Another Example Of How Patriotism Is Practiced By Fox News

In no way can any reasonable person compare the King to the President the way you have.
Bringing up the tired old refrain of "leading from behind" in this situation is beneath the dignity of every American.
Too bad GOPs as yerself can't imagine what it's like to have a war in yer back yard .

That was a little strange.

Overall that's a problem with the entire cable and broadcast news industry. There really isn't a hard news down the middle 24x7 channel. Each has their 1 hour programs that provide hard news but the genre is severely lacking. Only time I can get hard news is with my local news stations or local newspaper.

A person has to take in multiple sources 24x7 and distill them into something that rings true. Who the hell can do that every day.

I've been in those wars, and the king is a shining example.

We hear so much from the right about how Obama "disrespects" America. These are the exact people who have spent six + years disrespecting the office of President of the United States.

Respect is earned.
 
He won the election in 2008. That is all he had to do, at that time, to earn the respect of any fair-minded American. But, no, you see, one of the things that happened after Obama won that election was the forming of groups working for his impeachment. And he hadn't even been inaugurated yet. That is the mindset we are dealing with. There was a "usurper" afoot.

Don't make us laugh with this "earn the respect" nonsense. There are people who were NEVER going to accept Obama.

Why would you be surprised I watch Fox and Friends? You don't like others making assumptions about you, so why do it to others?

Because the target audience for Fox and Friends is housewives who are more interested in who the Bachelor sent home last night than in hard political discussions, and you didn't strike me as someone that shallow and clueless. I didn't realize that assuming someone is smarter and more astute than that is a bad thing. I won't make that terrible assumption about you again.

While F&F may deal with a lot of fluff, those housewives who aren't as interested in "hard political discussions" often walk away from that show with terribly misleading political information, since the panel DOES touch on politics and often gives horrendously biased and factually challenged analysis.

The only morning program with any news integrity is on CBS.

I generally catch the first 10 minutes or so of that when the lady is getting ready for work (before I go back to bed). It's good, hard news with no fluff.

I wouldn't know. I don't know anyone who watches it. My friends are like me -we all watch Morning Joe.

Obama or his supporters whining about fox news is like a quarterback insulting the one cheerleader who won't sleep with him

Fox News has attacked the President of the United States EVERY DAY, for the past 2200 days. Not a day goes by that someone on that channel is not belittling the president.

Yes, just like MSNBC did every day during the Bush Administration. There is no question that politics is humanity at its worst.

How would you imagine the rest of the world sees that ?

I would imagine that, in some countries, people would be impressed with how much freedom of speech Americans enjoy.

Just how clueless are you ?

The personal insult at the end of your post destroys everything you said before it. Really bad debate tactic.
