Reply #14: I'll bite. Which major media outlet openly opposed the Iraq invasion? [View All]

And by opposing the invasion- I mean they had broadcasters opposing the war- just like like they broadcasters who were openly for it. I dont remember that balance on any networks.

2nd Question. Name a false story in the major media that helped Democrats and hurt Republicans. I can name false stories that hurt DEMS and help Republicans all night.

I cant prove if they are "plotting," but the level of ouright false information that helps conservatives and hurts everyone else seems way beyond coincidence at this point.

Okay- so the media at large supported the war and allowed Bush to lie about it due to patriotism and post 9/11 fear- so the media allowed fake news about Swiftboat vets because of 9/11 and patriotism too?

False media that helps Republicans and hurts Liberals has many excuses and explanations, but those excuses dont seem to account for it happening over and over- and the excuse changes every time yet another example is presented. Sometime it's "bad reporting"- sometimes it's a variation of "but the country supported Bush at the time- what were we supposed to say?"

When a conservative complains of media bias, they usually are speaking of facts that happen to make Republicans look bad- when a Liberal complains of media bias, they are usually complaining about false information-so the "both sides claim bias" explanation desnt quite wash either.

"I don't want to denigrate Kerry," Redstone said, "but from a Viacom standpoint, the election of a Republican administration is a better deal. Because the Republican administration has stood for many things we believe in, deregulation and so on. The Democrats are not bad people. ... But from a Viacom standpoint, we believe the election of a Republican administration is better for our company."

Any mega-media outlets like Viacom claiming a "better deal" with DEMS?
