This is the problem with people blinded by hate, they start to judge people by normal things that happen.
Are you suggesting that I watch Fox News? You haven't been paying attention. I've been saying for two years that Fox is just as biased as any other news organization out there. The reason I mock liberals about other news stations is because liberals like to pretend that only Fox is biased...or, as someone said earlier, the other ones are "not as biased" as Fox News. Get your heads out of your backsides, libs. ALL OF THEM are biased, equally.

Take your own advice, have you ever once seen me say MSNBC Is not biased ?

Although, the argument that they are all biased equally is far fetched, you would have to measure their bias,and before that, formulate a way to calculate it. The after that, compare them

Im guessing, none of which you have done.

Update:

Almost forgot my point. Prank calls happen to all news network, you attacking MSNBC for it happening shows your own bias.

Bruce's website describes her as a "gay, pro-choice, gun-owning, pro-death penalty, Tea Party Independent conservative" who "worked on a number of Democratic campaigns in 1990s, including the 1992 Boxer and Feinstein Senate races and the Clinton for President campaign
The "right" doesnt seem to have as full a grasp on her as you claim.

I never addressed my post to you. You took it upon yourself to get butthurt when I put up a video in regards to the OP, NOT YOU, the OP, using MSNBC as their source. It's not all about you.

I agree with you. People have their head in the sand. Each and every News Outlet is bias, and anyone who says no, is a problem.

Some of them much more, I agree. And some are just plain damn mean as can be. Liberals need to be called out on certain situations, because they think their chit don't stink. There way does not make it so.

They twist and they turn around a situation as does our President, to suit their own agenda.

They cannot get their heads out of their backsides, they are too far gone.

The way to understand MSNBC is to know that they are on the wrong side of any issue.

Your second response was addressed to me though, and the OP never claimed MSNBC was unbiased either. Nor does any bias of MSNBC play into the point being argued by the OP. He is saying that MSNBC seems to be against the Air strikes

You are just digging a deeper hole.

This can go for all the news channels, but IMO, msNBC especially. Look at their coverage of treyvon martin, ferguson, etc. They used these people as pawns and intentionally created race wars / divide in our country where none existed. All just to drive ratings. The news is less in the 'reporting news' business and more in the 'generating news' business.

An very small example of the fall-out from all that? I am always one to step in and help when people need it, even if it could lead to confrontation for me. Last week, I was on a crowded subway in nyc. Long story short, a black woman and black guy got into a long drawn out confrontation that turned physical.
My whole life, I always would have stepped in for this lady. But even all the other black people were just moving out of the way, doing nothing to stop what was going on.
After reading and hearing of this us vs. Them mentality that has developed, I said to myself, 'not my business, let them handle it.' Never in my life have I thought along those lines. But after hearing about this great racial divide for the last two years, it made me think in terms of race.

The above is the problem with this country summed up in one post. No empathy.


Im not saying you dont have a right to your opinion, but you seem to be arguing that the death of a child at the hands of a police officer and a neighborhood watchman are not news worthy. And that by reporting them, they arent reporting the "news", but simply creating a deeper racial divide ?

Sweeping things under the rug and not hearing about them isnt the same as them not happening. And speaking about them shouldnt cause a racial divide, but they do because many people seem to not be willing to face reality.
