Talk:Conservative Bias

From Conservapedia

The New York Post has a conservative bias? Learn together 12:34, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

It's one of Rupert Murdoch's newspapers, so take that as you will. DanH 12:37, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

I would like to see something more than Rupert Murdoch owned = conservative bias by default. While it was many years ago, the last time I read the New York Post it was blasting into Jerry Falwell with the best of them ("Falwell bellowed", etc). At least back then you couldn't even classify it as conseravtive, let alone conservative bias. Learn together 13:11, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

Any objection to its removal? Learn together 13:54, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

I also just read that the paper endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2006. I'd have to believe that can be removed without stepping on any toes. Learn together 19:37, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

How about the Washington Times? ObiBinks 22:26, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

Why is it that this page is so lacking in content as compared to the Liberal bias page? If one objectively looks for it, I'm sure you could find massive amounts of conservative bias (you could try using this page as an example). Konserve

In agreement with Konserve...the bulk of this piece is a quote from an accused conservatively biased source, defending itself from the same accusations. Instead, a solid explanation of reasoning behind this bias would make sense. Acronym

Reason for Revert

I reverted Acronyms edits because they are unsubstantiated and false. --Crocoite 14:15, 19 January 2008 (EST)

You reverted my edits because you would rather the conservative bias throughout Conservapedia not be mentioned and instead the slant towards liberal bias be excentuated. There is bias to everything one way or another. Instead of blaming one or the other for being a corruption of righteousness, why not just point it out where it is and whatever it is. Why is this article some sort of defense for this wiki?

Question

Can a person really have a conservative bias? Doesn't that just mean they are conservative? I think we should limit this to writings or organizations. Also, I think the phrase which was reverted (and caused an edit conflict grrrr) was an unecessary swipe at liberal media. HelpJazz 10:25, 1 February 2008 (EST)

I'd reckon that someone could have a conservative bias just as someone can have a liberal bias.--RossC 11:05, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Well obviously I would apply the same criticism to similar examples in liberal bias. A person can write articles or make movies that have a liberal or conservative bias, but I don't think "bias" an attribute you can attribute to an individual. HelpJazz 16:00, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Warning of deletion

This entry is below our standards, containing accusations as though they are facts and also misleading the reader in the first few sentences by making appear that there is an overall "conservative bias" when, of course, there isn't. Either someone should rewrite this soon in compliance with our rules, or it's gone.--Aschlafly 10:38, 1 February 2008 (EST)

I'll take a look at it when I get back from classes later today. HelpJazz 10:44, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Perhaps it should be made more like this article? Feebasfactor 15:48, 1 February 2008 (EST)

I agree, I'm not sure how it should be rewritten. It defines conservative bias, says it exists, but says it doesn't exist as much as liberal bias. The first couple lines are almost verbatum the same words as liberal bias. What is it you don't like about it? If you really think it doesn't follow the rules could you it to the essay namespace instead? HelpJazz 16:02, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Shouldn't this be merged with Liberal Bias?

It seems to make more sense to merge both into a "political bias" article.
