OT: Why the neocons hate the "liberal" media

time to move to the EU, the US is a dying nation :-(

Martin

Think about unintended consequences. Cheney makes it his life's mission to restore absolute, unchecked power to the executive branch. And then Hillary Clinton is elected president.

Be careful what you wish for.

Sure they do.

Wonder why Air America failed

Rich will be one of the first we round up ;-)

Looks like leftist weenie media propaganda to me.

Oh dear. You do get confused with information, which seems to come from a bunch of statisticians from the OECD, e.g

Martin

Whoopee-dooo! Don't you just love Europeons telling the US that our economy is failing? Wonder why our unemployment rate is so low, and the Europeon rate is so high?

...Jim Thompson

I hate the liberal media because none of them can tell a million from a billion, or a kilowatt from a kwh.

I heard on TeeVee last night that Obama and Cheney are actually related! Appearently, they share a common ancestor 8-generations back.

I would joke that it actually explains everything, but of course, it doesn't.

Nah, not quite. Your unemployment rate is due to millions of extremely badly paid workers at the bottom end of the jobs market. EU/US rate look similar if measured in a similar fashion.

You should get out more :-)

Martin

Can any non tech media do that these days?

Martin

The only really professional mag that I see is Aviation Week and Space Technology. When they review a new airliner or military tanker or something, the first thing they do is fly one. And they get the real inside scoop.

The EE mags are pretty bad lately. Electronic Design is an embarassment. EDN is maybe a little better, as is EE Times. The microwave mags seem to be pretty good in general.

In the public press, Science News seems to be run by people who actually understand science and numbers. SciAm and New Scientist are inclined to take political positions that shut off their brains.

John

Given up on EDN, I can only just about cope with their silly format on design ideas, seperate gifs for each circuits, silly buggers, physorg/eurekalert are ok for headlines, but i don't have a nano soldering iron

Martin

Not exactly. Both New Scientist and Scientific American publicise scientific research that has political relevance.

Right wing politicians often dislike the results of this kind of research, and claim that the people who publicise it are indulging in political propaganda. Quite a few newspapers and TV stations are either owned by people whose political opinons are right wing or are sensitive to the opinions of right-wingers who pay for lots of advertising, and they don't publicise scientific research that produces results that right-wingers don't like,

Oddly enough, right wingers don't recognise this as a form of political propaganda, aimed at deforming the electorate's database.

Typical nazi - violence as a first resort.

Tell you what, Mr. Fuehrer wannabe, you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

After murdering me in cold blood, of course.

Hey, isn't there some kind of law against making terroristic threats on the internet?

Let's use Jim's own people against him - none of them has any honor, after all.

Good Luck! Rich

Not in free countries

Martin

Of course it does! Anything that's not neocon dupery looks like LWMP.

It's such a shame that when you joined the cult of Bushism, all of your brains fell out.

Thanks, Rich

Pretty strong words, coming from a draft-dodging coward.

Good Luck! Rich

night:

Well, they _are_ both amoral primates.

Thanks, Rich

wasn't that your prez?. Going back to when Clinton was in office, the French Gov't heard that he was having an affair with a younger lady, their comment was

"Seulement l'un ? "
