Thats because the media is one sided. Hollywood is one sided. It's almost politically correct to be a Liberal Democrat.

I have never once heard the media support the republican party, or anything they've done.

tis sad when a man cant accept he dun screwed up and apologize. instead he has to say the republican warmongers are twisting his words. i see no twisting of words. stated plain and simple for the world to see what kerry said. and regardless of wether he meant to say it or not, he said it. that simple.

and no, the majority of media outlets are notoriously liberal and will not push this topic as those who control the respective companies would hate to see their parties image harmed.

i also love how kerry is commenting that its cynical of those who never fought in a war to criticize words stated by someone who did. thats nothing to do with the matter of calling our entire armed forces stupid.

apologize kerry, dont try to spin it all on the republicans you fucked up, admit it, you will garner more respect for admitting it than trying to deny it

Regardless of what he actually said, I believe he was trying to criticize Bush and not our troops because as a Vietnam veteran himself he knows what it's like to be in the military fighting an unpopular war.

Like it or not, I also believe there is a bit of truth behind the suggestion of our troops not being that smart. The officer ranks are smart and well educated because they're college grads but the enlisted are usually just high school grads at best. I spent 4 years in the Army during the first gulf war and I was in the enlisted ranks as well but even with the highly technical job and training I went through, a lot of the people I was stationed with were just dumbasses. My college buddies on the other hand were a lot different. Of course if I was a politician I would never say that.

Media is not one sided. Every media company affiliates itself with a specific party. I used the example of FOX and ABC because it's widely known that FOX is republican and ABC is democrat. Not sure of the other big networks. It's also true that most big city newspapers affiliate themselves with democrats and smaller town newspapers tend to lean towards republicans.

media is very much one sided. hes not saying its totally 100 percent but its very close when you start talking mainstream media

ABC- liberal
NBC - liberal
CBS - liberal
CNN - liberal
Fox - conservative

theres basically your top 5 news media outlets.
start talking newspapers and the ones that are most often quoted and read throughout the nation are liberal

smaller newspapers usually get their reports from larger papers, and news agencys so they fluctuate depending on the story.

hollywood is extremely liberal, and they need to stop acting like the arrogant assholes they are and realize just because they have all the money doesnt mean they know shit about what goes on. everything they do thats political or charitable is for 90% of the time done simply for the publicity it garners,

Earn them. That is the way this country works. Deal with it.

We are capitalist and news agencies are privitized, remember? I do not like FOX News, so I do not watch it. It is as simple as that.
