CABLE NEWS RACE

[smurphy]

All I was doing was replying to your initial claim that the masses swarmed to Fox because they were sick of the crap on CNN, among others. ...I believe it was your initial whiny statement that began this horrible string whininess.

My claim was that Fox is more biased to the right than CNN is to the left.

Well, if we are forced to exclude the opinion shows in this assesment, what are we left with on Fox? Especially in Primetime? I guess we have very little to compare at that point.

the dems don't get how the american public is thinking post 9/11....that is why they are on the defensive.

This is also why they lost the election....good point.

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

smurphy you already said that and we are still waiting for a specific example from you as to a time Fox reported something based on republican "Bias".

 

[smurphy]

Hey, Novak is on CNN right now without opposition in his face.

What person for the Left ever gets an open forum on Fox to quietly give a viewpoint without someone attacking them? At least on CNN you can get a neutral interviewer allowing all sides a chance to have their say without immediate and loud rebuttal.

The reporting of Howard Dean's selection as party chair. Are you deaf???

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

-----I'll agree with both of you on that

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

Why who said what about Dean's selection??? be specific...thanks

 

[AR182]

well, as mentioned before, cnn has a hard news guy, aaron brown, giving uninterupted liberal points without anybody taking the other side.....

i haven't noticed the hard news people from msnbc or fox doing that.

What kind of an example was *that*? WTF does 'hedgehog admin' mean? Do you have any idea or does it just *sound* bad?

 

[smurphy]

Bill O'Reilly smirked, Hannity and Coulter insulted

smurphy quote:". Are you deaf???"

that's very funny....i almost choked on my glass of water.....

murphy....

your wit was a pleasant surprise when i talked to you at the super bowl gathering....i like your sense of humor.

 

[smurphy]

You too AR! I had great time talking and hanging out with you.

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

again murphy....THOSE ARE COMMENTATORS with opinions!!!!! ... I think all is this is going right over your head buddy.

 

[smurphy]

I'm trying to find this Aaron Brown "hedgehog" administration comment, but can't find it. How long ago was this statement?

Hedgehog seems to be some kind of political term - I can't tell if it's in any way insulting or biased....

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

I told you what it meant 15 minutes ago. omg you liberals are slow lol.

 

[smurphy]

again murphy....THOSE ARE COMMENTATORS with opinions!!!!! ... I think all is this is going right over your head buddy.

No it's not over my head. There's so little "news" on Fox, that I really don't even know what samples I can use.

This morning's news show had an interesting interpretation of todays suicide bombing. I guess it wouldn't count as bashing, but it was not at all neutral. Instead of just reporting the bombing, they immediately talked about the election 3 weeks ago and condescended to the Iraqi population to just get out and stand up to the insurgents. ...Like that's all it would take - nevermind wanting to protect their families - just get out and stand up to the suicide bombers. It was very strange and very assuming of what's going on in Iraq. It came off as very defensive of the war instead of just being NEWS.

cnn leans hard liberal....fox leans hard conservative.....

a perfect world.....

the problem is that nobody watches cnn anymore...they are changing their programing more often than arianna huffington changes political affiliations....

not a shot at cnn...just the facts...

if msnbc would shitcan olbermann,i`d watch them more often...i like dan abrahams very much.... and matthews(even though he`s very biased) and always enjoy pat buchannan because he`s not afraid to criticize his own guys...

cnn is in big trouble after owning cable news for quite awhile.....

these things tend to be cyclical...

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

OK you know what.....smurphy...you are right....

CNN is NOT biased news reporting. Now let's watch their ratings sky-rocket back up to the top along with the "in-touch" democratic party!!!!!!!!

 

[smurphy]

I don't disagree with you Manson about Fox being more popular. That's obvious.
