i haven't seen any arguments for bias yet. 'the newshour' is covering all of the stories that the talk shows were going on about. conservatives would appreciate the military being shown doing good works; liberals should like white faces being shown in new orleans. on the other hand, i'm not a fanatic, so i don't know what would tick them off. conservatives might not like the fact that they've done a bit on pelosi asking for mike brown to be fired w/o talking about mayor nagin resigning (and liberals probably would criticize bush's role in all of this not being discussed). conservatives also wouldn't see a point in discussing oil-for-food unless it brings annan down. liberals might ask where cindy sheehan is. |
my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour. links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias: the fair & balanced: the left: the right: *that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.    |
