Are you reading these posts, Squawker? You seem to be totally missing the point. I know you already have it in your mind that liberals are nothing more than crybabies who get outraged by the right-wing view. And this stereotype is so ingrained in you that you totally misread the posts. Let's review, shall we? I will answer your post with points I had already made BEFORE you "responded". Try to keep up.
Squawker says:
I am having a great deal of enjoyment from the lefts outrage over the Fox News Channel. You become so incensed over the “Fair and Balanced” motto. If they don’t spout the News you agree with it isn’t fair. KansasMeg had already explained:
The reporters/anchor persons on FOX News portray themselves as objective journalists, when in fact they are not. [I am] not saying it is wrong for them to be "opinion journalists" or pundits, that's perfectly fine. Heck, the liberals have Air America.
Ya, I sounded pretty darn outraged there, didn't I.
Squawker says:
If they don’t spout the News you agree with it isn’t fair. If they don’t give equal time to some left winger minute by minute, they are not balanced.
True, if FOX gives more time to Republicans than Democrats it IS unblananced. But that doesn't bother me. Give all the time you want to Republicans. Heck, give them 100% of the broadcast time. I woundn't expect Air America to give Republicans 50% of the air time, so why should I expect anything more from Fox? Like I had said...
There is a clear Republican/Conservative agenda over there at Fox News, no doubt about it. And like I said before, that's fine. But they need to be forthright about their intentions.
Are you getting it yet, Squawker?
The only problem I have with Fox News is that they misrepresent themselves. They portray themselves as "fair and balanced" when they truely are not. And this misrepresentation leads some viewers to believe they are watching unbiased news. I am NOT upset with the greater coverage by Republicans rather than Democrats. I am NOT upset that they spout the news I don't agree with.
Now that you've got the message clear, got a better response?
And by the way, Squawker, in case you can't tell, I'm not mad, outraged or crying over this at all. In fact, I'm having fun.
