And Speaking of Imbalanced…

Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (whom I met and conversed with on several occasions while going to high school with her oldest son Lucas) has apparently now completely lost her mind.  This is opposed to her partial insanity manifested earlier through her apparent fear of all things not heterosexual.

I’ve quite honestly been saddened to find out the kind of leader she really is.  She seemed so nice before she was a state Senator and (currently)  a US Congresswoman.  I can recall one evening when she served Lucas, Dan, and I snacks one night while working on a US History class project for Mr. O.  Always polite, she gave me the impression she was a loving, caring mother and wife.  She probably was and still is.  Now it seems that the loving and caring only extends to her immediate family and to extremists who share her views.

Fairly Imbalanced

Courtesy of FoxAttacks.com, this video is a very telling montage of FOX NEWS clips concerning Senator Obama.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t FOX purport to be (at the top of its figurative lungs and at any opportunity it can find) the source for FAIR & BALANCED reporting of the news? Don’t get me started on O’Reilly either. The man has an argumentative style reminiscent of five-year olds: change the subject when being asked a tough question, interrupt the other party when they’re not answering the way he wants them to, shout them down when he’s decided its his turn to hog the mike again, and interrupt them again to provide a patently propagandist answer to a question he’s asked two seconds ago. O’Reilly aside, before watching this video, I admit my opinion of FOX wasn’t roses and daffodils, but to be honest I was under the mistaken assumption that their bias was minimized and kept at least somewhat in check. I was also willing to concede the possibility, however slim, that CNN might be just as biased.

I was wrong. Its easy enough today to find cable news clips online ala YouTube and other sites. After viewing a few more clips directly from FOX and some from other news sources on the same news topics, it was easy to see who’s news desk had worse bias and in what direction.

My Revised Opinion On the Netrality of the Media:

NETWORK	NEW RATING	OLD RATING
FOX	///	/
CNN	\|	\
ABC	\	\

table key: / = bias to the right | = neutral or bias undefinable by right to left spectrum \ = bias to the left
