Perchoutofwater Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Pot, Kettle, Black? About the MRC The mission of the Media Research Center, "America's Media Watchdog," is to bring balance to the news media. Leaders of America's conservative movement have long believed that within the national news media a strident liberal bias existed that influenced the public's understanding of critical issues. On October 1, 1987, a group of young determined conservatives set out to not only prove — through sound scientific research — that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values, but also to neutralize its impact on the American political scene. What they launched that fall is the now acclaimed — Media Research Center (MRC). Given the lack of coverage by the mainstream media regarding climategate, it would seem then MRC is needed. Wouldn't you agree? Or is this just more of the same, attack the messenger avoid the message. Edited December 4, 2009 by Perchoutofwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think you, Lady Hawke and the MRC need to get together and compare notes . . . Have any of the mainstream media reported on climategate? Yes or no? Do you not think based on current pending legislation and the fact that our President is scheduled (and one of our past VP's was scheduled but cancelled) to speak at a climate conference in Copenhagen that it should be discussed? Is that too crazy to expect news agencies to actually report the news? Or does it make you feel better when the so called news agencies bury their collective heads in the sand?

CNN is cable news, not mainstream media and not mentioned in what I linked. Mainstream media normally refers to ABC, CBS, and NBC which is mentioned in what I linked.

Pope Flick Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Don't sprain an ankle with all that backpedaling. No kidding. ETA - here's how behind the times you are perch; here are, however, a couple of notable exceptions to this pattern of stability. The percentage of Americans who regularly turn to cable news channels has edged up over the past two years. The overall audience for cable TV news exceeds that for network television news by a narrow margin: 38% of Americans say they regularly watch cable news channels, compared with 34% who regularly watch the nightly news on one of the three major broadcast networks. In April 2002, the two audiences were nearly identical in size 33% for cable news, 32% for network news. So while the nearly decade-long slide in network news viewership may have subsided, the networks now risk being eclipsed by their cable competitors. That's 5 years old.

If you would read what I linked it specifically said on their morning or evening news shows. It did not mention their website one way or the other.

Don't count on it, they are in bed with the scientific community and Obama administration; they are part of the vast left-wing conspiracy. Sure they report it, but you have to go through the laborious process going to their homepages on the innernets. We are all victims here.

It specifically says their news broadcasts. It's sad that you and your ilk are trying to pick this apart and defend these "news" organizations. Yet ya'll are the first to jump all over Fox.

Excuse me I should have stated "have any of the mainstream media reported on climategate on their television news broadcsts", though I thought it was implied since the first time I brought it up, I brought it up with a link that specifically talked about news broadcasts. What was I thinking. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me for thinking you could read something and put two and two together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
