    Fair and balanced, eh?

    NOT SO FAST! Sure seems like Murdoch and co. are trying to pimp Guiliani.

    This is not very surprising.

    No it's not, but I certainly enjoy putting this kind of stuff in front of the supporters of Faux News.

    Honestly, as bad of a news source as CNN (and others) is, it is a million times more "fair and balanced" than Fox. Unfortunately, all MSM sources are corrupt. But at least CNN has independent minded people (Dobbs, Cafferty) in key spots, where they rail against major Reps and Dems alike.

    You obviously seldom don't turn your dial to Fox News.
    And your original post is not surprising to me either as all powerful folks will have a candidate they support just like us common folk.

    I admit, I usually would not watch a news channel at all, because I think they are all full of $hit. But, in the election cycle, I've been watching all of them. I'd say that MSNBC isn't too impressive, FOX is AWFUL, and CNN is pretty pathetic but by far the best of the three. There is 1 other station that I forget about, but it's not so great either. Basically, I'd say that CNN is the premier source for TV news, and of course that is not saying much. :icon_wink:

    I go for the completely biased. I suggest you all do the same. Its so much easier to sift through bias when it is clear and up front than when it pretends to be "balanced". It isn't balanced so you might as well get it from a source willing to disclose their bias.

    As a die-hard right wing nut-case, I'm no fan of Fox News. I used to watch a fair amount in college...I can barely stomach it now. Not that CNN is much better...in fact, I don't watch much news at all anymore.

    I actually must admit I watch FOX and CNN. I want to know what "the enemy" is spinning and basically up to during the week. :icon_wink:

    Re: Fair and balanced, eh?

    I dont watch news anymore because it has become too infotainment for me. I remember one time I was running in the gym and they had Fox News on, and I swear to you they talked about Britney Spears for an hour. Sad thing is most Americans would rather hear about her failings as a mother and a person than actually hear about what is going on politically in our country.

    Not to mention, Dog being on TV for saying the N word lately. Holy Crap, give this guy a break, he is obviously dumb as a doorknob. Dog said he thought he could say that word because he always saw himself as a "brother from a different mother of another color" or something. Dog, only white people say stupid things like that, which means no you cannot say the N word.
