Isn't it interesting that anything anyone says anytime that is counter to the left wing democrat lame stream media talking head pundits they are labeled with derogatory disparaging false senseless innuendo so as to marginalize their position and belief's. . . . .
Sorry, talking and thinking like Keith Olbermann overloads the brain.
I don't know how anyone can believe anything your "news media" reports, because unlike Canada where it is illegal, your media can report opinion as news.
It's interesting how some of you can't defend Fox News's slogan, so you have to lash out at every other network.
There is no other news network that, during commentary shows, include so many of both sides of an issue.
The commentators do not claim to be unbiased, but they claim to present both sides of the argument diligently. Your favorite networks don't come close!
Yawn.
There are no American unbiased TV news stations, newspapers, or radio stations. They all report opinion as fact. They all refuse to report anything having to do with reality; i.e., the radiation from the Fukashima reactors, the 'bank runs' in Greece and Spain, the economic factors and impacts of laws, from Ford investing taxpayer bailout money in China to the Chinese being given access to American debt through the Federal Reserve.
The whole purpose of the so-called news media is to keep the public hyper-emotionalized over things that don't matter or to polarize them on personalities instead of facts. That goes for all of them; the "fair and balanced" Fox - which isn't - or CNN, CNBC, ABC, MSNBC.
But - it isn't really their fault that they think John Q. is a mouthbreathing, emotionalized, drama-queen-inspired idiot. Their ratings prove what sells - not in-depth coverage of the causes of unemployment, not long and involved comparisons of Keynesian vs Austrian economics, not discussions of the impacts of Chernobyl vs Fukashima vs the Gulf oil spill on food resources and human consumption. When you viewers, in the main, consist of people who argue in real time with their 400 "friends" on Facebook about who is going to be the next one to get voted off of Survivor or go on to the finals of American Idol, you have to cater to your largest demographic... those selfsame mouthbreathers, who are bored by facts and who flip the channel the minute they see graphs and pie charts.
The American public wants, needs, the brainless mind-pap they are fed; they want and need the emotionalized arguments presented by Chris Mathews and Glen Beck, they demand the endless arguments about LiLo or Treyvon, they live their lives around which celebrity slugged which grocery-store magazine's paparazzi this week and called it "winning". They no more care about 'economic impacts' or socioeconomic deconstruction than they are aware that there are such things.
Don't shoot the messenger, just because he screams the messages that everyone demands to hear, to justify their own beliefs and self-satisfied claims that they are the ones with the real inside story.
I'm actually fine with it-- I just wish Fox would come out and be more honest about what they are doing... as if anyone truly believes they are fair and balanced.
Fair and Balanced...should we sue for false advertising?

Someone needs to tell the truth about this presidency. Please tell me which of those facts are not true.
