yep it is impossible to refute it, news is a business. if you want to sell news to people that live in cities, you have to give them what they want to read, if you want to sell news in trailer parks, you put pretty girls in tight dresses and they tell the morons that it's the darkies fault that they're poor, not the billionaires. then you give it a slogan like "fair and balanced" and you're on your way to getting rich. also I notice a lot of your polls are about how biased people "feel" the media is. weird that the most popular cable news network keeps telling them that

Feel quite free to pull your head out of your behind any time that you like. Maybe I should get my news from the white nationalist lovers over at Breitbart or from Faux "News" and the dolts on right wing radio.

I give this child 13 citations of evidence proving that the PC democrat "news" media swine are shills for the democrat party and all he comes back with is this?---------My process for blocking these seditiou democrats is straightforward:

If they ignore facts (like this putz did) I peruse about 50 of their posts to see if they cite facts supporting their opinion/rant. It only takes 30 seconds because 95% of their pathetic posts are fact-free -- in this putz's case, 10 seconds because he posts no facts, none. I therefore know that presenting an opposing opinion supported with facts to such fools is a total waste of time.

You're blocked, AH.---------BTW, AH, the pro-democrat media has ten times more viewers than pro-Republican Fox News (5/25/11 huffingtonpost.com).

"... news is a business"?

No, "news" is the Fourth Estate, an institution burdened with simply reporting facts, protected by our First Amendment.

And you slimy democrats have totally corrupted that burden:

-How Americans saw the mainstream media (TV and print) election coverage in 2008: Rasmussen poll -- 69% for Obama, 6% for McCain; Pew Research poll -- 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain; Sacred Heart University poll -- 68% for Obama, 9% for McCain; Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll -- 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain; U. of Cal. Department of Public Policy survey of journalists nationwide during the 2008 election -- 52% supported Obama, 19% McCain.

-9/2009 Sacred Heart U. Poll: 69.9% saw national news media as promoting the Obama presidency while 26.5% disagreed.

-8/15/12 Rasmussen Poll: 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Obama has received the best treatment from the media so far; 18% think his Republican challenger has been treated better.

-June 2013 http://www.gallup.com/poll/163... "Americans' confidence in newspapers and television news has been slowly eroding for many years, worsening further since 2007."

-9/19/13 http://www.gallup.com/poll/164... “Regardless of whether the media do favor a liberal point of view, the plurality of Americans perceive it does. Far fewer Americans see the media as too conservative.”

-3/12/13 usatoday "The rate of gun homicides dropped 49% between 2010 and 1993. But 56% of Americans believe gun crime is worse today than it was 20 years ago [because the media doesn't report news that debunks its "more guns cause more crime BS]."

-12/4/13 http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2... The New York Times recently released its annual list of 100 notable books, comprised of the 50 fiction & poetry and 50 non-fiction titles deemed deemed most noteworthy by the editors of the New York Times Book Review. The number of conservative titles on the list? Zero. None.

-11/3/14 businessinsider.com In a data set provided to Business Insider, the non-partisan political analytics firm Crowdpac used information about federal campaign contributions dating back to 1980 to determine the political biases of various professions. Crowdpac found the entertainment industry, news media, and academia were among the most liberal professions in America. [Liberal donors outspend conservative donors by 50 to 1. See the graphs at http://www.businessinsider....]

-Even their polling is BS: "PolitiFact.com is a project operated by the Tampa Bay Times, in which reporters and editors from the Times and affiliated media outlets "fact-check statements..." Wikipedia

11/25/16 tampabay.com Tampa Bay Times: "While we have never recommended a Republican for governor or U.S. president, we have recommended Republicans in other statewide general elections..." Editor of editorials and corporate board member Tim Nickens [The TBT started in 1884].

-4/5/16 politico.com The donations occur through the 700,000-member Communications Workers of America—the umbrella union for guild journalists at the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and other papers, as well as for many TV and communications workers. The CWA has been one of Bernie Sanders’ biggest contributors throughout his Washington career, records show. In December, following a vote by its members, the union endorsed the avowed socialist in his contest with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

-11/1/16 mediate.com A Suffolk University/USA Today poll finds that by an overwhelming margin, 75%, of Americans believe the media is biased in the favor of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

-Who the New York Times, the flagship for all the democrat "news" media swine, endorsed for president in: 1960 Kennedy; 1964 Johnson;1968 Humphrey; 1972 McGovern; 1976 Carter; 1980 Carter; 1984 Mondale; 1988 Dukakis; 1992 Clinton; 1996 Clinton; 2000 Gore; 2004 Kerry; 2008 Obama; 2012 Obama. ALL DEMOCRATS.

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." Abraham Lincoln--------------

''A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely and appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.'' Marcus Tullius Cicero, 58 BC, Roman Senate

Democrats are the "enemy within."

I hate to be the one to break it to you but yes news is a business, how do you think reporters get paid? The only news that doesn't have a profit motive is PBS, is that what you watch? Or do you have another opinion poll that proves that Fox News viewers think that's run by the communists too. Is talk radio "the media"? How about Fox News? How about brietbart? I'll bet the news source where you copy pasted all of your opinion polls only tells you things you agree with right? But hopefully you didn't look at any of the ads on your trusted news source that are trying to sell you gold coins and doomsday prepping supplies so that it won't be influenced by trying to make money instead of telling you the truth

Some halfwit gives me a bunch of links supposedly showing how the media's biased against poor, sad conservatives (mostly because facts have a liberal bias). Feh I say.

He's my process: I don't block any idiot right winger. I want to be amused by the incredibly stupid things that these morans post about.

" in this putz's case, 10 seconds because he posts no facts, none. I therefore know that presenting an opposing opinion supported with facts to such fools is a total waste of time.You're blocked, AH." Derp and whine away asshole. I could care less.

You are incredibly tedious. You're also, apparently, one of those people you can fool all of the time. Bye.

"We get it. Olds gonna act #old."

True. My only source for news is Wonkette, a badly damaged crystal ball and whatever I can skim while waiting in line at the grocery store.

(Ha, Ha! I said "grocery store"!)

This putz considers facts to be tedious.

----------

My process for blocking anti-American democrats is straightforward:

If they ignore facts (like this putz did) I peruse about 50 of their posts to see if they cite facts supporting their opinion/rant. It only takes 30 seconds because 95% of their pathetic posts are fact-free -- in this putz's case, 10 seconds because he posts no facts, none. It's all snarky personal opinion BS, sans facts. One learns nothing. Total waste of time.
