Changing the discussion? We've been talking about the free health care clinics for the past few posts

Unlike you, I am perfectly content with Fox News (MSNBC or CNN) raising money for free health care clinics. If you disagree that is cool, you have every right to be against free clinics

Needless to say, sending people like Sean Hannity to "cover" Tea Day protests isn't in the same realm of having Keith Olbermann ask his viewers to contribute money for free health care clinics

It's Olberman Maddow and MSNBC opening them to apply pressure to forward an agenda. They say as much in their own words.
Thank you again for illustrating the hypocrisy of two media outlets doing the same thing, but only being OK with the one doing it whose agenda you agree with.
Try and follow along.
Thanks again

How can someone that relies on and sings the praises of a media outlet that has proven to be biased and not a legit journalistic outlet that provides balanced coverage, ever understand what real news is? Are you allergic to bona fide news?. What other outlets do you rely on for genuine journalism? What newspaper or publications do you read? Will you answer as Sarah palin did and exclaim...."all of 'em!"?

If you're unwilling to have a discussion about news outlets raising money for free clinics then stop posting. If you want to have a discussion then do it.

You have still yet to respond to the differences of raising money for free clinics versus sending right wing commentators to cover the conservative tea bagger protests. Time for the back pedal!

Thanks for trying and thanks for failing

Start a new thread on it, maybe I'll join and own you like I did on this one, but for now, this thread is titled "Why Fox News isn't news"
Thanks again

A new thread when the discussion of Fox News sending right wing conservatives to tea bagger parties versus MSNBC raising money for free clinics is on this thread? Its ok if you are incapable of having that discussion because the facts are antithetical to your opinion

Pot Kettle Black
Time for you to start peddling back

Thanks for trying and thanks for failing

LOL!!! CNN, MSNBC, is there a difference? Throw in CBS, NBC, ABC. All the same.

It's really funny to hear clips from the different channels and their various "reporters" or "anchors"; their comments are often word for word identical! What a laugh. Now, you tell me who's "entertainment" and not news? The rest are the clowns. They don't even practice journalism anymore. I doubt they even know what it is.

-Drudge is good to scan over headlines and it has links to lots more.
-Financial Times is excellent in their foreign and business news.

Where FOX crosses the line is that they have gone from being a reporter of news to a maker of news.
Care to explain that? Sounds a little like your accusing them of what Dan Rather did to Bush. I know they don't make up stories.

Got any documentation of this? To the best of my knowledge (and I have been following this movement since last winter, Fox, nor anyone involved in Fox has organized even ONE protest.

Because someone at Fox talks about it, doesn't make them an "organizer". These were all independently organized by groups across America.

If you have proof that Fox was involved in any of them, post it. Since you didn't, I don't think you have any.

Nice try. I don't buy it, and your credibility just took a dive.

Again. Proof? The only people I know of that employed "professional protestors" was ACORN when they took people into the neighborhoods of executives from Wall Street firms. Where is you proof? I don't think you have any.

It's all right wing Bull****.
Oh, you mean like Daily Kos, and all the other left wing so-called "news" blogs, and the so-called "mainstream" press who, apparently, don't have a "point of view"? Right. Do you think we're stupid? CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS NBC. They all get the Democrat talking points. And there is proof of this out there.

Oh, yeah? I'd love to see those. Like the video of the CNN chick (I thing she was from CNN) that later got fired, who "reported" from Austin, TX? You mean videos like that? Of course she didnt' have a "point of view". She was only "reporting". Un huh.

That sounds very "American" and pro "free speech". Doesn't it?

Are you an American? I'm not sure. You sound like you are very much against America and freedom. You do not seem to like that others have the liberty to voice their opinion.
