Like the birthers, and extreme religious nuts, think Faux News is too left. Are you a birther?
WTF are you talking about?

Oh yes I do. Over the course of 18 years I lived in 3 different US states and several towns and cities. I still own a home in California.

How long have you spent in the UK or any other country?

Kind of a special blend of serial killer/cult leader/CEO look to them...????

Anybody who submits a post like the first one above has no business calling anyone else sheeple.

To base ones political opinion on looks has no credibility.

Do you think Pelosi, Reid, Shela Jackson, Rosa Delauro, Shumer, Hillary etc. are part of the beautiful people?

Quite a bit, thanks for asking!

Cheers!

But for the most part, MSNBC isn't across the board with a party agenda like Faux News, and they don't try in vain to portray themselves as 'Fair and Balanced'. Someone who watches MSNBC is far more likely to look at other news sources, form their own opinions, be more interested in figuring out what is the best solution for whatever issue. The typical Faux News viewer isn't interested in that, which explains why they get such high ratings even though the vast majority of the country thinks they are full of crap.

The 'us vs. them', devisive, hate filled propaganda they spew 24x7 attracts a hardcore following, and attracts people who are generally unstable and upset about their lives to begin with. It's a 'release', an 'outlet' for their anger...Every problem in the world, and thus their life, is because of some 'lib', if it wasn't for those damn 'libs' everything would be better!
Can you prove anything you've just posted or is this all unfounded opinion like I suspect? See, I feel exactly the same way you to but about all media, not just the ones that you nitpick to attack. You simply use bigotry against people who happen to believe differently from yourself and you do it by attacking Fox News.

FOX is basically an extension of the Republican Party, any investigation in their despicable practices in the U.S. will likely be intentionally delayed or blocked by Republicans.

Thats the danger of having a political party align itself with a massive propaganda outlet, they lose their objectivity.

It's like asking corrupt police officers to investigate their department

Thats funny, because Rachel Maddow does not fit that mold at all. Without pretense this woman takes a stab at genuine journalism, just because the right is a target rich environment for exposure does not mean she won't have Republicans on her show, if they have the guts to appear on it. She treats them with fairness and respect when they do appear (I've seen Pawlenty on her show).
