re: For those of you who still think the big 3 are not left leaning

This is actually good news. That is, liberal networks that liberals watch are not reporting on the midterms. That can only help low turnout.

The only thing they could have included was the 2010 midterms to compare

Why?

2010 would be comparable to 2002, not '06.

Refusing to recognize bias at the Big 3 Broadcast News outlets is laughable.
You have former Democrat Campaign Staffers hosting supposedly neutral major "news" shows, data suggesting ~85-90% vote Democrat, repeatedly skewed coverage documented, etc.

I almost feel sad for folks unable to call it what it is.

If you really want to know the extent of left-wing bias by the networks, just look at the resumes and political leanings of the on-air talent that they hire for shows that are, at best, only marginally considered to be news-related.

For example, let's examine ABC'c daytime show, "The View". The format is pretty straightforward; 4-5 women sit around a table and discuss various things, with the first 15 minutes or so devoted to current events, politics, etc. How long has that show been on? Maybe 15 years? They have probably had two dozen or so different women co-host that show. THEY HAVE NEVER HAD MORE THAN ONE TOKEN CONSERVATIVE ON THE VIEW AT ANY ONE TIME.

Think about that. If the powers-that-be who hire the on-air talent for that show were not taking political ideology into account, what are the odds that there would ALWAYS be 3 or 4 liberal women and only one conservative woman? OF COURSE THEY'RE DELIBERATELY TRYING TO SKEW THE CONTENT OF THAT SHOW IN A LEFT-WING DIRECTION!

I've only watched the most recent "cast" of the show once, and only out of curiosity to see just how biased it still was, but sure enough, once again they have 3 liberals (Whoopie Goldberg, Rosie Perez, and Rosie O'Donnell), and one nondescript conservative whose name escapes me. So,SOS as always. They even brought back O'Donnell, who is one of those idiot truthers.

Just for a moment, think outside the box and try to imagine just how different that show would've been over the years if there had always been 3-4 conservative women on the panel and only one liberal. It would've been a lot different, wouldn't it? I mean, even a 2-2 split would've resulted in a very different "view" on The View.

It isn't just that show, either. The Today Show on NBC has at least two co-hosts who have had their on show on MSNBC, Willie Geist and a black woman whose name escapes me. The central figure on GMA is George Stephanopoulos, a left-wing hack straight out of the Clinton White House. The CBS "Morning Show" has PBS's Charlie Rose and Oprah's girlfriend, Gail King.

Does anybody really think that kind of left-wing influx on these "light news" shows is just an accident? Also, if they are staffing these shows with a disproportionate percentage of liberals, is it any wonder why the network news organizations are so liberal?

Think about it. I know I won't get any substantive responses from liberals, but I feel sorry for anybody who is really too stupid to see this.

There is one difference I've noticed. Those who lean left seem less inclined to notice or admit bias in the media than are those who lean right.

And no...I don't have a cool chart just MHO.

Bias news media is a given, but it sure stirs the jimmies of liberals on this board...That ought to tell you something.

Interesting
I'd like to see all news stations over a long period of time on this subject. At 1st glance, it seems odd those news stations are so different covering the exact same subject(Mid-terms). Thsi makes me wonder no matter what other news stations have done. One still has got to wonder why these news station(In Graph) did what they did by covering less midterm actions.

I would like like to know why the drastic change?
By these popular news stations

Link?

It's always interseting to see all the right wing sights come up with bull shite stories/responses when legitimate surveys (like the recent one from Pew) cast an unflattering light on conservatives. This one shows most get their "news" from Fox, Limbuagh, Beck and The Blaze.

Pitiful.

FYI, I don't think that graphic shows what you think it does.

2010 and 2014 are totally different scenarios compared to 2006 and 2014. I'll spell it out for the dunces.

2006 and 2014 both came during both presidents last 2 years of a lame duck presidency. Both presidents were in the high 30's low 40's in presidential approval.

In 2010 you had the Tea Party phenomenon, with crowds gathered everywhere that couldn't be ignored by the MSM for two reasons, they were to large a crowds to ignore and because the media wanted to tag them as racists, ignorant people.


So, 2014 and 2006 are in no way, shape or fashion like 2010.


Now take your dunce caps off and message your ignorance away.

The right is constantly looking for someone to blame instead of looking in the mirror.
