Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe traditional journalism is out of touch, and nearly half are turning to the Internet to get their news, according to a new survey.
That is obvious to the conservatives here, it must be the hard core libs that are out of touch

sorry, your point is?
sorry, your point is?
The point is people are tired of sound bite news, and like something with a little more substance. A little more “back and forth”. Surely you wouldn’t think that’s a bad thing!
Or would you?
certainly i agree with that. what i don't agree with is that it has anything to do with so-called liberal media.
the media isn't liberal. it's profit-driven, affected greatly by media consolidation. they want a story. they want what sells.
you won't read this, but i offer if as an excellent article showing that unfair coverage by the media is not liberal or conservative.
i get very little of my news from tv or newspapers. almost anything of substance that shows up there, i've already known about for weeks from reading it online. something will come up on the tv and my wife asks what's that all about, and i explain because i've already read the story with analysis about the "whys" and "whos".
then she laughs at me when i see some news person let someone get away with a lie in an interview and i yell "liar" at the tv because i know better.
and i'm yelling at russert and matthews just as much as i yell at o'reilly and hannity. well, almost as much.
Mickey, don\'t be so kind. daver is just a Socialist looking for more taxes to be extorted from the productive members of society. He doesn\'t even think for himself, just repeats the bromides from certain advocacy groups who say people are willing to be taxed more. Show me a person willing to be taxed more, and I\'ll show you a Extreme liberal Democrat who worships government.
I saw the point without any help.
The media has their own agenda and reports accordingly. So intelligent people go elsewhere for information.
Sorry that's too hard for you anon.
You wouldn't be a proud union member would you?
nothing hard, bigt except the original post wasn't clear as to why it was obvious to conservatives any more than it was obvious to liberals. and as i said further on, it's not a liberal or conservative thing.
what does being a union member have to do with this?
I read a couple of pages of that Vanity Fair article. If that ain't slanted, then slant doesn't exist. Poor, put upon AlGore. He got picked on. Boo-freakin'-hoo. The author calls him an intelligent man. Based on what? His college scores? He claims Gore's over the 2000 results, something about his inner strength or some such. Yet, to this day he makes comments about being "the real winner" of 2000. Perhaps anon doesn't understand the phrase "media bias".
Of course, the article isn't a news piece, so it really isn't a good example of news bias anyway. And that's what this thread is about.
marshall, i knew you couldn't comprehend english. the article clearly states the origins of the the lies spread about gore regarding the internet, love canal and love story. i understand media bias perfectly well. the article i cited clearly shows how media bias is not necessarily liberal. perhaps YOU don't understand the meaning of the word bias.
we all know what happened in 2000. regardless of the vote count, there are 5 supreme court justices who should be in jail. i'll just leave it at that because nothing i could ever say or cite would ever convince you. and it doesn't matter. i have neither the time nor the inclination to explain it to you. either way i suggest you get out a few constitutional law books and try to understand how electors are chosen by the states and not by the supreme court.
I would like to hear your brilliant logic on this one anon 2124852.
Why should 5 memers of the Supreme Court be in jail?
Who wanted to have thousands of military votes thrown away?
After every single media source went over every vote for over a year, who won EVERY SINGLE TIME....GWB. Stop crying.

game, you are IGNORANT. you keep repeating the same WRONG things.
1) gore did not try to have military votes thrown out. he wanted to exclude invalid ballots. however, "state elections officials were pressured by Republicans to accept hundreds of overseas absentee ballots that didn't comply with state election laws" according to the new york times. pesky thing, those state election laws.
2) every single scenario DID NOT give bush the win. most did including the one gore wanted to use.
however, i really don't care if every single recount tally gave bush the win by a million votes. it's beside the point. the supreme court HAD NO JURISDICTION in the case. it was not a federal matter. furthermore, several of the justices had demonstrable conflicts of interest. lastly, if you want to understand the self-incriminating evidence, read this:
The majority opinion announced that the ruling was “limited to the present circumstances” and could not be cited as precedent. But many legal scholars insisted at the time that this assertion was itself dictum — the part of a legal opinion that is nonbinding — and illegitimate, because under the doctrine of stare decisis, courts cannot make rulings whose reasoning applies only to a single case.
and one last thing, i'm not crying about what happened to gore in 2000. i'm mourning over the death of what was once a great institution.
To the anon with the bad attitude, the article was presented as showing bias isn't lib or con, but the article is biased in favor of Gore, so it's not a good example to support your premise. Anything it says about how he was treated is suspect due to the worshipping of Gore so obvious in the two pages I read.
As to the election, how did it get to the Supreme Court anyway, who as I understand it, simply agreed that Florida was handling the proceedings according to Florida law? They didn't decide any winners, they only showed what a loser Gore is. The rest of your legalese is irrelevant to the basic point. In addition, my point in bringing it up, since your comprehension is nothing about which you should brag, was that the article's author spoke of Gore's strength in getting through the loss, when he proves over and over that he is NOT over it at all. An example of lying, if not bias.
Another thing, Nixon/Kennedy was close as well. Some of Nixon's people wanted to go to a recount and take legal action. Nixon nixed it. Didn't think it would be good for the country. Gore didn't even have Nixon's degree of class.
And what institution is it to which you refer? The electoral institution? You think there's problems now? You don't know your history. There's always been electoral problems, and Dems have a long history of shenanigans. "Death of an institution" my ass.
anonymous liar,
The SC did have jurisdiction. They voted down the FLSC 9-0 on the initial case, but you don't remember that, you liar. Gore sent lawyers with memos on how to disenfranchise the military vote the night before the election. It was his plan to steal FL. He got his hand slapped and Democrat Ballotbox stuffers like you have been crying like spoiled babies ever since.
You are just like Josef Goebbels, you keep telling the big lie until you hope to get the public believing it.
If you don't like it here, leave coward.
Good point PCD!
Gore went in with an underhanded agenda, and it failed. His cry’s of the other side being underhanded rings a little false.
I love your Josef Goebbels, reference, harsh some would think, but so very, very accurate. They (the Libweenies) perfected that strategy during the Regan administration. Repeat a lie often enough, recruit the non-fact checking, idol worshipping media, and package it all for the hazed masses.
Marshall!
Do you suppose he realizes that there has to be an “electoral problem”. We would not be a country, if it weren’t for the “ep”. Personally I hope there is always an electoral problem.
Time to go, I’m watching a repeat of “Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival – Chicago” and it’s FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!
ma, the institution i'm talking about is the supreme court, obviously.
so let me see, if somebody proves that gore did not say he invented the internet, that's biased because...why? it contradicts the republican meme?
pcdummy, please cite such a case that the SCOTUS ruled 9-0 against gore. good luck.
btw...bite me! ;-)
I'm ron, a socialist pig. Even though I question pcds productive member of society status I would like to extort every penny he has...why? cuz I'm a liberal welfare cheating, advocacy group driven,latte drinking, tree hugging,america hating,terrorist aiding, extreme liberal democrat.
Game, why many of my posts don't make it and pcd does is a mystery to me. What does he say:
Mickey, don\'t be so kind. daver is just a Socialist looking for more taxes to be extorted from the productive members of society. He doesn\'t even think for himself, just repeats the bromides from certain advocacy groups who say people are willing to be taxed more.

Not one fact..it's all name calling and , your worst of sins, emotionalism...
oh well no big deal, I don't really care and I don't mean to complain but the guys hate,rage,stupidity constantly and vacuous typing devoid of anything worthwhile amaze me.
Ron,
Maybe you are better off being thought of as silent.
