Never said nothing about repubs in this case. But in Colorado we did have some local repubs aligned with the movement. I really wouldn't use KKK membership against the Democrats that would be like the pot calling the kettle black. The Repubs have their own....

But just because he doesn't like Fox Noise does not a leftest make

So, that is Colorado. I bet there are democrats in that state that aligned with that movement, too. What does that mean? Democrats in the past were big into the KKK. Remember that Lincoln was a republican. Senator Byrd is or was a proud member of KKK in Virginia. No one party has a monopoly on racism or hate.
By the way...Show me a few lefttists who admire Fox News. I have never heard a socialist left-leaning democrat say anything good about Fox.

Yes but you don't have to be a socialist left-leaning democrat to bash Fox Noise.

Cologal, what part of FNC don't you like? Is it the fact that Republicans are actually allowed to speak and give an opposing side?

No I don't have a problem with that at all.....mainly it is the distortion.

Guest 06-22-2009 12:13 AM

Cologal, distortion???? In what way?? Have you watched the alphabets lately??

Lets start with "Fair and Balanced"...nothing could be further from the truth. Even your post states its where Republicans get to show an opposing view. How about EB Hill reporting that the fist pump Michelle Obama gives her husband is a terrorist sign. Not to mention Fox Noise calling the President Hussein Obama as well as Osama Obama.

When they do attempt to have a debate the opposition gets shouted down.

Yes I do tune into Fox Noise from time to time and this is what I have seen.
I'd rather watch The News Hour on PBS.

Fair minded people who don't want the New York Times influenced television news will go to Fox News to get an unbiased take. Fox News will have both democrats and republicans on their show ...where as the so-called cable news like CNN and msnbc will fill their studios with left-leaning bleeding heart liberals who see the world according to the socialist elite.
PBS should have been shut-down decades ago as it is a stain on the american taypayers.

I think you should read this article about Fox's Chief anchor man, Shepard Smith....He is so fair that he gets death threats from the extreme right:
Edit: He was just signed to a new 3 year contract.

Cologal, that's my point. FNC is the only place that Republicans get a fair chance to give their views. As for calling Obama, Osama Obama I don't know if anyone at FNC called him that or not, but I do know that Teddy Kennedy did, twice.

Guest 06-23-2009 08:33 AM

It is a simple slip of the tongue easily made because of the similarity
 
and as pointed out even done by the likes of Ted K......but seized opon as an overt act when the partisan blurrrrrr is applied.

If one does not believe the media is in a totally different mode than when Bush was POTUS, just simply take note of the amount of coverage given Obama.....daily and multiple times daily. And when was the last time any of the national letter name news media ever held Obama's feet to the fire for things he (Obama) said and promised but has now ignored or dis regarded.
Opinions can be expressed for either party or points of view....what is obvious to most any open minded human with a pulse is what is not said about what this current president does and does not do that have any negative connotation what so ever.

That will not last for ever.....even the apathetic Americans will tire of the daily shine him up keep him looking good no matter what media.

Could you provide a link to any article alleging that Kennedy called Obama that? I will search to see if I can find anything.

I really don't understand the comment that Fox is the only place Republicans can get their message out. I see Republican's on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and PBS being interviewed. I can't get anything on AM radio but Rush, Hannity and quite a few other conservative talkers. Glen Beck was on MSNBC or CNN until he moved to Fox.

Really haven't you seen the over the top screaming matches on Fox. I have watched quite a few....

You don't remember the fluff pieces on President Bush? EXAMPLES: Bush gets a hamburger with Vice President Cheney. Bush gets ice cream cones with his daughters. Bush goes golfing ..what a great swing he has.Bush takes Laura to New York for anniversary. Bush comes down to chat with reporters. Bush takes a midnight stroll through garden with Laura. etc. etc.
And Bush was always complaining about the news media. Also, Bush blamed everything that went wrong on Clinton.
Boy...do we have short memories........

I'm looking at the thread title, "I see David L. finally apologized".

Veered a bit off topic, eh??

Yep, it drifted to Fox News and political bias. I guess it is to be expected in a political forum. I did a little browsing into the archives and found it to be a common phenomenon. :shrug:

Cologal: wasn't very hard to find.
