I'm home watching all the cable news channels this afternoon. They are all reporting the same stories: bus crash video, Sherrif Arpaio, story about a rescue of dogs from a dog fighting organization in Georgia, health care, the H1N1 epidemic and having to turn patients away from er's. 17 yr. old pilot crashes his plane and walks away unhurt. Yadda yadda............Now Rick Sanchez is doing his show w/Spanish title: Fotos de Deio w/Latin music in the background. But basically all the channels are doing the same stories. Now in the evening is when the 'opinion' shows begin airing. You'll get the slant for Obama on CNN, MSNBC, but a somewhat different pov on Fox. So there, let's just can all this crap about "Faux" News. They're all faux!

FauxNews actually lies in its "newscasts", not only in its entertainment shows. You can check MediaMatters for dozens of individual instances, though one off the top of my head is the crawl under Mark Foley's image, "D-FL"; they did the same thing with some other R in trouble, too. Please link to any lie Rachel Maddow, K Olbermann or Chris Matthews has uttered or conveyed.

Agreed MediaMatters is the same as NewsBusters. Biased!
There will never be an end to this argument.

Funny how people call unbiased sites rags, yet defend Glenn Beck or oxycontin addict Rush....rather disingenuous, but I guess its easier to listen to hatred and stupidity than research facts. Obama is the first intelligent man we have seen in 8 years, he speaks proper grammar, can think analytically after attending an Ivy League school, and doesn't wear a cowboy hat,lol.

I know, seeing as how MM big wigs admitted to being bought off with Clinton's money during her presidential race. Or was it that MM was founded and funded by the Clinton's? I forget, but you get the picture. One BIG ASS Progressive mouthpiece.

For one thing, Rush did seek treatment... others like Michael Jackson and Elvis did not. And Rush did it in time... before it did more harm.

Second, rush got addicted to that prescription drug not by choice. He didn't take it because he wanted to or for "kicks." It was for severe back pain. But I think every rational person knows that already.
