And saying again. MSNBC doesnt put on a big "Fair and Balanced" slogan. Fox does, and then still distorts the facts to push the republican/conser ative agenda and claims that it doesnt put a spin to its tories at all.
Also claiming that Olbermann is as bad as O'Riley, back or any of the other pudits on fox is ridiculous. While keith isnt without his faults, if he puts out a mistake he will usually correct it, he isnt rude with people he interviews and who dont agree with him and doesnt cut off the interview if he notices that its not going in his favour, nor is he as paranoid as Beck who sees fema camps and obama socialist death squads on every corner. |
People from around the world know more about the inner workings of our country and media than our own.... how exactly? By viewing their own media who is largely state controlled in many cases? Foreign media has their own biases of America and likely reports to that effect, especially when American national interests are not always aligned with other countries'. I fully acknowledge we have our fair share of mouth-breathers here... but so do all countries, as soon as you step outside of major metropolitan areas. I fail to support the insinuation that the bulk of Americans, especially those who go to college and make something of themselves, "don't get it" by fiat of being American. And, dude... what are you talking about with Olbermann? He is the most hateful, sanctimonius, snide, bitter piece of shit with an opinion show on cable news (after Ed Schultz)! Not rude? Admits mistakes? LOLOLOL!!!
DjWhoCares: you're doing it again... you can't say Fox is a right wing propoganda tool without accepting that MSNBC/CNN is a left wing propoganda tool. You can't call Fox out for "scare tactics" and "disingenuous" claims without doing the same for MSNBC/CNN. You have no basis to just say "B-b-but Fox is the worst at it!" Says who... MSNBC hosts? Believe it or not, I watch all of them. I tune in to Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper, Hannity, O'Reilly... all of them. There is a much more elitist, condescending and angry tone to MSNBC than the rest... and people don't want to hear that shit so much, which is why the have the lowest rated shows.... actually Anderson Cooper hit the bottom rung on the ladder a couple months ago, but who's counting.
Idoru: My apoliogies... I got your response mixed up with someone else's.
