A Tale of Two Stories

[DennisinPeoria]

Let's ask @RPlant then. Did you mean to say "Local station", and not 'Local Yocal station"?, Perhaps you accidently put in that extra word? I know it can happen if you're trying to type on an Smartphone.

Talk about spinning. You really think his phone added the word "yokel", with the wrong spelling, on its own?

I think the lack of answer is answer enough in this case. Plant will never admit wrong, no matter what.

You'd be surprised how many times I've had a word pop in that I didn't want, or wrong letters because I think the keyboard interface is off a bit (had same problem on both old phone and new phone) and had to go back and rewrite the sentence. Been using the preview function a little more lately.

@RPlant , your thoughts?

I could ALMOST stretch my imagination far enough to entertain that idea @DennisinPeoria, except as @Tazewell pointed out, if the phone had "accidentally" inserted a word on its own, the word would have been spelled correctly. Nope, Plant put that in there intentionally. His lack of spelling skills gave him away.

Dennis asked for RPlant's comments and got AV8R's comments. There is something wrong with his phone.

@DennisinPeoria, I addressed your original posts here:

Any response?

Based on your criticisms, you might as well have said "far left". Yes, the actual story was non-political, but the thread was not about what was in the story, but how 2 media stations reported it, using almost exact same words, yet one is considered left, and the other isn't.

which was exactly the criticism Tazewell leveled against your "test." You may have just as well picked two stories about a local little league team. If the stories you are comparing are NOT POLITICAL stories, how does one tell which comes from a left leaning source? You set this up to fail, and when it did you declared victory. It doesn't work that way.

I mean, if you want me to start calling Leftist WMBD by the name Far Leftist WMBD, I can, but I never said that. I also never said WEEK didn't lean Left, but they don't do near as many stories relating to the Leftist agenda as WMBD.

[DennisinPeoria]

So which stories that WMBD air that has a Leftist agenda, and which same stories that WEEK airs don't have a Leftist agenda?

Stop comparing WMBD to WEEK. Start comparing WMBD to the news station it could be without any bias either way or an agenda to push.
