    of course, little guy. only the opposite side of the political spectrum from you would dare do such a thing. your sides is noble and honest and never enlists the aid of biased media. you are one of the good guys. your side is a bunch of honest wonderful people, and the other side is a propaganda spreading jerks. congrats.

    in fact, because you are on the noble side of the issues, you are a better person that everyone. its not that your desperate need to think of yourself as a good and superior person has led you to adopt a political philosophy of pretense and feelgood nonsense. that would be crazy! its only your opponents that are driven by silly motives, like the religious right!

    Does Fox tell lies or some chit? Who gives a chit if they sell ratings based on giving the GOP talking points?

    You do I guess.


    News flash bro, don’t watch it……

    Like most level headed people, I watch all news channels and separate the facts from the chit on my own accord…

    You and martin are both missing the point because you are assuming what the article is about and raving about another thing entirely. You blithely assume that everything that is not right is left.

    tell me again what the article is about? cable news isnt good for some reason? i wont believe it.

    generally the people who are most critical of fox are the people who are themselves full of opinions that are even more destructive. most people who are really obsessed with fox are fans of jon stewart, himself a raving idealogue, falsely claiming to be a non-involved comedian.

    again, if you think the other networks are not promoting a political philosophy, you are naive. and fox isnt doing it overtly, they claim to be fair and balanced, exactly like everyone else.

    there are people that have a perspective that is far from mainstream america. from their perspective, CNN is crazy. so be it. perhaps CNN is closer to the average american than fox or msnbc. but perhaps fox is closer, because they get great ratings and represent the viewpoints of millions. so? what of it? thats the nature of media!

    as far as i am concerned, all the big media stations are cowards and religious lunatics. they have cult leaders like priests on and act like they actually deserve respect. its crazy! but that is my perspective. so be it. media doesnt agree with everyone.

    to expect that a network like fox wouldnt exist is crazy. to be suprised by it is stupid. to not be aware of the nature of this is impossibly ignorant.

    if that article had some info in it that you were not just kinda aware of, from living on earth, then you need to turn off your tv and try reading something longer than a 13 page article.

    No, I'm just saying that you are far far far left. I already know that Fox is far right slanted. I can't stand Hanity or O'Reilly, they both spin the news so hard it doesn't even closely resemble the truth. You can add Beck and Limbaugh to that group too. I can't take them for more than 5 seconds. However the left leaning news agencies spin just as hard to the left, something you refuse to acknowledge because you are so far left slanted yourself. I just don't understand how someone can so loudly complain about right slanted news agencies while drowning themselves in the koolade spewed from the far left.

    Before Fox News, nobody knew what the right was saying.

    Agreed, and now we know that the far right is every bit as crazy as the far left.
