Re: some pics the media didn't show you
The first Tea Party in Washington was enormous but you missed that coverage, didn't you?
Not only did I not miss the coverage of the Tea Parties, I sought it out and rubbed my conservative friends' noses in it. It was awesome.

If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, and is in a group with other ducks, I'm betting it's a duck, even if it tries to honk like a goose.
What do ducks smell like?

Re: some pics
But I think you're correct that "nigger" is a possibility at 1:33. Then again, so is "neener". Or "wig herd".
Yeah, people say "wig herd" a lot.
This thread is becoming distressingly surreal.

Joke: What do you call a person who is winning an argument with a liberal"?
A figment of Faith's deranged imagination.

Calling him a Muslim is not racist.
Seriously, do you think that lunatics would be screaming about how Obama's a "half-breed muslin" if he was white?

Re: Does public radio have a liberal bias?
The vast majority of the traditional media folks come from only one side.
Is it any wonder that the other side feels there is a bias?
The vast majority of traditional scientists are evolutionists.
Is it any wonder that the other side feels there is a bias?
The whole job of a scientist is to find out accurate facts about science. When they notice that all creationist talking points are crap, then not only are they going to reject the talking points, they're going to think that if there was any merit at all to creationism they'd have some talking points that weren't crap.
The whole job of a political journalist is to find out accurate facts about politics. When they notice that (let's be fair) 95% of conservative talking points are crap, then not only are they going to reject the talking points, they're going to think that if there was any merit at all to conservatism they'd have some talking points that weren't crap.
This leaves you with non-"traditional" not-really-journalists like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, who don't feel any obligation to find out the facts and probably wouldn't be able to if they wanted to --- the Duanes Gish and Kents Hovind of the media.

Nice analogy, but it fails miserably.
Do say why.
This would be true if those political journalists were unbiased. Clearly they are not. 80% or more of them vote Democrat and are well left of center. The mainstream media culture as a whole is left of center.
And 99% or more of archaeologists are old-Earthers. Does that mean that the profession is biased and that we should ignore what you have to say until 50% of you are YECs?
Or does it rather indicate that people who go digging for facts will find them?
Perhaps those of you who also are left of center assume that your's is the only correct position, and that you are mainstream. This is not accurate.
"Perhaps those of you who are old-Earthers assume that yours is the only correct position, and that you are mainstream. This is not accurate."
Rightism is sustained by a set of factual inaccuracies which do not stand up to scrutiny. The job of a political journalist is to scrutinize those precise facts. Which way are they going to vote?

Re: Don't Say Gay Bill - article showing left bias
character assassination is all the left has when confronted by evidence in a logical fashion, you should know this by now
That is mere conjecture. For all you know, if "confronted with evidence in a logical fashion" we'd turn green and explode. Who can say?
