He's right... We need to shut down all the liberal news collaborators...

We've gotten the Dallas Morning News and Ft. Worth Star Telegram for years and we just cancelled the DMN because they are both the same paper! And both had lap band surgery or something because you couldnt wrap a good size fish with either.

Yep, let's all watch Faux News, get in step with each other and pretend fair and balanced doesn't mean think like us or your a pinko communist, socialist, pig.

I'm sorry coug but your slamming Fox isn't going to cause anyone to stop watching it so let's all just watch what we want to watch...what do ya say? I could expound for a while about the worthlessness of CNN / MSNBC etc. but for what? I'm not going to waste a second of my precious time listening to their worthless drivel (and not many others are watching either) so what is the point? Whatever it is they are trying to do, it obviously isn't working.

Asoph would have been a better journalist than anyone on Faux News. I guess fables have taken the place of real news. When I was a child I liked fairy tales too but when I became an adult I put away childish things.

And Obama is the messiah, we know, we know. :rolleyes:

[mad_fan]

Yep, let's all watch Faux News

Problem solved...:yes:
Or are you suggesting the problem would be solved if we did away with Fox News???
I'd hate to silence either side...

Fables replaced 'real news' when I watched the pickup 'blow up' on Dateline...
Or was it Dan Rather...and the Killian documents???
lol...Seeing Dan in a GM pickup out of the scope on the Barrett 50 Cal...WIN...

Millions and millions would dissagree...but like I said, we're not changing each others minds...Is this a great country or what?:p

all I can say is don't watch it. You wouldn't know real news if it happened in front of you if you think ABC,NBC or CBS is real journalism.

You are smart enough to realize that you are as equally tunnelvisioned against the right as you accuse others of being towards the left...I mean....you are smart enough to recognize that, aren't you....surely you can reread your posts and see just how insanely hypocritical they sound...right?

Otherwise, you are merely a stereotypical liberal who thinks only the other guys' crap stinks.

Yes sir I am and I also realize that I try to bring some form of rational thought and balance to an other wise one sided conversation.

ask mad_fan, upon further investigation I admitted he may even have a point today although I know much of what he does when responding to me is just bait, I still choose to bite because at some level I find his banter entertaining and he doesn't personally attack me.

There may be hope for me yet but I wouldn't hold my breath hoping you could do the same.

Point taken but they are merely segments of news still reported for the most part under the tenets of what Journalism is suppose to be, who, what, when, where and how. They aren't perfect for sure. The days where reporters did investigative work, verified sources, double and tripled sourced information are gone. Americans want it at a second grade level with fingers pointing and a food fight on steroids.

Does anyone remember Watergate? Now that was some real reporting. Eighteen months of real life suspense, not made up controversy. Does anyone really believe the concocted stories of Obama's citizenship or his Muslim religion, or that he's a socialist are real, honest to goodness, fact checked, verifiable stores. Of course not, they're fabricated lies to boost rating, rile up the masses and promote discontent in order to create more stories. Faux News is the lynch pin of such nonsense and that is why I call them out on it more often than other outlets.

You still have paid no attention......I said that both sides stink....Reps and Dems are crooks.....I can't remember the last time I tuned into Fox News.

I've crossed the boundry...you're still looking for it.

You're doing the old liberal trick of mistaking my conservatism with support of the Republicans and Fox.

sunspots. That is what is ruining our democracy.

Anyone else like the movie Rollerball?

Ahhhhhhhhh...it was OK......nothing to write home about.....saw it when it came out in the theater...it was just OK.

Houston...Houston...Houston...

I liked the idea of the movie. Not so much the acting or the actual movie-making part. That was significantly lame.

But the part about an individual vs. what is good for the whole of society as defined by a few I thought was significant.
