[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1893927, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3] More than once, FOX has been interested in hiring people from the left as well as from the right. I don't remember his name right now, but after the 2008 Democratic primary was over with, one of Hillary Clinton's major campaign execs was hired by FOX. When he was asked why he became affiliated with FOX, he stated that FOX was the ONLY network on either cable or broadcast TV that was fair in their coverage of Hillary. I once even wanted to be a journalist, so I still have a great interest in the news media. The main-stream media has long been biased. Read the book, Bias, by Bernard Goldberg, who was a CBS correspondent. He clearly explains that the media is so set in their ways that even a true middle-of-the-road presentation of news is considered as being right-wing by the media. Most of the main stream media folks live and work with those of their own left-wing philosophy and have thus begun to believe that they, the left-wing, are really middle-of-the-road. Personally, I tend to get my news from talk radio (conservative) and The Drudge Report. Then, I go out and independently look for information that can verify what I read or heard from those sources. It might amaze some to know, but years ago, there were two UCLA professors who conducted a study of various news outlets, including The Drudge Report. All of their study was based on the content of the news presented as it was presented by each news outlet. The Drudge Report was labeled in their report as "Liberal" because Drudge linked to news stories that were initially reported in liberal news sources more often that to right leaning sources. As I had stated in an earlier forum thread about the movie 2016, I knew of most of the information in the movie before the movie. However, I've never seen so much of that information put together as well as D'Sousa did it. Now, since I've confessed that I once wanted to be a journalist, I have to praise the fact that I "failed" in college. Otherwise, if I had become a journalist, basing on the philosophies of most of the media, I would be forced to commit suicide for being in such a business.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
