- The other “driver” I ascribe the bias too, is the “Hollywood factor. That is the fact that controversy/bizaar/weird sells. The legacy media, and America for that matter, entered the “News = entertainment era” with Viet Nam. The motivation seems to have sprung from the introduction, and fast growing popularity, of the “Grocery store Rag”, the Star, The Enquirer, ect, all of which ran the most imbecilic nonsense imaginable, along with Hollywood gossip bylines, and it was soon apparent “trash journalism” sells.

- Editors of the existing MSM products have to answer to owners/stock holders, and the bottom line, and circulation is generally the main concern. As long as they don’t run into legal issues of any sort, the Management wants anything that will serve thse two goals, and that peobably is why many owners, that may themselve be Conservatives, allow Left-wing propoganda to flourish in their newspapers/magazines/TV productions. They know from example that sensationalism sells.

- As an example, you can always tell when its a slow day in the news room when the production staff drags out the “dog bites man”, and “two headed goat” stories.

- So though theres an obvious bias, in some cases almost to the point of obsession, some of it is no doubt “revenues” driven as a part of the mix.

- But that won’t save the NYT when the checks run out from Soros.

Saddaam’s records are being released, finally, after the President made his displeasure public (with John Negroponte of all people).
Perhaps the contents will help with this media problem. The consensus, from the Weekly Standard to the Wall S…

Who is “worshipping” Bush? I’m thinking you don’t read much… We have ALL been very critical of Bush. But the topic here is the irresponsible journalists. Let me ask you. Do you think that there are any journalists who have been acting irresponsibly? Or are they helping America? Or are they educating America?

Thanks ST for the mention!

So it doesn’t surprise me at the same thing going on today with the MSM remember with liberals “the ends justifies the means”. It doesn’t matter if they embolden the terrorists or demoralize our troops remember this is an illegal war it’s Bush’s War and we shouldn’t be in Iraq. I would say most of the journists (Liberal) still have the same elitist attitude as back during the Vietnam War that hasn’t changed. It’s the same old play book only report the bad things “Body Counts, Abu Grahb and so on” anyway you get the picture. So if we haven’t learned anything from history we are bound to repeat it.

The MSM is our countries biggest leaker of information to the enemies of the US.

Al-queda could not ask for a better partner and accomplice to thier evil.

About time some in the media start waking up and seeing what they report can and does damage the US, not just in the eye of others outside of the country, but can and does help the enemy, puts troops in harms way and kill them.

For the left who don’t think that what gets written and shown in the MSM doesn’t get used by the enemy, they are either clueless or stupid.

Hollywood doesn’t help by putting out propaganda pieces for terrorists either. Buys right into the “we must understand how they FEEL, so we know WHY they are killing and blowing themselves up”. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

We do not try and get in touch with a killers feelings, and if we profile a killer, it is so we can either lock them up or kill them before they kill us….not appease the killers.

Maybe if people wake up and realize we are dealing with serial killers who want nothing more to take over and institute thier own brand of extremist views and religon we would go farther in winning the war on terror.

You don’t appease serial killers, killers that are taught from birth to kill others, that feel thier existence is to be used as a walking bomb to blow up people.

Sometimes I wonder just what country the hollywood left, MSM and Dhimmicrats want to live in, because if these serial killers get thier way, they will reward them with chopping off thier heads or a bomb.

Finally someone in the media is willing to stop, and take a realistic look at the kinds of stories the media thrives on, and conclude what so many of us have already:  The media reporting has at times been irresponsible.
I have been mostly po…
