Just a few more examples of media bias and hypocrisy. First, lets see what Bryant Gumbel had to say about the winter olympics
"Finally, tonight, the Winter Games. Count me among those who don’t like them and won’t watch them ... Because they’re so trying, maybe over the next three weeks we should all try too. Like, try not to be incredulous when someone attempts to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention. Try not to point out that something’s not really a sport if a pseudo-athlete waits in what’s called a kiss-and-cry area, while some panel of subjective judges decides who won ... So if only to hasten the arrival of the day they’re done, when we can move on to March Madness — for God’s sake, let the games begin."
Now lets see what he had to say about the winter olympics when HE WAS COVERING THEM IN NAGANO.
" "?
That's funny, i didn't hear him say anything then? Curious.....
Now what about NBC's David Gregory. He was very upset that the vice president waited 12 hours to inform the white house press corps. about his hunting accident. He called White House spokesman Scott Mclellan a "Jerk"
What about NBC in 1999? When Juanita Broderick came forward and said she was raped by Bill Clinton, NBC waited 4 weeks to air the story, and only did so AFTER Broderick went to the Wall Street Journal to get her story out. She did a 5 hour interview with NBC, they aired 5 minutes.
She went to all of the other magazines too. Time, Newsweek, etc. They didn't run the story until AFTER the Journal ran their story. Yet we have Cheney on the cover of Both of those magazines for a hunting accident, and Newsweek editor (and commie) Jonathan Alter doing a whole peice on Cheney, Brit Hume, and the fact that Cheney waited 12 hours to notify the media.
The strangest thing to me is how puzzled the libs are about the growth of conservative talk radio, and fair and balanced Fox News. When Rush Limbaugh started, he was the ONLY voice out there that didn't have a liberal agenda. Fox is dominant in cable because they're the ONLY fair and balanced cable news station. There are no major publications that don't have a liberal agenda, with the possible exception being the Wall Street Journal.

In Bryants case, I would say that on top of the usual liberal race baiting bullshite...what you have here is a case of professional scorn and jealousy.
This guy and his ego thought he was the heir apparent to Brokaw. Couric beat him down in their power struggle on the today show, then beat him down again in the ratings game when he moved to cbs.
Now the schmo is stuck on cable. Nice career move jackass! Have fun interviewing William Fridge Perry.
I wonder if alone with his ow thoughts he admitted the comments were ridiculous when the first black athlete to win a gold medal in the winter games stood on the podium last week to receive aforementioned gold medal...he's an idiot, and even Stephen A. Smith criticized him...Don't tell Donovan McNabb as it was more black on black crime.
As for the media bias, Bob Grant and others have been on for years so don't laud that pill popping fatty, he didn't break any ground except to be successful. Conservatives have never been silenced. You sound like someone who has been victimized, Rhino and you know that no one wants to listen to that...i.e. Donovan McNabb
good point. the other thing is, lets imagine if Bob Costas had said he didn't like the nba because there wasn't enough white people...... outrage you think?
You contradict yourself Fly. To be a groundbreaker indicates success. You mention the first black gold medalist in a winter event. Why? Because he won, thats why...therefore he broke gound. Rhino was incorrect stating Rush was the ONLY voice, but there is no doubt his success paved the way for the current trend in the rise of the conservative media and the fall of the libs.
fly i am convinced that you are a idiot. bob grant was in NY only until the late 90's. Limbaugh was in sindication for a decade by then. if you were in NY you could hear grant on wor or whatever station he was on, but he sucked, and when he went to sindication almost nobody picked him up. Meanwhile limbaugh was opening up markets for everyone else, including sean hannity and mark levin etc. Also, limbaugh was dead on about mcnabb, and the media coverage of him. I also think you need some help with your reading comprehension if you think i sound like someone who is a victim.
Who the f%$# are the "libs?"
Racism or prejudice can only be perpetuated and enacted by a majority. Therefore, if corny ass Costas had said that then it would be interpretated as racist.
If your theory is true WL, then there never was any racism in South Africa since the honky ruling class were the minority. Dont be an idjit. Racism isnt a numbers game its a morality issue.
warlike are you saying black people can't be racist? how about chinese people? i guess jews can't be racist either. what about the spics? i mean the hispanics? that's one of the stupidest things i ever heard, and i've heard some stupid things, i hear from fly every day.
so i was at the Korean jew grocery store the other day, and the guy was telling me he hates niggers, i said whoa, that's kind of a racist thing to say don't you think? he said no, i can't be racist, how many korean jews you think we got in this country?
I'm not even going to talk to Rhino...everytime he gets questioned, he starts name calling...he makes the Aurora a waste of time. See you later. I don't have time for small minded grammar school dropouts.
boo hoo go back to the poetry fly. idiot
ok donkey I left out power.
pass the salt, please...
i've got a bunch of stale crackers over here!
I'd tell you where to go Rhino but there is a comment policy...As for being an idiot. You have the market cornered. You are a loser who can't win an argument so you start name calling. Get a life, and yeah I can write poetry and other forms of writing...all you can do is copy and paste from news sources. You've never written one thing that was your own personal idea...you are a hack and a nobody...good luck with that, you loser. Okay, now call me an idiot again because like your posts you are predictable.
PS - I suppose you didn't sound like a victim - Your title : What Liberal Bias doesn't sound like you are? Does it? I think you need some reading retention but I guess after getting no education, you are just happy that you can read at all...
So WL Im racist because Im powerful and you are not because youre weak? I can see that.
hey gd,all the girls say I'm pretty fly
For a white guy.
Oh no, you got me fly, i guess i'll just have to admit it to the world....... i'm not a writer. there are you happy? you broke me, my hopes and dreams of being the next Sam Clemens are over. i just hope i can get my arm strength up so i can be the next roger clemens. Oh and also you are a idiot!
Donkey, everybody is racist. It's because of ignorance. But racism can only affect people who are the minority-whether by numbers, power or whatever.
I am not an idiot...I am THE Idiot...get it right you two bit hack...plus with the size of your arms you will be more like John Franco. Ya' better head back to your man gym. Plus, I never said Rush isn't influential, I said he wasn't a groundbreaker...The medalist was but I was referring back to the bad Gumbel, Donkey. Do you think alone with his thoughts that he regretted saying it? Either way, the Olympics aren't worth watching not because of race but because they don't resemble anything having to do with the oroginal Greek Olympics...They aren't amateurs anymore and it has so little to do with the small town stories & individual athletic accomplishment as endorsements and other corruptible influences have robbed the games of any true meaning.
Rhino a Korean grocer can be racist but he can't affect anybody. He is a minority also. Plus the store you are talking about was probably robbed by some black guy.
I was referring to the institutional racism that is perpetuated by this country. And Rhino I don't expect you to understand because you "look" white.
You are the "Human Stain".
Everyone is a racist except for WL!
warlike i AM white. and i'm powerful. look out. i'm coming for you.
fly, what about ice dancing?
Ice Dancing is a racist sport and I won't support it...unless the chicks are naked...are they naked?
Obviously Gumbel never saw 'Cool Runnings', yet another star performance by the cracka comedic genius John Candy.
the chicks are not naked, but i think these ice skaters have great bodies. also, with all the drops that they had it was all over ESPN. It was actually kind of funny.
on a serious note, i enjoy the snowboarding events, the skiing events, and the bobsled. I would love to try that bobsled thing, it looks like a lot of fun.
Rhino your color is opaque pink but you are a fucking SPIC!!!!!!!!
Isn't bobsledding out and some new crazy sport taking it's place? Something that is akin to riding the trail at Action Park...you ride down on a piece of plastic and crash into a tire covered brick embankment...I wonder if Jamaica has a team still?
Donkey, I think WL needs to review the comment policy...that sounded slightly racist...unless he was talking about home cleaning products.
On his logic its not racist because hes black, but if he were to call you or I a drunk paddy, then it would racist because hes a Brit.
Thats why I hate everybody, Im curmudgeonly, not racist.
I hate Anne Murray and according to Canadians, that makes me a racist despite my respect for Bryan Adams.
Donkey its wonderful that you understand me.
And superfly stop being a SNITCH!!
yo i watched some curling this weekend, i have no idea what the rules are, or what is the object of the game. They have shitty announcers who must think that everyone knows whats going on, they need to be constantly explaining what the hell is going on. I mean that for all the sports. This could have been a good weekend for the winter olympics, because it was such a slow sports weekend. But the announcers suck so bad, they didn't explaing anything at all. I mean, how do you steer one of those bobsleds???? that would be a good place to start.
