The facts are indisputable - every cable network has a slant. When one only attacks a single network and gives the others a pass, it's called being dishonest. They all pull the same crap and use the same tactics, but only one of them is demonized the way FOX News is. I'm not sure what the "FOX News crowd" is exactly, but I would bet they are eerily similar to the "FOX News bashing crowd" in that they live under rocks. I'm sorry for you if you are either unwilling to admit, or too stupid to realize, that MSNBC is just as "evil" as FOX News. No single news outlet should ever be trusted completely. I tend to watch FOX News more than the others simply because it's on at work more often, but I do watch CNN, MSNBC and FOX News and I see the same twists and turns in the stories, depending on the slant of course. If you don't see that, then your eyes aren't open because your partisan hatred fogs up reality for you.
I'm hoping to get an intelligent response from you, but I'm sure you will let me down as always. Keep trying though, I'm pulling for ya!  |
First, I appreciate your explaining why you don't have the time to do more research. I totally understand. I commend you for working as hard as you do. I hope your fiancee appreciates it.
There is no doubt that Keith Olbermann and Dan Abrams have a slant in favor of Democrats. People say that Chris Matthews has a slant towards Democrats as well--I don't see it and neither does my Democrat husband. In fact, we get infuriated when we see him give Democrats a hard time because it is rare we see him give Republicans a hard time.
MSNBC has Morning Joe, and Joe Scarborough is a Republican. Personally, I like him, and I will watch his show when I am not working.
What bothers me about Fox News is that they consistently bash Democrats in a way that is very elementary-schoolish, IMO. The comment about Obama and his wife doing a fist bump and the stupid woman from Fox News saying something about it being indicative of a terrorist sign was just plain ludicrous, and that is putting it lightly. I have
never seen CNN or MSNBC show such partisanship. This is what bugs me most about Fox--the immaturity they show in their partisanship. Shame on them. Shame, shame on them. I cannot emphasize this enough.
If this isn't an intelligent response, so be it.
