I AM ALL OF THOSE THINGS @_@
So, anyway, King, Ravael is playing a pretty good deflection game for you, but could you fill me in on why media coverage for something like the Missouri shooting is totes biased in favor of the libs yet media coverage of the Occupy movement is completely accurate. How do you reconcile the apparent disparity?

I've spent enough time with him to know he's not self-obsessed, would give you the shirt off his back, and is humble to a fault. But based on the evidence of his demeanor towards others on this website, one can reasonably conclude the above assumption made on him. Outside of the forums, I'm quite non-confrontational and get along with almost everyone. I also typically smile and nod when someone says something political that I don't agree with. Should I expect anyone in here to believe that? Nope. Cerberus.Pleebo said: » I AM ALL OF THOSE THINGS @_@ Seriously guys, I am WAY super humble. You can tell because I totally agree with people who say nice things about me.

I can't sit here and tell you to assume that I'm a very reasonable person when I'm bickering with Zicdeh over stupid crap for hours. I just have to remind myself that I'm dealing with people who may be doing what I'm doing, which is experimenting with certain aspects of my personality that I wouldn't try outside of an anonymous internet forum. Cerberus.Tikal said: » @Ravael: He was agreeing with King, however I sense he's being facetious. Okay, lol. It's hard to tell without a quote string. In defense of our antics, bickering over stupid ***is the best way to live life. At least then we aren't lying to the world in pretense about making a difference.
Admit it, you'd all watch CSPAN if congress went at each other for three hours debating a Walrus Tax, and in the end nobody would be disappointed with the result, whatever it may be.

How do you reconcile the apparent disparity? You can be biased and accurate at the same time. The story can be as simple as "The sun is shining" and you can skew it to a liberal standpoint without being inaccurate. For example: "The sun is shining on the perfect utopia of liberalism." or "The sun is shining on Obama" which is very accurate, as the accurate story "The sun is shining" is for everyone. The weak minded people would infer that the sun is shining only on the perfect utopia of liberalism and/or Obama, and then take their arguments accordingly. Those who understand how to take apart the biases in the reporting to get to the actual facts would see that what is being reported is that the sun is shining. God man, you claim to be self-aware, and yet, you don't understand a very simple concept such as this? You really need to learn about yourself....

And even if I think some of you are complete morons, I still have some respect for the fact that at least the people in here have the guts to argue politics and religion. We're all ridiculed and mocked at some point or another, but we come back again and again. That's something at least. Odin.Zicdeh said: » Admit it, you'd all watch CSPAN if congress went at each other for three hours debating a Walrus Tax, and in the end nobody would be disappointed with the result, whatever it may be. YES. Congress already debates pointless bills, so why not add some humor to it?

One is a reporting of a death of a young man by accident, another is a protest against businesses. The root of the reporting is such. Both are greatly sensationalized to fit the needs of the media for advertising revenue. There is no accuracy issues to compare, as long as one is able to determine what is fact and what is sensationalism. You apparently cannot determine the difference, due to your lack of insight and awareness. I blame your closed mindedness.

You guys tend to make it sound like Conservative influenced-media's ***doesn't stink, or that Liberal influenced-media is significantly worse. That lack of perspective balance can make people wonder whether you have the critical process to differentiate bias, hence the question. Cerberus.Tikal said: » You guys tend to make it sound like Conservative influenced-media's ***doesn't stink, or that Liberal influenced-media is significantly worse. That lack of perspective balance can make people wonder whether you have the critical process to differentiate bias, hence the question. Media =/= liberal media alone. Even though there are more liberal media out there than conservative. But they are all after the same thing: revenue from idiots.

I know you didn't say that. I didn't say you did - but perhaps I shouldn't have used "you" in the second half of that paragraph. I meant it in a general sense, but it can be misconstrued as specific. If that's how you read it, I apologize; I didn't mean for it to read in that way.

That lack of perspective balance can make people wonder whether you have the critical process to differentiate bias, hence the question. Bias is everywhere. King made a good point when he said that you can be 100% accurate and still biased, which is part of why anyone who thinks that they're not biased because they base their opinion off of fact is absolutely wrong. As far as the media is concerned, I trust pretty much any of them as far as I can throw them because they're obligated to present everything in the way that makes them the most money.

Going to have to disagree with just about every part of this. Groovy. So, are you going to explain why or what?

Bahamut.Ravael said: » Groovy. So, are you going to explain why or what? They're both opinions, and the concept of thinking it's possible to be unbiased is self explanatory, so no. He said it's impossible to be unbiased. I see nothing wrong with what he said.
