    Your theory is a friggin' joke and as shallow as a puddle. You keep repeating the same damn mantra and don't listen to anybody else. Use the search command and see where I've criticized democrats if it bothers you. I proved you wrong and you can't accept it. You seem to think you know more about me than I do.

    I'll criticize who I want to, anytime I want to, and I don't give a rat's ass if you like it or not. :mad:

    Nope its called doing their job and covering a major story in american politics, it is an election year if you hadnt notice. I would say ABC and CBS for sure are definitely not in the tank for Obama. Let me repeat what I said in my last post since you dont see my criticism of a network. MSNBC seems to be definitely in the tank for Obama (please pay attention to this sentence), which would remove its credibilty of fairness, ie the reason the thread was created in the first place was to showcase how they intend to correct it. The reason why Fox didnt make the trip because they are in the tank for McCain whether you want to admit it or not, its the truth. Foxnews has a right wing spin, bias or whatever word you will fail to use.

    CNN has moved more to the middle lately, CBS was definitely a liberal media outlet, but not anymore.
    MSNBC and Fox News are the extremes in this discussion.

    I did a search and this is all I could find.
    Anyway, I don't see how my theory is that bad really, Sabanfan seemed to agree with my theory.
    After one cries wolf or foul for so long they can look like they are something they may or may not be.
    It is only a message board here on no one knows where you really stand on most issues unless it is in writing here.
    That is why I made a thread so everyone can let everyone know where they are coming from otherwise this type of thing can happen.
    Sorry, I really didn't mean to upset you.
    I was just trying to figure out what you oppose other than republicans?
    I apologize.

    I am trying to understand why their anchors went with Obama overseas and reported nightly and didn't do the same thing with McCain?
    Seems kinda partial to me?
    I never said you didn't criticize any network?:huh:
    I wouldn't put fox news in the same category as cbs, nbc or abc personally.
    The reason is that the only way you can get fox news or msnbc is through satellite and cable, i would leave msnbc out of it also btw.
    You are assuming an awful lot, I've never said fox news or any network wasn't leaning one way or the other.
    I do believe fox news is more balanced than any other network although I would agree they lean right.
    CNN, I would disagree, Michael Moore was on Larry King Live the other nite.
    He also goes on MSNBC quite often, he is an extremist.
    We can certainly agree to disagree here but I fail to see how the main 3 networks anchors can go on tour with Obama and never go on tour with McCain and call themselves objective journalists or not be Obama's camp.
    I agree with MSNBC but I wonder how many people would agree with your opinion of fox news being extreme.

    Ok, so I am leaving free-speech alley for quite some time.
    I have seen some things from posters and the media that have been disturbing.
    The post wasn't a response to me btw but it did make me upset.
    Maybe I took what they said the wrong way, its hard to figure out what one is meaning vs what they write on a message board.
    I have been a little more aggressive with some than I normally would.
    Maybe I went to far or maybe I didn't write my phrase the correct way.
    I am sorry if I upset anyone.
    I need a break!

    Hannity is not pro McCain so much as he is anti-Obama. Like me, he realizes that Barack is just not ready for the job and needs a lot more seasoning.

    He'd kill me, but the audience would love me.:hihi:

    No sweat, pay no attention to my irritation. I'm just having a bad week with no power for 10 days, not expected to get it back until the 24th, no insurance adjuster has showed up yet, wind and rain from Ike will likely strip the tarps from my roof, and my elderly Beagle has a tumor that will need attention as soon as my vet is back up and running.

    Life's a bitch in the semitropics. :cool:

    FSA would not be the same without you, especially in an election year.

    I'd slay you in the arguments, you'd pummel me in the witticisms, and we'd both delight the MILFS with our cantakerous charm. :grin:

    You could soak him in Tabasco, dip him in egg wash, and roll him in Zatarains Seasoned Fish Fry - he'd still be nothing but a well-groomed Socialist. With a tasty, crispy crust...
