    I already knew about that, what took you so long? I can't believe you're surprised that people like Beck and myself are actually concerned about real issues instead of this faux bullsh*t you and GLAAD are fixated on. It's a challenge you know m GLAAD needs to put their money where their mouth is instead of being Pretenders.

    Not content with using virtually every prime time minute on Bridgegate (curious how much time they've spent on Benghazi), one MSNBC host is now making anti-Christie ads - something which Fox News caught hell for a while back.

    Surely, that's the problem. Most of your main news channels are obsessed with turning news in political ads.

    At least you didn't call it a news outlet.

    Bwa, ha ha ha ha...

    Look.. Personally, I LOVE FOX News. If they didn't exist, I'd have to INVENT them. But, I didn't have to. As unbelievable as it sounds, and without any prompting, they put their buffoonery on NATIONAL TV... It's a GIFT to the liberal establishment that keeps on giving.

    Of course, MSNBC doesn't bill itself as a news outlet. They say, it's "The Place For Politics".

    "Most left leaning and libs have a coronary over one channel that leans conservative".

    "Left leaning?". "Right leaning?" I guess you could say that if you define, "leaning" as an obsession.

    really, arn't you getting a little dramatic, a little precious, over the crap on TV. No one said these people had to be objective, realistic or even factual. Commentary doesn't have to be anything more than that and is usually from a biased perspective. When you come to expect something more you only have yourself to blame if you are decieved or outraged. don't watch it

    The price of a free press is that they can say anything they want too, now if you want only one version of the truth, migrate to Russia or China

    As if mocking Mitt Romney for having a black grandchild wasn't enough, MSNBC - the official Democrat network aka "channel of hate" - tweeted, then removed, another pathetic attack on Republicans. But not before the screen shots were grabbed.

    What the hell is wrong with you people? Enough of this intolerant, divisive, WILLFULLY IGNORANT bullsh*t. Either that or you lefties stop pretending you have any interest in a 'post-racial" America.

    It ain't hypocrisy if I can back it up, Jack, not that I care one whit what you think, I'll put my honor up against yours any time, dude.

    You have the evidence in front of you that my description is spot on, they just spew hate for no damn reason. But I'm not surprised you'd take more offense at me accurately describing them as a hate-spewing political arm of the Democratic party than them spewing more hateful bullsh*t.

    The only hypocrisy here is from MSNBC and anyone who refuses to criticize their pathetic behavior, even the president of the network finally recognized they've been going too far.

    It most certainly is and you're continuing it. You use examples of MSNBC which are actually quite tame but overblown by the right-wing spins on your blogs that you follow oh so closely. But it pales in comparison to what Fox News does all day long. Yes both sides are wrong - but you find fault in only one side.

    "For what,because you said so"



    No, because of some of the clips that have been posted here over time.For example, there was one incident where O'Reilly was interviewing a radio commentator. For some reason Mr. O'Reilly found cause to point his finger aggressively and calls Allen Combs a liar. I managed to find the clip and it is a lot worse than I remember. Clearly O'Reilly is trying to bully people who express an opinion he doesn't share.

    that's his role ... He's known that since the days he was teamed with Hannity . In a melodrama he's the figure that gets booed by the audience . The only thing he doesn't do to make his role more obvious is to dress in a black outfit like Snidely Whiplash and sneer at the camera .
    O'Reilly has been a bully for years . He's a poser . The lefties think he's conservative ,but conservatives know better .

    Why ? Because he gets ratings . He is the poster boy for their ' fair and balanced ' promotion. Colmes on the other hand is a self proclaimed 'progressive ' . So you want to compare the 2 networks ? Who is the conservative Colmes or Juan Williams on MSNBC ? Fox leans conservative but they have their libs who are regulars on many of the shows . MSNBC is a bunch of monolithic progressive drones.

    Quote:

    MSNBC host Touré tore into President Barack Obama over his announcement on Thursday of a program to address disproportional rates of poverty and crime among African-American youth. The MSNBC host insisted that Obama was misguided to focus on the family and “personal responsibility” as ways to address those issues. He insisted “structural racism” was to blame for crime and poverty in the African-American community.

    Touré began by praising the president for speaking to black youths in a way “only a black president could.” However, he said he was “depressed” by Obama’s outreach because even he would be unable to address many of the problems facing the black community.


    “But when the president speaks to the black community, there’s often a dive into the politics of personal responsibility,” he continued. “I cringe at that, as if effort and excuses have been the problem.”


    “No,” Touré asserted. “It’s been structural racism.”


    “The accumulated impact of historic discrimination and the advantages of white privilege and the systems perpetuate all that,” he continued. “Going into personal responsibility suggests you can make it if you try, and he knows it’s more complex than that.”
    No, it really isn't. But why try, eh?

    They aren't propagandists... they point out the propaganda the left tries to pass off as "news".

    We've been through this before... I've been close enough to things most of the last 30 years to to have very good first hand experience with raw event feeds to not trust anything I read in the newspapers OR watch on TV, or hear on the radio.....PARTICUALY by ANYONE who endorsed Obama.
