Well, maybe your persuasion is affecting your perceptions as well.
Of course it does. I never said otherwise. But, since you are far left and concede the MSM is “just a bit” left, it is further left in reality. If you said the MSM was fair and balanced or conservative, they would only be “just a bit” left. 😃
 
I think I meant NPR
So you made a gaff. By your side’s criteria (NOT mine), you are a blithering idiot, then:D

Oh wait, you’re a liberal. Your side just thinks that you’re tired, then.🙂
 
Nonsense. People have listed several gaffes by Obama. Or, do you think he is just uneducated and didn’t know how to pronounce “corpsmen?”
He mispronounced corpsmen? That’s pretty amusing.🙂

I knew how verbally say “cupboard” growing up but for some reason always read “cup board” and didn’t equate the two.

I also thought carafe was “carafay” until my 30’s! 😃

Just an aside.

Where are we going agin. I’m confused.
 
“MSNBC and NPR- yes. I do not believe that NCC is overly biased”

So…you meant “MSNBC and NPR- yes. I do not believe that NPR is overly biased.” 🤷
OK- I don’t type so well at times.

NCC- I believe pretty balanced
NPR- left leaning- but I like it because it is more intellectually stimulating and goes deeper into stories. I usually learn something.
MSNBC- “in your face” Left
FOX- “In your face” Right

I don’t really watch much NBC, CBS, or ABC. I know in the 80’s and early 90’s they simply “read the news”, but now we have “infotainment” so things are different. I also don’t watch MSNBC or FOX because I dislike such explicit bias.

The Obama gaffe-o-matic, since you claimed he so rarely does it… Here are some examples that he may have, in your words, “an internal thought process, or a geralized lack of professionalism…”

“The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.” –in remarks after a health care roundtable with physicians, nurses and health care providers, Washington, D.C., July 20, 2009

“What I was suggesting – you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith…” –in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying “your Christian faith,” which Obama quickly clarified, Sept. 7, 2008

“UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.” –attempting to make the case for government-run healthcare, while simultaneously undercutting his own argument, Portsmouth, N.H., Aug. 11, 2009

“One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world – Navy Corpse-Man Christian Brossard.” –mispronouncing “Corpsman” (the “ps” is silent) during a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, D.C., Feb. 5, 2010 (The Corpsman’s name is also Christopher, not Christian)

“I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.” —at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon, May 9, 2008

I’ve heard of the UPS one and the 57 state one- which is grossly over-used BTW.

I just don’t see it. Yes Obama has gaffed- but he isn’t a “serial-gaffer” neither is Romney.

Biden, Bush, Palin, that Kennedy who almost ran for Congress but who couldn’t interview, that older Black Congressman who always says crazy stuff- I know there are MANY others but these are examples of “serial-gaffers”.

Oh and that guy who said “wetbacks” - that was a bad one. :eek:
 
Do you believe Obama didn’t know how many states there were?

CNN is not that biased, if at all biased.

The reporters ask hard questions to Obama all the time. That is the station I generally watch and that is my perception. Anderson Cooper especially does this- really getting on the Left when they deserve it.

You can see an overall effort to address both sides this election season. Now they are saying Obama is ahead because, well, he is.

I agree that MSNBC is biased as is FOX.
I agree with you that CNN is the closest to unbiased of the news networks. I can’t see how they can be accused of failing to criticize the left - they do it all the time. Last night Cooper was looking into the timing of the official version of the Libyan embassy attack and who caused it. Other examples this political season:

-they compared the attempts on both sides to lower expectations for the debate
-they looked at the Obama “redistribution” video, even if the story was totally lame and didn’t get much traction
-they looked at the outcome of the gunrunning investigation vis-a-vis Holder’s role
-they strongly critiqued the “my wife died from no insurance” ad (and grilled the representative of the superpac running it). I didn’t see them similarly grill those who ran the “taking work out of welfare” ad, even if they also critiqued that
-they bring Gergen on all the time (for the left) and he is regularly critical of the Obama administration’s actions
-they brought on people (from both sides) who criticized Obama for not meeting world leaders on his trip to the UN Gen. assembly

…there are daily examples of them trying to look at both sides of the issue, with the notable EXCEPTION that they buried the ‘peanut throwing incident’ involving their own employee the RNC. My guess it that’s because they didn’t want it to injure their image of being impartial. Nevertheless, it was wrong - because lesser racially-charged incidents than that make news all the time; it should NOT matter where it happened, it’s STILL news.

The only reason that I can see for calling CNN biased, is that they also hold the Right to account, for everything from birtherism to truth in campaigning. They do not seem to worship at the altar of “my side is right all the time because they are perfect” politics.

Of course, if FOX news is the yardstick, then they’re all biased liberal radicals and ‘balanced’ means giving air to every kooky idea a person dreams up about the trivia of Obama’s life…and calling that ‘journalism’.
 
CNN used to be much, much more biased. Fox News caused them to become more balanced in order to compete.

Al Gore was winning in September 16 2000 according to the polls

The Newsweek Poll: Bush Makes No Inroads

iun.edu/~mathiho/mathpol/fall00/newsweek-poll.h

To proclaim somebody is winning according to the polls now is ridiclous and Chris Wallace show know better as a news presenter he should know the historical record of polls better than most people

Rasmussen is showing Romney and Obama with in the margin of error because it is using a mix of 2004 and 2008 turn out. Most if not all of the others are using a 2008 turn out model when approval rating among key 2008 demographics thst won the Obama election is way down in swing states, like with youth and Jewish vote. If a poll, like NBC is claming the turn out will be higher in 2012 than it was in 2012 that has to be looked at sceptically but there is no evidence to suggest that is the registering advantage in Ohio. Democrat registration is down from what it was in 2008 in Ohio
The elderly, non-Orthodox “Seinfeld-Jewish” Floridian vote is NOT going to be in favor of R&R and is going to be cast for Obama in record numbers. I don’t need a poll to tell me that; I know the Florida-Jewish mindset quite well.

Wow…that’s quite a specific demographic. 😛

I know a family of FL-Jews as well. 😃

BTW- why is there this collection of Jewish folks down there? How did they end up there historically?

Just curious.

Check “History of Jews in Southern Florida” on wikipedia. There are presently over 500,000 living there.

I find the PBS News Hour also goes into depth and would characterize it as well-balanced or perhaps left-leaning.

Small poll of 254 registered voters, not even likely voters

Record numbers?
