POPSFadlallah Made Credible by CBS Blaming the U.S. for mosque bombing and assassination attempt in '85, they ignore that he had previously blamed Israel, allowed no alternative explanations, and completely ignored the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut. The show was about world's religion so why even go into politics if they aren't going to even attempt to do a balanced job?

POPSCompunding Bias In a nation where about 8% view the world in a similar fashion to the majority of this "community" it s quite understandable how they will use psychological maneuverings, slander, and wildly accuse those they disagree with of the tactics they themselves employ. For a rough analogy to the workings of the nasty clique lurking within THESE borders, just transpose these clipped examples to the current situation for a glimpse.

POPSIran Halted Nuclear Program Years Ago (!?) So..U.S.was right!. And our Mdl.East "footprint"has worked! What, I ask anyone, is embarrassing about this report? Not to mention the concept regarding how it is so true now and been so wrong before. The eagerness with which conventional media takes this one seriously should eliminate ANY trace of doubt as to where the mainstream bias HEAVILY lies. No pun intended. Honestly.As least initially..... ... ok ..NOW it is intended!

POPSPBS "Gagginlgy" One-Sided
--<< "Bill Moyers and His Impeach-Bush Bandwagon. Partisanship was redefined as statesmanship when the latest reincarnation of the PBS program Bill Moyers Journal devoted an hour to two guests who agreed that President Bush and Cheney urgently need to be impeached. Tavis Smiley Campaigns Against the GOP., Smiley grew furious when four front-runners decided to skip the GOP debate right before the third-quarter fundraising deadline.He skewered the candidates before, after, and during the debate on PBS, and took his anti-GOP outrage to other TV networks. The "Independent" Television Service. ITVS, a left-wing filmmakers' collective located in Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district, draws about $15 million a year.Taxpayers have funded a long list of films knocking the Bush administration's policies, celebrating leftist agitators, and promoting "progressive" sexual politics. Nurturing a new generation of liberal filmmakers, and not conservative filmmakers, is the mission of ITVS." >>-

POPSAnti-Capitalistic Mentality (circa 1956) --<< "The American Mercury (March 1957) .... In addition, von Mises never mentions what may be the main reason for anti-capitalist thinking, namely that Americans have been indoctrinated over some 30 years by Communists strategically placed in our schools and universities, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, the entertainment industry, government and our churches." >>--

POPSAmericanAcademics Misrepresented. In an attempt to misrepresent, and basically LIE, dmegivern tried to post this: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/0D13C9F9-FFB9-4238-BD46-518A7C802977/ "American Academics", implying that one group far outnumbering another in "American Academe" as it was put, must be the result of that first group attending, graduating,being part of, etc as opposed to the other,due to the supposition that they are the sophisticated, correct ones. And it would follow, presumably, that this is the reason why colleges are dominated by liberals, because simply put,anybody else isn't smart enough. Well, the article beyond a couple sentences, was available for $40 and would have made quite a different impression. One the professor would have had a different response to, I venture. (Besides, even taking your interpretation, misleading as it is, the intro referred to "centrists". Not "liberals".

POPSRE-defining Conflict Monitoring First,they had participants complete a political questionnaire, which included a question about whom, if anyone, they voted for in the 2004 presidential election, along with a scale ranging from -5 ("extremely liberal") to 5 ("extremely conservative"). Next they had participants complete a Go/No-Go task. In their version, participants were shown an M or a W, and told to respond only to one or the other by pressing a key (half the participants responded to M's, and half to W's). Responding to the target letter is the Go part, and not responding to the other letter is the No-Go part. In order to make responding the default, 80% of the 500 trials each participant saw were Go trials. This makes is so that when a No-Go trial pops up, participants face potential crosstalk interference.

POPSAmodio Study - Part 4/4 --<<But the original definition of CM, written six years ago by the researchers who hypothesized it, didn't presume that the habitual response was wrong, inappropriate, or objectively mismatched with current requirements. It presumed only that a stimulus had challenged the habit. According to the original definition, CM is "a system that monitors for the occurrence of conflicts in information processing." It "evaluates current levels of conflict, then passes this information on to centers responsible for control, triggering them to adjust the strength of their influence on processing." In experiments such as Amodio's, the habit is objectively wrong: You tapped the button, and the researcher knows that what you saw was a W. But real life is seldom that simple. Maybe what you saw—what you think you saw—will turn out to require a different response from the one that has hitherto served you well. Maybe it won't.

POPSAmodio Study - Part 3/4 --<<"A study that invited such complications would be more interesting—examining, for instance, whether conservatives, having resisted doubts about the wisdom of the status quo, are more likely than liberals to doubt the wisdom of change".>>--

POPSAmodio Study - Part 2/4 Habitual way of thinking. Informational complexity. Need to change. Those are sweeping terms. They imply that conservatives, on average, are adaptively weaker at thinking, not just button-pushing. And that implication has permeated the press. The Los Angeles Times told readers that the study "suggests that liberals are more adaptable than conservatives" and "might be better judges of the facts." Agence France Presse reported that conservatives in the study "were less flexible, refusing to deviate from old habits 'despite signals that this ... should be changed.' " The Guardian asserted, "Scientists have found that the brains of people calling themselves liberals are more able to handle conflicting and unexpected information."

POPSAmodio Study - Part 1/4 (lol) Are liberals smarter than conservatives? It looks that way, according to a study published this week in Nature Neuroscience. In a rapid response test—you press a button if you're given one signal, but not if you're given a different signal—the authors found that conservatives were "more likely to make errors of commission," whereas "stronger liberalism was correlated with greater accuracy." They concluded that "a more conservative orientation is related to greater persistence in a habitual response pattern, despite signals that this response pattern should change."

POPS Post's Arab media dhimmitude And might I add: = meted out to the atheist,the secular. In fact, maybe, especially so. For that is the source of the culture the fundamentalists rail against - what they call the immorality that calls for beheading.

POPSPress set to SOIL on Report. <quote So how does WaPo report this? White House officials did not deny making the proposal in informal talks with Congress, but they said yesterday that they will not shield the commanding general in Iraq and the senior U.S. diplomat there from public congressional testimony required by the war-funding legislation President Bush signed in May. quote> To make it appear they tried to hide,got caught, then allowed some access,........ALL manufactured by the press,.....and they know they can do it 'cause this W.H. team has been missing these tricks all along and its left to talkers afterwards to try and defend them. Who are accused, of course, of parroting talking points.The reason the talkers have that role is because the admin. is not quick or sharp enough to catch these points in the first place. Which gives me a smirk every time I hear the 'marching orders' accusation. (Dey not too quick up dere.)

POPSSelf Disclosure Among Journalists ADDITIONALLY:=== New-York based newsletter, The Journalist and Financial Reporting.

POPSSpecialDoctrine is Not FairnessDoctrine Even aside from forcing content on a public which repeatedly rejects it, this "fairness" doctrine would probably regard the basic network "news" broadcasts, or PBS as neutral ,and not requiring equal time from opposing views. Communists,anti-American groups,anti-free press and anti-free market forces complain they don't have equal media voice. They've been expressing this through socialist and liberal media outlets and guest appearances on conservative talk shows.Hmmm. Know who is behind this dictatorial push for muffling of the press. On the other hand, printers of crucial national security information ought to be held in contempt or reveal the treasonous individuals.
