		<description>All this whining about &quot;bias&quot; in the media is hardly unique to the right...some liberals also complain about bias and use as an example how has-been Newt Gingrich gets so much face time on the news shows...funny how most of the media is owned by rather large corporations...who knew such entities were so damned liberal...</description>

		<description>A fair comparison for Fox News would be other 24 hr news channel like CNN, MSNBC . Fox news at least give both sides. CNN and MSNBC do not. 


Also AIP I doubt you would know liberal bias if it bit you. I have seen it on the broadcast station as well. Showing Pelosi accusation about the CIA but not showing a rebuttal is being bias. Doing a story showing one side talking points then cherry picking a few weak talking points from the other side is bias as well.</description>

		<description>Was it barbarians that brought down the Roman empire in the west or was it the rot in the empire that enabled the barbarians to bring it down? The terrorists can hurt us, but they can not defeat us if we do not allow them to defeat us. The economy will eventually come back (it will take longer with Obama&#039;s massive spending and subsequent debt increase and his trashing of basic property rights law, but this to will pass with time). The rot that weakens the will to  resist the terrorists and to rebuild the economy is the danger.</description>

		<description>[...] Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) says liberal media bias is a greater threat than terrorism. I suppose a charitable interpretation of this would be that the GOP has finally stopped over-hyping the threat of terror attacks. Somehow, I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s what he meant.

		<description>Aip;
 I guess you always ridicule what you don&#039;t understand, so if children&#039;s books are too much of a challenge, there&#039;s no since in suggesting Kipling, or Paul, or Tocqueville?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It&#039;s just that conservatives are busy trying to run their own lives instead of everybody else&#039;s, like those toady busy-body liberals.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...the jokes continue on this thread...it&#039;s not &quot;toady busy-body liberals&quot; who tried to stick their collective nose in the Terri Schiavo case, into women&#039;s wombs, into what drugs people want to ingest, etc. etc...psst, here&#039;s a little hint, you know all those religious busybodies who want to tell other people how to live and what is &quot;moral&quot; and what isn&#039;t?  They aren&#039;t liberals...maybe you need to look into some book by Lewis Carroll or Shel Silverstein to find the correct answer...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You mean crass sensationalism and big breasted blonds are popular with the public? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

So, CNN&#039;s infobabes are hard to look at?

And, making a sensation oout of the DNC talking points is something CNN would never do, right?</description>

		<description>&quot;&quot;of course this is why conservatives never hold power for very long, right?&quot;&quot; 
&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;
You have to ask?
 The answer is...
 NAH! It&#039;s just that conservatives are busy trying to run their own lives instead of everybody else&#039;s, like those toady busy-body liberals. ;)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When one listens to Rush we know he is covering it from a conservative view and is shaded so. We are just pointing out that almost all of the MSM is covering it from a liberal view.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Whenever I listen to Rush, he is usually blaming and/or accusing Democrats/Liberals in general, or Obama, Pelosi or Reid specifically.  His show, as with most of Fox news, is about telling you who is a fault for the days news.  In contrast, when I watch the CBS/NBC/ABC 10 o&#039;clock news, there is none of that.  

Heck, even the local Fox affiliate reports the news without bais.  It&#039;s only Fox News Channel that is casting blame, pointing fingers, and telling you who to hate.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I bet if some of the printed media took Fox framework and give both sides of issues their readership would grow instead of tanking like it is now.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hahahahaha...thank you you for that funny of the week...nothing like a little humor on a Friday afternoon...it&#039;s always so cute to watch conservatives whine about the &quot;liberal&quot; media...of course this is why conservatives never hold power for very long, right?  Because that evil MSM undermines them and always makes it possible for their &quot;comrades&quot; to pull the rug out from under the valiant heroes of the right...someone should let Bernie Madoff and Osama bin Laden know that they are chopped liver compared to the sinister CNN/Newsweek Axis of Evil...by the way, exactly how is Hustler a &quot;liberal&quot; publication...</description>

		<description>“but don&#039;t fool yourself into thinking you&#039;re getting unvarnished truth.”

Which is our point. When one listens to Rush we know he is covering it from a conservative view and is shaded so. We are just pointing out that almost all of the MSM is covering it from a liberal view. There seem to be many out there that think that the MSM is giving them the unvarnished truth which is simply untrue. 

Tlaloc
Only someone like you would think a liberal publication like Hustler give both side of a story.

Are you claiming that it would be OK if someone or a small group to have a monopoly of the media? I thought the answer to my tough in cheek question was pretty obvious but maybe not to you. Care to contribute or are you content to just throwing insults?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Rush has never claim to be unbiased.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So?  Such a small insignificant point.  My point is that if &quot;liberal bias&quot; isn&#039;t your cup of tea, go for &quot;conservative bias,&quot; but don&#039;t fool yourself into thinking you&#039;re getting unvarnished truth.

You&#039;re not.  You&#039;re getting &quot;conservative bias.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There is a reason Fox has such high ratings.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You mean crass sensationalism and big breasted blonds are popular with the public?  You don&#039;t say...


&lt;blockquote&gt;I bet if some of the printed media took Fox framework and give both sides of issues their readership would grow instead of tanking like it is now.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hustler already exists...


&lt;blockquote&gt;Hmm ever wonder why they have all those media monopoly rules?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I refuse to believe you are simultaneously dumb enough to ask that question seriously and smart enough to type.  One of those two propositions is false.</description>
