    Default Propaganda

    Here are some of my favorite videos that many of you need to watch. I know that for most of you some type of audio/video production usually sustains your attention, like some heated "news" segment on your favorite "news" station, so I figured what better way than showing you videos to get my point across. If you watch all these videos with an open and neutral mind, then tell me what you think. I'm interested to know.

    And hey, listen, I'm up to watch whatever you want to show me.

    If you want to watch biased views, you can always watch the White House press conferences.

    Or MSNBC. Even though they aren't going to change my nind on anything I will watch when I get home. Just remember that a little editing and change many things.

    I will agree that editing has enhanced these videos, but the word "bias" shouldn't even be used here, it's stating the obvious. This isn't about the difference in Fox vs. MSNBC, I have already stated how Fox has clearly escalated their right wing bias to a completely new level. MSNBC is left, I will never refute that, but MSNBC hasn't created an uprising of a cult that protests issues they know nothing about.

    I don't think any of you quite understand my political position. It's simple: I vote for who needs to be in office at that particular time. Maybe all of Obama's propositions haven't aligned with what I agree with, but the McCain-Palin ticket spoke volumes about where the Republican party was headed. After the Bush administration I couldn't see why anyone would really believe McCain-Palin is what we needed. I could only deduce one reason: the majority of Republican voters are simply not as interested in going in depth with politics and furthermore they are not interested in changing their stripes. They are spoon-fed their information through a television channel that has programs based around theatrics and entertainment, which bend the facts to create "points" and are matched with heated discussions to spark emotion within the viewer.

    This does go both ways however, the left-wing has some of the same aspects, but in many discussions and debates I have had the Democrats are more inclined to understand good ideas from bad ones, whether it's from the left or right. The Republican side generally disagrees for the sake of disagreeing. They will never let anyone tell them their ideas are wrong, and they will most likely disagree with most Democratic propositions. If a viewpoint is opposing to theirs, they are quick to make generalizations about the person or the party as a whole, rather than agreeing with or deciphering the issue.

    AS I SAID: many of the points about Republicans I have said can also go both ways, but the Republican side has more people exercising these things. Mostly this is from the amount of Republicans that watch Fox over other neutral organizations.

    There are more media outlets with liberal bias, which keeps them from all following only one media outlet. There is nothing wrong with having biased media outlets, it is just better to have a balance on each side.

    I wish more people would vote for who they feel is the best canidate, rather than vote solely along party lines.

    I disagree. I know some die-hard conservatives that do not watch Fox, and are extremely involved in political issues. They study the same facts you see, and come to their own conclusions, based upon their beliefs, experiences, etc. - just like you. Two people can study the same data, and come to completely opposing positions. We see that often on here.

    I see the democrats do the same thing. It would be nice to have political platforms that would try to represent the majority of Americans, rather than just the left and right fringe elements.

    McCain is a Vet of Viet-Nam and spent 5 years in a POW camp. Obama has been groomed in one of the most corrupt political systems in the country by a confessed domestic terrorist.

    So I watched your videos. None of them are anything more than any other artfully edited attack. If I bothered to look, I could find just as many videos about Reid, Obama, Pelosi or ANYONE in Washington.
