Even were that true (which I dispute) my statement stands. Joel Send a noteboard - 09/02/2010 09:50:36 AM
They really don't even go to much effort to hide it. Sorry that is a simple fact. You always refute my statement with some actual fact but until then you really are simply in denial. Their anchors are liberal and their reporting is liberal. Your claim that it would be against their best interest would hold some merit if not for the fact that republicans have repeatedly attempted to cut their funding and failed.

Oh, have they now? When's the last time you saw Bill Moyers on TV? Have you heard that the News Hour will soon be "the News Half Hour"? Hell, Bush had a member of the FCC resign in protest because of what the guy appointed to run it was pulling. I've very seldom heard any editorializing on the News Hour or Washington Week; the former confines its reporters almost exclusively to facts and when they have a panel discussion they take pains to ensure all sides of an issue are represented (I tend to not like panel discussions though because representing all biased perspectives doesn't equal an objective one. ) The latter tends to delve into partisan views because it's JUST politics, but it's usually in the form of "this is what the Democrats say they're trying and expect and this is what the Republicans say they're trying to do and expect. "

Even so. Joel - 05/02/2010 05:45:54 AM 469 Views
Like the NYT? random thoughts - 05/02/2010 02:12:36 PM 502 Views
I don't believe the Times has ever conceded bias. Joel - 05/02/2010 06:03:02 PM 524 Views
and neither does Fox so I am not sure that matters random thoughts - 05/02/2010 06:40:15 PM 566 Views

PBS is biased random thoughts - 05/02/2010 07:21:14 PM 470 Views
You're entitled to believe that. Joel - 05/02/2010 07:31:07 PM 600 Views
PBS has an obvious yet undeclared bias so does NPR random thoughts - 09/02/2010 04:47:53 AM 433 Views
Even were that true (which I dispute) my statement stands. Joel - 09/02/2010 09:50:36 AM 546 Views
so they wouldn't be biased becuas it could hurt them but you still argue republicans attack them random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:19:53 PM 507 Views
Sometimes the truth hurts, though it doesn't hurt PBS. Joel - 10/02/2010 10:15:13 AM 592 Views
We have been for some time. Joel - 02/02/2010 03:31:10 AM 497 Views
I don't think that's the case Isaac - 03/02/2010 02:59:50 PM 477 Views
Universal healthcare was the primary plank in Clintons '92 platform. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:02:18 AM 461 Views
That does not mean his bare plurality was an endorsement of National Healthcare Isaac - 04/02/2010 02:09:32 PM 589 Views
I don't think he won by default, and that was his primary issue. Joel - 05/02/2010 08:09:50 AM 602 Views

Probably time to go into 'summary mode' Isaac - 08/02/2010 07:34:55 PM 581 Views
Again, we're back to "how would you prefer to do it?" Joel - 09/02/2010 09:42:51 AM 605 Views
Any way that works, which currently probably is none Isaac - 09/02/2010 06:12:41 PM 544 Views
I think HDI is more accurate than nothing, though it certainly needs some fine tuning. Joel - 10/02/2010 11:03:08 AM 595 Views
Sorry for the delay... Isaac - 12/02/2010 11:40:21 PM 685 Views

Don't speak in absolutes and I won't read absolutes. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:08:43 AM 470 Views
Some qualifiers can be left unsaid for a clearer message. Or better delivery AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 10:26:56 AM 453 Views
Qualifiers are clarifying by nature. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:49:06 AM 586 Views
huh. That does make sense. I know malpractice is a big weight on the the system in the US. AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 11:58:37 AM 422 Views
Perhaps, but it's hardly the greatest weight, or even in the top three, IMHO. Joel - 05/02/2010 05:44:49 AM 573 Views
