I thought this was pretty interesting. It talks about how those of us who get most of our news from the internet often don't even get to see opposing viewpoints, unless we make a conscious effort to do so. Facebook and Google actively filter what we get to see based on our past interests. With Twitter, we filter ourselves. Some of the aggregators, like RealClearPolitics, present diverse viewpoints but they're still based on what others deemed important. It's frightening how much influence anonymous entities have over our political thoughts and opinions.

I just looked up the Republican National Party, Republican Congress and various other permutations on that theme and clicked away;)

No being hthat we have "media Matters" to do God's work for us. Also LTR will give the highlights of the propaganda machine of lies.

Hell No! You think I am gonna miss out on my reality TV shows?:shock:

I cannot wait for May 30th to see the Season Premiere of BasketBall Wives and my new addiction is Mob Wives:2razz:
 
I watch Glenn Beck sometimes and various clips that come up on Google News....
 
I used to, but I just can't anymore.

That said, I don't watch any cable news (unless you can't The Daily Show & The Colbert Report from time to time). I do like to read some conservative columnists (George Will, David Brooks, e.g.) to get their perspective.
 
I watch the news shows that I know will tend to tell both sides such as the Sunday morning shows or if I watch pundit shows I make sure it's with well educated pundits or hosts (see Lawrence odonnell Anderson Cooper) or I get my stuff from online. I watch fox on commerical breaks.

So liberals, especially on this board, have no where to turn. They are sweating bullets waiting on Beck's next TV show.

Hannity isn't the same, he doesn't wear his Christianity on his sleeve like Beck. :lol:

I'm not really a liberal, but am democrat leaning. My boyfriend is a Republican who I consider far more credible than anyone on FOX News. We are constantly debating each other, and I think we often shift each other's views. I also read plenty of columns from a conservative point of view. Long story short: I do not watch FOX very often, but I don't think I'm missing out on much.

Wow. Really? Because all I have connected in my brain to Beck is Mellie.

As for me, I'm in my second week of training for my new job. My new grandbaby is due in November, and I live for my weekend road trips. And this is a middle-aged single woman having a pretty slow life. So unless the liberal you're talking about is a quadriplegic whose browser only carries DP, I think you've overstated the case.

Again.

Come on, admit it. You miss Beck.

I don't....people have enough things to make them worry.

I miss my grandbabies, that's what I miss. I don't see near enough of them, and they grow up so fast.

I'm told I have lost enough brain cells already through, you know, toking. I don't think I can afford to lose anymore by watching Fox.

The first time I saw a Glen Beck episode was through a clip posted on this forum. And yes, I felt a bit more stupid for having watched it.

I used to. Not so much any more due to time issues(I don't got enough of it), but I will still catch Bill O'Reilly occasionally. His humor works for me.

I used to listen to O'Reilly on his radio show. I agreed with him about as much as I disagreed with him.
