[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I did not say the media was liberal. I said the media was obsessed with Bill Clinton, even though he was out of office. That does not make the media liberal, it simply makes them jerks. Citing single examples which exist doth not a 'trend' refute. Sure, you can say that Fox is conservative. But Fox is vastly outnumbered, stations and coveragewise, by CBS, NBC, and ABC. As for cable, conservatives weren't the only ones jokingly referring to CNN as the 'Clinton News Network.' (I don't know the editorial slant of UPN and WB, since aside from Star Trek shows, I never watch either of them.) Goldberg may have been wrong about the labeling of 'Conservative' and 'Liberal,' but that's a fairly minor point in his argument. For Nunberg to pretend that a refutation of that point refutes the entire argument is intellectually dishonest... it's like saying you can disprove God's existence because you can show that Genesis isn't literally correct. The article of the dog isn't my 'proof.' It's a tiny bit of evidence. Tahna's article is another tiny bit. We're just adding up the bits and seeing where the total leads us. Testing a hypothesis. Why are you objecting so strenuously? Is it that great a danger to your faith? I still intend to check the RGPL and do an article count. If it shows that the post-term (say at a limit of one year, since that's how long BCs been out) article counts for Bush 1 and Clinton (and maybe, to extend the sample, Carter and Reagan) are roughly the same, I will admit my hypothesis of bias in this area to be in error. If not, though, it will be confirmation that I am correct, and the media is riding Clinton like the Man Train, and I will wave it around like a Sizerian member. [/QB][/QUOTE]
