Actually Fox News did have people comment on the MSNBC sponsored debate, however they couldn't play very much because MSNBC copyrighted it and forbid it from being reaired. So all they could do was maybe play brief excerpts and comment on it. What?...  [Read More]

A lot of the Fox News shows have a panel thing towards the end of the show, however there are people from both sides of the spectrum on the panels Like I wrote competent counter views would be helpful. Getting someone to the extreme left is not what...  [Read More]

Odd, US News had been considered the more conservative of the News magazines at one point, and I would expect WSJ to be fairly conservative since anything involving that level of money usually is. Chicago Tribune is the more conservative paper and...  [Read More]

The UCLA survey showed they did have a slight conservative leaning, however they were in the top 5 closest to center. They were also 1 of 2 media sources out of 20 that were not politically biased to the Left. One survey does not mean anything, has...  [Read More]

I doubt democrats.com is a reputible source when it comes to Fox News.... No doubt and I never said it was, but the screen shot is true and that is all I wanted to show you. I saw it live on the air so I know Fox did this. You can also find it at abo...  [Read More]

That went beyond making a mistake, that went into slandering a sitting President of the United States, President Bush could have pressed charges. Against who could Bush press charges? Against the people CBS fired, CBS or the person that defrauded th...  [Read More]

I have yet to see someone give a valid reason not to trust Fox News, I've seen and provided ample evidence against CBS when I've said they can't be trusted. Why does every thread turn into which media branch distorts the fact the least (or most)? CB...  [Read More]

She was ordered back to jail for the full 45 days. I bet 28 days does not sound all that bad to Ms. Hilton right now. Can’t say I blame her. Being incarcerated would kill me. Even when I was a kid and my mother would ground me I would go crazy. So...  [Read More]

A second reason is that I believe people look too much to their government for assistance instead of to themselves. IMHO much of America has lost a large degree of it's self-sufficiency. In the case of Hurricane Katrina many people in New Orleans had...  [Read More]

Actually it was because the boyscouts did not allow gays into their ranks and Atheists had complaints with the scout oath. That's why the ACLU didn't want the Boy Scouts allowed on military bases. If that is true, then they really will be trying to...  [Read More]
