OK, Fox shouldn't call themselves Fair and Balanced. But they are no worse than, say, MSNBC.

Have you watched Chris Mathews recently ? He's about as F&B as O'Reilly now. Remember how he used to fill every show with Plume-gate ? And he never mentioned it again once it wasn't who he wanted. Never mentioned it.

And after him comes Olberman who is so much further unbalanced than Hannity or O'Reilly it's not even funny. You liberals may not notice as you agree with him but he is, bar none, not even close, the biggest partisan hack ever.

The only thing to MSNBC's credit is that they do have a good Libertarian (Tucker Carlsson) on too

The people voted, they went for the Liberal Democrats BIG TIME, now they will have to live with what they got and what they deserve.

The liberals democrats all across America will now slither out from under their rocks and show their TRUE COLORS, they won't hold anything back.

The Liberal Democrats are the Nastiest, Jealous, Hateful, Biased Bastards on this planet.

You will soon see, Aunt Smiley Pelosi started acting up only hours after the polls closed.

You Got Em, Now Live With It.

STOP THE WAR NOW, BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW, F-CK IRAQ AND ALL THEIR PEOPLE, THEY HATE US.

I've never really watched Mathews; but he's Irish. So he can't be all bad. As to Keith Olberman, I say that when fury is called for, be furious. The buffoon in the White House has got us so far up the creek it'll take decades to get back to where we were. The media people who aren't furious about that are liars.

Well Furious Democrats to you are Partisan Republicans to you. All I'm trying to say is that the Liberals rip on Fox, Hannity and O'Reilly while celebrating those who are more partisan on their side.

If it's wrong for one side it's wrong for the other. And if it's OK for one side it's OK for the other.

Just because Olberman has called Bush monumentally stupid doesn't automatically permit Hannity or Limbaugh to pick someone on the left and call them monumentally stupid. It doesn't work that way. There has to be someone as monumentally stupid on the left for it to be proper and nobody on the left has even approached Bush's stupidity in decades. This isn't little league. There's no mercy rule.

This is what I think the "liberal" Democrats will do:

(1) Repeal the tax-cut for the richest top 1% American

(2) Reduce taxes for middle-class Americans

(3) Raise minimum wage for the lowest income Americans

(4) Restore college loans and aids for students

(5) Restore cuts in medical care for veterans

(6) Cut budget deficit and impose fiscal discipline

(7) Tighten up the borders and no amnesty for illegal aliens

(8) Shift resources from Iraq to Afghanistan/Pakistan to fight terrorists and capture Osama Bin Laden

(9) Restore ethics and integrity in government.

The fact that you're too blind to see Olberman's insane partisanship isn't my problem, it's yours. I don't deny that O'Reilly and Hannity are on the other side - the fact that you guys can't admit that Olberman is on the other side is pitiful.

The issue is polarization and politicization of every issue, it seems that everything has become political from that antics of the left coast to every media story. At one time, although there was always bias, there was at least an attempt to balance the news.. no more, we choose what we read based on our preference and what we want for the outcome. It has gotten worse look at Rush Limbaugh, Drudge, Raw Story and hinesight all express one side or the other.. the news is pretty much the same, I smile how the same news story is titled on different sites, Newsmax, Wapo, NYT, Washington times etc.

Nothing is fair and balanced any more, and the more the american folks understand it the better off they will be. The challenge is trying to find some middle ground or some modicum of what is the truth.
