Sarah Palin to be the newest member of Faux News

**livefreeorDIE** · January-17-10, 03:33 PM

I can't help but wonder about those who claim to be open minded and tolerant show such vehemence with the negitive comments about other opinions. While it certainly can be said the Fox news has a somewhat flamboynient presentation of the news, it appears that they represent more of the core thinking and opinions of a majority of Americans.
The same cannot be said of the other major news stations that air the opinions of those whose veiws range from left leaning to pure socialistic idiology.
That being said, it is my opinion that those of either major political party influence the news in America to fulfill their own statist adgendas which can be shown to be contrary to both the letter and intent of the Consitution of the United States.

And you're basing this on what?

Even if this is true as you allege, does a congruence of opinion result in fact? Should we weigh the off-the-cuff opinions of uneducated Americans as equal to those who spend entire careers studying issues like macroeconomics, climate change, and fiscal policy?

Care to name names?

So, if a so-called majority think that way, it must be correct?

Just a guess, but I would say they couldn't do much worse than the educated folks that brought us the recession and discredited science of those promoting distruction of the Republic [[Note, not Democracy).
By the way, I have many family members who are scientists in the hard sciences, not the voodoo economics referenced above and they are in not buying the disinformation being pushed by any of the recent Administrations.

As to your other question, just whose names are you interested in and who are you planning to turn them into?

I'll certainly agree that they are all full of the same tired lies meant to deprive us of our liberties.

Sorry ghettopalmetto, I answered in your quote area

Why does the FOXnews website look like it was designed in 1999 by a bunch of 8th graders?

Maybe because it was designed in 1999 by a bunch of 8th graders.

Because you're blind. CNN, MSNBC and FoxNews websites all look almost identical with just different content.

All the major networks are spewing the same crappy propaganda and limited view of the news, just a sligh little spin on the stories toward their political perspective. The major networks are all a mindflush, and don't give me this Faux news crap. All the networks are on the same page.

Just flip from ABC to CBS to CNN to NBC to Fox to CBS, it's all the same crap.
Its a coordinated media effort to shape public opinion based upon AP stories that are recycled by every single news network.

**ejames01** · January-26-10, 05:15 PM

I agree with that. It is almost like professional wrestling. They all tell their audience what they want to hear and it is all fake.
