    All I asked you to explain is how you deduced that I must be a liberal (and what clothing I was wearing but I really wasn't expecting to answer that.) It's alright to admit if you made a mistake.

    Hmm. Let's try an experiment.

    Pull my finger. Are you smart enough to deduce what I had for lunch too?

    Your own words allowed for a reasonable deduction. Apparently I was not the only one to see this. Followup posts whining about it seem to reinforce it all the more. Perhaps the problem is not everyone else?

    And to think, you could have used followup posts to declare you are not and why. Apparently you hadn't considered that ;)

    Sigh. It must be so easy for you to always be right, to know for certain that someone's question is really a whine or that you can pass judgement on a person's political stripes based on a single comment about the present administration in power or that you see a different point of view as a "problem". I wish it were like that for me but in my world I'm afraid to say it just isn't.

    I'd wish you a good day but you would probably think that I'm wishing you a bad one so I won't. And with that I leave this thread for good.

    What is more telling, to me, is that Bill O'Reilly is still on the air.

    The producers of these liberal moonbat "journalists" used these minor scandals are excuses to take out the trash.

    Bill O'Reilly's ratings kept him on the air during and after the scandal.

    What this means to me is that there is a serious crisis facing the liberal media. The public seems unwilling to put up with them any longer.

    exactly...the non-liberal media consistently produces higher ratings than the liberal (just how is katie couric doing??)...the public is tired of all the liberal right hating media out there, and is starting to tune out...in the mean time, drudge consistently sets new records...not that he is conservative, but because he rides the fence and is non-liberal.

    lol, darn I didn't mean to leave this thread because I knew it would get sidetracked...

    Anyway back on my point which has been steadily consistent from the beginning of this thread unlike most everyone else here (seems to be a disease going around).

    My point being that there is liberal media and there's conservative media. So please stop trying to hold up Fox as if it were the only centrist news outlet and the "Fair & Balanced" moniker wasn't an inside joke between Murdoch and friends.

    Example..... I'd really like to know how a network can claim to provide fair and balanced coverage for all sides yet the democratic debates and aftermath have been going on for 2 days and Fox News hasn't covered it AT ALL while other networks are carrying it nearly 24x7... You can't even say Fox is being fair and balanced and not wanting to give it too much air time because they haven't covered it AT ALL.

    I mean if you were watching Fox and depended on it for "Fair & Balanced" information you wouldn't even know the debates were going on :D... laughable.

    It's not even on their website http://www.foxnews.com/

    After you read all the headlines at the top and notice not a single mention of the democratic debates, scroll down to the bottom and look at the subject content of all of the top shows on Fox.

    Talk about media blackout :D

    So again... I back my point up with facts while you spout rhetoric Mr. Spencer. I'll wait to see if you again try to gloss over what I've said here with mindless drivel and talking points or if you'll actually address what I said.

    Wait, nevermind why hold my breath. you won't address what I've said here because you can't.

    George, there's nothing in that post to address.

    You claim something, and you present no facts to backup your claim. I could just as well convince at Yankee's fan of the qualities of the Mets lineup.

    You see FoxNews, and you see a bias to the right. I see FoxNews, I see articles slanted both ways. I see CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN/PBS and I see articles slanted only one way.

    I don't know how you can miss FoxNews coverage of the Democratic debates. It's right there in the FoxNews video corner at the top right of the web page.

    And anyway, it wasn't Fox that kicked themselves out of the Democratic debates. It was the Democrats who kicked out Fox because the Democrats cannot stand the idea of an independent press.

    I'll call your bluff and raise you an imageshack
    [​IMG]

    Again, like I said you couldn't you didn't.

    Saying I claim without facts doesn't make it so. Anyone reading this can see I've made solid points with facts to back it up.

    The dem debate IS NOT being covered by Fox.
    It IS NOT on the fox website.

    Want irony? You even tried to back pedal and say the dems kicked them out. But wait... wouldn't that mean you KNOW what I'm saying is true then? That they ARE NOT covering it?

    Which is it sir? Are they covering it or were they kicked out and that's their excuse for not covering it?

    Here let me give you a hand, you're stumbling all over yourself. :D

    I'm assuming you are watching fox 24/7 to confirm this. Right? Did you watch the debate when it was on TV?

    I can't imagine why we need 2 days of coverage of a debate that no one will remember in a week. Wasn't the highlight of the debate, Biden saying "Yes" to a question about him being longwinded? Excitement!

    No the highlight was when they asked Obama what he would do if the US were attacked right now and he were the president.

    See... that's what happens when you watch fair and balanced news... you end up misinformed.

    I didn't watch fox, I just read a few excerpts and it was painfully dull.

    I'm asking again; did you watch the debates when they were on?

    Indeed I did. What does that have to do with Fox NOT covering them?

    Or are you trying to change the subject away from that?

    If you saw the debate, why do you need Fox to tell you what you thought of it? Does having hannity and colmes drone on and on about, really help your interpretation of events?
