are totally incomprehensible. If the journalists are stupid, but the Repubs are anti-education, only one consequence can be inferred from that mess of a statement...

    as you are posing as a girl (I'm asuming your three dork or watermark) you must be confused.
    so the fact that I'm implying they are posing as liberal to be viewed as smart would be lost on you gerber baby.

    LOLZ, is that what you meant to say? I thought you just called them all idiots for choosing that occupation. Also, I don't see why a few people are claiming that I am "posing as a woman." Did anyone here actually think I was the real beauty from Richland? If I called myself Optimus Prime, would people here claim I'm pretending to be an Autobot and get all pissy about it, as well?

    I'm an old dude, very old. I can't keep track of posters. I thought you were one of the young guy's who change their handle as often as Obama changes plans. My bad

    The media in the UK has a clear Right Wing agenda!

    You may be very right about the media in the UK.....

    To assert the media in the US is anything but left leaning is to disbelieve what the US media itself admits....the freely admit to being liberal, left leaning and Democrat voting....

    Its undeniable....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
