Got a 401K or any sort of savings vehicle? Chances are pretty good you own a chunk of a masscom.<BR/><BR/>The political beliefs of who owns or manages a masscom is entirely IRRELEVANT. One might argue it was relevant if it were editorial INPUT to a system affecting that system's OUTPUT.<BR/><BR/>What IS relevant is the content that is churned out, the OUTPUT, which most empiricle studies note as being distinctly biased to the LEFT.<BR/><BR/>Here's one example, coming from Berkely, of all places:<BR/><BR/>http://www.polisci.ucla.edu/faculty/groseclose/Media.Bias.8.htm<BR/><BR/>Quote:<BR/>-----------------<BR/>However, contrary to the prediction of the typical firm-location model, we find a a systematic liberal bias of the U.S. media. This is echoed by three other studies—Hamilton (2004), Lott and Hasset (2004), and Sutter (2004), the only empirical studies of media bias by economists of which we are aware<BR/>----------------geekWithA.45https://www.blogger.com/profile/14770332791984947745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-1158249967676481262006-09-14T11:06:00.000-05:002006-09-14T11:06:00.000-05:00LawDog:Hmmm...I hate to nit-pick, but up here in t...LawDog:<BR/><BR/>Hmmm...I hate to nit-pick, but up here in the frozen north the media DOES view things in black-and-white. Unfortunately, the equations that they use are:<BR/><BR/>Democrat = Good (white)<BR/>Republican = Bad (black)<BR/><BR/>Case in point: The coverage of the primary election for the 5th Congressional District (mine, by the way). The Dem-wing has nominated Keith Hakim...oops, sorry, Keith Ellison-Mohammed...oops, no, now he's calling himself Keith Ellison. The local "news" media is calling the bring-this-to-your-attention by his opposition that he's an anti-Jewish, Nation of Islam, pro-Farakkan whack job "negative campaigning".<BR/><BR/>Bringing up somebody's past public statements is now "negative campaigning".

That while fuel is too cheap, China can develop into a world class competitor to the USA too quickly. That the middle east needs to be controlled by the US for reasons of geo political strategy, and it's time for the US as sole superpower, to be IN CHARGE and prevent any challenge to us from arising- anywhere, ever.<BR/><BR/>People who lead us think about such things. They even say them amongst themselves, and publish them for limited circulation amongst themselves. Please do read the Project for a New American Century and look at the list of those signing on if you don't believe this. The Iraq war was planned on a long time before Afghanistan, the WTC event or GW Bush's entering the Whitehouse. And it's going pretty much as planned. The number of people dieing and the destruction caused are considered worth what is gained by those who planned this. Besides, it's not THEIR kids or fellow country club members who join the all volunteer armed services, It's just poor and middle class people.<BR/><BR/>America's mass communications are owned by very rich and quite conservative people. They make business decisions based solely on PROFIT and RISK. Please remember- The communication industry DOES NOT exist to inform or educate the people, but to make money. And it does that VERY well. At the beginning of this, the communications industry owners saw a good chance for profit, and were rewarded with a sweetheart de-regulation package that allowed the biggest players to become even bigger and assert complete control of large markets. What opportunities do you think they're seeing now?<BR/><BR/>If you want to just believe US mass communications spin, hype and propaganda, you're going to continue to be led around by your collective noses, paying for an agenda that can't be openly acknowledged to you by leaders who think they know best. Digging out information on your own and forming your own hypotheses on just what the hell is going on takes time and effort, and the results probably won't make you feel as good as the pretty lies put out for mass consumption. But it may help keep your children and yourselves alive and free. 25% or less of the US population stood up for something they believed in in 1776, the rest were willing to go along to get along. What would you have done? Politics on that level would certainly cut into time for TV and taking the kids to soccer practice. Move along folks, nothing to see here...<BR/><BR/>Go ahead and call me a liberal again if you feel like it, it amuses me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-1158245390299938282006-09-14T09:49:00.000-05:002006-09-14T09:49:00.000-05:00Righteous Rant, Dawg.I'm really wondering how our ...Righteous Rant, Dawg.<BR/><BR/>I'm really wondering how our society is going to be able to hold it together with half of our people acting like cranky 5 year olds who refuse to get it.geekWithA.45https://www.blogger.com/profile/14770332791984947745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-1158242876614733312006-09-14T09:07:00.000-05:002006-09-14T09:07:00.000-05:00You've hit it on the nail Lawdog: on target in one...You've hit it on the nail Lawdog: on target in one.<BR/><BR/>I just listened to C-BS today, and they went out of their way to explain that the 'murders' (I thought deaths in war were casulties) now happening in Iraq are the indicator of 'Civil War' (huh?: what makes these deaths different form all the rest), and troted out experts that confirmed it was 'uncontrolable' (must mean the same as unwinable, their other favorite term), and that the 'mission' (another word now for war?) was 2 or 3 months away from 'total failure' (I guess ousting a genocidal dictator is a BAD thing now).<BR/><BR/>Every quotation mark is just what they said, and not out of context. <BR/><BR/>I really wonder just who's side the media is on, anyway......sorry, I guess I really DON'T wonder.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Lawdog: keep putting things into focus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-1158241208563452912006-09-14T08:40:00.000-05:002006-09-14T08:40:00.000-05:00I see how easy it would be to float a barge or fre...I see how easy it would be to float a barge or freighter up to the refineries just outside my window and shudder...what would one loaded of ANFO do?
