No, really, what other website out there is more even handed than Media Matters?

8/4/2009 9:21:12 PM

Hey hooksaw, if it makes you feel any better I'm not a lefty.

Still wondering why we're talking about Media Matters instead of simply mocking Glenn Beck for his hypocrisy... You know, the show where the unedited/uncut clip came from.

8/4/2009 9:22:26 PM

Because dickslaw has to defend this website from the evil liberal force. So the moment Media Matters was brought up, he had to switch into an all out onslaught on that rather than to discuss the actual topic. It's best to just ignore him when he goes rabid like that.

8/4/2009 9:28:29 PM

glen and his idiot circle of commentators have cultivated enough hate and momentum that its now inevitable i think before someone out there commits an act of violence

glen beck is just trying to wash his hands clean of what is eventually going to happen
its like hitler issuing "leave the jews alone" memo right before the americans invaded germany

8/5/2009 12:20:28 PM

Is there any republican commentator ANYWHERE that doesnt' spew vitriol and actually talks about conservative plans other than the standard get government out of everything? I've been looking for one of them that sticks to the ideals but realizes there has to be compromise in the short term. All I hear on the airwaves and on TV is hysterics and "that policy will fail", not, we need to do this because this policy is better.

no one thought my Fischer King reference was funny?

Media matters is nothing but a liberal funded organization that has the sole objective of smearing conservatives.

How are they fair if they only focus on correcting conservative misinformation?
From their site:

Quote :

"Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."

I guess that only Fox News and the conservatives propagate misinformation . If they were really a fair news organization they would also focus on liberal misinformation.

8/5/2009 5:27:55 PM

that's fantastic, man, really it is.

care to comment on the glenn beck video, though?

also, update:

Media Matter is incredibly liberally-slanted. To the point of absurdity.

What does that have to do with the video posted? Almost 1/2 page on this stupidity now.

sometimes you liberals need to be reminded that fox aint the only biased news out there, in fact, its refreshing to see the other side reported for a change

8/6/2009 2:28:35 PM

there should be more than more than two sides

8/7/2009 9:48:57 AM

^^^^^Is it bad that the first time that I saw that picture, I noticed the lack of an 'Iraq' label and immediately thought "Did they combine Iran and Iraq into a single country?" On second look, I saw it was actually a mislabeling of 'Iraq' as 'Egypt'.

Kinda funny that was the first place my mind wandered to. Definitely would have fallen under the same lines of other Fox shenanigans.

There is a petition going around prompting advertisers to pull adds from the Glen Beck show:

but this could set up a war where each side tries to get advertisers to pull ads of shows they dont like

Fox News dominates July ratings; Bill O'Reilly again tops. . . .

Quote :

"Sorry, Bill O'Reilly. But when it comes to ratings, cable news is one big spin zone. Fox News Channel had the most reasons to boast about July achievements. Look at these numbers: *** "The O'Reilly Factor" had the largest viewership, with 3.1 million viewers, and was up 37 percent from a year ago. I think O'Reilly can spin that in very favorable terms. The other most-watched programs were all on Fox and scored impressive increases from last July: "Hannity" up 41 percent, "On the Record With Greta Van Susteren" up 60 percent, "Glenn Beck" up 120 percent, "Special Report With Bret Baier" up 42 percent and "The Fox Report With Shepard Smith" up 36 percent. *** In prime time, Fox News had more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. Fox's 2.1 million outranked CNN's 1.1 million and MSNBC's 738,000. But they were all up: Fox News 43 percent, CNN 39 percent and MSNBC 24 percent. *** For the whole day, Fox News had a similar story to tell. Fox News averaged 1.1 million to CNN's 723,000 and MSNBC's 396,000. There were more increases here: Fox News up 36 percent, CNN up 45 percent, MSNBC up 12 percent. *** Fox News was third among all basic cable channels in total viewers. USA and TNT scored bigger audiences. CNN was 15th and MSNBC was 26th. *** Fox News was the clear favorite in the 25-to-54 age group, which is most important to news advertisers. Fox News averaged 530,000 viewers in that age group in prime time; CNN had 377,000 and MSNBC had 252,000."

BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STOOPID, AM I RITE?!!1 (The "stupids" includes independents and liberals, because it's not just conservatives watching FOX News.)

8/12/2009 5:20:17 PM

The Glenn Beck thing is so awesome.

Finally. How on earth have national corporations gotten away with supporting bat-shit-insanity for this long?

But apparently they don't necessarily need large sponsors. Rush seems to get by peddling prostate snake oil, online storage ripoffs, and gold scams.


^ It seems that "liberal" and conservative viewership is about equal.

Which disappoints me, frankly. Winning in 24 cable news ratings isn't something I'd be especially proud of.

And I was simply posting the numbers. Can you--for once, you goddamned Left Coast fucking moonbat stooge--not focus on me and address the goddamned post? For once, you idiot?
