Intresting

Indeed...

I HATE Fox News. It is soooooo biased, leaning to the right. When I had DirectTV, I watch MSNBC, or CNN, PBS, or BBC. Now its CBS or PBS--they seem to be the less biased of the 3 major nets.
FOX is Fair and balanced, my ass! :pissed: They should be sued for saying that because its a blatant lie!

MSNBC, and all the rest aren't any better when it comes news coverage either. But lets face it, all news coverage is biased. Take a look at the worst newspaper now, the New York Times. These people are so blatantly biased that it makes me want to puke. I recently bought a copy of the Times for one of my classes, after reading that pile of of pig shit I used it to line the kitty box in my house. Give me the Wall Street Journal anyday.

I prefer watching FOX news. That way I get proper business analysis and news without seeing people groan and whine when there are important things that need to be done then worry about their political gameshow.

This one was the worse...i must say.


Btw...i prefer CNN, but i dont watch so much the news channels, Discovery and ESPN are my faves. Beer, Nhl and Nascar...what a SPOOOORT!

Care to put up something that isn't obviously doctored? Or do you honestly believe that is real?


anyway, being that Governor George Wallace was a democrat shouldn't that story be on the liberal slanted new shows? Damn, he was a democrat and a clans member, go figure. But this was brought up before so no need to go back into it.

Of course it's real! I remember that Trojan Horse stuff like it was yesterday! And everyone knows that TV was around when Jesus was alive, dun

Anyway, this has nothing to do with politics, it's just saying that Fox News is horribly biased and an unreliable source of news. And from what I've seen, they're more of a joke than a news channel. MSNBC, CNN, BBC, PBS... seriously, every single other news service is far better than them.

Damn...the klans are disgusting, they STINK!

that's a good one. *g* and so much truth in it.

Thats pretty funny! I guess it all depends on which side of the political fence you are on. Everyone in the US knows how horribly liberally biased the news channels are. Fox is the only channel that is a bit conservative.

All you have to do is check out who owns these stations and where their donations are going, not that hard to figure out really.

As for PBS....you are kidding right???

In at least three cases it has been discovered that PBS recieved donor lists to solicit directly from the Clinton-Gore 1996 campaign, a violation of federal law. This issue alone has greatly damaged PBS's credability while placing the question of federal funding for PBS under severe scrutiny.

And here is a PERFECT example of what you can find hidden on the very last page of US News. I was reading this magazine while I was at the doctor's office and most every article in there had a more liberal slant. Low and behold though on the very LAST page of the magazine I found this very interesting article about the new Left Democrat party. Oooohhhh soooo true indeed!

The New McGovernites

The editor of "The New Republic" suggested the other day that "the new liberal political culture emerging on the Internet" looks a lot like the McGovernite revolution that descended on the Democratic Party in 1972. In a lecture at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, Peter Beinart said the mostly young Internet activists are clearly taking over the party. If so, this would be the first ray of sunshine for conservatives and Republicans in almost a year. The McGovern movement severely damaged the party, pushing it toward four presidential defeats in five tries, until Bill Clinton won by dragging the party back to the center in 1992. If the Internet people had prevailed in 2004, Howard Dean would have won the nomination and then been buried in an enormous landslide, just like George McGovern.

Beinart wrote one of the most impressive magazine articles of 2004, a 6,000-word piece on the failure of liberalism to reshape itself in the wake of 9/11 and the rise of Islamofascism. He was highly critical of liberal "softs" who tolerate Michael Moore and MoveOn.org, the potent Internet-based group that has urged antiwar liberals to cooperate with the totalitarian left, specifically with International Answer, a front for the World Workers Party, which has defended Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, and North Korean madman Kim Jong Il. Beinart called on liberals to cut themselves off from totalitarian movements and from people who imagine that the terrorist threat is minor or nonexistent, just as mainstream liberals in 1947 girded themselves for the Cold War by ejecting pro-Communist and soft-on-Communism types like the followers of Henry Wallace.

That article was blunt. The speech last week was more circumspect and polite--no harsh words for the soft-on-totalitarians types like the George Soros-financed activists at MoveOn. Still, Beinart fears that the new activists are "largely in the dark about what they believe" and will come to power without the ideas they need to govern.

Let's assume that Beinart is right and that the Deaniacs are today's McGovernites. This would be an excellent time to ponder what the McGovern reformers did to the party. The changes at the 1972 convention removed the power of the city bosses and party regulars to determine the nominee and, in theory at least, increased the number of Democrats involved in selecting nominees. In reality, though, the reformers, through rule changes and some stealth and manipulation, stacked the convention and radically changed the party. Affluent, well-educated liberals were in--a "new elite," as the Washington Post termed it. Party regulars, officeholders, and blue-collar Democrats were out. New York, a union state, had only three union members as delegates, though it had at least nine members of the gay liberation movement. No farmer was a member of the Iowa delegation. Only 30 of the 255 Democratic members of Congress were selected as delegates. A full 39 percent of delegates had attended graduate school. Over a third of the white delegates were classified as secularists, compared with 5 percent of the general population. The reformers installed rough quotas for blacks, women, Hispanics, and people ages 18 to 25. The total of female delegates tripled, to 43 percent, with heavy emphasis on supporters of abortion and the hard-edged feminism represented by Bella Abzug.

"^A kick in the gut." Jack Newfield and Joe Flaherty, both pro-McGovern Village Voice reporters from working-class backgrounds, asked, Where are the quotas for Irish, Italians, and Poles? "The McGovernite movement," wrote Murray Rothbard, a prominent libertarian, "is, in its very nature, a kick in the gut to Middle America."

The regulars who picked candidates before the McGovern revolution always looked for a mainstream candidate who could win. McGovern's activists had to be mobilized and sustained by ideological appeals that put the movement and the candidate decidedly left of the electorate. So McGovern couldn't have won.

The McGovern reform commission and the people who changed the party in 1972 wrought lasting damage, and not just to Democrats: They helped mightily to create the modern split between red America and blue America. Many members of disfavored groups--Catholics, southerners, and much of the white working class and lower middle class--decamped for the Republican Party, while the Democrats emerged more clearly visible as the party of well-off liberals, the poor, identity and grievance groups, secularists, and the cultural elite. A second coming of McGovernite guerrillas wouldn't do much to improve that image.

This has to be one of the funniest pictures I have seen in a very long time, and it is Indeed REAL.

"As this case proceeds, Valerie and I are confident that justice will be done. In the meantime, I have a request. While I may engage in public discourse, my wife and my family are private people. They did not choose to be brought into the public square, and they do not wish to be under the glare of camera. They are entitled to their privacy." - Joe Wilson





AWE lookie, poor Val (desk jockey) and her hubby, didn't want any exposure...yet they posed for this picture for Vanity Fair right after the story broke.

That's why I've heard many Americans actually watch BBC for news. It's much more even-handed and critical.

I learned a long time ago that you have to look at other sources for news than Television.

Honestly, the news here has turned into one big Jerry Springer.

Internet, baby. Internet all the way. Best source in the world.

well you know what they say "the theory that if you put a million monkeys in front of a type writer you could eventually get the beginning paragraph of a shakespearean novel, or an equivalent in quality was proved wrong by the internet"
