It is cool how you politically ally yourself with anti-semites. That is thinking outside the box, Timsquish.Good question, Glenn.Do you still count Soros in spite of his Nazi ties?You know, I was fooled about the Rockefellers for a long time, because unlike Soros and the Rothschilds, they weren't Jews. At least, not publicly. But then it turns out they had a lot of Jewish friends, so in the end it all fits...

Fixed.
So you are one of them 'deniers'? You do know the earth is round?
This is a little weird. I don't think I've commented in this thread in like a year. I swing by to see why it's still on Page 1, and see this.

It's hard to even get conservatives to speculate about why this is so. We've brought it up a couple of times in past threads and the conservatives mostly have shrugs to offer. It seems to be a profession that simply doesn't interest them. Though things have changed somewhat with the expanded opportunities of the internet.
Only thing I can think of is that liberals tend to be drawn to more creative jobs and conservatives are drawn to more money making jobs. I'd count news reporter in the "creative side" as they get to basically tell a story. Now why liberals and conservatives are drawn to certain types of jobs, I'm not really sure. Only thing I can think of is that for conservatives, making money to support their family is a high priority. creative jobs tend to be paid much less. Basically, what's more important for your job, making enough money to live comfortably, or being happy at your job?Now my experience is strictly with television news. My only newspaper experience is through my sister who used to be a newspaper reporter and editor (and is a democrat) She believes that reporters due let their personal beliefs affect the story, but believe it to be done subconciously rather that intentionally.It's hard to even get conservatives to speculate about why this is so.

FWIW, your political beliefs are not part of your job interview at a daily newspaper. They're looking for observational skills, writing skills and curiosity. Again, why should these be attributes not held by conservative types?
College education may also play a role in strengthening the biases. The more conservative, money-making jobs require a college education that usually houses conservative thinkers as professors, teachers, etc. The more creative areas of studies, including journalism schools, have more liberal professors. I've heard speculation that it goes back to Vietnam, when liberal thinkers were more likely to try and stay in college to earn more and more degrees to keep their deferments. After the war they had undergrad, graduate, sometimes PhD degrees and had spent so much time in college they decided to stay there and become professors, further entrenching liberal beliefs in some areas (usually the more 'creative' side) of higher education.Only thing I can think of is that liberals tend to be drawn to more creative jobs and conservatives are drawn to more money making jobs.

Good info here.

Because their trades center primarily around the expression of emotion, not logical thought.
That was really stupid to say. Good riddance.
It's not really what he said. It was a terrible hurricane "joke" about the convention's timing. Guy didn't actually say that the Romneys would throw a party in response to black people drowning like Grove suggests. Still a stupid thing to say, though. Of course he was just a local bureau chief of an internet company- not exactly the kind of power broker who drives the news. And Yahoo! immediately fired him and issued an apology. Sounds like the media got it right after some loudmouth employee said something really dumb.
Things like that and ABC jumping straight to the Aurora gunman being in the tea party (he's not) are why so many people think the media is biased against the right.
For that particular subgroup, a not especially numerous one, your generalization may be accurate. I wouldn't characterize all liberals in this manner, however, just like I wouldn't characterize all conservatives alongside social conservatives whose views were formulated by reading the bible. Many of our political issues today are not so much ideological as they are pragmatic -- which way is gonna work best?
I pretty much quoted him. If you don't want to click breitbart, you can read the WaPo article that pretty much contains the same info. www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/08/29/yahoo-editor-fired-over-anti-romney-joke/
Gotta like other news people coming to the defense of the guy
So these people think the guy who said the GOP likes black people drowning is fair and a gift to political journalism?
I've always liked Ryan Lizza, even though I haven't read of his stuff since he left TNR. It's kind of disturbing to see him defend this kind of thing.
Sigh. He didn't say this. There's a HUGE difference between saying someone is partying "while" something happens and saying they're doing it "because" something happens.
:rofl:
Tobias said he didn't say what you said, but that he made a joke. I wanted to see the joke, but I didn't want to have to click a link and read an article.
“they (GOP) are happy to have a party with black people drowning.” Sure sounds like he's insinuating that the GOP is happy that black people are drowning. Not sure how else you can take that, especially with the stereotype of the GOP when it comes to minorities.
From the Post article:
Agree completely. If you want to argue that Republicans are racist there's much better ways to do it.
Articles like that don't help the media's image either. Thanks to USA Today, many go straight to the graphic and not read the article, so they totally miss that the number one answer is "Don't know". Assuming that it's an even split between D/R/I, is it really a story that 17% of republicans polled think that it's because blacks vote democrats to get benefits from the gov't?
Whoa, you're right. I was under the impression that those numbers were percentages of respondents who had an answer, i.e. that the respondents could choose more than one answer and 59% of those who responded chose that answer. Upon further inspection, it looks like it's just a raw count, which is in the small, italicized print.I was gonna delete my post, but on second thought maybe I should leave the link here as evidence that the mainstream media does have a liberal bias. It's actually a pretty good example of it.
But you did think it showed that a majority of republicans thought that Blacks voted democrat just for free benefits. That's what gives the appearance As an aside, One should always be leery of any poll where they don't show the raw data.
Absolutely. Like I said I think it actually shows liberal media bias, even though that wasn't my original intent in posting it here. I can admit when I'm wrong. I do think it shows something of interest and does not paint the GOP in a flattering light, but it's clearly designed to make them look worse than the actual data. Not OK.
link?
Do your own work you lazy liberal!
If you ask jouranlism majars why they chose their major they may say something like "to change the world." While cnservatives may see the mission of a journalist to be one who looks for and reports who what where when and why, a starry eyed jornalism major may see themselves in the role of being the bully pulpit for the little guy.Good info here.

If a Republican was President right now the MSM would be relentless on covering the high gas prices.
I wouldn't put it like that. Lots of J majors do believe in comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, though. Abuses are much more likely to be enacted by those in power than by those without it.If you ask jouranlism majars why they chose their major they may say something like "to change the world."

I would have to agree with this. Instead, you hear that the DOW is reaching levels it hasn't seen in years. Definitely eye raising.
ok, i'll bite. What?
