I read the story. It's spammed the entire internet. Koch brothers and Exxon money is hard at work. There's a pretty good chance they paid the protestors too, I can't even get to much other than this story repeated and a few Democratic partisan replies like this one, Fox News Scandalizes Hillary Clinton's Speaking Fee At UNLV, when I run a keyword search.

All media is biased.

Sure, some more than others. Fair.org presents some excellent statistical studies to quantify biases.

I'm not saying don't go after Hillary. All I am saying is ... Let's try to avoid the corporate partisan spam machine when doing so. Why? Because that benefits those partisans with both credibility to say "Bush didn't lie," and with link juice to help the spamming efforts.

If you want some practically-over-the-top criticism of Hillary or Obama, You know where to go: Webster Tarpley! :D

And many more.

You can quantify a bias. You can also spin a quantification of a bias. Then, you can use metarules to calculate the amount of spin in a bias quantification. I think bias is within a range determinable.

Since you chose me to be a mod here, I must say that censorship is not an issue here Not a chance. Forget it.

As a member of the community, I would and do discourage, hopefully with good arguments and moral authority, what I see as the excessive proliferation of partisan spam. People may agree or disagree, but each submitter ultimately decides.

If there is any censorship going on, its the repetitive eleven-figure funded Republican spin machine pushing anyone who disagrees so far down the web that they become hard to find.

I'm gonna try a little experiment. Check the NEW section in a few minutes. :D
