    And the best place for fair and balanced news is BBC, Al Jezerra and my favorite, the Daily Show.

    yeah, you don't watch much of the other networks do ya?

    Are you one of those Opologists who think that it is only lies if it is about Democrats? Biased reporting and flat out lies from the Obama / Dem camp are to be ignored then?

    no it's not. they have just appointed a pro-israeli head, so the BBC will revert to a copy of the Lobby control yank media where anyone talking about the subject is castigated as a antisemite. All gone now.

    unbelievable.

    if i didn't know better, i'd think you two were part of a comedy routine...he provides the set up, and you knock it down.

    but the sad truth is that he's just woefully ignorant and whatever he does 'know' comes from hopelessly hyper-partisan sources with little or no basis in reality.

    but that said, you two should consider taking your act on the road.

    I have the feeling that Boon Mee (like he does on TV) just has this penchant for winding people up and doesn't really believe the cr@p he posts.

    Speaking of cr@p, I am still waiting for Hannity to get himself waterboarded as he promised because it 'isn't torture'.

    I doubt if you will maintain that opinion after you have been around a while.

    Heh...we see that Sad Old Git has decided to join the fray over here now!

    btw, little known forum fact: TV has more Conservatives posting in Bedlam & Outside The box than the juice-boxers. Jing, jing...

    Sarah Palin's Fox return proves conservative media outlets don't care about conservatism - The Week

    Not long ago, conservatives like myself were thrilled to find out that Fox News, often portrayed as the mouthpiece of the conservative movement, had parted ways with former governor of Alaska (and quitter) Sarah Palin. This was truly a cause for celebration. Those of us devoted to building a conservative movement capable of winning elections had come to view the former governor as the symbol of everything, and I do mean everything, wrong with the modern conservative movement.
    But now, Roger Ailes has rehired her. And in so doing, Ailes has issued a painful reminder that he cares far more about making money than he does about informing his viewers — or even winning elections for the Republican Party.
    To be sure, I admire and recognize Palin's remarkable political ability. Her political instincts are sublime, as evidenced by the way crowds of very honorable and intelligent Americans connected with her during her campaign. But while having good political instincts may well make you a hit on the campaign trail, and might even score you a victory or two in elections, those who are all sizzle and no steak get found out soon enough. And never in the history of the United States has anyone ever been found out quite the way Gov. Palin was.
    Before John McCain nominated Palin to be his running mate in 2008, the Republican Party was already in lousy shape. But Palin was rock bottom. She simply did not know enough to engage anyone on any matter of substance, and that was a highly damning fact that shaped the modern perception of the Republican Party. It plagued us in the last election, and continues to hamper us to this day. Because of Palin's lack of education on matters of substance, and because so many in the movement embraced her in spite of that utter cluelessness, most voters came to view the party as a movement driven by charismatic but uneducated leaders followed by hordes of hero worshipers too oblivious or uninterested to contemplate the sorts of disaster that might follow if someone like Palin were actually elected.
    Thankfully, in the years since the disaster that was the 2008 election, many of the shooting-star hacks who captured the imagination of conservatives have been discredited, have disappeared, or were discredited and then disappeared. Palin did not run for president in 2012, and while Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum all had brief moments during the campaign, the Republicans settled on a startlingly serious group of candidates to run against Obama. I know, I know. Mitt Romney did not run a very solid campaign. But his failures as a candidate do not diminish what is undeniably true about the ticket: Mitt Romney is an incredibly bright, incredibly educated man who sported a resume that, by any measure, demonstrated that he had the brains and the background (if not the charisma) to become president of the United States. As for Paul Ryan, say what you will about him or his economic ideas, but it is hard to imagine a candidate less like Sarah Palin. Ryan is literally a deficit nerd who spent his time studying the nuances and details of the budget-making process. It's not sexy, but no one can accuse the man of not being serious minded.
    Even though we lost in 2012, the candidates we Republicans chose were somewhat encouraging, if only because the choice combated a sinister and well-deserved perception: That the conservative movement was a party that rejected education, science, economics, and ideas generally. Then Fox got rid of Palin — a welcome turn. Instead of Palin, Fox would perhaps go get a guest that knows a few things about policymaking. And Fox was much, much better for it.
    Suddenly, Fox News was actually… not making the Republican Party look horrible. But then Roger Ailes reminded me why I loathed conservative media so much in the first place. Conservative media has never been about conservatism, and has always been about using conservatism as a vehicle to make money. Roger Ailes doesn't care about how the GOP is perceived or whether it wins elections. If Sarah Palin draws eyes, that's who he is going to put on TV. So back comes Sarah Palin to make conservatives look clueless, and on and on it goes. Sometimes I just want to cry.

    CHARLES PAYNE FIRED BY FOX NEWS!

    Charles Payne, a contributor and frequent guest host for Fox News and Fox Business, was compensated to promote the stocks of at least three companies since joining Fox. The practice of compensated stock endorsements is currently prohibited by Fox rules, and resulted in the recent contract termination of contributor Tobin Smith. ...
    Payne's Fox News and Fox Business appearances are routinely filled with misinformation on topics like the unemployment rate, unemployment insurance, climate change, corporate tax breaks, disability benefits, and federal worker compensation. He has attacked antipoverty programs by claiming "it gets a little comfortable to be in poverty"; said that "the good part about the stigma [of food stamps] is it actually does serve as an impetus to get people off" them; claimed poor people are "indebted servants" who believe society "owes" them; and said wealth disparity "really doesn't" bother me -- "in fact, it inspires me." He's also spoken at Tea Party rallies in recent years.

    Fox Analyst Charles Payne Was Paid To Push Now Worthless Stocks | Blog | Media Matters for America

    A bit of poetic justice for this lying prick.

    So what about Glen Beck, and his blatant shilling for a grubby coin company? He should be prosecuted, as far as I'm concerned.

    Fox News has 2 uses.

    1: Gives you knowledge of the current angle the dark side is employing
    2: Provides nuff blonde Milfs for excellent eyecandy.

    Other then that it is a lying sack of up-tight shit.

    Beck's show wasn't labelled as news but opinion. That way he could spout off and shill whatever garbage he wanted to and FOX had an out.

    Down to 8% watching extremist right-wing rethoric, there's hope after all.
