Outrage is far more important than the truth to conservatives, says the liberal as he calls them out for racism.

Wow, hypocrisy much?

Yep he nailed it. On a side note I cant stand the one guy who was reading his marching orders from the RNC. He is weasel of a tea party type.

How can you say that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was spouting RNC talking points?

Are you denying that I just saw her on Fox?

She has never uttered a Conservative view point ever.

What are you accusing Fox of, by having her as a guest?

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?

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.

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.

don't put words in my mouth, I did not say the above...

Faux spews has some dumb ass dem broad on for a few minutes and the they laugh at every thing she says and go back to the RNC spin cycle...

Do the math, you give a den five minutes, in a day how much time is that???? 0.3% of their 24 hour day. Fair and BALANCED???????

When they spend a tenth of the time reading DNC talking points without joking about them, let me know.

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.
