Doesn't that make you a complete boob?

Of all the media listed above, the only one that penetrates 100% is AM
radio (and then only at night some places). Every town has a
flamethrower of record, some cities have 2 or three. If they all tilt
right how is that fair to people that tilt left?

How about FM radio? *That's almost all leftist crap, and there's a lot
more FM stations than AM stations.

We are talking about the information potential voters get prior to an
election.

And books, libraries, magazines, broadcast TV, cable TV, college, high
school, pamphlets don't count? *the ONLY way Americans get information
is through AM radio?

Just how insane are you?

*If you turn on a car radio in Texas (or most states) chances
are you are not going to hear anything but right wing propaganda (AM or
FM).

I spent two weeks driving through Texas not to long ago, and there
more certainly are far more liberal stations than conservative.

I'm going to overlook the rudeness, because of the company you keep.

Are you under the impression that you're anything except rude?

I pay to watch TV because I live in the mountains. I can barely afford
it. I have a DSL connection that I will probably drop in a couple months
when my year is up.

*Good, then you won't bother me anymore.

No FM to speak of here. KROQ and KPCC. Haven't heard any political
advocacy on either. We have an AM station that is totally right wing.
Same goes for our local cable channel.

You live in the Greater Los Angeles area, and you have the ****ing
gall to claim there's no left wing media?

LA has no liberal radio stations?

This is in spite of this city voting for Obama 53% to 47%. To listen to
the radio you'd think he was Son of Moamar.

According to you, the only stations your town has is a rock station,
and NPR. *Seems like that's all leftie, all the time.- Hide quoted text -

NPR is not so extreme : it is all relative. Some FM stations are
totally whacked out . For instance- Pacifica Radio . . .

US Media In-Equality -exemplifies- 'Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder' !

Imagine a TEA Party founded by George III
 

ALEC and Its Tea Party Sugar Daddies

ALEC claims to be an independent, nonpartisan, public-private partnership, but the best metaphor for the organization is an aspen grove. An aspen grove appears to be a cluster of individual trees, but a look beneath the surface reveals that each tree is an offshoot of the same large root network, each tree genetically identical to the other.

In the case of ALEC, a common filament in that network is the Koch brothers, Charles and David. Through the profits of Wichita, Kan.-based Koch Industries (and other Koch-controlled corporations), the two billionaire brothers fund myriad right-wing public policy foundations.

ALEC has received significant funding from the Charles Koch Foundation (CKF), which also funds the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. In 1974, Cato was originally incorporated as The Charles Koch Foundation. David Koch is currently on its board of directors.

David Koch is also a trustee of The Reason Foundation, a libertarian public policy institute and prominent ALEC member that promotes the privatization of government (and also receives CKF funding). Michael Flynn, Reason's current director of government affairs, served as a director of ALEC policy and legislative activities/strategic initiatives for several years ending in 2003.

David Koch also currently chairs the Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF), formerly known as the Citizens for a Sound Economy Educational Foundation (another prominent ALEC-contributor), largely funded by CKF and Koch Industries. Joining him on that board is Koch Industries Executive Vice President Richard Fink, who is also the former executive vice president of the Mercatus Center, yet another Koch-funded, right-wing ALEC public policy member.

In 2003, AFPF incarnated two more foundations: Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks. As noted in AFPF's 2003 tax records, the group paid U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas) $429,583, via FreedomWorks, as a "consultant"--his first year salary as chairman of FreedomWorks.

As Kate Zernike noted in our October 2010 cover story, "Tea Party Confidential," Armey and the group's president Matt Kibbe wrote an op-ed article in 2007 proposing the Boston Tea Party as a model for putting grassroots pressure on a central government. She writes, "Presaging Tea Party tactics in the summer of 2009, they described how Samuel Adams packed town hall meetings with his supporters to drown out Tory voices and used each new British policy or tax as 'an excuse to rally new recruits to the cause of American independence.' They wrote, 'Adams was the first American to recognize that "it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather, an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.' "

Beginning in 2009, FreedomWorks was instrumental in creating the
faux-populist Tea Party. The mainstream media uncritically hyped the
scores of Tea Party tax day protests orchestrated by FreedomWorks and
the National Taxpayers Union (another Koch-funded ALEC group headed by
former ALEC executive director Duane Parde), thus helping enable
unprecedented Republican legislative majorities in states across the
nation.

I get broadcast basic cable, which is what it sounds like. No over the
air TV. No cablle TV [not even] news. I am surrounded by close-in
ridgelines, around 300' above me, except due south. Mt. Wilson is 3
ridgelines away, behind 5,100' Magic Mountain.

I have asked you repeatedly, over many months, to give an example of NPR
advocating a partisan position. Judging by your lack of even a single
cogent response I must presume the following:

To some people, facts have a liberal bias.

While John Stewart agrees with you about Hoffa's words he at least
gave them in context. He also included the "Don't retreat, reload".
Did you complain about the heavy use of the Jefferson quote,
"The tree of Liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the
blood of patriots and tyrants" which actually was a call to violence
rather than to vote?

So what?

You're not happy controlling 95% of the media...it's got to be 100%?

Who controls 95% of what media?

The Left.

That is ludicrous. The mass media is owned by defense contractors
(NBC) and people who made money doing gangster stuff (CBS) and (I don't
know how to classify Disney; a company built entirely on Stepford
children).

Newscorp (slightly to the right of Ayn Rand) brags they control 30% of
the media all by themselves, so that leaves 70% to be split up by Time
Warner (right wing), Viacom (neutral to center right), Disney (creepy
fascist), Comcast (right), General Electric (nuclear behemoth), Cox
(rightish), Citadel (uber right), Clear Channel/Premiere (quite
Right), etc.

The fact you'd even repeat such an obvious untruth is a testament to
your brainwashing.

Tell me a single Tea Party member who's sympathetic on Television
today.

Please list ANY major story which was critical of Obama that wasn't
broken by FOX News, Talk Radio, or Conservative New Media.
