Republicans: What if the right-wing media is foolin' ya?

Could it be possible that they're telling you the rest of the media is "liberal" because they only want you listening to them?

Update:

First of all I don't watch television and second I look to a variety of sources for my information. I don't believe in the "liberal media" bull crap because it tends to be the opposite in many cases.

    ... Oh boy, here they come with the "most watched" nonsense about Fox. Of course it's the most watched because Murdoch gives it away for free, so it's in every basic cable package. The other networks charge.

    Extended exposure to Fox News makes voters stupid, university study finds

    Or perhaps you are too brainwashed by liberal media to notice?

    If you are a liberal I don't expect you to see the bias on your favorite news sources any more than a conservative would see the bias in their news sources--

    In my experience, you all just like the news source that is biased towards your own views and think of it as "balanced" while you point fingers and snigger at the ones that don't support your own views (which doesn't necessarily make them wrong about things-- but any extremist will never see it).

    Frankly-- I'm a registered Republican but my political views are fairly moderate-- and most mainstream media to me are too sensationalized to go to for information. More left than right, but really to ridiculous extremes. Even the Associated Press reporters have been getting more and more biased on political coverage.That's why I look for a variety of news outlets and always look to verify the facts and source myself before I buy one side.

    Nope they aren't fooling us. For one thing, I rarely watch Fox. And another thing, we can see how liberal the rest of the media is for ourselves. And it's really been more noticeable since Obama ran for and has been President.

    Why did the "media" drive into the ground Palin not coming up with what she reads off the bat? But you never heard about "God Damn America!!!" or "Typical white person" or "... cling to their guns, bible, and (racism)" or all the self admitted commies Obama's hired or Bill Ayers or his self admitted "muslum faith" or how he himself vowed to bankrupt the coal industry.

    Never really hear about that on the "news" do you?

    And could Olbermann be spouting the evils of Fox News because it is the most watched cable news network in America? Hmm. I wonder. Obviously!! It's all a ratings game. Honest journalism is gone.

    You just have to read left wing media to know that right wing media is not lying.

    Do ya really think we only listen to one media? We're not like left wingers, we have open minds but know how to keep our eye on the ball. Liberals should try it.
