Maybe Kenneth just took that out of context; as we know they like to imply on FOXNews that Barack Obama is pretty much terrible at everything, perhaps they were just saying that as a impersonator of a Muslim terrorist, Mr. Obama would in fact do a *terrible* job!

"I remember FOX calling President Obama a terrorist, Muslim, and impersonator."

Really? Fox called President Obama a terrorist, Muslim, and impersonator? If you can find me one instance where FOX called President Obama any of those things, I'll send you $10,000.

"The difference, of course, John and Lauri both, is that Beck, Hannity and their ilk are not just taking our leaders to task for their failures but also promoting hatred, bigotry, sexism and similar disgusting behaviors, while Olbermann, Maddow and the like are actively pushing for a better America."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! (deep breath inward) AAAAHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! (gasp, gasp, pant pant) teehee…heehee…tee hee hee hee hee ha ha ha ha HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA…

I get mine from John Stewart's The Daily Show…that is when I bother to pull it up on my computer. My television is only on so the grand can watch one of her princess movies when she is visiting.

I only read headlines on occasion from a variety of sources…note that the highly touted Rapture hasn't occurred yet and go back to life. I see enough idiocy there, some of which I create myself to bother with what some over confident ,over paid, opinion emitter has to say.

Do you know what Beck actually said? You know what? I don't even want to know. Whatever it was, I'm sorry you had to hear it. (But … do you watch/listen to his show?)

"The difference between Fox News and the other networks is that Fox News doesn’t claim to be something it’s not."

I'm sorry, have you missed the Faux News tagline? "Fair and balanced." I do believe that IS in fact a false claim. They also claim to be "news."

Sorry, you must have missed the part where it says Olbermann is just as guilty of the same things as Beck, etc.

The difference, of course, John and Lauri both, is that Beck, Hannity and their ilk are not just taking our leaders to task for their failures but also promoting hatred, bigotry, sexism and similar disgusting behaviors, while Olbermann, Maddow and the like are actively pushing for a better America.

You don't see Olbermann talking about how much racial harmony there was back when all the black people were slaves, do you? And yet Glenn Beck said that very thing today on his show.

Our media has more propaganda than any other country, except maybe North Korea. Just like many North Koreans, many Americans don't realize that they are being brainwashed.

This article is right on the mark. These news networks are nothing more than propaganda machines. Whenever a new network tell you what you think, instead of simply telling you what events occurred, it is nothing more than propaganda. America has mastered it better than Nazi Germany and it is amusing that a lot of people don't realize the extent of propaganda.

Someone also stated that there is a separation between personalities and the news. I have to say that such a statement is ridiculous. If your are called a "News Network", then you should be airing balanced news. You should not be airing personalities who are full of propaganda, ranting, and extremism who present bias commentary as news. That is what these so called news personalities do, they look as if they are presenting news when they are really just brainwashing people. This includes both FOX and MSNBC.

Someone also stated that the personalities on FOX present themselves as conservatives, and not moderates who are trying to coverup their leftward lean. I would have to respond to that by saying that political leaning in the media is not the problem. The misrepresentation of issues, purposely so, is the problem. I remember FOX calling President Obama a terrorist, Muslim, and impersonator. I don't consider that a political leaning, I consider that baseless propaganda.

Okay, you guys need to stop now. I’m going to leave the comments to this post open in case anyone else has anything to say here, but (and no offense to either of you, please), you guys need to take your exchange elsewhere. Feel free to arrange here where that is–but that’s it, please. Thanks for understanding. (It’s a good exchange; I’m sure people will be interested in following it.)
