All it needs is for the folks with the microphones to have nametags that say "Fox News," "NewsMax," "Powerline Blog," or other right-wing nut-job media outlet. Then it would be as accurate as it would be true.
Overall, though, this is just not funny nor creative.
"Asked who they voted for in the past election, the journalists reported picking Kerry over Bush by 68% to 25%. In this sample of 300 journalists, from both newspapers and TV, Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 3 to 1 -- but about half claim to be Independent. As in previous polls, a majority (53%) called their political orientation "moderate," versus 28% liberal and 10% conservative."
-The University of Connecticut Department of Public Policy
A 2002 study by Jim A. Kuypers of Dartmouth College, Press Bias and Politics, investigated the issue of media bias. In this study of 116 mainstream US papers, including The New York Times, the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle, Kuypers found that the mainstream press in America tends to favor liberal viewpoints.

The media is on a whole biased to the left so please get your facts right before you talk.
You know, I had this math professor once who was soooo unbelievably biased. He would tolerate only correct answers. Any time I tried to lie and make shit up, he'd mark it wrong. Frickin' biased prick!
I think we kind of have to include them among the "media" since they provide information and images broadcast to a large audience. You can call them "right-wing media", "new media", whatever. I just wouldn't call them the "press," "journalists," or the "news" since they follow no norms of journalistic ethics or integrity.
But this was my point way up at the top. The cartoon is flawed if we are to think the interviewers are reporters from reputable news organizations. They sound more like the Rush Limbaugh group to which you referred.

Of course, given how many say that they haven't been interested in politics before, it would appear that inexperience runs across the camp...

or
2. You know the cartoon is not even close to describing reality so you are complimented by not being an idiot.

Those are the facts. I have proof:

So I have won. You have lost.
How's about we now copypasta that last sentence back and forth to each other?

See, I too can make no sense more than nobody else either.

Date: 2008-03-07 12:47 am (UTC)My quote. Saying this cartoon isn't close reality
"Since you claim this is close to reality, you are admitting your an idiot. LOL."
Your quote showing you can't read. LOL.
So, I assume you'll be returning the personal insults or are you just going to complain about the cartoon and keep it. That's so ironic.
