Carter is in the race for governor!? (Decatur, Washington: office, best)

There's a large body of evidence as to bias in the media which you are welcome to research and review.

There is a large body of evidence and it's clear on the conservative nature of the corporate media.

I don't know what the talking point "corporate media" means (do you expect TV stations to be a small business?),

That explains why you don't understand the bias. It has nothing to do with stations being a small business. Local TV news largely irrelevant to all of this is, though they help push conservative narratives.... they focus on crime out of proportion to the time in a broadcast. We don't need several minutes on a murder taking the place of say, what local leaders are doing or business etc. It's silly.

Basically 6 companies own most of the media in this country, way, way, down from even 20 years ago.

but I assume you believe that some smoke filled room exists where old conservative white men named Chuck are sitting around a table deciding what is shown on TV or written in print media. That's not the case. More often you have rank and file or mid level editors and producers who subtly influence editorial and other content in a left leaning manner.

Nope, I mean what I actually typed.

A great example of bias in media management is former NPR CEO Vivian Schiller who had to step down after she was caught making some ugly remarks about Republicans and Fox News contributor Juan Williams. Again...it's the tip of the iceberg.

NPR? Are you joking? I'm sure there real issues there, but don't type that with out adding the history of Williams and NPR. THere is a specific dynamic there.

But I don't expect you to educate yourself or care.

Let's be fair here.
Have you seen the Chris Christie photo & story splashed hugely across the top of today's Wall Street Journal? And that's coming from Rupert Murdoch's (think News Corp/Fox News, etc.) own WSJ. That's right, coming from the media perspective of The Right.
If you think the story is geting a lot of coverage down here, you should examine the coverage it's getting in the New York/New Jersey media market from both the right & the left. It's a huge story to them & they smell blood in the water. It may not turn out that way, but let the chips fall where they may, hopefully toward the truth. But we all know the media loves a bloodletting because it sells as in copies & listenership & provides $$$ revenue.
The Benghazi story was front & center on and off for how long? For months as it continued to reappear as in the vein of something new having turned up. With the latest examples this fall & winter of "new" material, the media seems to have discovered that they'd been sold a bill of goods by the witch hunt produced in the House by GOP rep. Darrell Issa who repeatedly promised new, explosive revelations time & time again. Never happened.
But the "liberal media", as in the persons of Jonathan Karl of ABC News & Lara Logan of CBS's 60 Minutes, both got caught peddling false stories fed to them by questionable sources that should have been uncovered through thorough vetting before they ran with their stories.
I still can't believe that ABC never did a dang thing to Karl. They are a disgrace!

Joe
Thank you for that @ 2:36.
Decades ago, when they were independent & free-standing companies, NBC, CBS & ABC all did produce news programming that commonly favored the left view point.
But they are no longer independent & free-standing companies. As Joe explained above, there are 6 corporate media conglomerates around today & they are not at all leftist-leaning companies nor are their news departments dominated by leftists whose mission it is to favor or slant the news to benefit the left.
The ownership of NBC, ABC & CBS is easily verifiable. As if ABC/Disney is a left-leaning company or that Comcast is, or that Sumner Redstone the billionaire who controls Viacom & National Amusements which controls CBS, is a leftist.
Try as you folks might, that TIRED line that was promulgated decades ago about the "liberal media" is out of date & has been so for so long that it's laughable that it still gets paraded around. But the success of the pushing of that line went far & lasted well beyond the wildest dreams of the right wing when they decided that going forward it was their centerpiece of attack against the media.

They don't like Christie, even though he's just as far right on policy.

For historical perspective, Rev Wright was ALL OVER ALL OF THE MEDIA including MSNBC for weeks.

Back in the 90s there was one Clinton thing after another and that's not including the year long Monica 24/7 drama.

Anthony Weiner was ALL over the news and again ALL over MSNBC.

Meanwhile, the media suppressed info regarding the lead up to the war in Iraq. That's fact. The Washington Post later apologized for it (how brave of them so far later).

The "liberal" media myth started back in the 60s by a few groups - Southerners trying to appeal to whites, suggesting that civil rights for African Americans meant a "loss" for whites and by Nixon VP, Spiro Agnew who constantly went off on the 'liberal media" and then Agnew's criminal hubris caught up with him and he had to resign in disgrace, just like his boss would soon later.

But that didn't stop the narrative.

Also, you don't hear that much about Benghazi in the mainstream media. Phil Graham has been a bulldog on this story yet when is the last time he got front page billing for it?

I didn't go through all of these, but it's a stretch to call most of these attacks on the right.

As for #7, I have never heard anyone in the media call Timothy McVeigh a "Christian Terrorist" and even if I had, when did Christianity become the sole property of the right?

And I love how their slogan is "Informing and equipping Americans who love freedom" and then they have the nerve to write #28, which basically says religious freedom is a bad thing.

Bogus list.

So the GA Dems pushed Connie Stokes out of the way so Jason Carter could run. Hmmm

Imagine if the Republicans did this...

A recent poll suggest he would get destroyed anyway by Deal.

Well it really would take imagination to a black Republican in such a situation to begin with here in the state of Georgia.

Its realistic that they would ask her to step aside.She is running for Lt.Governor.Much like they asked Hillary Clinton to play nice.Now look at the position she is in now.

Connie Stokes dd not have a snowballs chance in hell.

It's no use. Rush, Beck, Hannity, etc. have them all convinced that there is an all out war on republicans. And they're laughing all the way to the bank.. Rush and Beck made a combined $150 million last year. And democrats are laughing too... because those two men probably help the democratic party more than the republican.
