And Judge Napolitano and Stossel are dead nuts on. Watch them and learn.


Hey I got some Ocean Front property in Arizona, I would love too sell you!

Fear is not learning, If I know one thing that is that all of them lie(NBC,ABC,CNN,FOX,CBS) to push their agenda.....

All of them are ran by the same people, rich and powerful.....the same people that run our country......strange aye???

The sheep flock in heards to Fox, cause if there is one thing in life that has stood the test of time, its FEAR! and people eat it up like a fat kid loves cake

Your thanking God because you like other liars??? lol this is why we have a problems in USA.... All of them suck and I don't watch any of them, that's the right thing to do! You know how you can tell the lairs?? if they have something to gain(books,TV Ratings), 95% of the time they are liying, little food for thought for ya!

Now watch, every night everyone of them try to plug their book at then end of their show! Why???? Why does bill o'reilly every night tell us he's #1 in ratings??? WAKE THE **** UP!

The left is just as bad....their a little more subtle about it though. If your going to lie atleast be good at it and not so blunt like Fox.

Of course not, but they've all been vociferous in their criticisms of Obama and the Democrats.

Oh, they're too far to the right for you? Look, I can admit I look at things through right leaning eyes but I can't for a minute look at those guys as anything but anti-republican. Which one of them do you think doesn't vote democrat the vast majority of the time?

I think he's saying that they're not mere "DNC operatives" given that they regularly criticize Obama and the Dems.

(Just because you don't fall in line with one party doesn't mean you must be on the other side -- e.g., too far to the right)

Dems criticizing dems, or pubs criticizing pubs, while still pimping the political agenda of their "side" isn't an example of impartiality though. If they were criticizing a position, while agreeing with the opposing party, then sure, I'd buy what some of you are selling. That's really not the case though. When a pol/party passes a legislation that embodies their agenda, and some in the press "criticize" it because it didn't embody more of their agenda, it's not impartial. For example, if I say "people criticized BOOOSH on Iraq in Fox" what good is that statement if the criticism was about troop levels, as opposed to the wisdom of invasion as a whole? So diehard leftists/rightists anchors on a station criticizing a lefty/righty pol for not being left/right enough, isn't really the type of criticism that points to unbiased, non agenda driven, impartial reporting.

I don't think anybody claimed they're impartial.

I love Fox for their counterpoint. Its not that I agree to anything in particular that any of their commentators say. I just love that they are out there saying it. Its an embrace of the first ammendment. They have the guts to go out there every day and piss all over NBC, the New York Times, and the other media. That is the definition of fair and balanced. Not what they say, but the fact they say it in opposition to the progressive traditional media.

I do faithfully watch the Judge every night at 8.


Fox Business. Judge Napolitano. Freedom Watch.

O'Reilly is a neocon and out of touch. Change the channel and learn.

Social Scientist Sees Bias Within

Quote:
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. - Matthew 7:3-5
