It won't matter to the faithful. Outrage is far more important than facts. Who cares about truth when they can remain mad and frightened by that scary black guy in the White House?
Outrage is far more important than the truth to conservatives, says the liberal as he calls them out for racism.
Another grand slam from Stewart He hits everything from pointing out Willard's hypocrisy on Santorum using "dirty tricks" to faux news' propaganda talking points as of late spread by their masters. (shockingly the same spread here on CD by the extreme right goons,..)
I don't know why concerns with unemployment, the deficit, and higher gas prices are bad? Obviously they have a right slant, but are all three of those things not actual issues? Would you rather have news address the issues (even with bias) or ignore them completely?
There can be a discussion about them, they are concerns. However, it's rather bad when some one can stand up and show a memo that tells their "News Network" to bang this like a nail in order to harm the re-election chances of a political opponent. It ruins the credibility of the network and the people there (not like it had much credibility left) as well as taints unbiased discussions about the subject who is connected with it.
While people differ on opinions, you don't go out of your way to trust people who are openly trying to manipulate you to the decision that benefits them the most. I certainly don't go to stores that would have the advertisement "We're going to get you into the most expensive F'ing thing here no matter if it is good for you or not you lazy s**t...but we will tell you we are unbiased and honest when you talk to us"...so why do it with your news source?

Wow, hypocrisy much?
Never visited a birfer thread? FYI, the gloves came off long ago, it isn't about whether Obama was born in America, it is that the founding fathers didn't foresee a n****r being president.

Tell us that MSNBC is straight down the line and un-biased.
But, it doesn't ALWAYS happen that way. There are plenty of real issues that if they negatively impact the Left, won't get talked about at all by MSNBC and the like.
I agree with you 100%. However, I am sure the same can be said of the right, but I do think it happens more often on the left.

Well, I think you are right and it is a major problem with the news. I think MSNBC and FNC are both extremely biased in about 90-95% of their newscasts, however, the point still holds water (I think at least) that when both sides talk about it, it is obviously an issue.
Haha. Gretchen Carlson's look and being called out at the end of the Stewart segment was classic. Really hard to tell if it if it was coincidence but...haha, I'll be laughing about that one for awhile.
