Experts Are At It Again

This time they are doubtful that violence has decreased in Iraq. Who are the experts? Even after reading the article I am still not sure. But MSNBC made it their top story this morning.

Yeah, the editorial standards there are pretty lax. Not 'Swiftboat Veterans for Truth' lax, but pretty lax.

BTW, reading about all the violence and factions and such in Iraq now, I have to ask- in waht sense is Iraq even a country right now? I mean, aside from being labeled on our maps?

Fucking experts. They ruin everything. The only time they do any good is when they support my position.

Don't worry sophist, we'll probably have a democratic president soon, so as soon as anything happens to go wrong under his watch, the MSM experts will start supporting your positions again.

Ha Ha. With a democratic president the press will find the experts that support his position.

MSM leans left not neutral.

It was the ads run by republicans during the last election with peoplew claiming to serve with John Kerry when he got his medals in Vietnam, claiming that he hadn't earned them, had acted cowardly and shot children in the back, etc. There was no confiormation that any of this was true or that any of the people talking had actually served with Kerry, and many people who did serve with Kerry were actively saying that theads were all lies; but the MSM ran the story as truth for weeks and weeks, only gradually calling it into question while still reporting the substance of the ad's claims, and didn't get around to debinking it until it was too late to afefct the election. Like the claims that both Clinton and John McCain had illegitimate black children, this is just one of the smear campaigns against liberals and moderates that the MSM has been only too happy to run as truth in order to get ratings.

As I've said, the MSM has been bashing conseratives lately because they've been the only public political figures of note for a long time; as soon as democrats start sticking their heads up, expect them to receive the same MSM smears. It's about ratings and money; any aparent political agenda is just marketing.

I hear what you are saying about swfitboats and who ever has thier head up with get picked on. But Democrats control the House and you are not hearing anything against them (except they cant stop the war) which is more MSM liberal bias. Also the main democrats running for President are all being treated like Jesus (especially Obama). So I am not sure if your argument holds.
