    And this happens time and time again, and the reason is simple. Anything that might cast a shadow on the left is ignored, anything that is not PC simply does not fit either.

    It's like having your Mother put a filter on the news. I'll take mine straight up and then decide for myself, I do not need them or anybody telling me what's proper socially or Politically.

    I tend to base my thoughts and opinions on a collective of resources. I read the Liberal side and read the conservative side. Then, like you, I make the best informed decision that I can.
    And I know when I'm being fed a line of hooey...........

    With all due respect, looking at your initial question, knowing I supplied you with a citation in my reply that you failed to read, you have to admit your followup question is quite humorous.

    Jimmyboy, long time no see; hope your doing well. Now as far as your posting; you say that the stories are all "parroted between the three of them"; well maybe its mostly true, but my point is the amount of viewers they command. They must be doing something right to have so many viewers. And you have to admit, they bury Fox News Channel during their time period as well!




    Since I don't work at Fox News Channel I cannot tell you why they picked up on the Gruber stories ten days before the MSM picked up on it and allegedly aired a five second clip on it. How do you know it was five seconds? Did you time it? can you post the clips from all three mainstream media outlets?

    I enjoy laughing at conservatives. But I do suppose that when you include ALL media, the majority would be "liberal" as you right wingers say.

    Jimmyboy, it's not trolling; everything I posted is the truth and I backed it up with links; but of course I guess the truth is rather foreign to you.

    FOX News is not fair and balanced. However, the rest of the media isn't either. I think it's fairer to say that FOX News gives an alternative point of view that needs to be fact checked just like anything you hear on MSNBC. I will say that FOX is at least attempting to report the news unlike anybody on right-wing talk radio such as Limbaugh. However, if you want to hear an intelligent right spin to things you're better off reading the Wall Street Journal.

    well, SmellsGamey, like the usual bleeding heart progressive Liberal, you have posted no such thing. So you have presented squat except for some gamey odor............

    Jimmyboy, looks like once again, both you and I will just have to agree to disagree on this thread! Cheers! :)

    Not true, I watch CNN and MSNBC as well, I watch Joe Scarborough at MSNBC every morning...I find Joe much more interesting then Fox and friends. I find most of the crew at MSNBC cartoonish, like Sharpton, Ed Shultz, and Meadows, so over the top Bias and exaggerated. They use to poke fun at Fox for Bias, then copied them,,,but BADLY!

    Chris Mathews dominates the conversation so horribly the man actually spits, he just cant get his words out fast enough. I dont wanna be spit at...LOL

    Today at two there is a special on CNN, a interview with Charles Barkley I'll be watching that.
