    Limbaugh, Coulter, and Beck are every bit as bad as the Liberal liars on the other side. They represent everything that is wrong with the media today. They twist, spin and just flat out lie when the truth doesn't fit their need. However they are no worse than the multitude of Liberal media talking heads that do the exact same thing. I find it amazing how the blind mice on each side think that the talking heads that they follow speak only the truth while the other side only lies. Listening to these liars spin and lie and then listening to their minions defend their honor, it's easy to see how tragedies like Jonestown happened. Keep drinking the koolaid sheeple.

    The difference to me is that Rush et al are very upfront about the fact that they are offering their opinions on matters. They have very strong opinions and present them as undeniable but it is done in the form of an opinion on topics. The media bias that slants left is presented as fact or news reporting because left wing pundits are not entertaining so they stick them in front of the cameras as anchors.

    He does a little more than offer opinions. He flat out lies and distorts to justify his opinions.

    You are missing the point.
    The point is that everyone knows where he is coming from.
    All tv news resports him as conservative radio talk show Rush Limbaugh...

    No one gives ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC a title but they should.
    They flat out misrepresent their news and opinions by pretending to be objective when they are not.

    So do you but we find you entertaining so we keep responding. :lol:

    The one I love the best is..."I'm a moderate." I also enjoy..."I know myself better than anyone else."

    You should take over for Leno and Conan...especially since NBC is so moderate. :lol:

    I didn't hear Bush call out MSNBC but heard Obama call out FOX. That disturbs me and I believe illustrates the left's desire to silence their critics. Even if you hate FOX, you have to admit that's a pretty scary approach by the liberals. So much for the party claiming to promote rights.

    Speaking of hypocrisy...Harry Reid's comments?...this Congress slamming Republicans for ethics yet making excuses for their own party?

    Is there hypocrisy on the right?...sure
    Is there hypocrisy on the left?...stupid question as you can't be a card carrying liberal without it :thumb:

    Who's the biggest hypocrite?
    Left?...NO
    Right?...NO
    Middle?...NO

    Q: Who then?
    A: Liberals who pretend to be moderates. :hihi:

    I put MSNBC and Fox in about the same category. Both are slanted, just in oppisite directions

    I think ABC, NBC, and CBS, get pounded as being liberal so much, folks take it as fact.

    For example, conservatives point out the CBS/Bush AWOL deal as proof. They convienently ignore how the mainstream media reported negative stories on Clinton when he was president.

    Ok, I can agree with that.
    I disagree, there are some folks out there that are busy with their lives and or don't pay attention to politics.
    I would argue that they watch the nightly news and probably have no clue that those networks lean one way or the other.
    No, I disagree here.
    The Bush story was a fabricated story made up by Dan Rather and CBS news.
    Examples of bias of some of the networks mentioned here.
    Obama's overseas trip during campaign versus the other side.
    Lack or no reporting on the John Edwards affair.
    Lack or no reporting of the hacked emails about global warming hoax.

    About Clinton.
    The news always reports negative news stories about anything period.
    They might have reported negative news stories on Clinton but that doesn't mean that they aren't bias against Republicans and their agenda for the country versus the left.
    Heck, look how the media tried to destroy Sarah Palin, her background and how they totally ignored Obama's past and background.

    Whenever someone changes the subject to criticizing me , then I know they have exhausted their logic and lost the argument.

    If you're a hypocrite for defending Reid when you called for Lott's head,(liberals) then you're a hypocrite when you defended Lott and called for Reids head (Conservatives)

    The majority of politcians and commentators are hypocrites, unfortuantely, and neither side has the advantage.
