Nope, the mainstream audience wants to read about puppies and peace. So that's what the moviemakers give them, and that's what makes the children liberal these days.
And for the record, I read Demon's post, and it's the same thing he told me yesterday in person. And it's just him ranting and raving about the FOX news corporation. It may seem like a relevant post because he uses numbers (ooooh... numbers), but really he uses the whole post to say FOX has a conservative bias. But this is an intentional bias, and one I am not worried about. It's the subliminal bias in movies and TV that I'm worried about. It may seem like my posts are just my opinions and theories, but I always use one thing instead of numbers. I like to call it common sense.

simpsons also attacks liberals and lable them as corrupt, and both those shows support the idea of a family unit.
and lobtrocity, those conservative biases I pointed out are just as rampant as the liberal ones and fit just as well into media and entertainment and bias as yours do. Only a few dont accually fit in media, and those are ones rampantly placed upon us in the school. News focuses too much on gas prices, thats a conservative bias. the idea of a "normal" person is a conservative bias, since it treats others as 2nd class citizens, thus fitting in with conservatism. plus whites DOMINATE all the acting and directing jobs, there are very few minority actors. how about all the nationalist things you can see in the entertainment, or the fact that most take place in US, that creates a view of isolationism, a view supported by conservatives. Just look around, the entertainment is filled with conservative bias, just as much as liberal bias.
And liberals did well in large states, because they have large cities, large ethnicly diverse cities, lots of variety, people use to seeing it. Conservatives do well in small states because its mostly rurel, few cities, most uniformly white and christian. TV has nothing to do with it (besides, TV per capita is not that much lower in smaller states, and hours spent watching tv per day is almost the same)

YES, we aren't talking about intentional bias, it's the bias that's everywhere in the media. It can't be stopped because it is essentially the bias that makes entertainment what it is. It's liberal bias, it's here to stay, and it's corrupting the children!

'Fraid not. You see, the liberal media is corrupting the children. The children grow up and raise more children. Liberal children, because they live by the rules their liberal parents teach them. No sign of conservatives in sight. With no conservatives, how will the media get a conservative bias? These things don't happen by magic. There are reasons. Please use logic.
Nope, soon we will have a Democratic president (2008, wait and see) and the media will continue to be liberal. It all goes downhill from there. The media makes the people liberal. The liberal people contibute to their media. The cycle goes on, with no conservatives anywhere to stop it. It's happening already.
Now that I think about it. You probably only think what I say is false because Mr. Christiansen told you so. Don't listen to him, he's one of them.

The media goes both way, because if the media was all liberal I could make a fortune selling a conservative paper, people who are liberals read what they want to hear (along with conservatives) so logicaly either sides of the news paper will prosper, now minnesota is a liberal state so logicaly the media is going to be more liberal, but there is conservative news.

Yes, but that only applies to news. I am referring to entertainment, which is the thing most of the population of this country cares about most.

what about that movie you saw? where they kill everyone? and there are a lot of military movies out there and isn't that what conservatives believe in the most? the military?!? and thank you very much for caring BUT I am using logic, when we have a republican for a president we see liberal movies, so when we have a democrat for a president, we will see conservative movies.

Well, have you even heard of that movie I saw? Probably not, because it was not very popular and ended up being left out of mainstream media.
As for seeing conservative movies when we have a liberal president, I doubt it, but only time will tell.

the entertainment industry isn't biased. they can't be, they only care about making a profit. Now to aim at liberal values or conservatives values would lose them more audiance than they would gain, so you are either ignoreing too many conservative biased movies and ideals, or you think the average american is liberal (even though they are by definition moderate).
as for military movie, does behind enemy lines ring a bell, how about saving private ryan...

Lol, both of those movies were liberal you fool! Well, I never saw behind enemy lines, but Saving Private Ryan was liberal because they were trying to save one guy who's brothers had all been killed they were showing how sad war is.

it romanticized war, made it look better than it really is, and they hosted it in WWII, a war that no one is going to call unjustified except the most extreamist pacifists. if they were going to make it look bad, they would have used vietnam, or a new war, or something along those lines.

Im gonna have to agree with Gamerman, just about all war movies makes war look cool, and I dont believe the entertainment industry is biased, they only make what makes money so its just a matter of whats popular.
