Actually, I have no idea why you have decided I'm not calm; this is a figment of your imagination.

No one has to post in any topic, no one is BARRED from posting in any topic (unless they're banned). So stuff that particular tactic back in it's box. You don't get to dictate who does or doesn't post in any thread here.

You most certainly DID say that YOU should do something about it, you made a whole thread complaining about it. Or does that not apply to you for some reason?

Yes, indeed you said that the press should be more creative in it's use of catch phrases. We all get it, that was the topic of the first post. Then somehow (and this seems to be the part you don't get) you tried to put the blame for that on the press being biased and, being biased being some sort of "liberal" trait.

So, once more I need to ask:

What has the press being "liberal" (your own derailment) got to do with using "__gate" (your actual thread topic)?

Will you actually answer that? Or is asking you to do so a personal attack?

And I'll remind you once more: you don't get to decide who posts in a thread.

Because your posts are erratic.

True, but then again, you always seem to state that my posts are stupid, and not worth your time, yet you post in them, dare I ask why?

Another topic...not this topic, keep them in order please. And I already said in this topic I have done something about it, guess you missed that part.

No, I said the press is liberal, and I said that studies have shown it, and if you need any direct proof just pick up the newspaper.  I'll go one step further and say just read the political section and see how many posts are negative against the republicans. If you want I link I can provide... as I said before all you need to do is ask. Or are you too much of a Mod or a man to actually have to ask a question, and the only way you do is by demanding?

Nothing beyond that there are two separate topics in this thread... and I am conversing in both at the same time, it's called multitasking.

No, but you should also make a decision of posting in my threads to, you either do or don't... don't be amazed from this point forward unless I deem it necessary that you and tallgeese are ignored.

My local papers are Japanese....I'm not sure they'd be much help.

Do some googling then for American papers.

"otherwise I'll provide links if I have to" mean something different over there?

Well, "of" seems to mean "have" in cyberpawzland, so maybe "I'll provide links" means "do some Googling"? It does seem to fit a pattern.

Wonderful. Still irrelevant to your assertion that this has anything to do with the use of "__gate".
Care to make the connection, now?

Again, you are missing the point of multi-tasking...

As someone graceously pointed out Tiny Link

Look at all the "gates" how many are there, what are they used for? Why does it every time that a politician do something wrong it gets a gate suffix on the end of it?  It has cheapened the word, it make me roll my eyes and just ignore the context of the article...

The newspapers have cheapened the suffix of gate as they have Hero... time to get some new suffix or word to mutilate.

No, it is just that papers in Japanese may not converse the same liberal biased as American newspapers... all you need to do is Google for a few American ones and you got proof...

And for any other information if you really want a decent link..

link

You googled a bit and picked the first one that backed your claim? In other words a site that supports your bias? A quick glance at the sites returned by Google seemed to be about half and half. Hardly proof - and hardly independent I'm sure.
Google didn't seem to return anything on the liberal bias-"gate" link though.

It has been proven in more than one case that the written press and the TV reporters are more than just a tad bit liberal... and I don't mean in the way that liberal in how much they report, but on how they report things...

Proven? Really? You'll no doubt point us the direction of the independent body that proved it......

Pick up your local newspaper, and you'll see with your own two eyes... otherwise I'll provide links if I have to...

Dallas Morning News is does not have a liberal bias.

On the other hand, liberal policies err on the side of individual rights and freedoms, until they go around the curve to meet the authoritatians. Conservative policies seem to err on the side of institutions at the expence of individual rights and freedom, until they go around the curve to meet the authoritarians. But it isn't that far a drive for the conservatives right now.

So which bias would you rather have in the media? One that is biased in your indiviual favor, or one that is biased towards institutions and government?

It would be nice if journalists could do some journalism and provide both sides of the story.

That would be refreshing for a change.
