<p>Christcorp, you are rambling, and you don’t know what you are talking about.</p>

<p>Ownership is key.</p>

<p>You mentioned MSNBC.</p>

<p>Look at the shows on MSNBC.</p>

<p>Olbermann is a liberal.</p>

<p>What about Tucker? Joe S?</p>

<p>The 60’s are over Christcorp.</p>

<p>The major news outlets are owned by multi-billion dollar corporations now.</p>

<p>GE owns NBC, CNBC, MSNBC.</p>

<p>NewsCorp owns Fox and Dow Jones and many other companies.</p>

<p>Ted Turner no longer owns CNN. He sold it to Time Warner. </p>

<p>ABC is no longer family run. It is owned by Disney.</p>

<p>Corporations rule the media, not liberals.</p>

<p>Corporations are not liberal.</p>

<p>The liberals have PBS, NPR and the NY Times.</p>

<p>Corporations have almost everything else.</p>

<p>As an aside…</p>

<p>CNN devotes an hour a day to a show that wants the borders closed. (I think it is a bs issue).</p>

22

<p>Corps do own these companies, but I am with Christcorp</p>

<p>MSNBC is seen as a liberal media outlet, yes, John Tucker and Joe Scarborough there, but are nothing compared to Chris Matthews, Dan Abrams, Olberman in ratings and time slots. Anyone who doesn’t see it that way typically will also say Fox News is leaning to the right. </p>

<p>Here is where the problem lies, too many people will only listen to one side. We need to watch and read both sides, at least you will make an informed decision from weeding out bias to the real facts.</p>

<p>As far as CNN devoting an hour a day about the borders, means they are getting ratings.</p>

<p>In the end it is ratings, if most of their demographics show that their viewers are of certain age, political affiliation, sex, they are going to put issues on to match. Thats how the game is played. Ratings equals revenue.</p>

<p>It’s nothing personal …It’s just business</p>

23

<p>You’re wrong too. :)</p>

24

<p>So MSNBC does not lean to the left.</p>

<p>Very interesting on CNN’s Relaible Sources today Olberman was interviewed about his new book. He openly stated that he is a liberal. He also stated when asked about why America sees MSNBC as liberal, he said the heirarchy has never given them direction to do only liberal shows, just to go and talk about what they want. Well if you hire anchors in primetime slots who are openly calling themselves “liberal”, then you obviously have a business plan.</p>

25

<p>MSNBC leans to the left and to the right. </p>

<p>O’Reilly owns that time slot for the conservatives. MSNBC wants some people watching.
MSNBC is owned by one of the largest benefactors in the war in Iraq.</p>

26

<p>Chris is on at 5 and 7
Tucker Carlson is on at 4 and 6
Keith is on at 8</p>

<p>Bill is on at 9.
Between 4-7 fox is doing nightly news.</p>

<p>From 7-9 they are not going head to head. Actually they are not even doing news , but political pundits. </p>

<p>Joe is on the morning, so he is not even a player in the situation</p>

<p>Finally we all know by ratings that very few are watching MSNBC, they have been for yrs in last place for cable news
Ratings for Thursday Jan. 24
The Scoreboard: Thursday, Jan. 25
25-54 demographic: (L +SD)</p>

<p>Total day: FNC: 277 | CNN: 194 | MSNBC: 191 | HLN: 126</p>

27

<p>Where I live O’Reilly and Olbermann are on at the same time.</p>

<p>5 PM.</p>

<p>Hannity and Colmes are on at 6PM.</p>

<p>That show also dominates the conservative viewing audience.</p>

<p>Very few people watch MSNBC. I agree.</p>

<p>Bill is on at 9?
When is Hannity and Colmes on?</p>

28

<p>10…I think, I am not a fan of H &C so I am not positive.</p>

<p>Thanks for agreeing that few people watch MSNBC</p>

29

<p>I am agreeing because you are correct. :)</p>

30

<p>Off topic, but I am going to copy this and place it on any of my posts when people disagree with me ;)</p>

31

<p>‘Leaning’ is one thing, but blatantly censoring, lying, and misleading the public? FAUX News tops the list.</p>

32

<p>CNN (the Clinton News Network) planted democrats in the audience to ask questions in one of their Republican debates. Fox News is far more Fair and Balanced than CNN or PMS-NBC.</p>

33

<p>They’re all owned and managed by the corporate socialists.</p>

34

<p>Some people are so far to the right they see leftists everywhere.</p>

<p>Mini, you are right.</p>

35

<p>“They use the 1st amendment as their shield.”</p>

<p>The first amendment shield should always be used against the tyranny of those who would limit freedom in furtherance of their political agenda.</p>

<p>“We allowed the congress to run the war instead of the military.”</p>

<p>Philosophically, this is how it should be. Congress is in charge of the country; the executive and the military exist to do Congress’s bidding.</p>

<p>But I’m puzzled by the claim; did the Republican congress thwart Bush’s action’s in Iraq? The Democratic congress sure hasn’t shown any backbone in the past year; Bush still gets everything he wants for his personal war.</p>

36

<p>1sokkermom says……How ironic. The poster (#1) has accused others (including me) of misrepresenting words to make a point.</p>

<p>I provided a provocative “headline” more like one you would read in the National Enquire than the New York Times. I then provided a link to the story so that you could read for yourself that the headline and determine that the headline was provocative and not at all what at first read it appeared to be. </p>

<p>I had some fun with it and plan to continue to poke fun at the pompous regardless of their politics. </p>

<p>You said someone said something they didn’t say, you then gave a news organization as the source of your falsehood and since your source was false you could not and did not provide a link that would have allow people to read for themselves what you falsely claimed was said. </p>

<p>You made a false statement and gave a false source for mendacious proposes, I took a quote out of context for whimsical proposes, and as I have said, I plan to continue to poke fun at the pompous.</p>

37

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m not saying CNN is innocent - they’re not - but I haven’t seen the blatant censorship on CNN to the degree that I’ve seen on FAUX.</p>

<p>Since you seem unaware, here it is for your convenience:</p>

<p>“Of course he cares what the voters think about issues and how to govern”</p>

<p>how do you know that?</p>

39

<p>He said that he was not concerned with whether or not the voters new how much personal money he had spent on his campaign. He was concerned if his opponents were to get a hold of this information. </p>

<p>Way to twist his words. Since some of y’all like to twist words and meanings do you really think Bill and Hillary are racists?</p>

40

<p>I agree. The statement is totally taken out of context and unfair to Romney to imply he meant not caring at all.</p>
