British law prevents the media from reporting how the parties have fared in opinion polls during the campaign or from detailing the parties' positions on the issues. But online media are not required to remove such reporting from their archives. The law restricts reporting on polling day to uncontroversial details such as where and when party leaders voted, and what the weather was when they did [/QUOTE]

why cant we have this america?

honestly, it would only serve to help the citizens.

Re: just read the thing i point out and what it means.

so you want the government to regulate the news organizations? am i understanding you correctly?

Re: just read the thing i point out and what it means.

they should be regulated...they are regulated by corporations now.

Re: just read the thing i point out and what it means.

huh? You mean by 'corporations', the FCC, among other government agencies?

Re: just read the thing i point out and what it means.

no I mean by the members of the board and share holders

Re: just read the thing i point out and what it means.

no i mean the [I][U]topic of political reporting during elections and campaigning[/U][/I] should be based on fact ant not opinion u ass. i shouldnt have to listen to keith olberman sucking this monkeys cock about how the liberal agenda will save us while its wrecked us in under one calander year. nor should i have a NAZI named glen back telling me how he has the solution

listen, we elected obama b/c the media, proof in teh fact he [B][U]CLEARLY DOESNT HAVE A FUCKING CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING[/U][/B] (sry, he doesnt).

and it seems Sarah fucking pallin is a "candidate" when i know 4th graders who know more about math and science and make better deciosns.

this isnt a political debate between parties. i hate them both. Obama = DUMB MOKEY, next repubican= same shit.

im just saying, maybe its time to drop "analyst opinion" and put forth more FACT.

Re: just read the thing i point out and what it means.

[FONT=Verdana]This actually incorrect. All the British Media does is talk about how the parties fared in opinion polls and it does detail parties’ positions on issues.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]The part the UK media failed to point out about these old women was that she was a racist bigot. She approached Gordon Brown asking him what he was doing about all these foreigners coming over here stealing our jobs. He should of told her they are paying your fucking pension you racist old pig. And a large proportion of the British work force is lazy old fucks who can't be bothered to work even when they have a job. Drink Tea, Scratch Balls, Want 3 Times The Money![/SIZE][/FONT]

[QUOTE] He's also the man who made the only gaffe that got any attention during the campaign. Not realizing he was still wearing a live microphone in his car as he was driven away from meeting a retired widow in northern England, he said the conversation was a "disaster." "Should never have put me with that woman -- whose idea was that?" he said to an unidentified aide. "She was just a sort of bigoted woman." [/QUOTE]

:RockOn:

Now THAT would have given the press something to get their teeth into - haha.

Re: just read the thing i point out and what it means.

might not be a bad idea,

what gets me is how the media and commercials for that matter deliver their material in a way that must assume the nation is stupid

do u guys know an outlet that reports the way u would like to have it reported or like "Dragnet", just the facts .

Re:

I think that you have to take what all of the news outlets report with a grain of salt, so to speak. There's a bit of truth, personal opinions, & complete BS imbedded in whatever news we see/read, IMO. I suppose it's like mining for gold...sifting through worthless crap to find the goods.
