Is the Tea Party Over?

Opinion posted in a media is still part of news and Vendor is only vending, like attacking that little kid at the street with the funny hat just because your team lost the other day

Sorry but opinions are not news. You might as well try to claim that comic section is news as well.

So what would you know? You're sitting in a former Soviet satellite country knowing nothing about how a free society operates and you presume to say crap like that?

Right, former Soviet satelite

If your ability to ases biased from non-biased media news and opinions is the same as your knowledge of history than you're the one talking nonsense on this thread

And it's tough in these opresive Slovenian regime

I'm only allowed to publicly critisise my goverment 5000 times a day or less. Anything more than that and I get a verbal warning from a cop

I'm so oppresed I want to emigrate to the nearest pub

So you resent people talking inaccurately about your country? Then perhaps you ought to see how that applies to you talk about ours.

The New York Times is biased. Their Opinion page is even more biased. Simple as. You can snivel and joke all you want but it isn't going to change that simple fact.

Not especially. Their only value is as a counterpoint to the other major media outlets. If they say the answer is negative 5 and ABC/NBC/CBS/etc say it's positive 5 then you can pretty much bet the true answer is zero.

Best way of describing Fox in relation to other American news outlets I've heard. I'd like to think that the BBC is impartial...but I've seen bias creeping in here and there, it's not as bad as ITV or Sky...but it's slipping.
Pretty soon the only way to get the news first hand without any editorial bias creeping in will be to be there yourself. If it's not already like that already.

I love to trash fox, but MSNBC is just as bad for the same reasons.
(I hope I word this correctly)
There seems to be a tendency to promote an opposition amongst the big medias. They seem to want to cater to the beliefs of their viewers, rather than reporting it in a objective a neutral way.

Both are guilty and are only shilling for their breadmaker of choice (advertising revenue, and political exclusives)
