Perhaps you'd be happier sitting by yourself with some crayons and a colouring book? Challenge yourself and try to colour within the lines. 😉
Is there any chance we are going to get back on topic?
Well either way sounds plausibleto me.
Anyways kaidaboo I guess you will be a lot happier in ...let's say the Off-topic forum...where people talk aboot....well pretty much nothing of any importance....this thread is a discussion aboot the strength of the media and politics in the US if you don't like it....well then go away.
To get back on topic. It seems to me that most of your (America's) bigger News Channels seem to be biased in one way or another even though I believe the more powerful ones are conservative......for some reason this is totally different here in Germany....of course you can sometimes see which station is more conservative and which is more social - democratic but overall they give everyone a fair chance...and bring the news mostly unbiased.
You know its funny, there was a discussion going on that argued with what JM would believe, she makes one post and suddenly the discussion is gone.
She's not as stupid as most of you think, she's probably really brilliant doing all this stuff just to annoy all of you...
Anyways, its probably harder to do in Germany, as you have more then two party's that matter. Its a lot harder for the media to pick sides when there are a lot more sides to choose from. They could still do it, but its going to be hard. They can pick on one party, but its hard to destroy one and glorify another when there are several channels all with different favorites. If you had a two party system it would probably be the same as in the US

Well thats true ...... but really a two party system is quite stupis anyways. Well mayb e all people in your country either think what the democrats do is right or what the conservatives do, then your system would be just great....but I don't belive that all 300 000 000 people in your country have only two different opinions...you can always just vote for the lesser evil since o totally agree with one of the parties seems to be rather impossible....
And for your media, regardless of a two party system, they sjhould go back to what they were intended to be a non biased source of truth.....as someone said before the media was always powerful but at least they were fair in earlier times.
I live in the Netherlands we have more then two party's and less then 300.000.000 people, anyways the media should indeed go back to being a none bias organisation. Not that it would work though.
Your from Germany so lets just take an example from that country, most people in Germany agree Hitler was an idiot right? How would you feel if the media all the media would suddenly start defending his points because in his eyes they were right. The Media is bias they always have been, either bias to the idea's of the country they are stationed in. Or biased towards the one that gives them most money. An trully unbiased Media would not be accepted by most people, so it has to be biased.
If your biased anyways then why not make some money out of it?

I'm afraid that is going to require a little more explaination.
Sorry I was relating to the US of course
Of course they were not unbiased.....I meant to say that they were fair in earlier times (leave thinks like Hitler and other propaganda out of course).
What you said aboot a media that tries to defend Hitlers policies would firast of all be totally biased...none the less you can have different view points on what hitler has done...and because there afre slightly biased Medias you have a chance to get fair coverage of most things....if there is a monopoly of same way biased media though (Like it seems to be in the US) you won't get fair coverage of both sides.
Of course you won't get fair coverage, but the fact remains that Hitler (although almost everybody would thank god disagree with him) still made points that people agreed with.
An unbiased media would talk about the advantages and disadvantages of such a policy right now that couldn't happen because of several reasons. And I really can't blame Germany for not showing things like that, or any other country for that matter. a more unbiased media however i agree would be a good thing. Accepting what is socially accepted but not following one political party.
CNN is only good when there are big events around the world. Like 9/11 and the tsunami. I watched the Canadian channels during the Iraq war, because the American channels were so biased but funny. Guys, remember the Iraqi information minister. He said we killed all of them at the airport while they showed video of US soldiers sitting at the airport. Many Canadian channels showed a less biased story.

Every time you post you make yourself look like a bigger fool.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person on the planet.
As for the major news stations, I just think that things have changed alot in the last few years, it seems that since 9/11 they are very hesitant to question anything that the president does, and even less likely to challenge him, seek any reasoning behind his action or hold him responsible.
All Bush has to do is say things like,"Protect America from terrorism" or "enemies of freedom" and everyone (i.e. the media) just nods their heads and agrees.
