HOW DOES THIS PROVE ANY SORT OF LEFT WING BIAS?

THIS PROVES PEOPLE WANT MONEY AND WILL CREATE MORE DRAMATIC SCENES IN ORDER TO GET PAID

salisburyboy's favorite question...

"BBC's Child Protection Policy Nowhere in Sight As Boy Posed Near Bomb":

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=/ForeignBureaus/archive/200608/INT20060825d.html

"The shell is huge, bigger than the young boy pushed forward to stand reluctantly next to [a bomb] while we get our cameras out and record the scene for posterity" (Martin Asser, BBC News, Bint Jbeil). This one is from the BBC's own site:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5270118.stm

I'm sure that the BBC was pursuing a CONSERVATIVE angle--as they are known for.

8/31/2006 4:14:51 AM

Of course, we've all alleged the BBC to be a conservative outlet...

8/31/2006 9:12:55 AM

european news should never be trusted

8/31/2006 12:22:22 PM

Because they can be guilty of things the American media can't.

8/31/2006 12:26:31 PM

So, Gamecat, you admit the BBC's left-wing bias?

9/1/2006 6:14:27 PM

HEY GUESS WHAT

EUROPE DOESNT FOLLOW THE SAME SHITTY DICHOTOMY WE FOLLOW SO IT DOESNT MATTER

9/1/2006 7:55:19 PM

I certainly admit they don't resemble profit-driven American news.

I mean, you've got to pick which bias you want. Corporate or government.

9/1/2006 7:59:27 PM

everyone with a brain knows that the American media has a corporate bias.

9/2/2006 1:38:56 PM

everyone with a brain knows the footage and coverage of the iraq war focuses more on the bad things than the good things

9/2/2006 2:15:09 PM

so, in a war should we cover where there isn't fighting?

9/2/2006 3:40:26 PM

hahah, Sari, nice try
But you see, when your covering a war, you don't have to film where there's no fighting

But if you're trying to give us an accurate idea of whether or not a country is at civil war, it would be nice to give us a base rate of what is going on in the country rather than driving up to every bombing and gun fight in a few cities and be like "all hell is breaking loose"

It'd be like filming the race riots in LA during Rodney King's incident and telling the whole world that the US is in civil war.
I'm not saying that it isn't worse over there than LA's race riots, but the comparison was meant to convince you that you do have to at least report on the whole country if we're going to know what's going on.

9/2/2006 7:17:03 PM

Wait, rewind the thread for a second. Since when was Reuters liberal? Also, how exactly is pro-Hezbollah propaganda liberal? It seems kinda the opposite. Did I miss a second half to the article in the OP?

9/3/2006 2:34:45 AM

I don't accept your either-or premise, Gamecat, which is also an either-or fallacy of logic. I want objectivity--to the fullest extent possible. Are you saying that shoving a little kid next to an unexploded bomb is in any way objective--or appropriate?

If a conservative were to put a child in danger in such a manner, you liberals would be squalling like a bunch of scalded cats. In any event, the guy who committed the unforgivable act in question should have his teeth knocked down his throat.

9/3/2006 5:58:03 AM

wait...when did the american public like it when everyone was going awesome and one was dead. They like it when there are civil wars and bombs and shit........its called ratings and if you film flowers then your ratings will be LOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. If this is a liberal bias then I guess making money and having high ratings is very liberal.

are you serious?

9/3/2006 12:51:01 PM

seeing as Hezbollah is a extreme right wing fascist highly religious organization.........

9/3/2006 12:52:37 PM

seeing as Bush, US Govt, republicans, right wing, etc support Israel.....

9/3/2006 12:53:52 PM

so being anti bush, government and israel makes you liberal.......makes complete sense.

too bad color tv came out in the 50's twista

9/3/2006 12:57:55 PM

please name me one single American right-winger who supports Hezbollah

9/3/2006 12:59:43 PM

please tell me how being against anything the president supports makes you a liberal. Too bad your stepping on the toes of lots of other people who arnt Liberals.

oh and I dont really care if any right wingers support hez. They are all too scared God is going to be mad if they dont help the jews out.

9/3/2006 1:01:18 PM

you have such a naive view of the right, it isnt even funny

9/3/2006 1:02:02 PM

if you cant name one single right winger that supports hezbollah

yet you claim pro hezbollah propaganda is not liberal...

9/3/2006 1:02:09 PM

I have a naive view of neo-cons because their thought process is so foreign to me it makes me sick. Conservatives were killed off awhile ago.

and treetwista, your view of life is so black and white its retarded. there isnt a big straight line in wich everyone just is nicely dropped on in the political world. I learned this stuff in middle school.

shades of Gray dude

9/3/2006 1:05:05 PM

ok let me ask you this...is pro-Hezbollah propaganda conservative?

9/3/2006 1:06:12 PM

no

and if a dog isnt a dog then it must be a cat......right?

9/3/2006 1:07:46 PM

so pro-hezbollah propaganda is NEITHER LIBERAL NOR CONSERVATIVE? what is it genius?

9/3/2006 1:08:10 PM

this is treetwista's world

conservative---------------------------------------------------------Liberal

have fun with that

9/3/2006 1:09:10 PM

hate to break it to you dentaldamn...but pro-hezbollah propaganda has swayed a number of liberals on tww...but oh i forgot its not liberal since you say its not

^PS i like how your dumbass put liberal on the right side and conservative on the left side...shows how bass ackwards your thinking process is

waaaait a sec....

i thought conservatives were on the right??

9/3/2006 1:11:50 PM

not according to dentaldamn...he's a smart guy

9/3/2006 1:12:30 PM

true....he must be...his middle school taught him things that i didnt learn in 5 years of college....i meaaaan....dang

9/3/2006 1:13:06 PM

according to dentaldamn, pro-hezbollah propaganda is moderate-independent thinking...something middle of the road...no extremists, left or right, support hezbollah...just middle of the road people...it must be middle of the road people who arent too passionate about politics who generally support terrorist organizations...COULDNT be the left extremists

9/3/2006 1:15:53 PM

Alot of people are so angry about how Israel is handling things, along with the US, they will blindly support anyone who is fucking with that. Its not liberal its just retarded or maybe Anarchy, who knows. No liberal imo should support any Islamic state or group because they're ideals are completely backwards to liberal thinking. Not supporting Israel and the Iraq war, however, does not mean you're supporting Hezbolah or whoever else, it just simply means you feel that these things are making situations worse and causing us more pain and problems.
this is what i believe at least.

9/3/2006 1:16:32 PM

^^ read what i just wrote because you dont understand.

hahaha

liberal ------------------------conservative.

sorry guys Im looking into a mirror.

[Edited on September 3, 2006 at 1:18 PM. Reason : BACKWARDS DAY!]

9/3/2006 1:17:49 PM

haha...he cant be serious...he cant possible be that naive


i tell you what...ill do a scan of all right wing websites that i can think off...and if i find one who supports hezbollah then ill let you know

in contrast....lets look at all left wing websites we can think off and do the same...

9/3/2006 1:18:27 PM

ok.....Im sorry you guys have such a narrow view of liberalism that you believe everything you read on the internet.

9/3/2006 1:19:40 PM

no trikk...his argument is something doesnt have to be liberal or conservative...it can be somewhere in the middle

now how many middle-of-the-road people support Iran's terrorist organization know as Hezbollah? Must be a shitload...I mean come on

sorry Dentaldamn...you can't stay in denial forever...keep telling yourself no liberal americans support hezbollah

9/3/2006 1:19:54 PM

im not talking about middle of the road people at all. As I said, political thought is not a straight line.

9/3/2006 1:21:24 PM

you seem to be doing a pretty good job backpeddling down that non-straight line

9/3/2006 1:22:09 PM

tell me once when I said any moderate supports hezbollah

[Edited on September 3, 2006 at 1:23 PM. Reason : !]

9/3/2006 1:23:25 PM

you didnt

but you cant tell me anything about anybody who supports hezbollah...i made the claim that its mroe liberals than conservatives...you disagreed with that claim, but then just started making blanket statements about the non-uniformity of the different political viewpoints...basically ignoring the question

so...WHO as far as Americans supports Hezbollah?

9/3/2006 1:26:33 PM

haha

well I have never met anyone who supports Hezollah, have you?

these liberals you're speaking of are people I have never talked to.

and I said that anyone who sopports Hezollah is not a liberal imo. Just as someone who supports greatly increasing the size of the US government isnt a conservative....ooopies.

\message_topic.aspx?topic=425014
\message_topic.aspx?topic=423624

i guess since i havent met these people in real life, then no i havent met anyone who supports hezbollah...but there are plenty of people in these 3 threads who do support hezbollah and think they're just wonderful humanitarians

PS: I believe most of them lean to the left

9/3/2006 1:35:04 PM

well I dont think abunch of dudes on TWW is a good way to base your claim.

most the people in those threads are saying that Hezollah is a legit army. This isnt really supporting them, the majority of those threads are idiots yelling about semantics.

you still think the world is black and white.

9/3/2006 1:40:35 PM

i dont think going off nothing at all to base your claim is a good idea either

9/3/2006 1:41:23 PM

wait, so logic cant be used to base claims any more?

shit

9/3/2006 1:43:09 PM

if you had used logic you might have a point
