Depends on when they watch. If all they watch is Beck/Hannity/Goofy Morning Crew, then yeah, they're pretty damn biased. If they watch the actual news blocks (Shep/Wallace et al) then they'd see what the studies have actually proven...that Fox News is the most centrist of all the cable and broadcast networks.bigdaddy2003;817412 wrote:I love when people say Fox is biased towards conservatives and Republicans. Makes you wonder if they have ever actually watched a minute of the channel.

It is slanted conservatively that's for sure but that's not really a problem with me. My problem is that they (and not just them other networks as well) tend to mix their actual news with the commentary and seem to almost deliberatly play the commentary off as news.fish82;817454 wrote:Depends on when they watch.

No, I won't because I'm not of the opinion that all of our problems stem from the left. Plenty of them do sure, but I also hold a lot of the blame at the right's feet.No, I'm 21.
Your tune will change when you have a career and see how much you don't make a year because of low life's that keep the left in office

President Nixon was called dick every day he while he was president. No one was suspended or forced to appolagize. It was OK because he was a Republican.Heretic;818970 wrote:Apparently one of MSNBC's guys was suspended for referring to Obama as a "dick". Damn liberal...

Looks like there is at least one who didn't get it.Ty Webb;819076 wrote:Maybe because that was his name?

I kid. He didn't actually call him one...he said he was "acting like a ****" during the press conference. While it might not be the classiest statement of the week...it was 100% accurate.
Heard that too. I'd hate to be the poor schmuck in the control room today!stlouiedipalma;819503 wrote:Actually, Halpern got an assist from the production team on Morning Joe on this one.

He even stated at one point "my career is over".
The sad truth is, even though it was an inappropriate choice of words, he was spot on correct.

Perhaps MSNBC/NBC’s policy deems it offensive to say vulgar things about the President of the United States, but attacking the leading Republican candidate using old, tired, stereotypical and offensive comments is just fine.
