One method of checking for potential bias is a simple poll to find out how many university professors are Republicans and how many are Democrats. You should be able to find the figures on the web.
How does this show bias?

Re: some pics the media didn't show you
Faith it isn't even worth pointing out your lack of perception or reality. No matter what kind of evidence you are given for any subject, you will ignore it and continue to live in your world of fantasy.
All I will say is all of these gatherings were covered quite well by the media and the numbers were underwhelming at best.
Nice of you to claim that sitting members of Congress are lying. Teapartiers have shown extreme racism. One of the teapartier leaders claims there is no racism, but there is a photo of him with a sign that says "niggar". He was to stupid to realize it we spelled wrong Do you want me to find the pic for you and his interview denying racism?

Re: some pics the media didn't show you
Faith do you truly believe that one video caught everything. Can you hear everyone?It shows your detachment from reality that you believe this video is in any way definitive.

Would really like to see that video. Link?
Why? You will just deny reality or make some sort of excuse.

Re: some pics the media didn't show you
Here is one I found in 2 mins of searching. At 1:36 of the video on this page the tern "nigger" can clearly be heard.
Link
Also, it looks like the GOP and Teabagger leaders are throwing the racists under the bus. Faith does it make any difference to you if the leaders of th GOP and the Teapartiers admit racist and homophobic slurs were used? Or will you continue to deny reality?
quote:
UPDATE#1: Republican Party leaders and Tea Party protest organizers have finally come out and condemned the racial and homophobic slurs hurled at black and a gay lawmaker by some of the health care demonstrators Saturday at the Capitol. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, during an appearance Sunday morning on NBC, called the actions by some protesters "reprehensible" and said that they were isolated incidents that shouldn't reflect on Tea Party participants as a whole. Amy Kremer, coordinator of the Tea Party Express, said, "I absolutely think it's isolated," Kremer told Fox News on Sunday. "It's disgraceful and the people in this movement won't tolerate it because that's not what we're about."

Re: some pics the media didn't show you
Thats right because since their signs were so racist they certainly wouldn't say anything that was racist.

I am willing to admit that it might not be nigger. It may be another word. There have been many people that have stated they heard nigger. Are you saying they are liars.? Are you saying John Lewis is a liar? Do you claim all the media is lying? Even after John Boehner and leaders of the tea party movement are admitting that racial and homophobic slurs were yelled? Where is the bias? The media reported what they heard and what members of congress stated they heard.
You're acting like its common knowledge that the teabaggers said nigger.
Well since they had racist slogans on signs, is it such a stretch? Go on defend there signs. Tell me how it is so ridiculous to entertain the thought that a person with a racist sign would yell something racist.
Instead of actually saying it, you slyly imply you think I am an asshole, because I do not agree with you. Why don't you grow a pair and just call me an asshole in thread again. Instead you point to a post on another thread. Again I disagree with you so I am an asshole? If you don't like what I say or how I say it, just ignore me or shut up. If you can't add to the discourse then keep your lame personal attacks to yourself.
And the hypocrisy of telling her that she's detached from reality This should answer some of your questions here: Message 299
Do you truly believe there is a liberal media conspiracy? Please, please show me how the media is some sort of liberal bastion. Give me some evidence for this conspiracy. If you believe in a liberal media conspiracy you too are detached from reality.
What lameass thing are you going to jump all over me for next? I can always be sure if I say something you are going to be right there trying to stir shit up.

Re: some pics the media didn't show you
y your definition I am a Christian because my parents were even though I don't believe in God. Is this true? Am I a Christian?
Great. You mean I am a Catholic? But my mother converted to Catholicism, so does that put a twist on it?

Re: WOW!!!
and practiced Islam as a child.
Evidence please.
the point is that he denies ANY Muslim background at all
Do you mean he has denied his father, who was an atheist? Please provide evidence to back this assertion. How you will support this should be interesting.
I was explaining the thinking behind the sign to show that it isn't racist.
So there was no prejudice or bias in the sign? Wow!!

Liberal media at work again
quote:
While Obama went to Besuki, a mostly Muslim school, for less than a year, he spent most of his four years in Indonesia studying at Santo Fransiskus Asisi, a Roman Catholic school run at the time by a stern Dutch priest. Classes began and ended each day with Christian prayers.
Source
Doesn't the stupid media realize that he only went to the Catholic school to hide his moslemness? He has bean planning to fool the American public since he was in the womb. Why does the media continue to abet this deception of his?

Re: Does public radio have a liberal bias?
quote:
Now, I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32 percent approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality". And reality has a well-known liberal bias ... Sir, pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half empty,[...] because 32 percent means it's two-thirds empty. There's still some liquid in that glass, is my point. But I wouldn't drink it. The last third is usually backwash.
