NOBODY is BASHING Bush. Bashing is like saying "Bush is a cocksucer caus of the war." NO news program is saying that! I havent seen a news program that delievers political news with a bias. They give both sides of the agrument as they should. Althoguh, I have to agree with you the MTV sponsering the "vote or Die" campaign was biased. But otherwise I DONT see a bias. They had a special on Fahrenheit 9/11 where they asked questions to Republicans who went tos ee the movie and they showed what they're view of the movie was. I agree I think you see a media bias because you're living in a state with a media bias. It's not the country, I think it's just a few states that are very Left Wing. Like come down to Right-Wing Texas. You'll see a news bias to the conservatives. |
Well, they dont have to say things that come straight forward like that. Its called Subliminal messages. Look at what Dan Rather did. Im saying, theres liberal bias in a lot of channels. which ones?
SNL is constant Bush bashing, and what really pushed me over the edge is a little thing SNL did when Robert DeNiro hosted. It was durring Christmas time. Robert Smigel, the guy who makes all the T.V Funhouse segments, made a segment with clayed versions of Al Franken, Moby, and some other really liberal people with Santa. On the slay, they were flying over the U.S, and the Red States were marked Dumbf**kistan, while the Blue States were marked as Canada. While visiting a girl with Christian Values in a Blue state, they talked about the true meaning of Christmas and why it was celebrated. The girl got into a religious discussion, and Franken and Santa started making fun and basicly instulted the girl for being Religious, and called her a Religious biggot and things like that. That
really offended me, as im sure it offended the people in Red and Blue states.
In '98, I remember Comedy Central making fun of Utah Senater Orinn Hatch and Pennsylvania Senater Rick Santorum for opening up the Lewinsky case on President Clinton.
VH1's Cartoon Show, ILListrated constantly made fun of Bush and even Bush voters w/ the whole religious thing.
Family Guy, has tons of subliminal messages, especially about Christians. 8/10 times in that show, there is always something about Jesus.
Infact, I can recall them saying..
"Woah.. this is the blood of Christ?"
"Yes"
"Damn, this guy must have been stoned like 7 days a week".
Also, its not just the TV and Newspapers, its also the Music and Movies.
If you have seen Mayor Of Mooseport, about a man who elected the mayor by cheating, and ends up destroying the whole city, is kind of what subliminal message Hollywood puts out of the Bush administration.
How about an Anti-Kerry/Democrats song?
System of A Down : B.Y.O.B (Bring Your Own Bombs)
Chorus:
Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!
Eminem's Mosh :
All the people up top on the side and the middle
Come together lets all bomb and swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush, F*** Bush, until they bring our troops home (c'mon)
Jadakiss' Why :
Why'd Bush knock down the towers?
Green Day's Minority :
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority
Green Day's American Idiot :
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind f*** America.
(not only labeled at President Bush, but labeled at people like me who vote based on Religion and things like that)
Green Day's Holiday :
beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
As much as I like some of these songs, I still strongly disagree with them.

Dont get me wrong, im all for freedom of expression and speech, and im not gonna try to silence people when I hear something I wouldn't want to, but all of those Right wing Biased newspapers aren't as bad as the media is. Hollywood, represents and feeds entertainment to America, at home and overseas. Even if you have Right wing biased, its only on 1 Television station, and thousands of smaller newspapers that aren't sold outside of the state. Larger, left leaning Newspapers like the L.A Times, and the N.Y Times, are sold across the states, and even if its not Newspapers or sations, its Music and Movies - and thats something the right doesn't have, but the left does. Most teens at my school dont watch the news at all, they make decisions by what they hear in their music, and the subliminal messages they see in Cartoons and movies, that Republicans are racist bloodthirsty demons, and the Religion and Christianity is filled with hate.
