Sho Nuff 720 Posted February 18, 2014 CNN is often propped by the libs here as an unbiased news agency; I present to you the article from CNN in Frozenbeernuts' "Kansas Dbags" thread. I challenge the libs here to read this account of the proposed bill and determine if it is a fair, unbiased representation. I honestly don't know because I haven't studied the actual bill. But it sure reads like it has an opinion, and then begrudgingly admits there are some "concessions," like the business still has to provide the service to gheys. http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/13/us/kansas-bill-same-sex-services/ So in all of it...you admit you don't even know. It reads like it has a bias or an opinion because of your own bias right off the bat. CNN does have a slight left lean to them as far as I am concerned. Nowhere near the right leaning of FoxNews or the more left leaning MSNBC. BTW, that bill should be destroyed...its hilarious that anyone wants to claim its a bill about freedoms while trying to limit other people's freedoms at the same time. Its an awful bill and ridiculous how shortsighted and stupid it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 4,060 Posted February 18, 2014 You said Fox News twice, which is actually accurate. There are opinion shows like Hannity which are far right. But I'd put Neil Cavutu up against any journalist from another station for integrity. Oops, meant Wall Street Journal the second go-around. No I was NOT correct initially Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't prove if you've studied the actual bill or not, but that isn't the point. The point is that this article makes virtually no attempt to be unbiased; in fact, the "concessions" section comes off as an editor who tried to wedge in an appearance of impartiality. Again, I make no comment on the bill itself. Just the way it is "reported." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to defend a news agency I don't read or watch, but I don't see anything crazily biased in there. I guess if you identified the biased phrases or passages I'd be open to changing my mind. But in my experience conservatives come at this discussion of what is or isn't biased with a lot of conviction to the point that disagreeing means you're a biased liberal too, and that's something of a non starter. FWIW I boycott all cable news programs by not watching and think calling up sponsors is dumb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose it is possible that they are all Maxine Waters level of stupid, but I doubt it. So it's possible that they have a different opinion than what you consider "blatant crap." Oh, and the admission that CNN has slanted pieces is actually a big step. CNN is typically held up as the bastion of impartiality on this site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 2,544 Posted February 18, 2014 Doubtful...considering polls have shown that FoxNews watchers are typically less informed than others. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2011/11/21/fox-news-viewers-uninformed-npr-listeners-not-poll-suggests/ 2011 info...doubt it got any better. Cue people whining about the validity of the polling next. Fox and MSNBC blow...they present their slanted views of the news as well as very biased commentary. Its obvious to pretty much anyone. Funny how you take the highest rated cable news organization and compare them to the loest rated news organization. Your lame attempt to group them in the same basket phails on many levels. They are not the same. One is successful. The other one strives to be as successful but can't as most see through their Fawking BS. The funniest thing about it is progressive producers feel the need to be patient and endure the low ratings in hopes things will change and their stoopid Fawking demographic viewers will somehow see the light they see. My favorite being Air America. Lost many and listeners every quarter but kept going with the hopes somebody would listen. Final result........bankrupt and lost the franchise. I listened to them religiously when I could. Best radio on FM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
