whats your point? ALL of the news stations have editorial shows. btw, three of one side and a token of the other doesn't make for a balanced discussion either

So you are on the same bandwagon that anything(everything) not Fox is liberal biased? (3-1 ratio)

So where can one get news that isn't liberal biased, in your opinion?

^How about this, you big sniveling whiners, you can't get news ANYWHERE that isn't BIASED. Whether left or right.

Objective journalism is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!

Why?

Editors/Journalists decide what is important. Subjective! They decide who to interview. Subjective! They decide what parts of those interviews to include. Subjective!

We could go on and on, or do you guys just like rehashing the same boring old arguments?

Trying to match Iggy on the level of Trolldom lately?

I'm all for a good debate, but to CONTINUALLY have the same debate, with the same tired answers on both sides.........well, it's just boring.

I do like keeping this going. Especially since none of the facts are addressed, just more deflection. I just disproved the Repugs biggest arguement about liberal media controlling the news about the war and all I got in response is that Obama hates Fox News...duh!

Eventually someone is going to convince me that Fox isn't a biased propaganda machine and that all other news outlets are whining liberals. Seriously, keep trying.

By your logic, assuming I put a big "Messicans stay out" sign at the front of my neighborhood, should I be able to mow down a crew of mexican landscapers if they dare set foot on my turf? I mean, they're not U.S. citizens, and they're probably just here to sell drugs, right? Couple that with the fact that they're in the land of the inbred, racist rednecks, and they just got what they had comin' to 'em! They were asking for it! Look at the way they were dressed!

dude I really think you're going off the deep end here. But you do have the right to shoot people if they trespass on your land if it is posted. (depends on local laws..)

Just make sure it is your land.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30650051/ Whoops....

I don't understand your argument about rednecks etc.. I didn't bring that up as well. I didn't deride anyone, cept the morons on the jetskis who aren't actually from a southern or "redneck" state. They are from Colorado.

are you Ok?

the hell are you talking about? i was referring to those shows that have a panel of "experts" who tend to end up being three against one, so the one dissenting opinion just gets yelled over by the three other voices.*

Does anyone else find it interesting that for years it was acknowledged that the mainstream press had a "liberal bias" and conservatives politely complained about the lack of objectivity? Now we have one (1) prominent conservative news channel, and liberals right up to the POTUS are screaming and whining that it's destructive and bad and the devil incarnate, etc. etc.

Give it a rest already.

You knowingly drove your Astro van across the U.S. border, and eventually the Pickens County GA line, into a foreign country in an area with tons of racist rednecks with guns. Your Husband was then shot by an American. After this act you cried " HAAAAAaaalllllllpppp Governments.... " I'm getting tired of your constant crying on TV. Please proceed to your garage, lock the door behind you, start your car, and breathe deeply. You'd be doing the rest of us a favor.

Local police threw in the towel searching for the dude who shot the messicans... thanks for wasting more of our tax dollars for nothing. HAAAAAALLLLLP GOVERNMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

-or-

look I agree with you to a point, these people did something that was stupid. For years leading up to this event there had been stories on national news about crazy white "rural" folks who cling to their guns, and religion, and their antipathy for others. Apparently it was also common knowledge to stay away from the North Georgia Mountains. Tragedy, yes. But we as messicans also need to remember that we don't own the world. When in another country, you need to live by their rules(written and unwritten). The government will try to help you if something bad should befall you, but the number one job of an illegal messican is to know what the hell is going on at all times and not get into that situation.

Thank you for proving the point about alledged liberal media bias. This idea was beat into our heads by Rumsfeld and his admin. Unfortunately the leaked documents (wikileaks) have proven that all the "liberal" allegations of civilian deaths and torture have been documented by the military as true.
