Do you think Wolf Blitzer is for Obama? I think Wolf is for Wolf. He hasn't shown a preference for a candidate. He just wants the "Exclusive". But I guess if you aren't in the tank for McCain you must be a lefty. What exactly has CNN done that makes you say that they are leftist? |

It's not an issue of "getting a sense of context". It's the fact that the "fair and balanced" news source gets their talking points fed to them straight from the White House. The main reason I posted that here is because "some" people persist in the delusion that Fox is "fair and balanced". It's not. Quote:
And I'm sure Fox will continue with this fine tradition (as you describe) when there is a Democrat in the Oval Office. NOT!!! ![]() You're trying to put lip-stick on the pig. It's still a pig. Quote:
Do they? How can you tell? Quote:
When it's the Republican White House, it's about "what's best for the country". Lying about what invading Iraq will be like? Good for the country. Firing DAs who don't fully back the Republican agenda? Good for the country. But the Democrat side of the coin? "dweebs, trolls and traitors"... ![]() Quote:
Do you really want to talk about who CNN supports? Or the reality of a couple of those other examples? And as for "They have Fox", I have NEVER seen a news crew entrenched in the White House like Fox is with the Bush regime. It's like trying to compare an apple orchard to a bushel of oranges. And I take it that you're refusal to disagree means that the ridiculous assertion that Fox is anywhere near fair or balanced is now put to bed? |

What you should be asking is why you are at odds with the government trying to keep your ass safe and maintaining your rights? Quote:
If the Presidential administration changes such that their talking points no longer represent our traditional values I would not expect Fox to use White House talking points. No, it's not. But if we are talking about romancing pigs, I'd say you are fellating the porker.

![]() And the other half of your mouth complains about how the "MSM" is biased towards liberal media... And what I'm REALLY seeing here (if we were to accept that premise to be true) is that you're just jealous that you can't get more of the "MSM" to cater to your political perspective... But as to why I see it as "strange" (as you put it), maybe you should review some of the classic literature which ponders the impact of having your "media" being fed to you by the government, instead of having it be a means of MONITORING the government... 1984 should do for starters... Quote:
![]() If only the truth lay along those lines... Instead, we have a government which tramples the rights of the American people behind their back, giving a freedom from prosecution for the people who helped them in their endeavors. We have a government which involved itself in Iraq under false pretenses, and the GOVERNMENT'S OWN RESEARCH admits that we have INCREASED the terrorist threat. Bhkad, what you should REALLY be asking is where is the wisdom in having such power in the hands of people with POLITICAL aspirations that are put above and beyond the best interests of the people. If the government is REALLY doing what's best for the people, LET THE MEDIA COME TO THAT CONCLUSION BY ITSELF. The fact that Fox News needs to be spoon-fed talking points demonstrates they need help convincing others of what you say... Quote:

Do you mean you and your fellow Republicans? Do I really need to give you a history lesson on what Fox News did / said regarding Clinton? And just out of curiousity, did you happen to remember if you spoke out against Fox News when they attacked him? |
