I often hear many people on the left mock those of us on the right whenever the topic of the media is brought up. As many of you already know the right, in general, does believe the media is predominately left. This of course is completely dismissed by those on the left and they typically follow up with insulting, snide remarks about Fox News.
For myself, I do believe most of the people who work in mainstream are certainly left of center. We all have a bias and those in the media are no different.
Fox News is but ONE station and they are not as conservative or right as many on the left would like to imagine. In fact, it's quite clear those who criticize Fox never watch the station. I find that quite odd. It's almost impossible to get an explanation from them or an example of how specifically Fox is deceitful. The watchdog sites for Fox are outrageous. They distort a lot of information but, they also seem to ignore that the other stations like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and NBC all make mistakes as well. We need to remember that initial reports are almost never fully accurate and news stations are looking for ratings; they want to be the first to report. Perhaps this rush to get on is a bit irresponsible but, I do not feel it's intentional.
This blog right here, my very own blog, I have made mistakes. I wish I could say otherwise but, I've rushed to get a story on or I missed something that I didn't notice before. I try to change any of my older articles if I happen to remember but, that's not always the case.
The point is, we all make mistakes and no news station is above doing so but, to suggest that one station is lying while simultaneously suggesting the other stations are above the fray - well that's just naive.
I think I might turn this into a series but, for now I just wanted to pointed out an example of media bias. Please understand that when the right is saying the media is left it is precisely because we continually witness the media distort or hide information from the public. Is this done on purpose or accident? Well, again, I don't know that it's on purpose. I think they just have a bias that seems to impede them from digging further and when you couple that with strong deadlines it's hard to come out with a truly objective story.
This video shows Pelosi sounding like a complete idiot. I want you to note that the mainstream media would never show this type of video to their audience. However, if this were Sarah Palin, this would have been shown repeatedly and of course Saturday Night Live would have had Tina Fey or whoever is playing Sarah Palin these days mocking Palin. Talk shows on MSNBC would cover this for their full-hour programs and we could expect to hear about it from time to time for over a year - maybe even more!
Yet another example of the media clearly playing favorites.
Why does the right say the media is left? Obviously because of the things like this.
Is the media left? You decide and comment below.

FOX News Reporter Gets Hit During Live Broadcast From Wisconsin
FOX News Reporter Gets Hit During Live Broadcast From Wisconsin
Click link for video and watch the animals.
Unbelievable.
This only further proves the point that these unions are made up of vicious animals. I would fire every last one of them. There are plenty of people that would do their jobs, and most likely do a much better job and not act like savage animals.
These people make me more and more disgusted each day.

Megyn Kelly Takes On Milwaukee Teachers Union President
Oh, wow...I love her! Megyn is not only smart but, she's absolutely beautiful.
This is a really great interview. Megyn asks some great questions, and does well at challenging this president.
This is how real news should be. Hard questions. This is why Fox News kicks every other station's ass in the ratings. Oh sure, you liberals can continue to bash Fox, call them liars without so much as offering ONE example, but how funny is it that ONE station is such a threat to your entire establishment?

MSNBC Making Up the News Again
Once again we witness MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, trying desperately to understand world politics but as usual, when she can't understand something, she just provides insults to others covering the news. Of course, you know she's insulting Fox News.
What would 24 hours look like without MSNBC insulting and attacking the network that kicks their asses all the way up and down the playground on a daily basis? Like the little kid that gets picked last in gym class, MSNBC continues to create news by slinging mud, rather than trying to put in the hard time to work out and be strong.
Why bother trying to lead by example? If that's the problem that MSNBC has with Fox, you would think that their plans for their news would be actual news, right? No. Instead, they just watch their competitors and do their best to attack, creating stories.
One thing is for sure, it does provide the world comedy and for that I'm grateful. Enjoy.

Obama Moves To The Center - Liberals Implode
It appears as though Obama has moved towards the center by arguing for Bush tax-cuts and, asking Clinton to help provide a case for his decision to work with Republicans concerning taxes.
So what's really going on here? Has Obama fundamentally changed? Is he waking up and realizing that taxing people to death - literally, will cripple the economy further? Or, is he simply looking to move to the center, to throw moderates and conservatives a bone, in order to try and secure his re-election?
Watch Fox News Sunday:

CAIR Debates Juan Williams
More on Juan's response to his firing:
"It's not a bigoted statement,” he told Fox News in an interview the cable news network ran throughout the day. “In fact, in the course of this conversation with Bill O'Reilly, I said we have an obligation as Americans to be careful to protect the constitutional rights of everyone in our country and to make sure that we don't have any outbreak of bigotry. But that there's a reality. You cannot ignore what happened on 9/11, and you cannot ignore the connection to Islamic radicalism, and you can't ignore the fact of what has even recently been said in court with regard to this is the first drop of blood in a Muslim war in America."

The Top 3 Talking Points Liberals/Democrats Won't Shut Up About
I like to argue. It's no secret. I'm notorious for waging wars with liberals. Inevitably, I have noticed a pattern with them recently. There seem to be three main points that they just cannot get enough of trying to make. I'm not sure if it's directly from Democrat talking point memos or, if it's coming from their various news sources like The Huffington Post, The Daily Kos, ect. I'm not sure but, it's very consistent, which leads me to believe it's most likely coming from a main source.
It doesn't matter what the topic is. It can be about immigration, the economy, abortion, gun control, health care, the war, ect. these three talking points WILL be brought up. So, let's discuss them, shall we?
1) Sarah Palin. I am pretty baffled by this on. Sarah Palin is best known for being asked to be John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential election. The pair did not win. Sarah Palin also stepped down from her gubernatorial position in Alaska. She has since been seen in the media at major Tea Party functions.
Apparently this is all too much for the liberals. There's something about her that they just can't seem to handle. I haven't been able to pin any of them down on why they are obsessed with bringing her into the discussion but, they seem to label anyone that is conservative as an individual that is stupid, "just like Sarah Palin."
The problem is, she's really not a part of the political scene anymore. Sure, she has spoken at Tea Party functions but, is that really such a threat to the American Republic that liberals have to shrill the way they do over her? No. I think it's pure paranoia. I also think they are intimidated by an attractive woman being in politics. For years, their party has only been able to come up with woman like Nancy Pelosi, who lack in the aesthetically pleasing department.
Bottom line, Sarah hasn't announced running for any future political positions, nor is she currently holding an active political office. Their point is mute and only comes from hatred, due to mommy issues.
2) Fox News. The "I-think-I'm-clever-and-I-hope-you-haven't-noticed-that-other-liberals-have-been-doing-this-for-years" liberal will write, "Faux News." This is somehow supposed to show the conservative reader how witty and free-thinking they are. Irony aside, it's clear that none of them actually have taken the time to watch Fox News.
The liberal will usually bring this up telling you, the conservative, that your opinions come directly from "Faux News," who are owned and operated by the Republican party. They also like to make note of how Fox is not "fair and balanced" yet, somehow CNN and the other alphabet channels are?
The way to shoot this one down is pointing out the fact that they are clearly the ones getting information from someone else because, if they actually watched Fox News, they would know it's not as conservative as they imagine it to be. Furthermore, I always ask them what is so threatening about mentioning the "other side" because, that is what Fox does. They at least try to offer the news from a different mind frame, something the other main stream media outlets never entertain.
Again, pure paranoia. What is it that liberals find so horrible about the news offering a different opinion, one that is not lock in step with theirs? This argument is so easy to refute because, you have all the other stations that don't even attempt to give conservative angles. One station should hardly be a threat to their almost media monopoly. I've never had a liberal begin to answer or, try and explain this.
3) It's Bush's fault. So, now we come to the most absurd but, in the liberal's mind, a genius observation. Well, I don't think anyone is going to argue that Bush did some things that may not have been the best for the country. I think conservatives have been quite critical of him.
Liberals like to mention the tax cuts but, they fail when they accuse them of being something bad or horrible for this country. First, the tax cuts kept the country from going further in recession. Yes, Bush inherited a recession. That is just ONE aspect of the economy. The problem was never the tax cuts. The problem was and, still is spending. Both Bush/Republicans and Democrats have equal blame in this department. To put everything on Bush because, he was trying to reach out across the aisle is absurd.
We had 8 years of Clinton, who absolutely ignored terrorism from the Muslim world. This inaction, inevitably led up to 9/11. I didn't hear these people blaming Clinton. Bush had been in office for 9 months. There were folks that had made the point that Clinton didn't go after Bin Laden, after the '93 WTC bombing. It was a valid point but, no one allowed for passing the blame on Clinton.
Now, these SAME people make the argument that Obama just can't fix in two years what Bush did for 8. Well, isn't that funny? Bush couldn't fix in 9 months what Clinton did to destroy this country in 8 as well. No, what was good for Bush then, is good for Obama now and, there is no blaming Bush when you have Obama tripling the size of our deficit. This is HIS economy now.
I hope the democrats will get the memo that these points are simply useless and, usually have nothing to do with the topics you find yourself talking about with them. I'm not holding my breath. For some reason, whenever a liberal brings up these points, you can tell they feel so intelligent, and so superior.
The sad reality is, many of them don't know much about the issues, and this is why they resort to these irrelevant points. I just wish they wouldn't vote.
