they do have a generic preference - however what they mostly are is careful. mostly they just spend money on incumbents who are safe and support their agenda. they tend to stay out of toss-up races, lest they bet wrong.kalm wrote:Great analogy.GannonFan wrote:

That's a whole lot different than your, "Y'all have corporate america. you've got enough." statement from earlier in this thread.TwinTownBisonFan wrote:they do have a generic preference - however what they mostly are is careful. mostly they just spend money on incumbents who are safe and support their agenda. they tend to stay out of toss-up races, lest they bet wrong.kalm wrote:

These signatures have a 500 character limit?
What if I have more personalities than that?

And that's a whole lot different than you insinuating Republicans are the party of business in another thread.Baldy wrote:That's a whole lot different than your, "Y'all have corporate america. you've got enough." statement from earlier in this thread.TwinTownBisonFan wrote:

And how did I do that, by calling the Republican Bush I a tax raiser and put him on equal footing as Clinton?kalm wrote:And that's a whole lot different than you insinuating Republicans are the party of business in another thread.Baldy wrote:

Who'd they break with in 00' and 04'? because 00' was up in the air past election day, and 04' was up in the air till that evening.GannonFan wrote:It's like a chicken and egg thing - it became clear when the money broke so much in favor of one candidate.

General dickhead, the point of the article, and of the entire thread, is to back the mythical idea of 'the liberal media", as touted by conservative jerk offs like yourself.LeadBolt wrote:The article quotes "some tv executives" are pushing a left wing agenda and that is correct and what I agreed with.kalm wrote:
Captain Obvious jumps from "some" to "all" due to a lack of reading comprehension, then makes the point that it is only some of the networks push the left wing agenda, and that networks are not a unified group and some of the 1000 networks he claims exist, push the right wing agenda. He is correct, if you throw in all of them, although I doubt there are 1000.
If I made a broad generalization, it was simply for argument's sake, and because that is the gist of point of those who claim a liberal media bias.
at ease.

Is that what's pushing (D) Mark Dayton and (D) St Paul Mayor Coleman, the Minneapolis Tribune and other local media to not support the Vikings stadium location that isn't close to corporate downtown Minneapolis.TwinTownBisonFan wrote:Y'all have corporate america. you've got enough.
Dems and Reps are both in the corporation lobby business.
