Red always backs up his points. I think when it comes to media bias discussions most people are talking about mainstream news media. Mainly newspapers and TV networks. Throwing books and movies into the argument is a stretch.

We all know MOST of the media wanted Hussein as President. They're wish was granted.

SO IS MATTHEWS!!!:insane:

Hardball is a political talk show, Mattews is a political commentator. Just . . . like . . . Limbaugh. Double standards at play, as usual.

Matthews is an interviewer. He brings guests into his studio, and it is assumed they will be interviewed objectively. His views, however, are always easy to see. Limbaugh rarely has guests on his show. The content is his viewpoint, and there is never any pretense of objectivity. Unlike Matthews.

"Double standard"? Never get that from the left, do we?:nope:

Red has illustrated perfectly why I haven't bothered to go on a cut & paste mission and posted links to all of the studies PROVING a leftward bias. Red won't admit the obvious even when proven otherwise and even when the issue is something so blatantly obvious as liberal bias.

Translation: I'd rather make up facts and try to discredit Red than do research to actually back them up.

And you keep missing the obvious . . . I never said there was no liberal biases, only that there are also conservative biases and some media is fairly balanced and objective.

It wasn't when everyone was hammering on Michael Moore's film a few years ago or "W" this year. And if you are talking media, you simply can't ignore the talk radio networks which are overwhelmingly conservative and pervasive in America.

Come on, he's not Larry King or Matt Lauer. Hardball is not a news show or a celebrity interview show, it is a political opinion talk show and Matthews is the editorialist, just as O'Reilly is on his show.

From Wikipedia:

Hardball with Chris Matthews is a talk show on MSNBC broadcast weekdays at 5 and 7 PM hosted by Chris Matthews. It originally aired on now-defunct America's Talking (as "Politics with Chris Matthews") and later CNBC. The current title was derived from a book Matthews wrote in 1988, Hardball: How Politics is Played Told By One Who Knows the Game. Hardball is a talking-head style cable news show where the moderator advances opinions on a wide range of topics, focusing primarily on political issues. These issues are discussed with a panel of guests that usually consist of political analysts and sometimes include politicians.

I've learned from this thread what I've always known...

FOX News is fair & balanced. Everyone else was in the tank for Obama.

MRC is run by Brent Boswell, who I've seen on Fox News hundreds of times.

He's just to the right of Limbaugh.

No, Fox News was in the tank for McCain, and everyone else, Obama.

Shepard Smith from Foxnews on the Media and Obama

Via HotAir/Salon, here's Shepard Smith at his arch and acidic best, pushing back against the contention of comedian Nick DiPaolo that the media was "in the tank" for Barack Obama. I think you'll agree that Smith manages to make a lot of sense!

"Oh, please...the mainstream media reflected what was happening in this nation. It did not drive it. The blogs didn't drive this movement. The media didn't drive this movement. Barack Obama did not lose this election. It was his to lose, it was not John McCain's to win. The Republicans had no shot unless the Democrats gave it to them, and they didn't. And to blame the media is a cop out and ridiculous. We are always here to be blamed by people like you who enjoy that activity. We always will be. When the Democrats lost last time, it was our fault. When the Republicans lost this time, it was our fault. It's not."
