Well then WTF is he doing on news network if he is not news?

Why is it that any time it's mentioned that Hannity or Beck got caught lying, instead of just saying "yup, that's a lie, and bad", it's "well, they are just commentators", like it somehow makes it ok then?

No one called Hannity a newsman that I saw, just that he lied.

I agree --- remove all commentary from news channels, that includes all the MSLSD shows which is around 90% of their liberal programming. ONLY hard news from now on. Great idea.

The same thing Olbermann is doing on the other channel. Being a **** stirrer and an entertainer.

I am seriously losing my faith in the overall intelligence of this forum.

Ockham

It's hyperpartisan --- in order to tow the party line, the whiners must trot out the latest fauxnews information... gotta be on the Obama train don't ya know?

jallman

How come every time Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck do something stupid, it's attributed to all Fox News across the board? How come people can't say "wow, commentators known for being bull****ters got caught bull****ting again" and say "huh" and just move on?

It's not surprising to anyone with an ounce of perception. Why is it breaking news to you people when it happens?

Redress

Because the Fox News network is responsible for the content aired on their network.

Edited to add: if you catch Olbermann in a lie, and want to blame MSNBC, you would be totally right, since they are responsible for the content on their station as well.

The same thing an Opinion column is doing in a newspaper.

I don't watch either because I understand that they aren't going to do anything but drive down my overall intelligence by doing so.

I just don't see what's so enlightening about combing through what's supposed to be the news to find that a non news show presented a falsehood and then make it into a news item.

It's just gotten old. Yes, FOX News has commentary that leans right. MSNBC has commentary that leans left. Commentary is not exactly informative and has a tendency to spin and skew. Why is this so profound to some people?

Redress

I enjoy shows from both actually. I like seeing how things are being presented, and I enjoy some of the interview segments. There are reasons to watch the shows.
