Quote:I'm still trying to understand the logic that leads to the conclusion that the perception of bias and commenting on that perception equates to a lack of testicles.

 

While I do not wish to delve in political commentary or debate, I find it interesting to note that Fox news was created to combat what some perceived to be a liberal bias in the media.

 

Did the conservatives who created Fox news lack testicles because they perceived a liberal bias in the media?

 

Do people like Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, and Bill O' Reilly have inferiority complexes?

 

Did those who died in the Civil Rights movement for equal rights lack the requisites for maleness?

 

Did Gandhi need to grow a pair?

 

No, the stakes are not similar.  But we are not comparing severity of the bias or the stakes associated with it..  We are identifying bias and the responses to bias.

 

But lest you think these comparisons are inappropriate, consider...

 

Rush Limbaugh famously asserted McNabb is overrated because media types are rooting for black QBs to succeed. 

 

He commented on sports and how media bias impacts the perception of sports.

 

Did he lack self esteem, gonads, or both?  If all the media does is justified for pursuit of ratings, shouldn't he simply co-sign on what he perceived and went along with it?
