  How about the Harvard study? Crap too I suppose, at least compared to that bastion of centrism, Pew Research. :rolleyes:

  
  Laughing boy then should actually read what was being studied. The two studies were not even attempting to measure the same thing. You should learn that it is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt fishie

  The blogs listed were the result a simple popularity contest, which simply proves that you're not the only numbnut that reads the sophomoric and soporific POS.

  I think you have gone way overboard. I listen to about 20 minutes of Rush most days and it is a rare moment when I disagree with him. The reason he is polarizing is because he was the first conservative in media with a massive audience that challenged the left and the left-stream media bias and news filtering, and THEY HATE HIM FOR IT, especially because he has over 20 million daily listeners. The left cannot stand the fact that they are being called out every day in public for their bullshit leftist policy agenda and hypocrisy --- it drives them nuts. No wonder they would rather demonize him than debate the real issues of the day, because they lose on the issues as they are on the wrong side of them. Before Rush, they got away with their slant and with a media that carried their water unchecked; luckily for the sake of the country, those days are long over. Most non-haters agree with what he says, and more would if they gave him a chance to overcome their predisposition which has been ingrained by the left-stream media.

  Now you're just talking out of your ass again. I'm fully aware the two studies weren't measuring the same thing. The fact that you followed up your "Debunked as junk" faceplant with something not even related to the post being discussed pretty much speaks for itself. Carry on.

  Did or did you not imply that the Harvard study backed up the UCLA study? Pay attention, the post has to do with media bias. You are going to get sent to the kid table soon. Any study you find that says FOX news is the least bias just confirms what most people think of you on here, you are a freaking.........

  IOW, any study that doesn't yield the results you want is clearly flawed. What an idiot. No wonder you get your opinions from high school blogs. Simple opinions for simpletons.

This was at a time that was well past the well documented scientific proof that heterosexuals were being infected. Is that the kind of guy you like to listen to?
  
  The man spend years and years preaching the "throw em all in jail" rhetoric when talking about drug offenders. All the while he was illicitly obtaining controlled substances fron his fuggin nanny. Is that the kind of guy that you would like to listen to?
  
  The guy spent days upon days upon days mocking one H Ross Perot and his big ears....inspite of the fact that he was the first to run for the president based on old school conservative fiscal policies. Is that the "talent loaned fron Gawd" you bow to? Do you espouse Rushboy's statement and I quote VERBATIM..."the national debt is no big deal". Should the self described leader of "advanced conservative studies" be pedestaled for such shameless remarks?
  
  The man on several occasions....particularly in the mid nineties... espoused Keynesian economics as being "no big deal" to his bastion of followers....again in the early to mid nineties. Is that someone you would call your maharushi in regards to the teacher of "advanced conservative studies"?
  
  Or how about the hawkish of all hawks....that any war was a good war.....declared or not declared by the Congress as the Constitution dictates....yet skirted his own duty of fighting for his own country....when selective conscription was the law of the land.....getting deferments excusing him from serving and possibly dying in Vietnam back in the 60's.....from of all things...a mild cyst on his ass? Is that someone you bow down to as a "true conservative" patriot?
  
  Or the man who, inspite of numerous official declassified documents from several of our intel departments stating that Al Quada had no ties to Saddam Hussein....and he called all the reports "left winged wacko news"...or the biggest of whoppers when no WMD was found...stating that these wMd's somehow were contrabanded to Jordan.....is that someone you would believe...... even one lousy stinking sentence spewed on his daily show?
  
  Or the man who mimicked Michael J Fox...by shaking unshamelessly at.....downplaying the insidious disease of Parkinson's....is that a man you would want your kids to emulate?
  
  And really, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The man is a very sick and demented individual....who has bastardized what true conservatism represents and what true conservatives stand up for. If those 20 million daily listeners want to pound their puds to this guy....have at it. The other 280 million people have seen through his wretched debauchery.

  
  All this from someone who referenced Bill Maher:
  

  Independent Bill Maher educates the lemmings here....

  Do you have the same catalogue of outrageous things spoken by "independent" Bill Maher?

  The I implied no such thing. I merely cited it as a more well-known example...also unequivocally proving that bias exists. You're starting to do that "babble incoherently" thing you always do when you've painted yourself into a corner.

  If pointing out facts to you is babbling then this is a good description of you.

  Refresh my memory...what "facts" did you point out again?
• Writerbuckeye

  

  What about this doesn't back up the idea that media favor liberal candidates and politicians?

  Dennis Miller is who Jon Stewart wishes he was. It's a shame Dennis isn't on around here because his show is great.
  
  Savage and Levin are tops in my book

  You guys are both right...talk radio is awesome, and there are valid studies that FOX news is not bias!!!! Congratulations you got me

  I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to listen to political talk radio. But I can't figure out why anyone would want to watch those 'Real Housewives of" shows, and they get a huge audience too.
