CNN,MSN,and the Nets are a joke...

If 50 people showed in Washington to protest the war or banks or wall street it would be first segment news.


in February 2003, during the lead-up to the Iraq war, CNN aired a two-hour special report, “Voices of Dissent,” which was devoted to an anti-war protest organized by International ANSWER, a radical left-wing organization. The following month on March 22, 2003 CNN broadcast 38 separate reports on another anti-Iraq war demonstration. On the other hand, CNN personalities recently labeled anti-Obama protesters 'insane.' There’s no way that Sanchez’s claim, that CNN “covered it as well, probably less than we covered” the Tea Party, can be accurate.

How they can't report on a story ACORN fraud when they are eligible for 4 billion dollars of your tax money is beyond me..

They are either too stupid or complicit
lolly.gag.her
Dems watch CNN ~ anti rush limbaugh and co
Rep watch FOX ~ anti barack obama (but its not because he is black)

so that will fall into the catagory of what you are is what you watch
that might be painting a broad stoke of everyone but it is what it is

I don't watch a lot of televised news coverage. However I don't recall seeing a single "headline" on CNN's web page related to this story - until their response to FOX's ad.

How did you guess?

How do you not cover the ACORN scandal? 4 Billion of Tax Payers fund available and it isn't newsworthy?

Especially since Obama told us all during the election how important it was to be a community organizer


Each network was offered the ACORN tapes before FOX and passed..



Zealous Donkey
The liberal bias in the media is nothing new. What is new is that all of the MSM have dropped all pretense to being objective. It is not uncommon for them to flaunt their support for Obama and his policies.

I don't know what effect this will have in the long run. I do think the general public is catching on that they aren't getting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth from the media and that the media has an agenda one and the same as the president.

As this sinks in the MSM will continue their decline, until the pretense is dropped altogether and we have an offical State Run media, aside from PBS.

Fox News is on track to have its most-watched year ever, showing significant ratings growth despite coming off a high-flying election season.

With the second quarter coming to a close, Fox News averaged about the same number of viewers as the top three other cable news networks combined. And while rivals like CNN (-22%) and MSNBC (-18%) took hits following last quarter’s Inauguration-fueled boost, Fox News (-3%) remained nearly steady.

Compared with last year, Fox News (averaging 2.1 million viewers, 509,000 adults 25-54 quarter-to-date) is up 35% over last year in primetime viewers and 48% in the demo. CNN (805,000 viewers, 210,000 in demo) was -16% in viewers and -29% in the demo. MSNBC (787,000 viewers, 259,000 in demo) climbed 15% in viewers and about on par, -3%, in the demo. And CNN Headline News (553,000, 201,000) showed very strong growth, up 39% and 37%, respectively, and is on track for its best second quarter yet.

I think the MSM saw how successful FoxNews has been going the "drop all pretenses, hyper-partisan route" so to try and not go the way of the dodo like newspapers they are copying the format.

It would be nice to have ONE unbiased news source.

For straight news I think Fox is unbiased.

Their 'bias' is just in their commentators.

When it's news times, it's 90% "White girl missing let's all focus on creepy guy X" etc.

every news station is much more about commentators than straight news anyway. When people think FoxNews, they think Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly....not whoever does the boring, old regular news. Same for MSNBC. People think Matthews and Olbermann not whoever does the boring stuff.

That's probably a huge part of the problem....

Pretty much all of Fox and MSNBC as well as a lot of CNN is unwatchable.

The only shows I watch are Meet the Press and George Stephanopoulos (and sometimes the McLaughlin Group... but don't tell anybody).

Oh, yeah, I've seen his show too. It's pretty good. I like that he's a smart guy and he listens to his guests and tries to get interesting information out of them. I mean, it sounds laughable when I have to spell out in such simple terms what makes a good news show, but so many fail to do to the obvious.

Well if you want to really want to save time, just listen to Rush Limbaugh for all your news.


He spends his weekends watching news programs etc and can break them all down to simple sound bites that are accurate 98.7% of the time.


I haven't watched a news program or read a paper in years because of this time saving technique.

That just blew me away when I read that. I had you pictured as a fun loving guy who at most would think those guys were just a bunch of loud mouth stoopid f**ks. The only thing I can think of is that you were trying to express your disdain for the trio and ended up slapping waay too much paint on the picture.

I listen to rush while I drive mostly for entertainment and there are times when I get 'embarrassed' for him and have to change the channel. other times I laugh out loud at the things that he says. but, hate.

tell me you were drinking sake when that was laid to print

For the record, it's the most retarded large-scale protest in American history. While Fox was nice enough to tell a bold-faced-lie about the other stations failing to cover it, it's really an embarrassment to humanity that this protest took place. Have you seen some of the signs these people were carrying? It was literally a protest by the retards.

FWIW, I did see 3 black people walking down the street in the very start of that video, but it's pretty obvious the only people who are thinking clearly and unbiased these days are the white man.

I think it is important to watch both CNN and Fox because when you mesh the two together you get perfect news. Two wrongs make a right ftw in this case.

LOL. He is not asking questions of our government. He makes things up that have no basis in reality. I am still waiting for those FEMA camps to pop up. Most of what comes out of his mouth is complete BS. He is not asking the tough questions....he gets on TV and says things like "Obama has a deep seated hatred for white people." The guy is a bi-polar clown.....laughing about something one minute, then sobbing hysterically about some delusional dystopian fantasy the next.

There are plenty of smart, conservative commentators who have poked Obama's healthcare plan full of holes or taken him to task for bailing out too many people. Those are legitimate issues to raise with how our government is operating. Propping up fantasies like Obama was born in Kenya or Obama hates white people or Obama wants to kill your grandmother with the guns he takes away from you is not "asking questions". It's appealing to the lowest common denominator and taking advantage of the stupidity of people who are angry and dont know where to project that anger....something Fox News's commentators seem to have cornered the market on.

Beck is an attention-whore these days. Look at his statements last night on Katie Couric.

Beck said he may have voted for Hillary Clinton and that John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama.

He just likes to say things that will stir the pot.

He does the job that all media should be doing:

Asking who are these guys running the goverment - and that scares you because he is one of the few to actually tell the people about the ass clowns Obama has in his government.

Do you not like him talking about ACORN or his CZARS, or how SEIU has its hand in politics...?

or are you worried that everyday people will actually now vet obama when they missed the chance during the election cycle? That maybe he has woken them up to the things that the people here in this forum were concerned about before the election?

You know way back.when, ..Back.. Back when he was painted as a moderate Democrat by your Liberal Media Friends?

I listen to Rush often, heard this show, heard what he said and what other are reporting he said.

The two things are not equal.


But Rush is the perfect barometer to test if a person is willing to think for themselves or just listen to their political side tell them what to think.


I have listened to Rush for over 15 years, he speaks for 3 hours a day, almost every work day, (for a paltry $50,000 an hour)

Yet someone reports one sound bite taken out of context or meaning and try to pigeon hole Rush into some caricature that doesn't exist. You have to be crazy to believe that a person like that would have the largest audience in the history of radio for over a decade.


But if you are cool thinking that you 'know' Rush after listening to a few reports by people that don't like him...then I guess you aren't open to experiencing one of the best 3 hours in radio everyday.


I would think that as a person in the limelight of society, you should know better than most that just because there is a story or report about a person and what he supposedly said, it doesn't make it true. If I wanted to show someone just a few snippets of your blogs, I can make you look like anything I want, from racist to nazi to homophobe to Hellmuth lover.
