Media Bias

[Dave]

If they only choose high profile cases, don't you think that in itself is promoting an agenda?

Point is - they have a visable and verifiable record of taking on all kinds of cases - it's indisputable. It's like when the religious right rant about the ACLU's anti-Christian actions yet they completely ignore all the pro-Christian cases they have fought. You just keep denying it becuase it doesn't fit with your bogeyman image of ACLU.

No, the point is that people are trying to say that an entire study is invalid because the don't like the way one organization is classified. Personally, I don't care how people feel about the ACLU. I didn't set out on this thread trying to prove one irrelevant point of the study. I merely wanted to bring attention to the study and get thoughts on it as a whole.

Funny you should mention "leftist commies." Actually, the ACLU was founded by a socialist with definite communist leanings. Here's a document to show Roger Baldwin's long leftist agenda.

The US was founded by radicals and Coors and Budweiser were founded by Germans and women's nylon stockings were founded by a male. I believe Prescott Bush, managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman and later bought up by Halliburton, helped fund the Nazi war machine. So are you saying something that is founded by a certain type of individual is what it always is?

Like I just said, I don't really give a damn. If anybody actually wants to debate bias in the media I'll be happy to do so. If anybody wants to take this thread in a different direction and go off on rants like this guy did, I think you know where you can go.
