"The next time somebody in the media denies that there is media bias, ask how they explain the fact that there are at least a hundred stories about the shrinking arctic ice cap for every one about the expanding antarctic ice cap, which has now grown to record size."

Reader comments about this quote:
What can be said of beings who are so benighted as to regard themselves as being irreproachable portrayers
of something such as they characteristically deny exists - objective reality.

Esteeming themselves to be wise, they have become utter fools.

Their hubris is boundless.

    The news media has it's agenda and it's far to the left, How else can you explain the media's working hard to drag the Hillary hag across the finish line. We dodged a bullet on that one.

    The MSM is a bought and paid for enclave of evangelical propagandists - set forth in a position to spread progressive dogmas of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land.

    The sky is always falling, apparently. Except that it hasn't, isn't, doesn't and won't.

    The real question is, what do these viewers get out of indulging in this? Why do they tune in, over and over, despite the falsity? It seems to me to be 'programming.' People are buying a narrative that puts the blame of their victimhood (powerlessness) on the other side of the tracks. Rather than pick themselves up, they riot in the streets.

    Hearts and minds are the real battlefield. The media could be so much more inspirational and empowering (the true service of the storyteller) -- I look to the 'little people' who often speak simple wisdom by telling it like it is. How refreshing!

    The biases we should be addressing is the intense neglectful behavior of social responsibilities being totally covered up, you  might call it the Maybelline effect.  A 100%  conventional racist, sexist, homosexual, violence is the answer for everything attitude, for instance. Human beings, by the way are tolerant, naturally creative, nonviolent, heterogenous, unconventional, redemptive, sincere social organisms.

    The statement raises an important point about media bias and the selective coverage of environmental issues, particularly regarding the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps. It's crucial to consider how media narratives can shape public perception by focusing more on certain aspects of climate change while downplaying others. Balanced reporting is essential for a well-informed society. For students analyzing media bias and its implications in law or environmental studies, seeking law assignment help can provide valuable insights, helping to strengthen arguments and research in related academic work. click here

    We are, in this description, in need of a more specificied detailed idea presented of the inappropriate behavior and it's connection. We have a technical idea presented, but what is needed is a more transparent and apparent inappropriate relational behavior involvement and how it effects our overall life sustainability. Please.

    Why would someone benefit from saying our coastal cities are in trouble of being submerged in to the sea's, if there's is no possibility?

    Why would 'someone' benefit from saying our coastal cities are in trouble of being submerged into the sea, if there's is no possibility?  Let me count the ways!  POWER!  Does anyone have the power to dictate to the world what they must do to prevent this theoretical danger?  Not yet, but they are working on it.  What is the proposed 'solution'?  Declare CO2 a pollutant and regulate it world wide, tax the people for any amount of CO2 that they may produce in the course of their lives  short of taxing their breath, I suppose, but who knows?!  Granting powers and centralizing them into fewer and fewer hands, choking the necks of nations, cutting off their air, closing down their power stations, regulating their farms and production.  POWER!

    You communists always end up killing millions in pursuit of such utopian ideals, empty promises that only fatten the Politburo.  You are an utter fool, Fred, and willingly so.

    BTW the tide lines of Plymouth Rock are the same as they were in 1620.
