Chavez is a dictator, they are homicide bombers,
I don't disagree, but they shouldn't use those terms in their news coverage as though there was no controversy about them whatsoever.

What possible reason do they have for CONSTANTLY using his middle name in their news feed? I don't know of any other politician who they regularly do this for. What a coincidence that they do it to the one guy who has a Middle Eastern sounding name. I'm sure there's no bias there. :roll:
Trajan Octavian Titus said:And I would say that any station that refers to them as suicide bombers or Chavez as a legitimate ruler leans to the left.
"Suicide bomber" was the standard term until the White House started using "homicide bomber." Using the standard term does not imply that it isn't a homicide.
Similarly, referring to Chavez as "Venezuelan President" instead of "Venezuelan Dictator" does not confer legitimacy. "President" is simply his title and is a neutral term. Saddam Hussein was a president, Vladimir Putin is a president, etc. That doesn't mean that they're freedom-loving democrats. Using the term "dictator" on their news coverage to describe Chavez is silly. Of course he's a dictator, but the fact is that there is controversy about this, so they shouldn't state it as fact.

He's certainly louder and more assertive. He talks almost twice as much as Colmes does.

What's your point? Those stations always try to get an opposing view as well...from a skilled debater, not a straw man.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:His outburst wasn't bizarre infact it was another example of how biased CNN is, why do you think he got pissed?
I have no idea. Carville was just being Carville. Novak should have been used to it by now. But don't change the subject; Novak was on CNN for years and he certainly isn't a RINO or a foil for anyone.
