    At some point you need to stop making an absolute fool of yourself. A whipped dog needs to go home. GO HOME!

    When the day comes that I'm "whipped," it won't be by you! At least if this is an example of your best effort. So again, give me some examples of altered tapes by Fox over the past year to see if Fox can beat NBC/MSNBC's record.

    None of the news stations have credibility anymore. Fox CNN MSNBC all a bunch of bs.

    Densdail washington said it best in training day when he said

    You don't know any stories? Okay, I'll tell you a story. This is a newspaper. It's 90 per cent bull(*)(*)(*)(*), but it's entertaining. That's why I read it, because it entertains me. You won't let me read it, so you entertain me with your bull(*)(*)(*)(*). Tell me a story, right now.

    Here is my favorite.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h172eAPdPFo&list=FL53UOVhwImSpKiN2ZUeURaw&index=97

    Now find me a liberal media personality that blatantly lies like Hannity does on a regular basis. You CANT!

    Here is another one, but of Beck:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLEMU3XVhO4&list=FL53UOVhwImSpKiN2ZUeURaw&index=1

    Maddow did a great job on this one. She exposed Beck's editting all the while Beck was claiming that Maddow editted......when she really didn't. It was classic entertainment!

    I find this same situation over and over again with the left. You guys make no distinction between Opinion shows, like Hannity, Beck, or Maddow, and actual news coverage. I wonder why that is?

    But in any case, I have to agree that in this situation Fox has just gone too far! Fox attacks 4-week-old baby boy at London home

    Saying that "Obama said insurance execs are bad people", when Obama clearly didn't...............isn't an opinion. LOL

    Im still waiting for you to find me a liberal commentator that lies as blatantly as Hannity does! Oh and when should Hannity's opinion be correct vs. wrong?? Where is it appropriate for either?

    Sean Hannity doesn't "lie". He's just "fair and balanced".

    During the 3:00PM ET hour of live coverage on MSNBC Friday, co-host David Shuster admitted that racially charged quotes he and other hosts attributed to Rush Limbaugh had not been verified: “MSNBC attributed that quote to a football player who was opposed to Limbaugh’s NFL bid. However, we have been unable to verify that quote independently. So, just to clarify.” Shuster did not formally retract the quote or apologize.

    And reporting what someone said without verification is quite a bit different than reporting someone said X..............WHEN YOU KNOW THEY DIDN"T! That's a lie with a bold face!!!

    The Truth-O-Meter Says:
    Maddow
    "Despite what you may have heard about Wisconsin’s finances, Wisconsin is on track to have a budget surplus this year."

    Rachel Maddow on Thursday, February 17th, 2011 in a segment on her television talk show
    Rachel Maddow says Wisconsin is on track to have a budget surplus this year


    We re-read the fiscal bureau memo, talked to Lang, consulted reporter Jason Stein of the Journal Sentinel’s Madison Bureau, read various news accounts and examined the issue in detail.

    Our conclusion: Maddow and the others are wrong.

    There is, indeed, a projected deficit that required attention, and Walker and GOP lawmakers did not create it.

    Do we forget the editing of another tape by MSNBC trying to make Zimmerman out to be a racist?

    RUSH LIMBAUGH: MSNBC is back at it. We have to temporarily set aside our ban today. MSNBC, NBC, Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, they've doctored another tape. And this time everybody caught 'em. Everybody in the Drive-Bys pointed it out. We'll go back and play the audio for you. They doctored the George Zimmerman Trayvon Martin 911 phone call tape to make it appear that Zimmerman was a raging racist, when he wasn't. Now, what they've done, they took a Romney address where he was talking about... well, remember when George H. W. Bush was in the grocery store, saw a supermarket scanner and the press said, "This guy doesn't know what a supermarket scanner is. This guy's so out of touch, doesn't know what a supermarket scanner is 'cause he never goes there." We found out that they totally misrepresented what had happened.

    As NewsBusters reported in March, NBC’s Today show broadcast a selectively edited tape of Zimmerman’s 911 call shortly before he shot Martin that dishonestly cast him as racist. The network was later forced to apologize for its actions.

    Let's not forget this little trick they did too.
    MSNBC tried there best to make it look like no minority group backed the Republicans. They just cut all their speeches out.



    Racism? MSNBC cuts convention speeches by Republican minorities

    On Tuesday, several speeches were given at the Republican convention by minorities, including Mia Love, a black woman running for Congress in Utah, and Artur Davis, a former Democratic Congressman who switched parties. But those watching the convention on MSNBC would never know it, because, Francesca Chambers wrote at Red Alert Politics, the liberal network cut those speeches from its coverage.

    "When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from TexasÂ’ speech," she wrote.

    The network also "stayed on commercial" while former Congressman Artur Davis spoke. A post at The Right Scoop called Davis' speech "one of the best speeches of the night."

    Remember how Obama and MSNBC accused Romney of outsourcing jobs to China through Baine Capital? It was a lie.


    Jul 15, 2012 – An unrelenting President Barack Obama jabbed at Mitt Romney's record with a private equity firm in an ad Saturday that aimed to keep his rival ...

    It's a lie.

    Obama’s ‘Outsourcer’ Overreach
    The president's campaign fails to back up its claims that Romney 'shipped jobs' overseas.

    http://www.factcheck.org/2012/06/obamas-outsourcer-overreach/


    Romney wasn't responsible for outsourcing to China, though he may have profited from it

    I think Liberals need to clean up their own house before bad mouthing Fox. Especially with their tap editing which they seem to do constantly to make things look differently than they really are. These aren't mistakes, but darn right lies.

    Fox and right wing defender to the hilt ey?? LOL

    Whatever floats your boat I guess but, please don't pretend you're anything other than a right wing advocate first and foremost. In other words, stop pretending you're "fair and balanced". You're not. I used to think you were fairly open minded. My mistake....oh well.

    Well sir, I challenge you to point out one post where you ever gave the Right any credit, or even said one thing nice about them. That would go for Fox too.

    I am open minded and you know darn well I have given Obama credit many times. But all I hear out of the Left is bad mouthing Fox, but never say one word about MSNBC and they are much worse. Fox says things that are wrong and we can argue over it being a mistake or done on purpose. But there is no mistake when MSNBC is constantly altering video and audio tapes to make things look different than they really are.

    Why would we. We have proved that they are either very stupid or just plain out liars! Either way, it doesn't make them look good as a proper news source!

    There is nothing wrong with their news. They give the same news as all the other stations, mostly in the morning. The afternoon is mostly commentary where they discuss the big news stories. It's opinions of the commentator. No, he/she isn't always right. But at least everyone of them will have someone on the Left to give their side. That is what makes them fair and balanced. Most of the time you haven't proved Fox liars. You have proved they said something wrong, but that in it's self doesn't prove a lie. Look up the meaning of a lie. But on the other side there is solid proof with altered video and audio tapes that show MSNBC are liars. No doubt about it. You can't say those were mistakes. They were done on purpose.
