O'reilly is a trip. "We hope it's not true." Of course it's true. Imagine GE being in favor of Cap n trade. If they didn't keep the whole D and R game going there would be nothing to talk about.

I don't typically have much respect for anyone who watches either network.
B.S. You know nothing about me. How would I have known what Ed Schultz said if I were not watching MSNBC. Fox News does not take taxpayer money to air propaganda like NBC, CNBC & MSNBC. If I watch TV it is mainly CSPAN, BBC, Bloomberg & CNBC. I read to get most of my news.

CNN is the fairest. Fox hasn't completely sold out, at times they actually realize how a major news network should behave and maintain some journalistic standards.

Let me take a guess, have you ever even watched MSNBC? I'm sure the answer is no. They have two republican shows, legitimate GOP contributors, and have people from the right on all the time. The shows they have are very fair, and the only time you actually see any kind of lean is from the talking head shows, and even then they are shows for entertainment. Fox is a 24/7 propaganda network where every show leans hard to the right, and people look at their talking head shows as factual information.

Chris Wallace is pretty fair, so are the other news anchors on Fox. Yeah their talking heads can be just as obnoxious as MSNBC's(outside of Ed Schultz, that pompous windbag is in a class all by himself) but at least on election night and during primary/caucus night coverage those talking heads are kept away and the network handles the coverage like an actual news network should. It isn't some partisan sideshow like MSNBC's coverage.

I do watch MSNBC just to get a handle on what they are talking about but I can't watch during election nights anymore, it is unwatchable and in my mind has completely done away with any credibility MSNBC has as a news source.

Hey. If it bothers you so much, file a lawsuit against the Obama Administration. Knock yourself out, pal.

So what? He doesn't pretend to be an unbiased news anchor. Everybody knows what they're getting when they watch Chris Matthews. I don't understand your outrage.

Of course you don't get the fact that my tax dollars go to a media channel to pay them to lie to me. Obama is circumventing campaign finance restrictions. You must be a communist that praises Russian Pravda.

I never under this arguement. It is well known, MSNBC leans to the left and Fox news leans to the right. Why do people try to prove who is more balanced? I'm a Democrat, if I want to watch politcal news, I will watch Msnbc, and if I was a republican, I would watch Fox news. What is so wrong about that? As long as you know what side each station is on, I see no reason to rip the other side. I know that Democrats and Republicans can't agree on anything, but I atleast thought we could have common ground on this issue.
