    Fox anchor Megyn Kelly blasts Cheney.

    In an individual instance, yes, suppression would be accurate, or at least could be. News editors have an obvious bias that gets manifested in which stories they choose to report. This is true of the mainstream media as well as the conservative media and the liberal leftist media. (No, the...

    Another Dictator

    That's one of the two main philosophies of political representation. One is the people elect a representative to do exactly what he's been told, in effect electing someone to represent them in a strict majority rule (where the tyranny of the majority can usurp the wants, wishes and rights of the...

    Fox anchor Megyn Kelly blasts Cheney.

    I'm aware of that. Yes, ___A___ question can be answered yes. However, the journalism axiom, and Lesson One in how NOT to write a headline is, if the headline is a question WHICH CAN BE answered with NO, then the headline gives the reader no reason to continue reading beyond the headline...

    Fox anchor Megyn Kelly blasts Cheney.

    It's pretty simple, really. If the headline is a question that can be answered with "no" then that's usually the right answer and you can stop reading (because once the question has been answered there's no reason to continue reading). It's the difference between good journalism and bad...

    Netherlands Prepares for Self-Driving Trucks Within Five Years

    I don't see self driving trucks anytime soon picking up at Port Newark and delivering to Pittsburgh, for example, but I can see limited use on the Ohio Turnpike and on rural Interstates out west.

    Fox anchor Megyn Kelly blasts Cheney.

    Superseded by "ratings and money". Ethics and principles can be bought. Megyn "her parents should be slapped for that" Kelly grilling former Republican VP Cheney on Fox News is outrageous. Outrageous sells tickets, puts butts in the seats, garners ratings. Her tongue-in-White-Santa's-Cheek...

    Liberal leftist educators act again

    That's one of the most ridiculous things you've ever said on here (and that's saying a lot). Whether it's true or not has nothing to do with whether it is sensationalist. Something can be one hundred percent true and nevertheless be one hundred percent sensationalist. The root of sensationalism...

    Liberal leftist educators act again

    More objective because of shows the school official's comments more in context, and it doesn't include the opinions of the writer, and it doesn't include the laundry list. The laundry list is sensationalism, used to incense the partisan audience.

    http://connecticut.cbslocal.com/2014/06/18/student-accuses-high-school-of-blocking-conservative-websites/ The same story, reported more objectively. Note the subtle differences.

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    They aren't experts at all, which is why it's doubly ridiculous that you'd use such a ridiculous quote to make your case and prove your point. It's just another variation of argumentum ad populum - "See? Other people agree with me, AND it's in the Internet, so it MUST be true!"

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    You're trying to use the words of someone at Fox News who admits to not being objective to somehow show that Fox News is objective?

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    Very much so. And everything he said was colored by the fact that he has a vested interest in Fox News.

    Redskins and US Patent Office

    The Cincinnati Reds name is derived from hosiery. In 1869 the first openly-professional (not that there's anything wrong with that) baseball team was the Cincinnati Red Stockings. They went undefeated for their first year (57-0) and a half (81-0 overall), from their first game in April 1869...

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    The numbers are supposed to mean something? Conservatives trust and watch Fox News, and they don't trust or watch anything else. So, for conservatives, it's Fox News or nothing else. Liberals trust everything except Fox News, so they watch everything else, including broadcast news. Conservatives...

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    Are you serious? You find an opinion that agrees with you and cite it as the definitive "correct" version of the differences? The above isn't a description of the differences, it's a political rant. Articles on DifferenceBetween.net are given a rating as to the quality of the factual analysis...

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    That's the conservative narrative. "If it ain't conservative, it's socialism," because you're either with us and believe like us, and are therefore conservative, or you are against us and therefore are liberal. While there are certainly a lot of things that liberals want to do that are similar...

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    Yes. Fox News was invented specifically to provide a tabloid journalism partisan take on the news, not just in contrast to other News Networks, but to all of Mainstream Media in general. Rupert Murdoch knows that people can go anywhere for their news, but the more sensational it is and the more...
