Gee Skippy,
First it was CNN, then CBS and now NBC as well 
Did you ever stop and think that maybe the problem isn't the mainstream media, but rather that you're just not in the mainstream?

Perhaps, but then explain to me why Foxnews blows away all the above networks in ratings? Its because folks are looking for balance in the news, and the other side of the story, the side the mainstream media fails to report. But some folks believe everything the mainstream media reports, and dont know the other side of the issues. And that's why Foxnews is kicking ass. And yes they are! The rating dont lie!  |

Because NBC and ABC are center little left, and the Communist News Network is more far left, in order to have "Fair and Balanced" News, Fox needs to be so FAR right in order to create anything resembling a balance...

Skippy, do you believe everything Bill O'Riley tells you?
FOX has good ratings because A) they've spent millions to pad their lineup with allstar talent and B) they've taken the tabloid format to new sensationalistic hights...feeding their viewers "FOX NEWS ALERTS" like little pieces of rock cocaine.
It has nothing to do with balance.

I do infact love how O'Reilly went from raving mad for us being at war to a month ago flopping over and saying we should get out.
Make up your minds you fruitloops?

Skippy, there's a long list of big name Repub's that have flipped.
The latest casualty...
Newt Gingrich
Gingrich at USD: Pull out of Iraq (video)
Ex-House speaker says U.S. should scale back
"It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003," Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the school. "We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it."

Who ever said he "lies"?
He does say a lot that's not true, and rarely if ever corrects himself...it's a big difference.

Its not about lying or even not saying untrue things.
He's a radio jock primarily and he needs to keep his ratings up to keep the money rolling in.
He wishes he had the impact that Imus has but never will.
So sad. |
