Media Bias Is Reaching Absured Levels
2008-07-18 07:30:00
We all know that the majority of the media in this country needs to change their underwear every time they talk about Barack Obama, but the bias for him is starting to reach levels that have never been seen. The “Big 3″ are sending their anchors across Europe and the Middle East with Sen. ...
Yay, More Media Bias
2008-07-15 01:05:00
Looks like the MSM is starting to mirror blogtopia more and more.About the AP:Ron Fournier says he regards Sandy Johnson, his predecessor as head of The Associated Press?s Washington bureau, as ?a mentor.?Johnson, though, regards Fournier, who replaced her in a hard-feelings shake-up in May, as a threat to one of the most influential institutions in American journalism.?I loved the Washington bureau,? said Johnson, who left the AP after losing the prestigious position. ?I just hope he doesn?t destroy it.?There?s more to her vinegary remark than just the aftertaste of a sour parting. Fournier is a main engine in a high-stakes experiment at the 162-year old wire to move from its signature neutral and detached tone to an aggressive, plain-spoken style of writing that Fournier often describes as ?cutting through the clutter.?In the stories the new boss is encouraging, first-person writing and emotive language are okay.So is scrapping the stonefaced approach to journalism that accepts po...
More Silly Bias from CNN
2008-07-11 23:16:00
While watching CNN while doing cardio, I noted yet again obvious bias of that “news” network, with Wolf Blitzer dwelling forever on a story that even the network’s own Jeffrey Toobin, obsequious legal court jester to the media elite, dismissed. Based on one law professor who just happens to teach in McCain’s home state (a fact ...
Bloggers v. MSM: We, at least, Acknowledge Our Bias
2008-06-02 21:18:00
Commenting on my recent Pajamas piece, McCain?s Straight Talk Express Stops in Beverly Hills, Eric Scheie singled out a number of paragraphs, including the penultimate one wherein I acknowledged my bias as I praised the presumptive Republican nominee for the manner in which he fielded reporters’ questions. Wrote Scheie: I also see myself as a blogger ...
Media Bias, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Spin
2008-05-28 21:33:00
Here we go again. The war of words. Obama blunders, Hillary blurbs. Is it any wonder the American people are fed up with politics? Just what kind of campaigns are being wrought here? You can blame the media for their bias all day long, but both of these candidates most certainly have given us too ...

Keith Olbermann's Bias Against The Military Is Showing
2008-05-24 05:57:00
So I'm on the eliptical machine at the gym and low and behold my favorite idiot comes onto the tv. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over the channel, so I just pop my ipod on and read the subtitles in case he says something stupid.While his condemnation of Hillary's "RFK assassination" comments were fairly accurate, I have noticed one thing; liberal politicians aren't on his "worst person in the world" commentary. He lambasts a General at Guantanamo Bay for basically saying that the inmates there aren't tortured and they basically live like they are in a frat house, and he's one of the "worst people in the world". Yet, Hillary gets much more of Keith's time and she's not the "worst person in the world" or even in the top 3.What's worse is that I've now noticed (maybe I'm a bit slow here), that military officials are constantly on this list, but liberal politicians aren't. That's not journalism Keith. That's showing favoritism. ...
Obama, Appeasement and Media Bias
2008-05-19 02:45:00
Another sign of the Democrats grasping at straws in their eagerness to attack Republicans is their attempt to read an attack on the likely Democratic presidential nominee in President Bush’s address last Thursday to the Knesset in Jerusalem. Yet, in that speech, the president made no reference to Barack Obama nor to the Democratic Party, mentioning ...

Let's cut Obama some slack here because people make mistakes. Nevertheless can you imagine how the media would be reacting if it was McCain who said the same thing. The stories would be all about how the old codger is very forgetful and has no stamina. The reality according to Marc Ambinder, who's traveled with both candidates is that McCain is the one with more stamina: Those of us who...

NY Times: Democrats and Fox News Make Friends
2008-05-02 21:15:00
The media is making a big deal out of the fact that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama decided to appear on Fox News! Whoa!

New Time mag cover epitome of elite media bias

Media bias? What Media Bias? With that question in mind, I had to do a double take when I found out via the Business and Media Institute that for only the second time in 85 years Time magazine decided to forgo its traditional red border for green for its April 21 issue. Not only that, but "Time took the famous Iwo Jima photograph by Joe Rosenthal of the Marines raising the American flag and
The Morning Call - Poor Journalism and Bias
2008-04-18 07:22:00
The Morning Call published an article about presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama supporter Rep. Patrick Murphy appearing on "The Colbert Report" with Stephen Colbert at 10:08 p.m. EST, over an hour before the show even aired. The article questions whether or not Hillary's appearance will influence the young voters.Scott Kraus of The Morning Call writes:"By appearing on a show like 'The Colbert Report,' an influential if satiric source of information for younger voters, Clinton could send a message that she's human, said Chris Harper, associate professor of journalism at Temple University"So is this article bias or just incomplete? I say both!Also appearing on the show was former presidential hopeful John Edwards. He took over the "Word" sequence, changing it to "EdWords" and humored the crowd for a couple of minutes. But the biggest error in the article comes in this paragraph: "U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-8th District, a Barack Obama supporter, closed the show ...

A fair criticism of McCain from the Nation and conservative book bias
2008-04-10 00:50:00
This article criticizing McCain's handling of the Rockefeller affair seems fair. It's tough to counter such attacks without seeming self-righteous. The article isn't filled with the mocking invective one expects of the Nation. Another article has cases of conservative bias in a textbook. That's a switch! The criticisms aren't serious, but they are valid.Powered by b2evolution.
Racial Bias in Shootings
2008-04-05 23:42:00
This is an interesting read: Target Practice: Racism and Police Shootings Are No Game Basically there is a computer shoot/no-shoot simulation and it seems that the general population is slightly more likely to shoot black people than white people. The simulation has people holding weapons (shoot targets) and things like cell phones and soda cans (no-shoots.) Apparently police officers do better than general public and exhibit less racial bias. The online version of the simulation can be found here read more

Convertible bias: AFA trades in Ford, eyeing GM
2008-03-28 13:38:00
Remember a few weeks back when, after a two year period, the obsessively anti-gay folks at the American Family Association up and ended their Ford boycott amidst vague claims that they'd gained some sort of unspecified ground with the automaker? And do you recall how Ford repeatedly denied that the AFA had scored any victories, with the company instead suggesting that the "pro-family" group had simply made a choice to put the brakes on their queer-hostile endeavor? And remember how when those of us on the pro-gay side tried to get the AFA to explain themselves in the face of Ford's public declarations, yet only got more runaround and more ambiguous claims of "victory"? Yea, well, get ready to let that whole fun process begin anew. For the AFA has now moved on from Ford altogether, picking a new car-making target at whom to cast their gay-antipathetic stones: ::sigh:: What the hell gives these folks the right to go apeshit simply because a company dares to advertise to the L...
Can ADHD Bias Cut Both Ways?
2008-03-27 05:00:00
I always feel like I'm walking into a minefield when I talk about ADHD.  On the one hand, I don't want to diminish the problems faced by those who truly do struggle with the disorder.  On the other hand, there is legitimate concern about over-diagnosis of ADHD among boys, the possibility that classic boy traits might be mistaken for ADHD, or that long-term medication for ADHD in boys might have unexpected and negative effects.  So I want to be sensitive to those with ADHD, while still acknowledging the concerns of those who worry about over-diagnosis.  Theoretically, this shouldn't be a problem, as wrong diagnoses hurt both parties by trivializing the disorder for those who have it and wrongly treating those who don't.  Then again, theoretically, Britney Spears might join a convent and I might win the lottery.  Splitting hairs like that is generally a good way to please no one.  And yet, I'm going to persist.  Because I'm a glutton for p...

Should Craigslist Be Cleared of Housing Bias?
2008-03-18 00:42:00
Posted from the FlippingHomes.com Real Estate Investing Blog Should Craigslist Be Cleared of Housing Bias? If you’re reading these words right now, chances are very high that you’re at least somewhat familiar with the online über-classifieds destination Craig’s List.  A while back we even did a couple of reviews of Craig’s list-related Real Estate Marketing Service and Teamwork Lead System. What you may not know is that it can be fairly common for some of the housing advertisements on Craigslist to be notably discriminatory.   Ads with statements like: “NO MINORITIES” “Requirements: Clean Godly Christian Male” “Only Muslims apply” Those of us in the real estate business (investment or otherwise) know pretty commonly that, regardless of personal opinion or preference, advertisements like this are a big Fair Housing no-no, and should always be avoided.  But apparently more than a few have been testing the waters over at Craig’s.  A...
Interview & Training Bias

It’s hard to have good feelings about bias. The word immediately generates negative sentiment and is definitely to be avoided. Bias is ugly because it leads us up the garden path. We can’t even see it in action because it is an inherent part of our cognitive functioning. Knowledge of bias puts things in context and makes ...
