You have no idea what I'm planning to do with my life. "Going into music" is such a broad term, it almost is TOO simplified. But whatever. If you think a producer is going to shoot someone else over a Brahms recording, you go right ahead. ROFLMAOYou're confuzzled? You are entering one of the most corrupt industries there is. Music industry where record producers shoot each other. Cheating on royalties is common place, and entertainment politics gets you work, or gets you black balled.
The music industry makes politicians look like (pardon the pun) choir boys.:lol:
That's wonderful. And SO on the topic of Fox News being biased towards the GOP. Thank you, Chukpike.The entertainment industry does look like a good fit for you, although it looks like comedy would be a better choice.
I almost always find your posts entertaining.:smile:
George W. Bush born into wealth? Yes. John McCain born into wealth? Yes.Ever here of Franklin D Roosevelt? Theodore Roosevelt?
Nixon, born into wealth. no.
Reagan, born into wealth. no.
You need to learn to rely less on propaganda and more on verifiable information.
Don't give me that bullsh*t.
Semantics. Sure, Sarah Palin isn't technically part of the government right now, but she used to be. And she sure as hell has a lot of pull with the people (which is what our government is all about anyway). But I'll give it to you. None of these people are "technically" running for President yet. But I guarantee you someone from that list will run. In any case, my point was not that Fox News shouldn't have contracts with people who might want to run for president in the future. MY POINT WAS:Fox News is a biased company because they ONLY have Republican candidates in that contract. They don't have any "deals" with Barack Obama. They don't have any "deals" with Hillary Rodham Clinton. They only have prominent figures from the Republican party. That is news bias. Plain and simple.Rob, That is the point I'm trying to make here. Elected officials ARE working for the government and should not run for another office while holding an elected office. The contributors for Fox are not yet part of the government. They are private citizens. Once they declare their contracts are terminated. This has all been gone over before. You have a complete lack of understanding of this distinction and I will not revisit this as I am having better luck talking to a brick wall.
Well done, attempting to use the percentages instead of the actual amounts. I ALMOST had to concede. Until I looked closer and saw that, while percentage-wise Time Warner has given more, monetarily, News Corp still wins out. (That $1,000,000 donation doesn't show up on your source.) While I would prefer news organizations stay out of party donations altogether, that is simply not possible. So, for now, I will stick with the one who gives less than the other.What about organized labor? What about Time Warner? They own CNN and Time magazine. You have no problem with them contributing to the Dems in greater amounts than News Corp did? So yes I do consider you naive because Time Warner gave greater than 80% of its contributions to Dems in both 2008 and 2010.
Not quite. I think more wealth should go to the government so it can put it to better use than sitting in a bank account collecting interest.Ahhh. Here we go. Pretty soon you will be advocating wealth redistribution.
Not from insurance companies or "unbiased" news groups, they didn't. By the way, the Republicans overall HAVE out raised the Democrats. So "the Dems got almost 3x as much" doesn't exactly "hold water" either.Rob, In the article you quoted, as I pointed out, the Dems got almost 3x as much money in the same period.
I think it says a lot not about how much groups are donating, but WHICH groups are donating. "Washington based labor groups" are donating to the Democrats, while a major insurance company is giving to the Republicans. Who's agenda is more worth trying to push?
I highly doubt that, friend.Rob you are obviously taking this a lot more personally than I am. I'm just trying to point out that your arguments don't hold water. I'll bet you watch foxnews more than I do.
