Well, well, well…it certainly looks like that little post of mine has stirred up quite the usual hornet’s nest of liberal dipsticks, but I’m having too much fun bashing Rosie (a misnomer, if ever there was one) in the Trump thread to bother much with this issue which most people in this country can readily recognize. However, for irrefutable proof of liberal media bias, I would simply point to the fact that there is so little liberal complaint about it. You guys have been whingeing over every little thing you don’t like for decades now. If you didn’t feel simpatico with the way the media was reporting you’d be whining about it nonstop. And hey, **Red** …surely you haven’t deluded yourself into thinking I’d have the slightest interest in anything you have to say? You’re much too hotheaded, knee-jerkish and irrational for me to pay much attention to. You are amusing when you get mad, though. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Ruby] Your condesending attitude is rude and really not necessary, **lissener** , hon. . [/QUOTE] Your calling someone you’ve never met “hon” is condesending, rude and not necessary. Stop it. To address the OP do people make fun of the president? They do? I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!!! Might actually think we were in a country where we were allowed to do so. And this is no evidence that there is a liberal bias in media, just that there are liberals in media, as there are everywhere. Or at least people who don’t like Bush and I know many conservatives who don’t. ---

[/QUOTE] It must be nice to be you, **SA**. Your perceptions of the world always perfectly match up with your expectations. I’d point to your president as an example of how that attitude will eventually bite you in the ass, but of course, it’s that very attitude that will prevent you from being able to recognize the lesson being taught to you by your own administration. Here’s a miniature American flag. Go stand in that corner and wave it around. Remember, the harder you wave it, the better America becomes! It’s just like clapping to bring Tinkerbell back to life! ---

Portraying G.W. Bush as the devil is an insult to Satan. Fuck George Bush and his pro-business, class-warfare agenda. The man is an unindicted criminal of the worst sort and deserves the place on the bottom rung of history that awaits him. ---

Getting upset over that requires an absolute desire to bitch about something. Glad you found something,inspite of how stupid it is. And to claim it shows a liberal bias on top of that. It is a picture of the pres. That is all. ---

If you read nothing but neocon koolaid-soaked rags, then you’re not a very good judge of what liberals are or aren’t saying. First of all, I’ve seen plenty such “complaining,” although it tends to be rational and backed up, so doesn’t come across as complaining so much as, well, reporting. Second, liberals are more invested in the freedom of the press than conservatives, and thus understand that a truly free press is going to be made up of a wide variety of voices, so is more likely to celebrate such diversity of opinion, rather than, as you rightards do, go all Chicken Little every time you unearth some isolated hippy writing a lefty diatribe in his basement.
