Topic: There is no bias in the media.

Some people have been saying there is a Liberal bias in the “BIG” legacy media. I just don’t buy into that story. I have always found the “network” news organizations to be fair, balanced and without an agenda.


The first video is from CNN; in it the producers are showing how our current administration (as shown by the protest signs) might disperse a harmless gathering of “peaceful” demonstrators.

This second video is from CBS (not exactly a bastion of conservative ideals) from a 60 Minutes episode (not exactly untainted by yellow journalism).

Both videos feature the same weapon system…how different the message in the two videos. Do you think the first 50 seconds or so of the CNN video is meant to inform or inflame?

I don't think it will reduce the amount of people that end up being killed by the Marines but it will show them which ones that need to be dealt with since the ones in the crowd that are just part of the crowd will dispurse leaving the true problem that needs to be taken care of. Great weapon as far as I'm concerned.
