Re: Book: Liberal Media Distorts News Bias
Bias, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. A left-wingnut will see Obama as centrist to right leaning. A right-wingut will see him as leftist. 250 years ago, the idea of universal suffrage was extremely leftist, now it's only the looniest righties who oppose it.
By the way, do you have anything to say about the topic of this thread, namely that Fox news lies? Does the book you mention discuss Fox news lies?
Surely you condemn lies, even (or perhaps especially) when used to prop up an ideology that you agree with.

Re: Book: Liberal Media Distorts News Bias
Pray tell, why can't you simply answer yes or no? Why must you add a gratuitous tu quoque?

Re: que sera sera
You don't mean to say that AE made a factual claim, then ran away from questions about it, unable to back up what he said, do you?

Re: how much admin ass do you have to kiss around here?
Wonderful. Now all you have to do is present evidence that I was off topic.
Oh, I forgot. Evidence isn't your thing. Oh well.

And every time you say that, I will remind you that you refuse to accept my challenge in Message 117 to compare substance in posts, showing that it is indeed you who reigns supreme in substancelessness.

Would you like to play a game?
Then take me up on my challenge from Message 117.
What do you have to lose? We all know that even when I whip your sorry ass you'll still claim victory anyway. What's the downside for you, Sport?
{AbE}
You know what! I think I mighta just figured it out. You're kinda shy, aren't you little fella? You're reluctant to start. To get the ball rolling, I'll go ahead and post five of my completely substantive, insult free posts. Then you can see if you can find one of yours. That seems fair.
Message 10, First Amendment analysis of Georgia bible study law
Message 84, an analogy illustrating the importance of the ToE to biology
Message 14, Some misunderstandings about science, and terminology, a discussion of the differences between science and religion
Message 11, Giving ID its due, describing the germ of a good idea in Intelligent Design
Message 40, short discussion on why the absence of evidence is evidence of absence
Ok, you're up, Sport!
