The Myth of Media Bias

What a difference a day makes. Texas Rainmaker notes these two headlines.

Before Elections:

Poverty, anger with government fueling Taliban support in Afghanistan

After Elections:

Poll: Afghans express confidence in countryâ€™s direction, security

Then there's Ace's observation that MSNBC links the Democratic victory to the all time high stock market--never mind the fact that the stock market had broken all time high records for the past two weeks.

Hella good.

3 Hell, fellas, I'm looking forward to the outpouring of good news we'll be hearing about from the MSM. Michael J. Fox is about to be cured, evolution will no longer be a theory, and we'll hear nothing about the headchopping boys, no matter their crimes. They now have a free pass to murder unobstructed, at least for the time being.

Now, here's some money-making advice. Invest in gold and especially silver, buy a large generater that runs on natural gas or propane, buy some farmland in the country, buy every gun you ever wanted, lay in a goodly supply of food, and get ready to make money when everybody finally decides they need the same damn things.

5 You guys really can reach, can't you.

6 Actually, Professor, I have already heard Rangel calling for gun control, insulting the people of the state of Mississippi, and doing the things that come natural to him. He can't help himself, because a fool will always behave like a fool.

You and your allies in the MSM will have a difficult job trying to cover up for the Rangels of the Democratic Pary fringe Left. Frankly, I look forward to having a great time watching you implode and dance around trying to hide the mess.

You see, Prof, you can't control these guys, and what they believe in will not sound so good to most Americans who really have no idea how radical these guys are. I shall have a grand time, as I am already doing.

7 One need only read jesusland joe sarcastically opining that under Democratic rule "evolution will no longer be a theory" to understand how little weight to assign his views. As far as this small corner of the internet is concerned, it's almost as if no time at all has passed since the Pope ordered Galileo to recant.

Posted by: Professor von Nostrand at November 09, 2006 09:35 PM (UiiiU)

8 Hahaha, and the Professor is now God, and is proclaiming that evolution is not a theory. Yes, yes, assign my views little merit, professor, and continue your pretense of intelligence. Didn't you just say a few minutes ago that we killed 650,000 Iraqis? I think someone would have noticed all those dead bodies, you dumb ass.

Posted by: jesusland joe at November 09, 2006 09:46 PM (8PoNP)

9 Professor,

"Galileo" isn't proof of evolution. Forget proof, you can't even show me EVIDENCE for evolution.

It's a theory only (and not a very good one).

10 Watch out, Carlos, Professor God will "assign little weight to your views". What a hoot. Apparently, he is used to intimidating and arguing with freshmen, typical of a chickenshit liberal. I think your beenie is on crooked, Professor, better check. You're going backwards, turn the prop around. You'll get it sooner or later. Keep trying.

11 I'm watching silver prices. I figure the base price should be about $4, and anything over that is the "fear premium".

Most of that being demand in Moslem countries.

The price jumped from $12.60 to $13.10 today.

Posted by: Phillep at November 09, 2006 11:37 PM (WbyuY)

I rest my case.

Posted by: Professor von Nostrand at November 09, 2006 11:37 PM (UiiiU)

13 Yeah the stock market is going GREAT !! It only took what 6 years to go up from 11000 to 12000. Gee that's almost 9% !!
Of course adjusted for 6 years of inflation..... not quite so good.
And adjusted against the Euro even worse losing about 1/3 of its value from 2000 to 2006

14 Hmm...I made a lot of money in the stock market over the past few years. But I didn't have you doing the math, John, so I probably lost money, not even realizing it. Thanks, John, that new Maxima is probably a mirage. But it sure is a pretty mirage. I think I'll go out and drive it right now.

15 Watch out, Carlos, Professor God will "assign little weight to your views".

LOL.

I care.

16 Can't believe that idiot John Ryan. Never mind him Carlos. He's one of these experts who wouldn't know how to buy into the market. Cry baby losers must keep on crying about something. Even if it's something they don't understand. Exxon profits adjusted for inflation. About 300%. Enjoy your new car. I've been feeling patriotic lately so I just traded my Toyota Tundra for a new four door Ford Explorer 4 X 4. We must have our toys. Can't go anywhere in the Hummer. People bug you to death asking about it. Yes life has been tough. For some idiots who bitch instead of partipate.

17 That be a 4 door Ford Explorer 4X4 pickup. Got to stay country.

18 John Ryan has forgotten what made the stock market plummet six years
ago and the long swim to the surface is never an easy ride. How
long did it take to recover from the crash in 29? Granted that
was worse, but it doesn't happen overnight. Yet, up it has come
steadily and surely. Nothing of course like the false values put
on dot com companies which cause it to soar and then plummet when we
found out the dot come owners were so irresponsible with their new
found wealth. You prefer roller coaster rides? Fine.
They're in Orlando. If you leave now you can be there while the
weather is still good.

19 I think all the really good roller coasters are in Ohio. Cedar Point has some good coasters. I always thought Disney coasters were too "family friendly" and tame.

20 Forget proof, you can't even show me EVIDENCE for evolution.

It's a theory only (and not a very good one).

JC--actually Merriam-Webster online defines a theory as:

"A plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena <the wave theory of light>."

Typically, the posits put forth by a theory are logically and empirically provable, and can be tested for accuracy multiple times against a set of criteria. In other words, "theories" are not articles of faith, as is religon.

Posted by: Gleep! at November 10, 2006 07:28 PM (a7sMc)

21 Everything is a theory. 2 + 2 = 4 is just a theory. One day we might find that it's actually 4.0000000000001. Evolution has been proven as well as anything has been proven.

22 Typically, the posits put forth by a theory are logically and
empirically provable, and can be tested for accuracy multiple times
against a set of criteria.

And that's precisely why the "theory" of evolution isn't science, it's faith-- there's no evidence for it, it's not observable, and it can't be tested.
