they dropped bombs on civilian targets. So you're trying to hide the fact that Hamas deliberately sets up its rocket launch sites near schools to maximize the chances of civilian casualties? he's in a coma, but that's beside the point. Then why b...  [Read More]

fact: israel has probably dropped around 6000 tons of explosives on gaza by now and unlike the rockets hamas is firing that have designs that are decades old, the israelis can actually aim them since they get some of the most advanced weapons in the...  [Read More]

Which does not excuse this attack. Israel blew up 230+ people, not soldiers, not paramilitary, not terrorists, just random people. So you're saying it's Israel's fault that Hamas uses civilians as human shields, also the UN is practically the worst...  [Read More]

Why? The measures do nothing, and half the nations that signed on are guilty of breaking these measures on a daily basis. Isn't it THEY who should be criticized for being hypocritial, instead of the US for simply objecting to a rule they pretty much...  [Read More]

Olbermann*, and for every one of him, Fox has an O'Reilly. O'Reilly is a lot more objective than Olbermann and makes an effort to present both sides. And the idea that Fox News is objective in anything is purely laughable. They seek to taint every...  [Read More]

I already commented on MSNBC (as far as I can, as I only occasionally watch Olberman's show). I cannot comment on the others as I avoid the corporate news networks as much as humanly possible. I am not their spokesperson. Can I ask what in the world...  [Read More]

Nope, your own bias means you think that, while others in this threads bias means they think MSNBC has "some liberal leaning but they do their best to be objective". So we have Fox News having Brit Hume (a News anchor) cover both conventio...  [Read More]

Proof, or no it didn't. Sorry, but nothing that farfetched would ever be considered even plausible without rock-solid proof. And I am positive that you don't have that, as you have dodged the many requests for evidence several times now. Either find...  [Read More]

@Garfield--you have to admit that posting about 'mysteriously disappearing articles' is extremely difficult to believe, and it's likely to affect your credibility. If liberals said such a thing, you'd find it hard to believe, too. Please confine your...  [Read More]

No, I'm saying that blaming the "liberal media" for editing tapes is a rather poor excuse for anything, especially when you have no credible proof to back up your statements. Besides, who doesn't edit their tapes? Also, bloggers, either con...  [Read More]

Sorry, but that's just an awful excuse. If something in the news doesn't feel good enough to be true to you, then I suppose it's perfectly okay to assume that that the news source is "liberal", and therefore, it isn't true. Hence why I beli...  [Read More]

Let me make it clear, so you don't think I'm implying anything: Jae isn't God. Now, she and I have been friends long enough that I know she won't take any offense to this, and would likely agree. Jae and I are able to have a discussion/debate civilly...  [Read More]
