False.

But but but but liberal media!

Tacoby Bellisbury: False.

How so?

McCain got almost no coverage in early summer.

"liberal media" is a concept invented in full by Ronald Reagan. There is not and has never been a "liberal media bias."

I dont doubt it. There was a hot and heavy primary at the time between Obama and Hillary. McCain had already won the nomination so there was no point to start in on McCain at the time.

That would be a funny comment, Tacoby, except that I know you mean it.

Don't worry. This will not mean that you Indys will need to stop saying that the media is against you. Just ignore it like you always do.

There is a "truthiness" that you must maintain, after all.

Warning: This post was not for real Independents... This is for all those "independents".

I'm a liberal. I'm so liberal, my asshole looks like the gootse guy. I'm coming to take your guns, fark your wife, make her have an abortion, fark your daughter, make her her have an abortion, fark you in the ass, marry your son, and while doing it I'm going to talk about the opera, my hybrid, and the price of arugula. Then I'll ban your religion, and make you an atheist muslim.

And there is nothing you can do to stop it, because all of the Media (except Fox News) belongs to me.

TREMBLE CONSERVATIVES! I AM LIBERAL, AND I AM HERE!

Well that does it, I'm convinced.

Geez, could The Scientific American be any more in the tank for Obama?

IStateTheObvious: hot and heavy

Never use those words in the same sentence as Hillary Clinton ever again. I need brain bleach.

Ahh good, Tacoby showed up. I've greatly increased my ignore list in the last week and was waiting so I could add him to it.

That's because the liberal media was all over Hillary Clinton at that time.

Let's ask Fox News for their opinion.

Tacoby Bellisbury: False.

I take it, by your Boobies status, that you did some in-depth research to come to that conclusion, right?

oh, and Hillary Clinton wasn't a member of a church whose leader prayed that God would damn America. There's always that ...

HitInTheJunk: Geez, could The Scientific American be any more in the tank for Obama?

To be fair, the MSM was in the tank for Hillary. You could tell alot of them just didnt comprehend how Obama came completely out of left field and have the popularity he had. Thats one of the reasons Hillary thought she had the nomination before the primaries ever started.

Sorry bout that GrooveMonkey. Brain bleach is being FedEx'd overnight express.

WHARRGARBL'd in the boobies.

Fret not, though. The GOP will find something to whine about anyhow. They're like hardcore addicts: if you take away their primary source they'll just stoop to something lower.

Then they'll tell us what whiny pussies the "liberals" are.

Well you better ignore me then.

Though I'm liberal and voting for Obama, so maybe all 2008'ers aren't so bad?

I take it, by your Boobies status

Now, now. Just because Tacoby likes men doesn't mean he has breasts.

Our media companies are owned by mega corporations.

NBC, for example, is owned by General Electric. General Electric cares about one thing: MONEY. In television, profits come from ratings.

If you think General Electric (or any other mega-corporation that owns a news media outlet) is interested in sacrificing money in exchange for pushing a partisan political agenda, you are a fool.

Ozarkhawk: Tacoby Bellisbury: False.

I take it, by your Boobies status, that you did some in-depth research to come to that conclusion, right?

If by in-depth you mean he stuck his pinhead entirely into McCain's various cavities, then yeah.

It's simply a matter of miscommunication: to the Republicans, the internet itself is liberal media.

Disappointing article. Instead of dabbling in the media arts, Scientific American should explore sociology; e.g., whether the office of president (combined Head of State/Chief Executive) is an obsolete political form, as are "Emperor" or "Warlord".

TripleK: It's simply a matter of miscommunication: to the Republicans, the internet itself is liberal media.

Well Al Gore invented it.

whizbang: Disappointing article. Instead of dabbling in the media arts, Scientific American should explore sociology; e.g., whether the office of president (combined Head of State/Chief Executive) is an obsolete political form, as are "Emperor" or "Warlord".

No. It's not an obsolete form. However, America has regarded Congress as an obsolete form.

Ah, the smell of fear and desperation from the GOP is intoxicating.

/snifffffffffffffffffffffff

"Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media." "Liberal media."

I hear that once the phrase is uttered aloud or appears in print for the trillionth time, it will come true.

Well, of course this is what the attractive and successful Scientific-Americans are going to say.

Thanks for the mental image. Here, have a cookie:

bubbaprog: "liberal media" is a concept invented in full by Ronald Reagan. There is not and has never been a "liberal media bias."

Rich Bond, then chair of the Republican Party, explained during the 1992 election, "There is some strategy to [bashing the 'liberal' media]. . . . If you watch any great coach, what they try to do is 'work the refs.' Maybe the ref will cut you a little slack on the next one."
http://www.utne.com/2003-07-01/Myth-of-the-Liberal-Media.aspx

"I admit it," Bill Kristol told The New Yorker in 1995. "The whole idea of the 'liberal media' was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures."

Read the title of the publication

Scientific American

If that doesn't help, nothing will.

Tacoby Bellisbury: False.

1) Because Tacoby Bellisbury knows better than Scientific American.

2) It's science, therefore it's liberal

3) Victory of personal conviction over facts.

bubbaprog: "liberal media" is a concept invented in full by Ronald Reagan. There is not and has never been a "liberal media bias."

Reagan often got things wrong. He misstated the law, history, world events. He had a positive genius for ignoring facts in favor of his personal convictions. Reagan's personal convictions were generally more attractive than reality, and he spoke of them with such inspiration, that many people bought them, hook, line, and sinker.

"Liberal Media" was how Reagan explained away the facts.

"Voodoo Economics" survives to this day thanks to the genius of Reagan.

"Two out of three ain't bad"

If they don't like the negative press Obama is getting, those Scientific-Americans should go back to their own damned country!

Scientists don't even believe the world is 6000 years old, whaddaya expect? Science has a liberal bias.

Fortunately for conservatives, Scientific-Americans are not a large voting bloc.

Really, the media have been pretty squarely in McCain's camp this year. Obama has managed to get his message through despite that. One example is recent coverage of Obama's answers to McCain's sleazy, negative campaign. McCain lied and distorted Obama's record for months, while Obama stayed on the high road. Finally, now that Obama is calling McCain out on his crap, the media are acting like Obama is somehow "equal" to McCain. I.e., McCain is allowed to start going negative, but Obama isn't allowed to finish it.
