15 Things Everyone Would Know If There Were A Liberal Mediahttp://i1350.photobucket.com/albums/p771/akadjian/liberal_media_zps197d95d2.jpg


1. Where the jobs went.

Outsourcing (or offshoring) is a bigger contributor to unemployment in the U.S. than laziness.

Since 2000, U.S. multinationals have cut 2.9 million jobs here while increasing employment overseas by 2.4 million. This is likely just the tip of the iceberg, as multinational corporations account for only about 20 percent of the labor force.

2. Upward wealth redistribution and/or inequality.

In 2010, 20 percent of the people held approximately 88 percent of the net worth in the U.S. The top 1 percent alone held 35 percent of all net worth.

The bottom 80 percent of people held only 12 percent of net worth in 2010. In 1983, the bottom 80 percent held 18 percent of net worth.

These statistics are not Democratic or Republican. They are widely available to reporters. Why aren’t they discussed in the “liberal” media?



3. ALEC.

If there was a corporate organization that drafted laws and then passed them on to legislators to implement, wouldn’t you think the “liberal” media would report on them?

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is such an organization. Need legislation drafted? No need to go through a lobbyist to reach state legislatures anymore. Just contact ALEC. Among other things, ALEC is responsible for:

Stand Your Ground laws
Voter ID laws
Right to Work laws
Privatizing schools
Health savings account bills which benefit health care companies
Tobacco industry legislation

Many legislators don’t even change the proposals handed to them by this group of corporations. They simply take the corporate bills and bring them to the legislative floor.

This is the primary reason for so much similar bad legislation in different states.

They’re meeting in Chicago this weekend. Maybe the “liberal media” will send some reporters.

5. The number of black people in prison.

In 2009, non-Hispanic blacks, while only 13.6 percent of the population, accounted for 39.4 percent of the total prison and jail population.

In 2011, according to FBI statistics, whites accounted for 69.2 percent of arrests.

Numbers like these suggest a racial bias in our justice system.

To me, this is a much bigger story than any single incident like Travyon Martin. Or, at the very least, why didn’t the “liberal media” ever mention this while covering the Martin story

You know this may surprise you, but I agree 100%

Now what do you think caused these things to happen?

IF you answer honestly, then you will get your answer as to why the left wing media does not bring these issues up!

CHEEP LABOR and BOTTOM-LINE PROFITS

All of our media in the U.S. is a joke. Fox News is just as retarded and laughable as MSNBC. "Liberal" or "conservative" matters not. It's all pandering to the lowest.

[Polecat]

I would say that the issue is more about keeping the collective population at odds with each other so the puppet masters can continue to rape & pillage without the fear of us uniting to take back what is falsely labeled as a free country.

I don't know a single News Organization that is forcing any Private Industry to Outsource Jobs ... do you?

No, because the "liberal" media are corporate sponsored, too. They will discuss safe social issues that promote collectivist group think but they will never report on the important stuff.

Democrats=Republicans=Democrats in every way that counts to big business.

Are you saying Democrats and/or Republicans are forcing Private Industries to Outsource Jobs? :huh:

Sorry dude ... this is all on Private Greed ... and can't be blamed off on Government Politics.

No, that would be the cart pushing the horse. I'm saying that the horse is being beaten with a whip, ridden hard, and put up wet.

They are all bought in Washington. Give them 2 terms and they're sold like cheap whores. All the media you see on tv is run by umbrella corporations and you get the news slanted the way their sponsors want it slanted.

Wake up and smell the totalitarianism.

I think I read something recently about a British company being hired for some of the work on Obamacare.

I can understand why liberals are desperate to say there is equivalency between Fox News and ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, NYT, WashPo, AP, Reuters, HuffPo, DailyBeast, and the new favorite, TalkingPoints, and on and on and on.

Actually, "liberals" aren't trying to compare the news orgs. They react just as ridiculously as you when us non-affiliated folks point out the facts.

The only thing I have is observation. And it appears as though the media is peddling antagonistic speculation more than reporting facts about events.

collectivist group think

Careful the terminology you use.... that could be the same as collectivist anarchism, something Bakunin is commonly associated with....:grin:

Well, a lot, actually. "Group think" is terrible. Nothing wrong with collectivism.

[nic34]

Depends on what you call "group think"....

To me it's an overused relic of the cold war, mostly used as a pejorative when talking about "the reds".......

[Codename Section]

Ask any minority throughout history or that nerdy kid the group thinkers pounded in school. Nothing good has ever come from centralization or group think.

I'm not!

Look it up on Urban Dictionary, pretty much all their definitions apply.

I was in the Physics Club in College ... I'm so ashamed :cry:

[Mainecoons]

The group that still believes that ObombedItCare is working is a very good example of group something. Not a lot of thinking there.
