conservatives proposed that textbooks refer to the slave trade as the “Atlantic triangular trade.” ... Now Tennessee Tea Party members are taking their efforts a step further and trying to eliminate references to slavery in American history textbooks.
Several of the GOP candidates have even signed a pledge that claimed that blacks were better off under slavery than under President Obama.
Jesus Christ, Tea Party. Remember when people complained about and mocked Japan for removing references to its atrocities during WWII?

Well a big part of the GOP propaganda is that America is perfect and infallible. Can't have small details from history destroy that image or people might get the idea the the U.S.A. can actually do wrong!

On the other hand, these kinds of people might push Newt Goddamn Gingrich to the 2012 Republican Nomination and Something Even Funnier to the 2016 Nomination, meaning that by being terrible they're doing a net good.
dang, we slipped to 9th in a matter of minutes. We obviously aren't discussing this enough

This is exactly why America is an unstoppable, inevitable decline. You don't see this type of nonsense in Europe or Japan. America must rank at like #30 in terms of most civilized countries in the world. LOL

Seriously, not in Europe in Japan eve-oh wait. What's that? I should finish reading the entire first post. Well alright.

And on the European side, there's Switzerland's banning of minarets and France's banning of burkas and hijabs, all of which are xenophobic reactions to increasing muslim populations. And isn't it a huge social taboo to discuss Hitler, the holocaust, etc. in Germany?

From: masterplum | #025 As a conservative I disagree, as a neutral party I would say that its hard to say which is more biased.
Ehum yeah... Fox News is probably the most biased and most lacking of journalistic integrity major news source in the western world... Sure, MSNBC has people like Keith Olbermann too, but you know... You can kinda laugh at him, everyone pretty much knows he's laying on extra thick for the sake of laying on extra thick... Whereas all of Fox News is going overboard 24/7 and with a straight face cause they're completely serious about it the entire time.

Fox News only exists so that all other news companies can go about their biased business and people will think they are fair just because they're not as blatantly biased as Fox

See, Fox News doesn't pretend to be objective, so it's less insidious than mainstream media which pretends to be objective while promoting their worldview.
On the education, trying to scrub slavery away is dumb, but I do like that they want to have students compare Lincoln and Davis's speeches. That particular change is the opposite of whitewashing our history.

CNN is politically biased?* Why? Because conservatives said so?
I'd say they have a "global" worldview, as opposed to Fox News's America-centric worldview, and they try to act as though this were the objective point of view. Which isn't bad, just they don't do it with anywhere near the blatancy of Fox News.
