Just heard about this. MSNBC gave a half a million dollars to the Democratic governors. I think its wrong for a news organization to so overtly support one party over the other. Definitely makes you wonder about objectivity.

I agree. But I honestly I think a blind, def, mentally challenged, foreign born 5 yr old could be exposed to 5 minutes of CNN or Fox News and KNOW exactly which parties they are supporting.

$500,000 is a nice chunk of change though.I just can't wait until 2012 when these clowns tell us that they are going to do whatever they can to get us out of these tough economical times and Yet Both Presidential canidates will spend $30 Million+ on their campaign.:crazy:

Oops. Made a mistake. It wasn't MSNBC.

It was the Fox News Corp.

And they gave a cool million to the Republican Governors Association.

My mistake....

Want to go look up all the contributions that News Corp. has made to Democrats? They're not exactly partisan.

Poorly presented trap. No one is going to buy LG stepping across the aisle to actually practice the even-handedness he's constantly rambling about.

No, your mistake is thinking anyone here sees you as anything but a ridicule worthy clown who couldn't cut it in the private sector.

I'll remember that when double checking the ADP printout for the private law firm of which I am a founding partner.

You are kidding, right?

The MSM gave Obama positive coverage and cover on negative issues. It was a typical pattern but more extreme than usual for the MSM to help Dems. Their editorial and reporting bias has been worth much more than $500K over the decades.

The press has never been "objective". The notion of the unbiased press was a productive of the Progressive age when most intellectuals and notable political leaders ascribed basically to liberal ideas... only one voice, theirs, was required from the media or religion for that matter. They controlled education, the media, gov't, big labor, AND big business for years without effective opposition.

I fully support this contribution and respect MSNBC's public acknowledgement of what the NYT, WP, AJC, AP, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc continue to lie about... they are mouthpieces for the left and Democrats.

I also believe that a partisan press like the US has now and had up until the early 1900's is very, very healthy and will do a better job of assuring the truth is told.

If you are a lawyer... the standards are too low.

You should at least be aware of the original constitutional arguments and ideals to become a lawyer.

My first answer is even better now that I've seen LG's "trap".

If you work to build a worldview that is consistent with itself... you don't have to worry about stupid traps like that one.

Murdoch gives $1 million to GOP; Let's look at who gets campaign cash from NBC, CBS, ABC execs, shall we? | Washington Examiner

Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | Washington Examiner

since you're not capable of providing anything resembling context, I'll do your work for you.

You can't have it both ways. Its the GOP that insists on recognizing the distinction between the corporation and its owners and managers.

The Fox News Corp ITSELF gave the GOP governors a million dollars.

So what? The MSM has given the Dems and particularly Obama far more in favorable news coverage. They've often carried Dem talking points as straight news. Commercials go for 100's of thousands and last a minute at most, right? How much would hour after hour on CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Public TV, etc be worth? Billions?

Full page ads in the NYT's are worth thousands for a single day, right? How much would virtually every "news story" be worth?

Partisan media is honest and healthy in a free society... in fact you can NEVER hope to have a free and informed society when all the news comes from one ideological bent.

LG and hat: two lawyers with attractive avatars and noteworthy epeens.

LG, you could have (at the very least) waited until someone said something stupid before you set off your "trap". I'm not sure what you were trying to gain by post #6 in this thread. The previous four posts had said nothing that made your trap a success. Instead, all of the above were correct in their observation that objectivity falls short in all media organizations.

I'm wondering, were you just trying to give us news that is old? Or was there a point in all of this?
