On one hand you want to claim that your Media does make a distinction between news and opinion and on the other hand you also say they don't.
.
Which is it?
Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly have commentary shows whose purpose is to demonize all things liberal, if Fox News is Fair and Balanced where are the commentary shows that show the opposing view, that demonize all things conservative?Quote:

LOL! One lame guest once every two months that gets cut out or shouted at does make it an equal opposing view. I asked what other SHOWS give equal time to demonizing conservative values. Shows who spend their whole time doing that, which may occasionally bring in a conservative person. The answer of course is that there are none.Quote:

1) Do you know the difference between an opinion show and a news show?Quote:

Is the NY Times only Krugman? Is the Washington Post only Krauthammer?Quote:

In other words, to you honesty is a charade. No wonder you're confused.Quote:

The answer to your first question is, no I don't because I am not intelligent enough.Quote:

It would be strange if there weren't an inherent bias in the news content .
Really if you are going to do this sort of thing you should get some authoritative comment, not someone complaining about a comedian's remarks and for the record One Nation was some years ago and shook a government out of its lethergy even if the tactics were questionable.Quote:

We are also blessed with a certain amount of public satire which we know would be unacceptable in the northern hemisphere
A simple "yes, the media is biased in Australia" would suffice. Sneering down your nose at your friends across the pond is unnecessary.
Nothing is ever simple, remember Murdock learned his trade in Australia
We are not so biased we edit the news so that the population doesn't have a clue what is going on anywhere but at their own back door. Your politicians hold a lot of enquiries into what is going on, but it seems to me they wouldn't need to ask so many questions if they were better informed
Funny you post that after I posted on happenings in Afghanistan and we've been discussing the situation in Libya.
Not really from where I sit I see a vast difference between the depth of news coverage in our respective countries and in other places
I see a vast difference in snootiness in other countries, it seems to be rampant in Australia, Canada and Europe.Quote:
