    She writes books. Rush does radio. There is more "media" out there than television. Read a book or a newspaper now and then and discover that there is a lot that FOXNews doesn't report.

    Total bullshit. Offer some evidence and good luck with that. Other than MSNBC and FOXNews, most news providers are very balanced. CNN and BBC are the best at this.

    You just can't handle the truth, Jack.

    Of course I will dismiss it because you offer no evidence to support it and the comment you just offered is ridiculous.

    Myself, as I'm sure from reading you here were raised by people with certain values and they passed those along to us as I'm sure holds true to just about everyone.

    So knowing he was raised by people that were "less than complimentary " of the way we did things, why is it so hard to believe? Oh, let's not forget who he studied under and the way he conducted himself during his formative years. Of course that was all nothing and he just let go of everything that was instilled in him his whole life and went a totally different direction for no apparent reason.

    Uh huh[/QUOTE]Dude, you are making shit up. He has 7 years of record as President. What exactly has he done that is anti-American? Give me a list. You can't, so you insinuate that he hates America because of how he was raised. Well how was he raised? Do you actually know? What was unAmerican about it? Why should anyone care? He has a friggin' track record that is not Anti-American at all. This is pure character assassination based on lies, innuendo, and ignorance.

    I challenge you to support this sad argument with anything resembling evidence.

    I will give you this, the radio is the equalizer to the liberal choke hold on the boob tube.

    Lol, you mean the truth that you make up ;)

    Its not proportional though, I'd guess that the numbers are about 3:1 if not more that watch TV than listen to the radio for their news. I spend a lot of time behind the wheel so not much TV for me, if I do it is normally not on any news channel.

    I don't think his Pastor raised him... At best he was around him some as a young adult.

    I don't think there is a possible winner in the argument of who has more media. There is plenty of both, I do think there are some sources that are more objective. And I never just read from one source, and if I see its an opinion piece, I usually stop reading.

    This happens on both sides of the street, I am only talking about one for simplicity. I think the main argument is that Republicans complain that media is mostly left leaning, and to be honest they are correct in their views. However I think a good majority of Republicans are so far right, that every is to the left of them. So it warps their view of the world. And they use this argument as justification to only listen to one type of news. I view it as sticking their head in sand. Also I find the atmosphere to be so polarizing that they surround themselves with only people with the same world view. They refuse to listen to other points of view because one side has demonized the other, so if you identify with either, the other ignores you. Its frustrating, and its not how America should work.
