( I don’t ...RKen – good morning and happy Leap Day! ( I don’t even know if that’s a good thing or not lol)<br /><br />It’s good to know that those on the right and those on the left can come together and discuss issues… and it’s great when a common ground can be reached. <br /><br />For the most part, I agree with your response here (like 95%). The only slight disagreement to me is that while, yes, it's on both sides, I'd argue that since the pendulum of the press seems to be weighted a little more towards the left, it happens more frequently in pro-liberal, anti-conservative headlines/news media.<br /><br />But yes, it’s very upsetting, and yes, it happens all the time. And you are 100% right when you say, “And despite it, the majority of people on both sides will still treat most everything the media says as if they're all completely factual, unbiased, and set in stone.” That’s the absolute worst part: people take it and believe it. <br /><br />But it is definitely true… it happens on both sides. I stand for truth and good reporting no matter who writes it. Just because I’m/this blog is conservative doesn’t mean Fox gets a pass: http://loudmouthelephant.blogspot.com/2011/12/is-this-really-anybodys-business.html<br /><br />I think I remember the Fox piece you’re taking about (vaguely)… I wish I had time to find it too.<br /><br />And of course, your last line is 100% correct as well. The best thing we can do: left or right, continue to find the truth…LMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429716019519498131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042042552998680556.post-3492744807628811952012-02-29T06:42:32.698-08:002012-02-29T06:42:32.698-08:00Stuff like this is always upsetting.
The most tro...Stuff like this is always upsetting.<br /><br />The most troubling part is it happens all the time, far more than most people think/may know, and it is all kept on the hush-hush. And despite it, the majority of people on both sides will still treat most everything the media says as if they're all completely factual, unbiased, and set in stone. <br /><br />Something I saw the other day, even worse than this story, was that Fox News deliberately changed the video footage they aired of a conference. <br /><br />I don't recall all the details off hand and can't search for the article right this moment, but one of their contributors took a question from the audience, an Iraq veteran, challenging our position on the war and how what he saw first hand conflicted with our objectives/portrayal of the war. The contributor ignored the question, indirectly told the veteran he was a disgrace to our serviceman, and moved on; this was met with booing at the actual event, but Fox instead aired a clip from a year before that showed the audience clapping/applauding that response.<br /><br />When it was discovered they did this, they simply said ‘oops, we accidently mixed up clips, sorry’ and buried the story. <br /><br />The corruption in our media is astounding.RKennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042042552998680556.post-25045089581552083582012-02-29T06:22:04.567-08:002012-02-29T06:22:04.567-08:00So what?So what?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042042552998680556.post-1147510607944417052012-02-29T06:11:27.416-08:002012-02-29T06:11:27.416-08:00I knew this was face the second I saw it.I knew this was face the second I saw it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
