Comment on: My Opinion

McCain and my Liberal text book

4 Comments

Well...

Go down to the Korean deli down the street and get yourself a six-pack of Bud Lite with your recently stimulated Food Stamps and just forget about the whole thing. We're turning into a Third World economy anyway so why bother studying anything?

Spell it Out

So what liberal textbook? What liberal law? How are we going to use this info if you don't share what it is?

Correction

First the textbook

Textbook: Introduction to Mass Communication: Author Stanley J. Baran.The author is a graduate of U Mass and Penn, both schools I consider liberal, though that it not why I consider the textbook to have a liberal bias. I consider the textbook to be bias due the constant attention it gives to how bad the Bush administration treated/is treating the war in Iraq and Hurricane Katrina along with of liberal talking points. It also constantly quotes the NYT, and gives it tons of praise as one of the best news sources available. So in my view, it does have a liberal bias.

Second, it was not a law he supported but a quote about conglomerations. The book has what it calls a cultural forum box, this one talks about media conglomeration. After going into a winded bashing of the iraq war and how the media was mislead. And the reason they were mislead is do to all the big companies that own the media, the book poses the question, "are these just the complaints of a group of disaffected liberals, opposed to the Iraq War? But if this is the case, why do prominent conservatives(AZ-R John McCain) say we me to prevent media conglomeration."

Now this is not some monstrous government socialist program, but the section is about the horrors of big corporations. Which I believe are a part of free market capitalism. The fact that John McCain is quoted in here, multiple times and no other republican that I could find tells me something, even if it very little about him.

What sort of senseless blabber are you trying to express.

And just for the record, I don't drink, I've never collected food stamps, and unless people have better attitudes than yours toward our country nothing will happen.
