anyone know how long glenn beck has been on CNN?
Did anybody see a show on Fox yesterday, Heartland with John Kasich, where he interviewed/read emails to the great Ann Coulter? I watch the channel occasionally for s and giggles, I see it as the Conservative answer to the Daily Show with John Stewart.(It is supposed to be a joke, right?)
Anyway, I was flipping through and saw that Coulter would be on, a moment too good to let pass. She is their best comedian, though, like some of the greats, she has a tendency to go too far. Well, Kasich showed, with remarkable neutrality, a little of his views when he answered Ann by saying, and I am para-phrasing since I wasnt able to find a transcript yet, "I have battled a fair share of liberals in my lifetime as well, Ann."
I just thought I would share another example of Fox being "fair and balanced."
anyone know how long glenn beck has been on CNN?
About a month now. Good show.
It's one against every other station on my TV.
Libs always whine about Fox being fair and balanced.
Meanwhile, you've got the liberal mouthpieces of the left broadcasting on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC.
What a horror, one whole news network that is not slanted to the left
myth i said
Its not a matter of one not being slanted to the left, its about this one being so biasedythat it single-handedly makes up for all other networks. It alone tips the scales.
Fox news says it is "fair and balanced," yet a shows anchor claims to have fought as many liberals as his guest Coulter. That is sick. It is not journalism.
How does it tip the scales when it's going up against five networks biased to the left? We're not talking a slight bias, we're talking full blown hatred of anything Bush and anything Republican.Its not a matter of one not being slanted to the left, its about this one being so biasedythat it single-handedly makes up for all other networks. It alone tips the scales.
Convenient that you fail to mention that he has a counterpart on the show who is as far to the left (Colmes) as he is to the right. They *wait for it* balance each other out.Fox news says it is "fair and balanced," yet a shows anchor claims to have fought as many liberals as his guest Coulter. That is sick. It is not journalism.
Call me the day CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC put conservative counters behind the desk to balance out their liberal anchors and reporters. Until then, STFU.
lol, man youre clever. You caught me! Dude, Kasich works alone, thats Hannity and Colmes, not Hannity and Kasich.
Good old balanced Kasich, keeping up the good war with the Liberals.
And no, the other news outlets are not as biased. I was a stead-fast conservative who voted for Bush, and even had a damned sticker on my car and backpack until I ripped them both off a year ago. And even then, when I was a Bush nut, I couldnt stomach Fox news, there is no real news, no real reporting.
The other media outlets may have moments of outrage against a president and his agenda.... , 70 percent of the bloody population does, she it would be biased if they didnt. But there is a huge difference in problems with a single group of politicians, and talking about your war against liberals. And do you know what the next segment was? An interview with Kurt Cameron, talking about how persecuted Christians are because a movie with Christian themes was raged PG over G....they debated scripture for 10 minutes.
This is not news, its entertainment. I thought that Steven Colbert was just an offshoot of Fox news, maybe a disgruntled old anchor.
It helps to read the post youre responding to...until you learn to do so....STFU.
Did you really type this with a straight face?And no, the other news outlets are not as biased.
CBS slandered Bush with the whole Dan Rather incident. CNN tries daily, even going so far as to prop up a communist anti-American Bush hater and loop his interview on the day that Zarqawi got capped.
You had them calling states in the 2000 election for the Democrats when people in those states were still voting. I could go on and on.
Sorry, all the liberal panties in a bunch rhetoric on this board tends to run together after a while.It helps to read the post youre responding to...until you learn to do so....STFU.
Look, if you think that the other 5 networks aren't as biased to the left as Fox is to the right, there's no point continuing the conversation.
Further, if Fox really pisses you off, change the ing channel dumbass.
i always find it funny that conservatives and people that lean right automatically think "left" when something isn't right. they are totally incapable of thinking outside of the box. it's black and white, right and wrong, good and evil to them.
You think thets bad, CBF
rememba when George Bush Sr sold a plethora of heavy artillery and military vehicles to Iraq then his entire 2nd campaign was based upon the idea that the world, and middle east, were a dangerous place?
You think thets bad CBF
rememba when George W. Bush ran his 2nd campaign on the same exact premise against the same exact people and still fooled all these mindless marriotts who have give human beings a bad name?
And actually WON??
Actually I'm more of a centrist. Some of my views are more liberal than others. Really the closest thing I have to a party these days is the libertarians.i always find it funny that conservatives and people that lean right automatically think "left" when something isn't right. they are totally incapable of thinking outside of the box. it's black and white, right and wrong, good and evil to them.
Neither the Republicans or the Democrats are doing up in D.C. except for ing up this country more every single day they go in to work. I don't see anyone on either side with half a brain (well, they have brains, those brains are just controlled by lobbyists on both sides of the aisle).
Take the current border situation - 80% of Americans, on both sides of the aisle, say it's time to secure our southern border and nip illegal immigration in the bud. And neither party wants to do the right thing about it, because they don't want to piss off their hispanic voting base. We're supposed to be a representative democracy, and no one up there will represent their ing cons uency because they're afraid of losing some votes this fall. ing lame.
That being said, it still cracks me up when libs whine about Fox News being slanted to the right. Like I said, the other five major news networks slant the other way, but you all get your panties in a ing bunch over Fox News saying something positive about the president or the Republican party.
Kinda lame if you ask me.
Aggie, a couple of minor details to point out.
1.) Yes, I can change the channel if Fox pisses me off...but then I would miss the trainwreck, and thats just not fun. But let me see, you managed to point out the other 5 news stations being veeerry liberal I believe. Hmm, where does this lead?
Im sure youve guessed.....right, here goes.
Why don't you "change the ing channel, dumbass?"
Heh, I love it when people make things easy for me. It would serve you well to not type things which can more easily be turned against yourself. It's a bad practice.
2.) Im not mad that Fox news said something good about republicans or Bush. For one, I'm sickened, not mad. And also, they didnt just say Bush did a good job, they didn't give the republicans a high five...a host told Ann Coulter that he has fought with as many Liberals as her in his lifetime.
3.) I never claimed that the other stations weren't biased, they may be. But when 70% of the country dislikes Bush and his actions then I would think biased reporting would be the one that makes him look good, I would imagine that would require a lot of slant. But the fact is that Fox has a header which says "Fair and Balanced." That puts a weight on their shoulders which they are blatantly shrugging off.
What we have to realize as a race is that human equality is a ing dream and will never be, and while we have every opportunity to be truthful and strong as a government, our false strives and promises of equality hinder us
Kasich is not a news anchor. He is a political commentator, and former nine-term Republican representative to Congress from Ohio. So he actually has battled many a liberal in his lifetime, and such a comment is not out of line on a political commentary show.
That said, of course FOX is slanted to the right. So? A study was done comparing the leanings of major media outlets to those of prominent ideological think tanks in 2003, and scores were assigned, 0 being the most conservative and 100 the most liberal. FOX News scored a 35.6. It was the only major media outlet studied to have a score below 50. ABC, NBC, CBS, the LAT, the NYT, and USA Today all are slanted to the left. ABC and NBC had scores in the 50's, so they might be considered moderate. CBS News scored 70, so if you want to consider FOX a mouthpiece for the RNC, then CBS News was similarly so for the DNC.
Of course, we already knew that (right, Mr. Rather?).
A deeper study later in 2003 showed that the closest thing to a "fair and balanced" newscast in the United States is the News Hour with Jim Lehrer.
Of course, we already knew that too.
Well, Im glad I heard from Extra Stout, we now have proof that there is no liberal media, and Fox does even out the scale. 1 veyr conservative, 1 very liberal, and a bunch of moderate networks. Throw that in with conservatives owning the radio...we may have a conservative bias.
Interesting.
You ing about a TV channel you keep watching is the same thing as someone saying similar channels are just as bad? When did AHF say he trolls through CNN, MSNBC et al so he can come on a messageboard and complain incessantly about it?
Nice job patting yourself on the back by the way. But if you just wait a few minutes mookie2001 or Cant_Be_Faded will come along and firmly attach themselves to your jock. Meanwhile Fox News enjoys double the ratings CNN does, maybe they're are doing something right?
Gerryatrics, or Xray, or whoever you are....read the entire post. I was quoting him when I said turn the channel. He told me to turn the channel if I was so disgusted by Fox, right after talking about how horrible Abc, Cbs, Cnn, and Nbc are. He wouldnt know these things unless he watched them, that is unless he just hears that they are liberal and takes that as the truth, which is even worse. And ing incessantly...I made one post about one comment. I do not regularly watch Fox news just to gripe....when nothing is on I put it on for a laugh. And actually, for the truth, I put it on to see why people say it is so bad. I do not like to take peoples word for things, so I check into it myself. I can hardly be faulted for doing so.
Pretty sure it says Gerryatrics over there on the left side of my post... yep, it's there. Funny you would question my reading comprehension.
Thank you, I realized that. That's why I asked how you ing was the same thing as him stating most news channels have some sort of bias.I was quoting him when I said turn the channel. He told me to turn the channel if I was so disgusted by Fox, right after talking about how horrible Abc, Cbs, Cnn, and Nbc are.
I can't speak for Aggie, but I personally know about CNN, MSNBC and the network news' biases from watching their programs in the past or watching their coverage of specific events. I don't feel the need to watch their programs for the sake of complaining about them. But that's just me.He wouldnt know these things unless he watched them, that is unless he just hears that they are liberal and takes that as the truth, which is even worse.
Odd, here I thought half of the posts in this thread were yours, and four or so of them mentioned John Kasich. Guess my counting skills are as bad as my reading skills. Again, I don't see the point of watching an opinion show and complaining because the host has an opinion, but that's just me.And ing incessantly...I made one post about one comment. I do not regularly watch Fox news just to gripe....when nothing is on I put it on for a laugh. And actually, for the truth, I put it on to see why people say it is so bad. I do not like to take peoples word for things, so I check into it myself. I can hardly be faulted for doing so.
Then what, pray tell, Mr. gerryatrics, is the point of everybody complaining about the "Liberal Media?" Is that not the same principle? I watch it so that I will know why people call it biased, and I saw something worthy of note. If you claim to not be able to speak for others, do not attempt to do so for me.
Liberals dominate print. Conservatives own radio. The TV networks are left-center, with CBS being the outlier way on the left, and FOX being the outlier on the right. PBS is right in the middle.
That's it in a nuts .
