Speaking of media I was listening to ESPN radio early this morning and the host was going nuts trying to convince the audience that the NFL domestic violence scandal is really important and not just something driven by the media.
The only reason to spend that much time justifying the media coverage is because they are starting to get negative feedback from the public, as in, 'Why don't you stick to sports? We don't care about what players do at home.'

Why?
The OP was about MSM bias.

I was thinking of tje media driven story by the media the other day. Since ESPN is part of Disney/ABC this could be all about splitting the woman vote off or trying to get them to come out.
Here is where I think the media will have a negative impact on " athletes wives reporting domestic violence ".
Every woman who reported domestic vilonce on their husband now have no incoming paycheck ti the household, or at least not the big paycheck that was paying the bills.
Now if an NFL wife gets slapped, does she report her mab, or shut up and take it fearing her spouse will lose his job forever ?
A lot will now clam up. The NFL should get the husband some therapy on the first incident whilst putting the players paycheck in a trust for the wife if her and maybe the kids decide to leave.
If they reconcile then the trust reverts to the family after 5 months of therapy.
The current way is likely, imo, to make many NFL wives clam ip.
ESPN goes overboard on EVERYTHING and it's the same ole shyt for 3 or 4 weeks, it's like thet don't understand we tune in to see and discuss sports, not other stuff over and over.
Excuse if spelling is crap, on my Android today.

GWB's Gallup rating over time
Minus one observation in mid 2007, Bush never polled below 30% until his presidency was virtually over, in his last year.
Care to develop a new argument given the new information?

Well, in the case of NFL wives, none of them have the ability to make millions a year. But they could sue for divorce and get some nice alimony and child support.
Tiger Woods' wife came out with millions and she never got hit.

Who in the media wonders why the public doesn't trust them?
By every poll Fox is considered the most biased. No one at fox wonders why. They know they are.
And btw, why are you whining that the media doesn't tell us how much we like or dont someone? We don't need to be told. We're the ones feeling this. Do you need to be told you don't like liver if you don't like liver?
Keep to your predictions of End Times. That's much more productive.

You think the fact that, with two years left into his presidency, bush only fell below 30% once, is a good thing?!?!
How high do you set your bar each day? Going potty unattended?

That's not what's being argued. Try to keep up or pack more straw.

You're either not paying attention or you're being dishonest. The media reporting Bush's ratings were identical to Obama's current ratings. Bush's were not lower at the time Wolf Blitzer went nuts. They were the same.

Most people don't make millions a year. Maybe they still live their spouse and want tgem to get treatment.
My point is a fact. This will make mant NFL wives scared ti report incidenta, fearing their spouses will be fired forever.
You BS retort is all fine and dandy, but my point is still reality, many women will choose not to report.
The better road would be to get the player some help, and set up a trust fund for his family out of his salary.
People like you don't look at reality, you look at feel good facts.

The story is bullshite. Both presidents sinking approval ratings were/have been covered way more than 124 and 9 times, respectively

Give us the ratio.

I certainly remember on this board weekly approval ratings of Congress when the Dems had the majority and since the Reps took over, the approval ratings have fallen yet I don't remember one thread on Congress' approval ratings since.
Can you recall one Zach? One time? Just once will do.
Link please.
Thanks in advance.

In defense of that, this board isn't a news outlet. That is akin to comparing apples and carrots.

No sweet heart. When Bush's approval ratings became an issue was when they tanked in the 30s. Lower 30s.
Everytime Obama's hits 39 or 38, it's reported and repeated gleefully here. Ad nauseum. Then they creep back up over 40. Then when they hit 39, story breaks and all the sheeple run here to post it. 3 or 4 threads.
. It goes up and crickets.
. 39 and the party begins again.
Rinse and repeat.

The board is a mirror of Drudge and Breitbart. Whatever is listed there is listed here.
If anyone lists something not there, from I don't know, an established media outlet, we're called trolls, we're downvoted and trashed, we get a private message telling us to cut it out.
