Weekly Scandals and Corruption
Topic Started: Sep 3 2007, 01:49 AM (158 Views)
cool story bro

According to the article, there has been some sort Republican scandal every single week since the beginning of 2007! That means from January 1, all the way to now, September. That is just wrong. Now, I identify myself as one with Liberal views, and while this article may be biased against Republicans, since there are no Democrats in it, that is besides the point here. The point is that there is a serious problem when news about some government official fucking up isn't unusual.

Lol America.

lol not chit chat thanks for the brainless spam?

I don't really swing to either side, but judging from the comments this seems to have a significant bias. And when you cover scandals for that many weeks, I have the feeling that the details are lost and it's just reported in the worst way possible against the Republicans.

The media in general phails, and I'd never rely on it if I wanted accurate and unbiased information.

^ :psypoke: This is what I've been saying for years.

Then again, let's not forget that the media drove Clinton into the ground when he banged that fat ugly chick (lol decorum).

These days, media is business. Ratings are all that matter. Love it or hate it, people will watch just to see what happens. That = ratings = valuable ad timeslot = $$$.

cool story bro


I would just like to say that I'm one of the people who don't give a shit about news on TV. All of my news comes from the internet, and usually sites that don't run TV stations.

It's biased as hell, so screw that.

I'm just amused at all the gay Republicans who have been revealed. :psypoke:

What's even more amusing is all the gay Republicans are against gay marriage. Why do they all have to be hypocrites? D:

I just listen to Stephan Colbert. He is the truth.

I never really noticed this much though, I'd think that some of it is kind of minor stuff...but I'm just glad that my high school political science teacher forced me to be a moderate.
