 Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 4:30 am Post subject: Media Bias and the Universal Leftist Agenda |
 |
|
Leftists (libs, commies, socialists, democrats...) have a strangle-hold on our media. This is a fact.
Leftists do not see distinctions of nationality, race, or denomination. They see themselves as part of a greater whole, something they call "humanity". They go even further and label themselves as "living beings", thus including themselves in the same category as otters, crustaceons and ferral dogs. This is the lens through which they see the world; they do not see it as it truly is.
Back during World War II, victories over the Nazis and Japanese were displayed proudly in newspapers. Today there is no such awknowledgement of the progress being made in the Iraq War. All we see are the death tolls of our troops, the death tolls of civilians, reports of massacres carried out by battered troops. What has changed since then? I'll tell you what: a radical movement to the left in those who control out media. If the media was controlled by the companies who have a vested interest in a positive public opinion of the war, then we would be seeing the the absolute truth of how things really are going on over there.
Fox News is a step in the right direction, but it is only a drop in the bucket; Groups like national public radio, which recieve government funding to spout their propaganda over the airwaves should be shut down and restocked with reporters and writers selected by the administration. Papers like the New York Times, which leak vital government secrets should also be shut down. Secrecy is a weapon agaist Terrorism (our enemy), and when that weapon is comprimised, it is an act of Treason against The United States Of America.
I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how this has been allowed to happen? How have these elitists gained total control over our media? |

The difference between Albert_Alligator and me is that I'm not afraid to say the things he really wants to.
But no, I'm not him. This is typical of leftist thought patterns: how could there be more than one of us? Well, I have news for you, We're the majority. |

Leftist trash-news artists are claiming that the media is being increasingly controlled by corporations; I argue, how is this a bad thing? Corporations have more money and more resources than you average angry, leftists blogger. They can get you more news, and better news, and they will. What incentive do they have not to?
This is all part of the Universal Leftist Agenda to discredit the time-testing and proven methods of a Capitalist Economy. There's more math behind Capitalism than there is socialism or communism; Marx was simply a philosopher and semanticist. He thought in words, and manipulated them for his needs, while great minds like John Nash and Adam Smith and used mathematics to prove their points. Economics has a long history of complicated mathematics that only a few very, very smart people can understand (not including me, BTW), but I trust the layman's translations of these mathematics.

Troll baiting can be fun, but only when trolls somehow get suckered into a discussion. It is a difficult thing to achieve, however.
So, just d0n+ f33d t3h +r0||z!!!!111!

No. Your views are just unpalatable.

Thanks for those biting counter-examples. My argument is in shambles.
Anyway, thisi s typical of the left: throwing out wild accusations and propganda. I'm really not surprised at all at your arrogance. |

It is not a 'bad' thing as such, however it is not desirable. Corporations act in self interest, and have enough power and finances to quell or discredit opposing viewpoints. People are free to make up their minds about the information they receive, however, there are few people exercising that option. Jus like their OS, they want their ideology well set up and spoon fed.
| neocon101 wrote: | Corporations have more money and more resources than you average angry, leftists blogger. They can get you more news, and better news, and they will. What incentive do they have not to?
|
Sadly, they play a major role in shaping public opinion. I wish it weren't the case, but it is. You have papers and other media sensationalising cases in which the public already pass judgements before a trial is even completed. People see a report and aparticularly graphic verbal recreation of a crime, and immediately start calling for the head of the accused.
Besides, what do you have against bloggers? Nobody forces you to consider their views. Leave them be.

That is bollocks.

I don't know if your claim is true. But pure capitalism does not work. Just like pure socialism does not work. In fact, there are no countries in the world that practice extreme capitalism or socialism.

No. Economics is not complicated. It is just riddled with a lot of details that the economists hope the laymen will miss. Economics is simply an analysis of the value of products and services. Try reading the business page of a newspaper sometime. Most of the stuff reported is speculation rather than actual analysis.

Note the almost. But I think he's certainly a contender for the f.g.o. Heavyweight Nutty Rightwinger belt. How do you respond? |

You know, when someone states "this is a fact" without backing it up, I stop reading right there. Goodbye. |

No its not, try taking an economics course some time.
And for the last time commies/socialists, VALUE IS SUBJECTIVE!
Nothing has some "magical" value characteristic, value is completely subjective, and THATS why communism failed, and always will, its impossible for the government to correctly allocate resources.

Ah, satire is at it's best when you can't really tell if it's serious or not. Good job!

I did have Finance Management as a subject as I am an Industrial Engineer. It is not complicated. It is just extremely tedious.

I never said that value of anything is absolute and magically defined. And I am not a communist or a socialist. People do exist who do not subscribe to philosophies as a whole, you know.
