The "Liberal" Media

It's all garbage from "both" sides. I put 'both' in quotes because ALL news networks are one entity jockeying for a particular market.It's not so much about right leaning or left leaning, it's about demographic and what the networks feel the opinion of their viewers are. Commercials provide the perfect proof. Watch the commercial spots on MTV, Comedy Central then Fox News. Not only is the news they get catered specifically to their assumed view points, the commercials target their assumed interests.Networks don't give a shit about right leaning and left leaning, they care about who's watching and try to guage what their opinions on issues may be. They then focus on bringing those stories to gain viewers.The media isn't "left" or "right", it's just a business using the tools of marketing to gain a big enough viewing audience for advertisers.- OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

I had an opportunity to meet Tucker Carlson on a radio show (long story on how we both ended up in the studio at the same time) and I got to listen to him talk and hang out casually. I had, at that time, only known him because of the John Stewart ass reaming he took. And I noticed, he really was sincere about his point of view. Him and the DJ were/are good friends and when they would go to commercial they would keep talking about the topic. Tucker didn't have to be "on" but he still maintained the same position. I thought when the DJ went off the air he would say, "Na I'm just fucking with you, I don't believe any of the shit I just said." But he didn't. And he was dressed conservative. Same duffy hair cut. Real fucking nerd.I wouldn't say Beck believes what comes out of his mouth, but I do believe Hannity, Limbaugh and O' Reilly believe every word. They just happen to be reallllly good at pushing the right buttons and saying it in a way that adds the shock value. I will say this, they are very, very good at what they do.I'd say 80% real, 20% acting. Glenn Beck I'd say is the other way around, 20/80. Yeah these guys I'd say 80/20, too. They're legit in their opinions.But there is also one fact to remember, that every talking head on TV is human and is also exposed to the same type of media that everyone else is exposed to. None of these guys have some secret information about how anything works, they're just as lead by the propaganda of left vs right as the general public. That's why those guys seem sincere, because they picked a side on an illusionary line.- Oni

I know right? With a society such as ours that's so accepting of peoples differences, it's a wonder why he would try to disassociate himself from the gentle religion of Islam. (Even though he's not since he wrote a book about it!!!)- Oni
