Oh that's absolute bull****. I'm sure this comes from the same school of thought that has you believe Obama is a foreign terrorist. News agencies need to make money the same as any other business. A huge chunk of revenue comes from advertisers. It has no effect whatsoever on what is reported on or how. The editor makes those decisions completely separately from the advertisers, it's not even in the same department as the editorial department.

Yes, I do think it's pure idiocy, just as I think everything typed in that f*cking font of yours is pure idiocy.

Sorry about the font ~ take it up with RT, who approved it before i ever started using it.

And now, for a link to absolutely put paid to your FALSE claim (sans refs, i might add) that neither advertisers, nor owners (and that was part of the point) have any effect whatsoever on what is reported and how:

Obama And His Silly White Women Behind Him

Media Bias Basics

So, i guess most folks have noticed bias on the part of our news.

Besides that paper was obviously a joke, it wasn't ment to be taken at face value.

I approved what?

I approved no such thing. These fonts were in place before I even joined.
If it was up to me I'd disable the option...they make the place look like a cartoon comic strip.

you know how you know changing your font is a bad idea?


No one else does it.

Assuming you're right, which you're not, WELCOME TO THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM YOU CONSERVATIVES ARE HAPPY TO SUPPORT!

It's only okay if they exploit the system for things she's in favor of I think.

Kind of like the Abortion\Death Penalty issue where both sides only see it as murder if the other side is in favor of it.

maybe the most disturbing fact about conservatives is that they throw the words "socialism"/"socialist" around more than anyone, yet without knowing what they mean.

Son of JayJamJah

yeah that's almost as bad as when someone makes a gross over generalization based on a disputable technicality.

which is...

just because i don't take into consideration every single conservative's beliefs and statements, does not mean i make gross generalizations.
i speak in relation to what goes on around me, in my environment, and in no way seek to define entire sets of people.
so please don't try to assert you're supposed higher level of objectivity and "wisdom" when refering to my posts, you're opinion of my opinion is worthless to anyone with cognitive reasoning.
