Universal this week paid 43.5 million for rights to a Bruno movie that Sascha Baron Cohen is planning on producing!

Amen to that. We need a mute button for life.

I'm glad that the movie realm is the once place where that isn't the case.

So its okay to make a racist joke, as long as there is a deeper meaning?

Woohoo! I'm going at 9:40pm here in Austin. Anyone else have their tix yet?

Those channels you are talking about is lifeline cable. Basic cable is the standard package that you get without digital cable.

No, I'm telling you that some idiot on ESPN said "Reggie Bush could be the best running back in the history of football". Whether or not you believe it is not my choice obviously.

I guess everyone who watches South Park then is dispicable?

While thats true, it doesn't apply to JSP calling him a liar.

Wonder if its real or photoshopped. Either way its really funny.

Well, that could be for sure. lol.

I had a teacher that gave us a test today. What the hell kind of teacher is that? I still drank though.

I agree with what you said there, but I don't think just labeling him a liar in this instance is appropriate. If he meant that, he'd be talking about himself too.

And the Dems are never united in anything. How long till Kerry claims that his plan was to unite the Democrats all along?

The Republican colored glasses look at this, eh?

It does - on the editorial pages. The accounts of the former journalism employees I've read, combined with the studies I've read, shows that the economic factors of media companies in this day and age play a much, much larger role in the reporting of stories then do reporters and editors personal beliefs. Most of them feel handcuffed into having to report stories certain ways in order to satisfy the bottom line (which has shifted from a business where profit was less meaningful in the 70s). Owner control and profit margins trump the current-day media.

British economists are saying that it'll be a much, much larger proportion of the GDP if they wait to do something about it, rather then doing something about it now. The reason why they are talking about it like its "no big deal" is because its a helluva lot better then what they see as the alternative.

Zogby is one of the worst pollsters there is. He has a big name, but he has some horrible polling practices. ANY Zogby poll needs to be taken with a grain of salt. He's famous for "volunteer" and internet polling. He's the deuchebag who in the 2000 primaries, went to one of the Carolinas, got on CNN, and said "On Thursday, McCain's lead was 4%. Now, McCain's lead over Bush is 2%. Bush is coming back really strong!" Uh, no, Zogby, both of those polls are within the margin of error, and therefore they are a friggin tie.

Did you bother to read what he claims he was supposed to say, but fked up?

Of course, the whole problem with that article is that they assume the public will follow what a few people with an extreme view of marriage believe. I don't buy the slippery slope argument for a minute.

This doesn't mean that they are doing what they can to help Democrats win the election. In fact, what it means is that they are playing up the big story of this election time: Holy Jesus, the Democrats might actually win something! This is exemplified in this quote: What, exactly, should they be reporting on right now as far as the election goes? Except that the reporters don't have much power in the media industry. Just because the reporters are liberal/democrats doesn't mean crap honestly. Its why most of the studies that have come out show that news coverage on a whole is pretty centrist, while the editorial pages are far less centrist. The people that have the power are the owners of the media outlets. They're the ones that set the tone for the entire organization, and they do so for profit interests, which leads back to all of the things I posted above. The key is that the reporters don't have the power, the owners do. The owners are greedy bastards who want money, and make sure that their news outlets do everything possible to get money. Most of the long-term scholarly research shows that reporting by the major media firms is, on average, much more centrist then either party wants to believe. The studies have also shown that people will feel that media coverage is biased against their own side. You see that in this very thread, with you feeling that they do everything they can to help the Dems win, while the liberals in this thread feel that its very biased toward Republicans.

If you can type, then you're not THAT hungover.

lol, you're going to hope that players on your own favorite team don't develop into good NFL players? What the hell are you doing that for?
