  • Re: please, mr. patterson, review youtube instead

    I like your suggestion of a more serious review at a later date. These people came together for the express purpose of trashing these shows, sight unseen. I've watch ''My Own Worst Enemy'', my fiancee and I found it very enjoyable. Mr. Patterson and his friends might have too, if they'd taken the time to watch more than 5 minutes. As for those ...

  • Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

  • Why we shouldn't take this garbage to heart

    If it's not too leftist for you, read Matt Taibbi's piece in the Jan. 24 issue of Rolling Stone on how and why the media sucks when it comes to ''reporting'' what we need to know about the campaigns. It paints a picture of what I've always felt is reality in politicians, if there is such a thing. Namely it's all spun garbage based on what some ...

  • When did "authoritarianism" become "conservatism"?

    Emily Bazelon, I love you. I truly love your work and respect your journalism so I am starting my pleading crusade with you. It may seem a silly or superficial crusade to some; to others it may seem a pat argument at first glance; but I disagree wholeheartedly on both counts. Your otherwise wonderful article about the “unexpected” rightward ...
