That's only if you've only viewed the doctored by NBC tape. Are you just messing around here? You've got to stop listening to Angrier Mitchell.

NO news source should do this...amen !!!

Cable television sucks relative to getting NEWS !!!! Read, Read, Read....do not allow others to make up your mind for you !

I am just shocked beyond words that so many posters on this forum watch MSNBC and Jon Stewart.

Looking at the ratings those you speak of may be the grand total !!!

Jon Stewert rocks!!!!
And you could add the IQ's of Hannity & Van Sustern and O'Reilly and still not get close to that of Rachel Maddow.

I admit to watching MSNBC from time to time but the link came from The Huffington Post. Don't watch Stewart.

janmcn: The only reason I knew about thr MSNBC incident was from a report from the internet. So perhaps many of the posters here also found out from another source

Turn off the tv and read newspapers, follow up on what you read, validate it all and do not allow the talking heads to tell you what you think...they ALL bend the truth to where they want the story to go.

Having said that...I am about half way through the new book "CRONKITE" by Douglas Brinkley....it is actually a great history told through the prism of Conkrite's career !!!! Just a suggestion

That is a good suggestion, Bucco. I was trying to explain to some of my liberal friends that they need to verify some of the hogwash they take as "fact" from bloggers and the MSM. But it is like talking to a wall sometimes. They swear that what Jon Stewart says is the Gospel.

as I mentioned in another post can some participants EVER offer a personal opinion instead of always, ALWAYS referring to what they think some one else did that they THINK is similar and use that to side step the issue.

How about real, first person, non retro, blame some others PERSONAL opinion on the issue being addressed? Parroting is not a first person opinion no matte how it is cut!

Jon Stewart, Bill Mahr....wow...these comics are getting rich of these people.

IT does not bode well for this country....NOBODY cares about truth,and I am sure as a journalist you understand, NOBODY cares about checking on FACTS before committing a post and on here what amazes me...when confronted with facts, you do not get an apology...you get a snide remark and off they go to another read to demean whomever.

I am sure you recall the days before all this clap trap on tv, when to be informed you had to read, check and compare...that is how you made your decisions. No negative ads being pumped at you...simply candidate telling you the voter how they see our situation and offering their solutions. Where character counted and was not discounted.

You, as someone in journalism would love Cronkite.....great book and it shows his warts as well as his good points.

dalemn - watch your spelling - that should be rachael madcow!

seriously, i have tried very hard to watch her show - but her commentary makes me physically nauseous! i cannot put my finger on just why she and i do not get along - i love other people's opinion and learn much from those opinions [though i don't always agree with them] - but rachael turns my stomach!

I am an independent, and neither conservative nor liberal. I have never voted a straight repub or demo ticket, and will not this year. Some of my views would be considered conservative and others liberal. Most people tend to view any opinion, or even fact, as an outrageous lie, if it disagrees with their ideology. The fact is, in my opinion, that both sides of the spectrum are equal opportunity liars and manipulators of fact. If you think the other side is the sole purveyor of untruth and deceit, you are probably out of touch with reality. I get a kick out of forums like this in their predictability - I can predict with almost 100% certainty how most posters will react to a given subject. An open and broad mind is a very rare commodity.
