'Dude do you even watch this station. On numerous occasions they have talked about people wanting to assassinate obama and they say it with smiles on their faces. They may not openly state, that they want Obama's head blown off, but if your not retarded you can see what they are implying.

Our country is so screwed. It is in TPTB's interests to have these corporate media outlets keep us fighting each other with this ridiculously petty and fabricated right and left ideologies. They keep pumping their talking points and canned message and the less well-informed keep eating it up, perpetuating the artificial rift.

One of the reasons Colbert/Stewart are so successful is that they recognize the ridiculousness of the MSMs message. They ridicule and satirize the MSMs' and political parties' ham-handed fabricated tripe, savaging it and exposing how utterly stupid it is.

The real issue is that you are getting screwed by TPTB, as has usually been the case in history. The corporate media and political system creates this false left-right model to distract you and keep you fighting one another. CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Huffington Post, Michael Savage, Rush, Hannity, Air America are all getting you to waste your time and energy fighting one another when you should be fighting TPTB for your freedom that they are taking one chip at a time.

Did you hear that a court in the NE ruled last week that you can be tased if you don't respond to a police officer's questions?? Enjoy your electrocutions. WAKE UP, FFS.

The media is all sucky, but there are differences in what they cover.

Fox tilts right and covers some stuff the others don't, and the the others (CBS, PBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC) all tilt left and cover things Fox won't.

As an example, here's an interesting new story on Fox News: The FBI is now reading "Miranda Rights" to Army Detainees in Afghanistan.

Obama promised in the campaign he wouldn't begin having the FBI reading Miranda rights to detainees on the battlefield, but now its happening.

FBI reads "rights" to POWs

From the leftist point of view, this story is obviously biased and unfair, because it has caught Obama in yet another blatant lie. The left-leaning media, like CNN or MSNBC or ABC or NBC or CBS or PBS, won't even bother with a news story like this because to them being "fair" and objective means they won't carry anything negative about President Obama---all their coverage of Obama MUST BE POSITIVE or the BOers will complain about "code words" and "smiling news commentators" and how horribly unfair it all is. :roll:

The thing most people don't get is that Obama isn't just screwing over right wingers. He is screwing over the left too with his policies (imprisonment without trial, warrantless spying, etc). Bush did the same, screwing all of us by eviscerating the 1st, 4th, 5th and 10th amendments. He did it to right-wingers just as much as left-wingers.

You guys need to quit being children over your truly miniscule left-right differences when ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS are systematically being taken away from you by two different administrations in a span of 10 years. Seriously, why in gods name are you fighting each other?? It makes zero sense. We obviously need to take back our government which continually takes away our rights on a daily basis now, no matter who is in power.

The left/right divide is a distraction, misdirection. It provides each side with an alibi, a scapegoat to explain why promises are broken, and why it's not their fault. What's amazing is why we haven't caught on yet! No matter how many times Lucy pulls that football away...

It exists because it's our only outlet. It exists because we're helpless passengers of empire who pretend every 4 years that we actually have a say in government. In reality, you can't get elected without money. You can't get money without corporations. Once elected, you can't forget who got you there.

The rich continue to get richer, our rights continue to evaporate. So yeah, we're screwed. Whether we go left or right, we're still headed for the falls.

They never will get it. We are preaching to stupid people. Stupid people can't be reached or reasoned with. Maybe we are also stupid for even trying, but damn it if we don't at least try to knock common sense into these left and right wing morons then we might as well give up hope for any semblance of freedom.

I don't especially like Fox news. In fact, I never watch Fox news, unless I'm travelling and its on cable when I'm channel surfing and the newscaster is pretty. I only watch PBS news here at home. I try to listen to Air America on the radio when I travel (we don't get it here in central Alaska).

However, I think its important to have a range of news coverage so the MSM isn't completely monolithic so I like having Fox there along with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc. 8)

From your statement, unfortunately I think you are limited by the shackles on your mind and cannot fully understand these ideas. I have quoted and used Fox News for citations in the past. I have also used left wing sources as well, when I deem them to be accurate enough.

It isn't as simple as "I don't like Fox". I might not like Bush, but he gave Texas the concealed carry law. I might not like LBJ for expanding the Vietnam War, but he gave us the Civil Rights laws. It isn't as cut and dry as you think. Just because I don't like Fox News for their biased presentation, doesn't mean that they don't serve a purpose for me.

Same as you, even though you are obviously biased, serve a purpose for good somewhere in the world as well. Learn to free your mind, and you will be able to effect good for all, not just a narrow niche by which you have defined yourself.

Conversely, Mos, with whom you and I spar, has ideas with which we disagree. However, I guarantee you that Mos effects some good on his environment. If you two could learn to work together for the good of all people, think about how limitless your power would be.

Because they do some good as compared with the other networks in that they are not a propoganda outlet for the current government.

Face it............if the media had done their Job, fair and balanced, Obama would never even got his own parties nomination. ( He is an unmitigated disaster!) Maybe, we would have even ended up with Ron Paul. Think what "Change" Paul would have brought to the country. You know........Fiscal responsibility, etc. etc.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AgentR', 'I')'m moved neither by CNN, nor Fox News... I'll tell you this though.

Fox is honest about who and what they are.
CNN is not.



Fox claims it is "fair and balanced" even though it is not only politically connected to the Republican party, but it is also part of the republican propaganda machine. They seriously distort everything that comes their way.

CNN, at least once upon a time actually was balanced (or tried to be), although in recent years it has followed Fox's lead down the rabbit hole of pushing BS.

You're so misinformed, unfortunately.

Obama got 5 times the political donations from financial companies than did McCain.

Answer me this question: Where was Obama on Thursday, June 4th, 2008?

They do not get to be there without meeting TPTB first.

He was in NJ. At Bilderberg. I can dig up the press corps articles about how they were had, flying around the country to events that didn't exist that night. I have to get some sleep now tho. Until tomorrow, night night.
