So they modeled their news agency after the major American news agencies?

Everyone with half a brain knows that anything on NewsMax is slanted so far right that it almost doesn't resemble reality at all.

Broken clock and all that.

my runner up snark post:

Takes one to know one.

And what's up with all the taxes on rich people?

This thread needs more floor humping.

GAT_00: Everyone with half a brain knows that anything on NewsMax is slanted so far right that it almost doesn't resemble reality at all.

Exactly! Now let us return to the Daily Kos and Huffington Post, where we can all enjoy fair and temperate political discourse...

NewsMax is not patriotic enough. Needs more flags.

BravadoGT: Exactly! Now let us return to the Daily Kos and Huffington Post, where we can all enjoy fair and temperate political discourse...

Neither of those two have "news" in their name.

DailyKos, in particular, is a blog. They say so themselves. NewsMax claims it gives the news, when it is really only giving spin. THAT'S the difference.

Fark off, Repubtroll

Actually, they claim to be an "online news site with a conservative perspective." That sounds like a admission of bias to me. So how exactly are they so different than the "Breaking News and Opinion" offered at the Huffington Post?

Stay classy, friend.

"speading"
Heh.

/sorry, i have nothing two contribute too this thread expect pointing out a speeling misteak bye submitter.

I've never known Huffington Post to spin things so far out of reality to be nearly unrecognizable.

And if news needs a "conservative perspective," doesn't that mean that reality really does have a liberal bias?

Fixed that for ya.

So now we're arguing over degree? They both spin, but Newsmax allegedly spins more, so they're the bad guys?

And if news needs a "conservative perspective," doesn't that mean that reality really does have a liberal bias?

Yes, that's exactly what it means, professor. I stand humbled by your intellect, which is not at all snide or disingenuous....

BravadoGT: So now we're arguing over degree? They both spin, but Newsmax allegedly spins more, so they're the bad guys?

It's kinda telling. I've rarely seen anybody seriously cite Dkos or Huffington when thrying to back up an opinion. But I have seen plenty of people cite NewsMax as a reputable source and don't understand why rational people laugh at them.

Or as SPY would say, were it still smarming today Blogrolling In Our Times.

BravadoGT: Yes, that's exactly what it means, professor. I stand humbled by your intellect, which is not at all snide or disingenuous....

Yeah, because you back up your comments just so well.

OMG guys my preferred opinion site totally kicks the ass of yours.

Damn but there's a lot of I know you are, but what am I going on here.

HotWingConspiracy: OMG guys my preferred opinion site totally kicks the ass of yours.

No! Yours is a radical, spinning, propagandizing opiate-"news" site for mind-numbed robots. Mine is a thoughtful, edgy "blog" that takes on evildoers by speaking "truth-to-power"....

Get it now?

BravadoGT: Actually, they claim to be an "online news site with a conservative perspective."

They're not "conservative." They're Republican Before Anything Else. Note how they've suddenly fallen in line with John McCain, despite hating him prior to getting the nom.

Bomb, bomb, bomb...

Bomb, bomb Iran....

Ummm... Isn't that sort of like arguing as to whether McDonalds or Burger King has better nutrition?

LocalCynic: BravadoGT: Actually, they claim to be an "online news site with a conservative perspective."

You know what they say: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king...."

And when the choice is between McCain and Clinton/Obama....

"known for speading propaganda, false news and wacky conspiracy theories"

I didn't know they were known for that, but now i do, can i run around saying they're known for that now? Is that how that works?

maxheck: Ummm... Isn't that sort of like arguing as to whether McDonalds or Burger King has better nutrition?

To be fair, McDonalds has the better assortment of healthy choices. If you want to strictly talk burgers, I think BK wins slightly, since their burgers are flame-broiled. Of course, we could just look...

The fact that their government allows them to access any news sources outside of the country so easily is baffling to me.

What's the point of making your freedom of press non-existent in order to control people if they have almost unlimited access to foreign information? The people there are much more connected to the outside world than the Iranian government gives them credit for, methinks.

Yeah, Iran has been a font of truth....

/Holocaust Denial and 9/11 Troof!

BravadoGT: You know what they say: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king...."

And when the choice is between McCain and Clinton/Obama....

Barack Obama: Government isn't going to raise your children. Quit blaming the schools, turn off the TV and get involved with your kids.
John McCain: Citizenship means service. You owe us for your freedom, citizen.

Yeah, "conservative" indeed, this McCain.

BravadoGT: And when the choice is between McCain and Clinton/Obama....

You don't have to pick one of them, nor does one have to endorse one over the other...

Reading Huff Post or Daily Kos is like reading news dispatches from the Iranian ministry of propaganda.

SnoreCriminal: Holocaust Denial and 9/11 Troof!

That's all A-jad. Iranian scholars (in Iran and abroad) came out saying they were embarassed that he said that, and that any semi-educated person should know better.

Also, you'd have to disregard the candelight vigil the citizens of Iran had for the victims of 9/11.

/but then again, it's not the people of Iran who do the offical website, so there you go.

Is it actually that well-known in Iran? :o

Dkos has a leftwing liberal Muslim bias and supports Obama for President.

Reading comprehension not your strong point huh?

It's ok, post another picture.

Do you think smaller Persian websites get "Farked" whenever Asr Iran links to them?

Also, is there an "official website" of the United States (I mean, other than homestarrunner.com)?

The people who own Newsmax used to be clients of mine and I can tell you from first hand experience that they are assholes.

Not withstanding the garbage they publish, they're yucky people on a personal level.

MrTwist: The people who own Newsmax used to be clients of mine

^ was hired to clean their carpets a couple years ago - got yelled at for f*cking it up.

^ was hired to clean the sand out of their vaginas - got yelled at for walking off the job after 67 straight hours of firehosin

SnoreCriminal: Yeah, Iran has been a font of truth....

/Holocaust Denial and 9/11 Troof!

To be honest, presstv.ir isn't really that bad. I used to watch the BBC for unbiased news, but that's out the window these days. PressTV on the other hand mainly reports facts, which is odd for a media source these days.

BRB, Flowers By Irene has a delivery for me at the door...

I thought the vigil was for the hijackers. Oops, my bad, that was in the Arab world.

Gokh bohor va bemir, Khameini-kuni.

What's with all the Dread Pirate McCain pictures popping up in the political threads? Don't you know the Internet has programmed me to blindly support the pirate? You've unfairly manipulated my vote!

/unless someone counters with pictures of Obama as a ninja. Then I'll have to go back to comparing the candidates' respective policies and platforms in an informed manner.

//but until then, ARRR! I BE CASTIN' ME VOTE FOR PIRATE MCCAIN! BUT ONLY IF HE BE CHOOSIN' A LOLCAT OR HA HA GUY FOR HIS VP! ARRR ARRR ARRR!!!

I believe, in fairness, we should be allowed to submit 'Yellow Times' articles again.
