Did they get caught falsifying news stories like some of the liberal stations? I felt like Dan Rather's faked George Bush memo-gate story was a little biased personally. Did you think that was biased?

Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity spend and hour a day each telling lies.

And by the way, Mel, you don't REALLY want to see Biden in a bathing suit, do you? Biden in a Speedo??? Now THAT is sexist on my part....grooooooowl! But can you imagine a Palin vs. Biden swimsuit competition?!?!?

Maybe we just have a "shoot off debate" between Biden and Palen of the real variety.

A little Scranton streets versus Alaska wilderness....20 paces, turn, and fire! I wonder what a "Biden moose" would look like?!?

And I wonder if we'd call a taxidermist or an embalmer???

And by the way Joe, that little place in Scrantan you remember so nostalgicly every time you go there, it hasn't existed for a long time....gone, like your other memories of facts.

Wow, I'm really surprised at you. Since Hannity is on the air 4 hours daily, between the TV and radio shows, and ONLY 1 hour of it is lies, that must mean you consider the other 3 hours to be truth. Stunning. I guess it just shows making "premature" judgments about people's opinions is as big a mistake as it ever was...:RollieEyes: I humbly stand corrected.

I phrased my statement poorly.

When their mouths are moving, crap is spewing out.

1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours...it makes no difference.

No, not at all. The news hour is straight up facts, and it ends with a panel of equal # of liberals and conservatives to comment on the news. It is far and away the best news channel on TV.

Ok. I will check it out and see what I think. My husband seems to like it. He looks at FOX and CNN.

But I don't think that O'Reilly guy is unbiased.

Want2 - I won't take the time to go back and reiterate that it was the President and John McCain who were "sounding the alarm" years ago. If you feel comforted in blaming Republicans for the fiasco started under the Democrats, feel free to knock yourself out.

However, no matter WHO you want to blame for the financial meltdown, IT IS HERE and IT IS REAL.

And these two "yo-yo's" want to play the 'ooops, it's everyones fault' game BUT they "cop out" on any ANSWERS to the problem. Real STRONG of them. They don't even offer up one of their "opinions" on which candidate might have the "better plan" to help get us out of this mess.

We, the voters, ARE faced with having to give an "answer," and the only two choices we have are the PLANS of the only two candidates we can vote for who will be one of the two who WILL be the next President. We don't get to "cop out," unless we find some way to "feel good" about doing nothing (as in NOT voting).

NOW the question is whose "economic plan" is best likely to help right the ship and get the ecomony moving forward again. If you want to think that more taxes, "redistributing income," and ANOTHER TRILLION DOLLARS in SPENDING, on top of the 0.7 TRILLION in "rescue money" is a way to right the ship, encourage job creation and job growth, and give people more incentive to be successful by taxing their success and hard work, as Obama boldly states, there is nothing that anyone can say to change your mind.

If you think that "Socializing" medical care is the "answer," even though Obama has NOT ONE CLUE about how he would PAY for the costs (look at the govenment's WONDERFUL management of the Medicare (and Social Security) systems, then nothing anyone can say will change your mind.

If you think that murdering MILLIONS of unborn and (according to Obama's desire) surviving children of abortion attempts, IS the "best way" to handle irresponsible sexual activity, then nothing anyone can say will change your mind.

If you think that Obama's naive ideas about "how to negotiate" with our enemies and with nations who DO NOT want us to survive by having the PRESIDENT of the United States meet with them with NO preconditions is "wise" and "makes sense," then nothing anyone can say will change your mind.

If you think that the Bush's "association" with the Saudi's is a problem, and you DON'T think that Obama's meddling in Kenyan politics, supporting a candidate who wants Islamic Religious Law as the "governing" rule in Kenya is NOT a problem and NOT indicative of how a "President Obama" would "view" the Constitutional MANDATE (OATH of Office) to "preserve, protect, and DEFEND" the AMERICAN "way of life," then NOTHING anyone can say will change your mind.

There IS a stark contrast between Conservatives and Liberals.

May God help us all.

For any readers who are students of "end times prophecy," it IS possible that the "stage is being set" for "all nations will be against Israel." I hope not, but inevitably there WILL come a time when that is true because it is a requirement prior to God's intervention.

He is a pompous [censored]. My apologies to [censored]. cry

Mimi, watch the newshour that comes on at 5 cst. [6 est] I think you will like it. I have found it to be a cut above any other. [a university study on media bias rated it one of the best] At the end they will have commentary from a panel that usually includes Juan Williams of PBS, Charles Krauthammer of WAshington Post and some other guy. It is really enlightening to see a mixed panel discuss the news of the day.

I have little use for Bill big mouth O'Reilly or Alan Colmes and Sean Hannity who come on next.

Maybe it's more obvious than I thought. That's why I like her...

Mel, that's only because they REALLY DO think that Americans can think for themselves and do not have to be led around by the nose by "in the tank liberals masquerading as 'journalists'."

Hannity and COLMES.

O'Reilly who I disagree with strongly sometimes and who I agree with sometimes.

And did you catch his "interview" with Barney "I was bedding a member of FM while I was heading up the committee charged with whatever oversight of FM there would be" Frank?

You know the guy, "I have no responsibility for the meldown" Barney Frank?

It's hilarous what the Left finds biasd. The ONLY news station that swings to the right is FOX. Most other news outlets and 99% of print swing so far to the left it's not even funny but I don't hear any of you Dem's screaming about how biased they are.

What gives??? Do you really see CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC....and on and on as UNBIASED?

Just to clarify, mimi, Bill is an independent, Sean is a staunch conservative, and Alan is a staunch liberal.

Kinda makes up a "fair and balanced" threesome, don't you think?

Certainly a lot more "fair and balanced" than the View and way more balanced than ABC, CBS, and especially NBC and their ideas of "reporting."

Oh yes, that was a site to behold. He was SHRIEKING "COWARD, COWARD!" at Barney Frank while BF kept spinning and lying about his part in the FM and FM collapse.

What is funny is that my own father, a radical liberal, LOVED O'Reilly. He liked how he beats up crooked politicians.
