| Yeah and Ann Coulter was making fun of homosexuals, not John Edwards...if he got upset he's just being a big baby it was a terrorist joke on Obama's name and probably skin color that he spinned out of after (he's the chairman for the spin network for a reason) with such a ridiculous complaint...anyone who thinks thats NOT insulting to Obama in a very vicious way is being a troll or an idiot I read it, in context, without anyone's opinion, and thought it was the old conservative knock on Obama's name/skin color they've been doing forever, its really a pathetic insult Wow, so he may have been joking about a president who jokes about his own intellectual skills...really, terrible stuff...whens the last time Obama cracked a joke that he's possibly a terrorist...anyone? | ||||

| Right-wing stories: WAR: DEMS PULL OUT OF FOXNEWS DEBATE... Edwards Campaign: 'FOX NEWS has already proven they have no intention of providing 'fair and balanced' coverage of any Democrat in this election'... 'GRINGO, GO HOME!' Congressman berates 'war mother' over war funding, later apologizes... VIDEO... Immigration Agents Raid Ariz. Company... OBAMA TRUMPETS A FORAY INTO NEW YORK FOR MONEY... McCain: Keep 2008 spotlight off gossip... Suspected 'D.C. Madam' Pleads Not Guilty... Calif. high school students 'openly smoking medical marijuana in class'... DC Gun Ban struck down by Federal Appeals Court... President Bush Denies U.S. Neglects Neighbors... Smoker sued for lighting up in her outdoor garden... Mayan Priests to Purify Site After Bush Visit... Czech President Says 'Environmentalism is a Religion'... So we have those right wing article links, what do we have that a liberal would possible look at? FBI 'MISUSED PATRIOT ACT' REPUBLICAN LEADER 'FORCED TO SMOKE AT DEM CLUB'... Wow, two stories...one of them making the GOP leader look to be a nice guy, and the FBI story one thats covered everywhere and gets one line Yeah, NO BIAS there...not to mention he keeps his contacts almost exclusively with far right sources, tries to have sex with other homosexual conservatives, and only good female friend he has is ann coulter | ||||

| This thread has convinced me thast with the way liberals bitch about a news media with a conservative slant expect all news media to be liberally slanted and can't stand it when one is conservative based. With the overwhelming liberal media out there, you'd think they can afford to let a news media be conservative, especially if they truly cared about free speech. The only way to be fair and balanced these days is to allow some news media to be conserfvative, since they don't give a damn about liberal bias. In truth, there should be no media bias period, but both sides seems to think it's okay only for their side to be biased and the other side to not. It's bullshit. News media should have no bias at all save for opinion pieces and talk shows that are for expressing opinions. Last edited by Diamond Cross; 03-10-2007 at 11:52 PM. | ||||

Personally I like AP/Reuters though. I prefer their stories of the other mainstream written press.

He has a decent argument there in my opinion. I would agree with that to an extent. | ||||

| There is no way anything good would have came out of it, and the Chairman of Fox proved it by making terrorist jokes about Obama
Go to 4:00+ or before or after...doesn't matter...he starts with the usual right jokes about france or britney spears...then he makes a swipe about Hillary being pushed on the road so Bill can have fun by himself, and right after that about Obama being a terrorist, then right after that he gets serious about left-wing groups challenging fox...thats your context
Ok so Edwards is Stalinist...their "moderate" program on the weeks political developments has them call John Edwards, the leading candidate in Iowa under most polls...Stalinist...probably the greatest mass murderer in History Fair and Balanced | ||||||||||

They were both 100% serious and had real on hands control of news content, not just corporate management. You think the Fox Chairman has the time or inclination to micromanage Fox News? | ||||

| And by the way the Edwards comment was that groups like Moveon.org and Daily Kos were acting like "Jr. Grade Stalinists" in the intimidation of candidates not to take part in a Fox News Forum. Not that Edwards was a Stalanist and it had nothing to do with mass murder but with political censorship. | ||||
