    I disagree that the Republican party has gone left, as some other poster here said

    But I have complaints about Fox News because there are things they do that are "liberal"

    for one thing, they often use the same rhetoric as the left when dealing with the abortion issue. It seems they are afraid to come out and call it Murder a lot of the time, even though they are still pro-life (meaning: most of the newscasters come across pro life)

    on the other extreme, they can be too... How do i say it? relentless about things like food stamps.

    Why should anyone in the US, especially the poor, care about taking $$$ from the taxpayers just to survive (a lot of them really need them, although some, admittedly do not)

    when Congress, also paid by the taxpayers... is paid MILLIONS (over time) and they don't always get any more accomplished than the bum who sits on the couch watching TV all day long and collecting foods stamps... a stereotype i seriously doubt exists, or if so, not in the numbers some extremists would have us believe.

    So, my main point is: Why should we begrudge the poor food stamps or (?) when Congress is living like royalty?



    no wonder most "poor" people do not vote R

    The Rs probably lost the last 2 pres elections because of this kind of thing or partly because of it

    Really, though

    Why would a person receiving gov assistance CARE about taking this $$ when Congress is living like kings. They are ALSO taking $$ from the gov, and it is arguable that they get much done except to vote on spending more of said taxpayer $$

    so i just don't see much of a difference

    If a candidate for presidency said he would cut Congress' salary, but also cut a certain % of food stamps and other entitlements, i think then t he people on entititlements might listen..

    until then... they will keep resenting those who resent them... and nothing will change

    You just copy those emails and use them on Yahoo or Gmail or whatever, they aren't supposed to be links.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I think it's weird that all the White people on FOX news have so many opinions about what goes on in the black community.

    If they really cared, they would give someone from Harlem a show.

    I cut/pasted the citation but got some message about how that isn't going to work... or something
    They have a lot of Black commentators there, really good ones like Ben Carson, Scott... can't recall his name... from S Carolina, David Webb and many other interesting ones. But i have to say... never noticed but you are right, none of them has a show.

    I say they cut out that health nut chick (Carol Alt), who is a liberal, i believe, and put a Black person like Webb in that time slot

    or they could at least put someone on after Hannity... After Hannity, the station just repeats stuff until some early morning time (5?).

    yeh... never noticed that b4... Maybe you are Black and that's y you noticed it?

    well, there you go...

    the difference between the races. But you know, Blacks don't seem to like Whites much either so it is kind of even at this point... more/less

    eh?

    Ok, but when someone comes on someone's show they act respectful because they would like to come back on, when someone comes on a show with a host they feel MUCH more comfortable with, they are willing to open up a little more. We feel like racism is over, but there is a community of rich people that have somehow used Egyptian culture to subdue the greatness of the African cultures of the world. For thousands of years things were passed down, and now the Grand Lodge of the Freemason community that gives ALL the orders is in Luxor Egypt, and passes all that (*)(*)(*)(*) to the UK and America and other protestant nations while Africa and African-American's sit in what the black community says the Freemasons call "A shallow grave" they were "knocked out by jubilee, jubili, and jubalo" or something and buried in a shallow grave. I don't understand the meaning of that, but it is obvious to me that there was a great culture on the African continent that was actually a mixture of MANY cultures, because they accepted ANY new comers that were peaceful, due to the abundance on the Nile, which was made possible to their science, which seems like it would be simple to us, but evolved for over 5,000 years so is much more complex than we think. This culture is stolen and is now passed down through the lodges.

    You can go to lodges in (*)(*)(*)(*)ing New York or even Dallas and probably find more expensive idols of the goddess Ma'at than you will find in Egypt.

    This is the Eye of Osiris, the Wings of Ma'at, the Sun (gold) and the Moon (silver), and the secrets of Math (Math = Study of Ma'at/Balance)

    You might want to take time to appreciate that there is a difference between News and Commentary while you are at it.

    I gave up watching television news a few years ago.
    And then I finally cancelled my DirecTV subscription, and gave up watching television altogether last year.

    It's very liberating, and quite refreshing.

    I have always preferred to do my own thinking.
    I don't need some suits in New York or Los Angeles telling me what I need to think, and how I am supposed to feel about things.

    Screw Fox News, and screw CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC.
    They have no objectivity, they are in the pocket of one political party or another, and they are paid shills. All of them.

    But you have to admit - no matter what network you want to mention - That the media is trying harder and harder to blur that line

    It is that because despite what people say, they want the lines blurred. infotainment is demand driven. The networks go where the ratings driven ad money takes them.

    They don't or at least they are not supposed to do that because it would be editorializing and that's not the function of a news person. A news commentator on the other hand could and would editorialize since they are paid to comment on the news.

    They are not going well for cable period. Too much competition and too many alternatives.

    I only recently started watching FOX, but I watch it with the mentality that none of them know what they are talking about, and I tweet at them about what they do wrong/racist.

    For the past month, I wake up at 4am and turn on CNNs New Day until 5am when I turn to Fox & Friends.

    What do I see?

    Every single day for more than 2 weeks, CNN is totally blocked up with nothing but commentary and speculation about the missing airplane. Nothing about the Ukraine or any world news, except for very brief excerpts always favorable to Obama.

    F&F? Everything from Hulk Hogan celebrating 30 years of WWF to Donald Trump to the family who had their daughter taken away from them to the situation in the Ukraine, mudslides in Washington and earthquake in California.

    And you want to say who's "liberal"? Why not ask who's doing everything possible to cover up the lies, deceits, and illegal activities of the Obama administration? :evil:
