When I do I just end up hollering at the TV when they do things like run Harry Reid's quote "...this war is lost" without the contextual beginning of that sentence, "If we continue to follow the president's policies..."<BR/><BR/>They do this all the time, setting up a straw man that they can then knock over with ease.<BR/><BR/>I think the Democratic candidates should go on Fox. But I can see why they wouldn't. They spend 20 minutes answering slanted questions and then for the next two news cycles (or more), their words are taken apart and attacked for things they never said, like Reid.<BR/><BR/>I try to make up my own mind about things like Fox, but once you've proven yourself to be a dishonest flack, it'll be a very long time before you get me to watch again without a great deal of skepticism, even cynicism.David Terrenoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482864941636273068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748145438074720133.post-65528559315043388022007-10-24T16:16:00.000-04:002007-10-24T16:16:00.000-04:00Have you ever seen how Bill O'Reilly treats guests...Have you ever seen how Bill O'Reilly treats guests who do not agree with him? He cuts off their microphones. How fair and balanced is that? Hannity talks over people who do not agree with him. They love Coulter because she acts like an idiot. I have listened to the hatred she spews. Does she like anyone? Jews should be perfected? All muslims should become Christians. This is the United States of America. It was founded on religious freedom the people were denied and now the "Christians" like Coulter want to take us back to King George's era.When I was a kid, people didn't go around saying they were Christian. We were Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics, Episcopalians, etc. Now you have to say you are "Christian". It should not matter, as long as you treat everyone the way you want to be treated.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167727261390589918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748145438074720133.post-37542790221608256942007-10-24T16:08:00.000-04:002007-10-24T16:08:00.000-04:00O'Reilly intimated that Blacks could not think for...O'Reilly intimated that Blacks could not think for themselves and had to follow people like Jackson and Sharpton.

Fox is a racist network, so I cannot speak about that network without mentioning race.

I read my original post over again and couldn't find any reference to race.<BR/><BR/>But, at any rate, I'm a pretty avid FOX viewer and don't recall ever hearing any commentators say that blacks are inferior.<BR/><BR/>If O'Reilly did make a reference to blacks thinking for themselves rather than blindly following "black leaders" like Sharpton and Jackson, I still don't see how you would preceive that as meaning blacks are inferior in some way. <BR/><BR/>Please, show me an example of Hannity, O'Reilly, or Coulter expressing "the fact that they feels blacks are inferior" -- because I don't think you can.<BR/><BR/>And, Robbins, Sarandon, Penn, etc., have all criticized Fox news, to great reception from the left.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411291904861537611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748145438074720133.post-36789495367929531442007-10-24T15:13:00.000-04:002007-10-24T15:13:00.000-04:00I say that I am a democrat and I do watch Fox on r...I say that I am a democrat and I do watch Fox on regular basis just to see what sort of nonsense they are spewing. I also watch Hannity & Colmes, and I have seen Ann Coulter more times that I want to remember. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that democrats dislike FOX because of Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, etc., because that is ludicrous. I guess you also agree with O'Reilly in saying that African-Americans are finally thinking for themselves, instead of listening to the likes of Jackson and Sharpton. For your information, African-Americans can think for themselves and have been doing so for a long time. The reason it seems the majority of African-Americans vote for the democrats is because the republicans such as Romney, McCain, <BR/>Guiliani and Thompson cannot be so bothered to even go to a debate that's audience was mainly black. <BR/><BR/>Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter, etc. make no bones about the fact that they feels blacks are inferior. I make no bones about the fact that I believe FOX is inferior.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167727261390589918noreply@blogger.com
