Fox is wildly biased, I'll give you that. MSNBC is just as bad or worse. And every other major TV news network is left of center, but attempt to be less obvious about it. You are better off watching more than one network, because there is no straight news anymore.

I never said you were a Russian, or Alinsky.
I said you use Alinsky's rules quite nicely. Namely #5 which states you should ridicule those who disagree with you as they'll spend all of their time refuting your claims.
And I said that saying kids from small towns are more likely to be racists sounds to me like Russian and Nazi tactics to round up political enemies. (guilt by association) And since you seem more politically aligned with the current "progressive" movement, which leans WAY Socialist.....I said you would agree with the tactic.
Fox News just has Trump speeches and commercials for ED drugs. I need neither.
Way to split that hair. Got it.
You only sound like George Wallace. Didn't call you that.

When people can pick the news that suits them instead of the actual news then people are going to be truly uninformed. Nowadays if you don't like it you just pick one you do like.....or you pick the one that thinks like you instead of seeking and finding the truth. just my .02
Do you think President Clinton was "waayy left"?
Do you think President Reagan was "waay right"?
Sure, only a fool thinks one side is right 100% of the time.
Did you vote for Bush, McCain, Romney, Daddy Bush, or Dole? If not, you probably picked a side and don't realize it. Most informed people believe one side is better than the other, even if both are terribly flawed.
I have met people who voted for little Bush, then voted for Obama 4 years later. Made me think less of them. No interest is policy positions, all about personality. Like the Trump thing, it can not be based on his policies - no one knows what they are (including Trump).
Was in grade school for Reagan. I think Clinton was actually pretty effective and definitely more centrist than the current admin. Unfortunately I don't think his wife is going to be Bill's third term.
Its the haircut! After the Trump dust up a couple of months ago, it looks like she uglified herself in order to be taken more seriously as a journalist.
By today's standard both are a big No.
Clinton was a great politician. He was pragmatic and did whatever helped his polls. No democratic politician today could do what he did with welfare or crime reform today. Not sure he believed in either, but it was good politics in the 90's. He would do fine today, pretty sure he would move way left in today's environment (then towards the middle before the election). Dude could play the game.
Reagan would not be far right enough to win the nomination today, but in 1980 he was considered very far right. Love the man.
I liked her better when you could watch and feel no need to listen. She hasn't been the same the last couple of years.
Disagree. There's definitely confirmation bias with MSNBC but at least they deal in reality. They'll argue why it's good that the sky is blue, Fox argues that the sky is green. You're welcome to your own opinion but not your own set of facts.
Not that it's at all surprising, but Shag posters who know people at PwC have said that Figurelli's offer of an internship this summer and a full-time job after graduation has been revoked.
Hey Danny: Suck it, bitch. Maybe your local H&R Block will give you a chance. Was it worth it?

My opinion is that Fox and MSNBC are both wildly biased. Pretty sure my opinion is a fact. Have you seen the Rachel Madow show? Or Lawrence O' Donnel, AL Sharpton, Chris Hayes - they are all huge leftists. It is like Sean Hannity or Fox and Friends in reverse.
The reason you think they are less bias is that you agree with what they are saying. Doesn't make them less biased. Both channels are propoganda networks, how can you not see that?
Because I'm not brainwashed. I can recognize those using facts to make an argument vs out and out lies. Because Rachel Maddow is liberal doesn't mean she's in the same universe as Hannity or O'Reilly in terms of propaganda.
When there's a study out there showing that MSNBC makes you stupid like there is about Fox, I'll listen to your pox on both of the houses argument.

World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. What’s more, the study shows that greater exposure to Fox News increases misinformation.
So the more you watch, the less you know. Or to be precise, the more you think you know that is actually false.

I watch the bbc. They have no dog in our "fight" over here so they don't sugarcoat sh!t. But you still have to be intelligent enough to separate the sh!t from the cotton seed otherwise, it's no better than a chain email.
LOL. Could debate that for days. I'll save MM the thread lock and let you win bro.
You kids have a great weekend.
