It was you, for whatever reason, that brought up MSNBC.
What is your obsession with it? I have never watched it and have no interest in watching it.
I have already mentioned you canwatch/read pick many other media NOT fox or msnbc.
You can compare them all you want, they are both biased.
When the owner of Fox admits openly that his networks follow a specific agenda, then why should I believe his networks are unbiased?

Also, I have seen many videos of Fox. They treat their viewers like mentally handicapped people. "Let me google what czar means".

A neutral network would not support a war, it would give you the facts and details of it, but would not openly support it.
Maybe its an american thing that media is not neutral anymore. Quite sad.

You might as well ask a black person that you know. I am sure he or she will explain it to you.
Oh so its only racist if a white person uses it. It has a different meaning when a black person uses it.



Thanks for proving my point

Its like me saying you cant call me a honky while I call my brother one. I dont use words and then think someone else can't use them.

If you want news, listen to BBC. If you want political entertainment and mind-candy, then watch MSNBC or Fox.

Thanks for your honesty. At least you know they are biased and you can deal with it. I wish people on both sides of the political spectrum would say the same about their favourite "news" channels.

Be proud, Tea Baggers. Family values, patriotism, compassion: all missing.

Bigotry, racism, hatred: all present and accounted for.

Actually, a link from MSNBC was posted before I mentioned that station (post #31).

As I said, going by actual studies and data, Fox News is less biased (and less likely to "follow a specific agenda") than the other two.

I never said Fox News is unbiased... just less so than the other two (CNN and MSNBC). Hope that answers your questions.

Because White pride was birthed out of dislike for minority groups' pride. It is a negative reaction to diversity. It is not a response to oppression and prejudice like it is with minority groups.

I don't think that's fair, meson. I'm not a tea party member. However, I don't think you can paint all tea party members in a negative light simply because of a few obnoxious protestors. These protests always bring out the nuts. The most extreme of the extremes. I know...I live near D.C. There are thousands of tea party folks who are sitting at home in front of their televisions who are just as disgusted by that behavior as you are.

Part of the problem in this country is that people feel like what they see on television represents real life. It doesn't. There are rational, educated liberals and rational educated conservatives. But they don't make good T.V., do they?

What a mindset.

1. Deny it ever happened.

2. Dismiss the news sources as liberally-biased.

3. When Fox News reports that it did happen, blame it on "embedded leftists".


Unreal.
