Barney–teachers’ unions get a wet kiss, as do postal workers (except when they kill someone) and most municipal employees, such as bus drivers, etc.

You won’t find it here, Joe. They blew a chance to name even one. Media Minded really was right when he said, “I can’t begin to list…”

Don’t bother guys, I won’t be back here.

Barney…you appear to be asking for opinion that matches a certain ideology. And I would refer you to the editorial pages of newspapers and magazines. And I would refer you to, just as you suggest, partisan media.

When I speak of media bias, I am not talking about pundits, columnists, op-eds, editorials, or partisan publications. These are biased, or “positioned,” and obviously so.

Check out the link MediaMinded suggested above. The mainstream press has certainly covered these topics. You may certainly not be happy with that coverage. Does than mean the cover is biased? Maybe.

I’d also be interested in mainstream examples of the asbestos, corporate welfare, Kyoto, canadians and health care, or GMO questions.

Media minded, Alcine: I don’t think I can make it any easier to get myself spanked in public. I just want ONE example of:

“That jury awards should be large enough to punish corporations that deserve it. Ever. One example. Just one.”
or
“Anything good about unions. Ever. One example. Just one.”

(got to be from a TV or radio site though, otherwise you’d just post an example from ‘Workers Socialist World Weekly’ or something similar).

Here’s something I haven’t heard the media discuss yet.

As soon as we own Iraq, America should go after Turkey and Syria. Turkey has not obeyed our commands. We pay them good money to be our puppets and yet they will not do as we command. It is time for regime change in Turkey. As for Syria, I believe these are the real criminals behind Osama Bin Laden. It is time for regime change in Syria. We must do this to protect freedom and democracy. Our humanitarian bombing is necessary to save the world. As soon as we own the world, it will be safe for all who support America.

Thanks to MediaMinded for saying the other thing I wanted to say in response to Gumble.

Barney: I don’t know what planet you’re living on, but you obviously don’t get out much. I can’t begin to list the number of investigative pieces that touch on a lot of the issues you claim are “ignored” by the “corporate media.” I can’t list them, but Derek Willis can.
