Well, it was split in that it wasn't unanimous...
Also, it sounds like the diner patrons were laughing at that jackhole.

Would anyone expect anything less from Fox "News". Fair and Balanced my ass. I have to be honest, being home since mid-august I have watched my fair share of the tube, including the 3 news channels. While you may disagree it is fairly obvious that FOX news is the "fair and balanced" one out of the 3. Colmes is as liberal as they come and Cavuto gets into it with O'reilly all the time. MSNBC and CNN on the other hand, not so much. I can turn it to those 2 channels at ANY time of the day and they are bashing Mccain/Palin etc. Not that there isn't stuff or reason to bash but nonetheless. |

Fair, maybe. But incredibly unbalanced.

Like I said, you turn it to FOX Colmes is bashing whomever the Conservative guest is and I wouldn't call Neil Cavuto a huge conservative either. I have been watching FOX now since noon. Not one bad word whatsoever about Obama/Biden. They have been talking news around the world and the US since I turned it on. It is 2 pm and I will turn it to MSNBC and lets see how long it takes. WOW. I turn it their at approximately 2:03 and right now they have a host and a Obama campaign advisor bashing Mccain. 3 f-ing minutes. You call that bullshit fair? Open your eyes. |

I have yet to watch any news station that is without some sort of bias.

I am not saying their isn't a conservative slant on FOX, I am merely saying it isn't nearly as noticeable, or in other words/more tolerable than watching that crap on MSNBC. There is a reason why CNN is widely referred to as the Clinton News Network.
Colmes is there to keep Hanity honest. I watch it off and on and I would say he does a pretty good job. Someone please tell me who the hell keeps that prick Olbermann honest? I used to really like that guy on ESPN but now I don't think I would watch him even if he did go back.
Here is an excellent point on FOX being Fair and Balanced, at least more so than the other 2, Shep (Smith?) spent a solid 20 minutes making fun of Palin on her interview with Couric on CBS. Ok now let's be honest here guys. WHO on MSNBC would have the balls to make fun of Biden? Name 1 person. I'll wait patiently for an answer.

Ok now let's be honest here guys. WHO on MSNBC would have the balls to make fun of Biden? Name 1 person. I'll wait patiently for an answer. Cite for me one example where that "prick" Olbermann made an intentionally false statement. In fact, unlike the FOXtards, he is man enough to admit an error. Like a real journalist. He is biased, yes. He is also honest. The two are not mutually exclusive...but watching FOX would make you think they are. O'Reilly and Hannity, for example, are biased, but they are also fucking filthy liars. Everyone is biased to some extent. Not everyone is a deliberate liar. You oughta learn the difference. Joe Scarborough makes fun of Biden, btw. He's on MSNBC. And Shep Smith is joining a long and distinguished list of people who are fucking aghast at Palin's demonstration of moronism. Couric didn't ask her one unfair question. Not one. Almost anyone here could have answered each of her questions with relative ease. Unless of course you think that asking a VP candidate about reading materials or SCOTUS cases is "gotcha" journalism, in which case you belong in a totalitarian society, not in America. |
