Now if only we could get Jon Stewart's Daily Show here in TV . . . that would really make it "fair and balanced"

Absolutely, and thank you for sticking to the topic! :coolsmiley:

I am curious as to how praise of the show is "on topic" while criticism is not? IMHO if you choose to get your "news" from either Fox news OR MSNBC, you are learning little, and simply feeding your biases.

Right after Bill Mahrer's show at the Savannah Center.

It's simple in that the praise was clearly about Fox & Friends, which was the topic of the thread, whereas the critics have been directing their criticisms toward the Sun which wasn't even mentioned in the topic and DEFINITELY NOT the focus of the topic of this thread!

As for the second part of your post, what does that statement have to do with anything I said in my post? I can't for the life of me think of any justifyable reason why you would even make such a comment? Fox & Friends is an entertainment program and not a news program any more than say Jon Stewart's show or Bill Mahrer's show is! And I made absolutely no mention of, attracks on or comments about either FoxNEWS or MSNBC!

bobcat1....they all are. There are always a few who need their daily fix of putting the R pegs and the D pegs in a certain hole.

Those of us without such a manacle enjoy more there is to offer.

I might agree with that but then again if you only watch CNN or network news you are in the same boat except with a different oar. And if you can't see and realize that then you are biased as well.

CNN and Network news are largely unbiased in my opinion, though there can be rare exceptions. The extreme right has long labled them as the "liberal media", in an attempt to legitimize thier biased viewpoint, and discredit any negative news that may come from those sources. It is one of the successful strategies promoted by unelected puppet masters such as Carl Rove and Roger Ailes. That's my opinion and I don't expect many will agree with me -- so be it.

Anyways.......
 
I'm just thrilled I will get to see TV on TV! Since we haven't made it out to TV yet, and my husband has a lot of questions still, this should be good for us to get motivated and on that plane to TV. I (almost) don't care who's broadcasting, could be The Cartoon Network!
