The Big Cat Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 You must be joking, right? Whether or not they have a preordained agenda or not, you cannot seriously think that NPR is devoid of partisanship to a particular side which blatantly slants their reporting. I'm speechless. How could you possibly be that naive? There's simply no research to suggest NPR or its listenership is predominately liberal.
Gene Frenkle Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Regarding your reply to my #10...you're a !@#$ing idiot for saying that. There is a single group in power that has been in power for decades that has turned a large part of a city that could be one of if not the best in the world into a cesspool and your response is "eh, if you don't like it, move"? Sorry that's not how I operate. I know it's been like this for a long time so what can I do? Not sure but what I do here will allow me to get in front of people that can actually do something about it. This is a city of misdirected priorities. Can a homeless guy **** and piss in the street? I guees so. Can I buy foie gras in a restaurant? Apparently not. This is a city of unenforced laws, rules and regulations and all it would take is to enforce these rules and laws and the city would be much better. No, sorry I'm not leaving. I'm going to do what I can to make it better. Cover me....I'm going in. Yeah, I don't really care too much about SF. Just trying to get your blood boiling - did it work?
GG Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 There's simply no research to suggest NPR or its listenership is predominately liberal. We're not talking about listenership. We're talking about their reporting. If you don't think that it's delivered well left of center, then you still have a lot of learning to do. Maybe the very calm and soothing voices put you in a trance that you don't actually hear what's being reported. NPR has a lot of very good programs on the air, but only true believers would claim they're not politically biased.

GG Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 NPR is far, far better than most. Which might not be saying much... Don't disagree with that. Just the ridiculous assertion that they're not biased. Nice vocal tones, though.

He has his hands over his ears with his eye's closed yelling..."I'm not listening, I'm not listening" over and over and over............. My 6 year old does that sometimes
GG Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 It's simply not. Do your research. I do. It's called listening to the programs and making an observation of their reporting of facts that I know better than the reporters.
The Big Cat Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Don't disagree with that. Just the ridiculous assertion that they're not biased. Nice vocal tones, though. Well, if you consider allegations of too often pulling from conservative think tanks bias, then yes they are. On the other hand, if you consider their reporting on the Gaza Strip to be anti-Israel, thereby rendering them liberal, then yes, they are.
Gene Frenkle Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 He has his hands over his ears with his eye's closed yelling..."I'm not listening, I'm not listening" over and over and over............. My 6 year old does that sometimes Takes after his old man, huh?
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Sure, why not. Make a stupid request, get a stupid response. To say Obama has done nothing good, is like saying Bush did nothing good, both statements originate from a voluntary blind spot. As my comrade Gump says, "Stupid is as stupid does". You sure that list isn't something that Robert Gibbs' 6 year old son originally sribbled on a napkin during lunch hour?
DC Tom Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 He has his hands over his ears with his eye's closed yelling..."I'm not listening, I'm not listening" over and over and over............. My 6 year old does that sometimes About the only difference between a six year old and a college student is tuition.
erynthered Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Takes after his old man, huh? Only when I hear obama/lefttards speak about what a good job he's doing with the econmy, jobs, war, gitmo, etc.........
Chef Jim Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 Yeah, I don't really care too much about SF. Just trying to get your blood boiling - did it work? No, it actually got me pumped up and excited about doing something.
The Big Cat Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I do. It's called listening to the programs and making an observation of their reporting of facts that I know better than the reporters. So who does better reporting? And who's your NPR affiliate station you've made these observations listening to?
erynthered Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 About the only difference between a six year old and a college student is tuition. ......at least she lets me play with her coloring books.
Gene Frenkle Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Only when I hear obama/lefttards speak about what a good job he's doing with the econmy, jobs, war, gitmo, etc......... As opposed to how the economy, jobs, war, gitmo, etc......... are all his fault. If only those lefties had some perspective.
Magox Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 It's simply not. Do your research. I like NPR, they do lots of good work and research, but they do tilt to the left and there was a recent article from Politico that discussed this bias.
Magox Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 About the only difference between a six year old and a college student is tuition. and many cases of blue balls
Chef Jim Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 As opposed to how the economy, jobs, war, gitmo, etc......... are all his fault. If only those lefties had some perspective. Yes but when I see people inherit messes I like them to clean them up, not make them worse.
