Don't just expose bias, fight it!

  • Follow Letters

For the last two days you have editorialized about "media bias." With your criticism of "the media" this writer whole-heartedly agrees. But why stop at simple criticism? Why not take the lead in exposing their almost total support of the Democratic presidential ticket?

Sarah Palin gave birth to a child with Down syndrome, rather than abort her son. The pro-choice crowd sneers because Mrs. Palin supports her daughter's choice to carry her unplanned, but obviously loved, baby to full term. The pro-death crowd calls her a hypocrite because she will not murder babies. Let us hear that side.

Both the Clinton and Edwards adulterous affairs were no one's business but their own, the liberal media said, but now they are shoving their enquiring noses into Bristol Palin's private business. When is "private" not "private"? When the individual is on the right side of the political spectrum. That is front page news.

Mrs. Palin once supported "the bridge to nowhere," but she changed her position. Mr. Obama always supported the same bridge and has requested nearly a billion dollars in pet projects since 2005. Mr. Obama talks about change -- but when it comes to earmarks, he hasn't changed a bit. ...

The Augusta Chronicle may be a relatively small voice in the giant media world, but Scripture declares that, "a little child shall lead them." It is easy to write about how bad "the media" are on Page 7. Turn your reporters loose and expose bias on Page 1. Don't just tell us how bad "they" are. Expose them by reporting the truth. And don't stop until all the talking heads and all the media elite are forced to listen.

Quit crying , the Gov has been in to politics for a while now. She is a big girl and can handle it. She certainly can dish it out.

Mr. Sisler, why don't you mention MR. McCain's affair with Cindy Hensley, the present Mrs. McCain? Or Mrs. McCain's addiction to and theft of painkillers which she STOLE from a medical charity that she founded? Or that she had a doctor from that charity write her illegal prescriptions and subsequently had to pay for the federal investigation into the thefts, do community service at a soup kitchen and eventually that the charity had to close due to the scandal?

And we'll wait to see if Palin is convicted of the firing of the commissioner for not firing her ex brother-in-law. We already KNOW, through court records that the judge in the divorce had to admonish her her 3 separate times to quit harassing him.

good questions copperhead.when republicans eff up they just relabel the situation.if chelsea, or one of biden's children messed up they would be ostracized,and scorned to shame.when reukes do the same thing, it's a blessing from God.they hound clinton but know they've done the same thing,or wish they could.remember this is the crowd that says kill all liberals.i watched some of bill moyer's show last night,and he showed many clips of their radio jocks.they want to kill everyone who doesn't agree with their agenda.their agenda?bomb every country that we don't like,gotta kill those terrorists you know.if innocents die? big deal! they hate the hispanics but use them to make money for them.they want to bomb everyone,but using any soldiers but their children.republicans are disgusting,and i just wish one of those draft dodging radio jocks would try to kill me,please try cowards!

Pertaining to the earmarks....Obama has not said that he ended earmarks like Palin has, only that he would work to end them. At least what he is is not a bald-faced liar. It's been proven that Palin did not end the bridge, that she it was a major plank in her campaign, and that she only said no thanks after Congress pulled the money for the bridge. Repubs are still putting out the blather about kindergarten sex-ed when the records show that it was teaching young children how to resist the advances of a pedophile....we certainly wouldn't want THAT, now, would we? There are things about the Dem platform that I am against, vehemently, but I would rather have a truthful enemy than a deceitful friend.....

angiesdad...wow...get a grip, man. While you're at it, get some punctuation as well. I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but I think if you will stop crying first we may get your message. You have obviously done your homework on this issue if you've studied Bill Moyer's videos. Perhaps before your next post you should stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

Well said David Sisler...Now Join the rest of the folks who have the good sense to oppose mass delusion and racism of those who support the running of McCain/Palin...We are seen as the evil racist...Welcome aboard...The sorry part of all this would have to be media using the masses to pad their ratings and bank accounts instead of employing some degree of decency,professionalism and loyalty to the survival of this nation and her people....

I thought the media was supposed to report the news and not give us their personal opinion and bias?! Who is paying them to try to sway the public? By the way, the writer needs to remember that when McCain returned from his stint as a pow, his wife (not Cindy) was at home waiting for him. He dumped her for a rich, younger woman. They married a month after his divorce. So if the writer is going to throw stones at adulterers, throw one at McCain! J. Edgar Hoover, who directed the FBI, used to be a cross dresser but it was kept quiet so his career wouldn't be ruined. The senator who was caught soliciting in a restroom refused to step down. Heard anything about that lately?

I'd just like to see the media hammer on both candidates instead of being partial to one. If it's an OP/ED piece that's fine. The reporting of news as one sided, no matter which way it leans, is bull. Report the news fairly and then let the people decide. Stop with the media agenda. Stop trying to sway an election with propoganda. You'd think the MSM was TASS the way they report the "news."

Owenjet, she sure can dish it out as good or better than she is getting.

Angiesdad, how about telling us which radio "jocks" said liberals should be killed? I listen to Rush, Hannity, Ingrham daily and have yet to hear them say anything about killing liberals. Now if you want some outrageous meaness, try the Dailykook, Moveon.org, Huff and Pupff pizzed et al, who wish Cheney had died with a heart attack. Yes, I have heard conservative radio talk hosts say we should kill all terrorists. I fully agree, as if we don't kill them, they will surely ill us. If there is anything that makes me, a conservative, want to puke, it is the pandering enpty suit you have running for President. As for Bill Moyers, he is so far to the left he crabs that way when he walks. NObama, No thanks!

jack

Coalminerpa, I haven't heard anything lately about Barny Frank's "partner" running a male prostitute ring out of his house, either.

gacopper...Why should Sisler mention the personal problems of the McCains. They are on the record and have been discussed since the beginning. Didn't you listen to the Rick Warren forum. When asked about his greatest regret McCain said the breakup of his first marriage. Cindy McCain has been doing the talk-shows regarding her drug probems for months. Where do you get your lack of news?

dani

Mr Sisler...I fight the bias by refusing to listen to MSNBC or patronizing the sponsors of Matthews, Olbermann and their kind.
They are slowly dying .... They have based their future on Obama winning the presidency and should he lose, MSNBC will be a part of the ugly past and soon will be forgotten.

jack do you ever watch any thing on tv?check out scetv last night and watch bill moyer's show. i don't know the guy who said to kill all liberals(never heard of him)beck was heard saying he would like to choke michael moore to death, because of his scathing movie,rush wanted there to be riots in denver so the cops could bash the protesters,and bastard michael reagan said anyone who thinks 911 was an inside job is a traitor and should be shot. i believe it was an inside job but reagan wouldn't shoot me if i handed him a pistol.i have an axe handle i carry with me,that would change his life forever.the only in that family who had guts was nancy.and we know what sinatra said about her.
