Not at all; I just expect a little consistency. Joel Send a noteboard - 26/05/2010 06:40:07 PM
If you just objected to biased news you would object the MSNBC and the NYT but all you really object to is there being an outlet for conservative views. Let me guess you hate talk radio but love The Daily Show and the Huffington Post. I know you have found enough "evidence" to support your bias but that really doesn't change anything.

So you stand by the argument that is the left’s turn to spend money we don’t have because it stimulates the economy. Where do you believe most of the money

I know it is fact you like to ignore but the war had around 80% support when it started and was being supported by most of major news outlets. It was losing and giving Iraq to Al Quaeda that the right opposed and that Many on Fox supported.

Where do I believe most of the money? Slow down, use your words. ALL of them. ;)

I frequently disagree WSJ articles folks post here, especially their editorial pages, but at least their editorials are clearly LABELED as such, and still usually consistent. Actually, I don't spend much time with any of those outlets. I occasionally read a NYT article if someone links it, but don't always agree; I usually watch links to the Daily Show people post here for pure entertainment (NOT news, though I do think they get things right more often than I'd like. ) I did look at Huffington Post earlier today, but that was because of Larrys thread on the MRE brownies.

I know the war had 80% support at the start; that's why the spineless Senate Dems let themselves be terrorized into voting for it. Prohibition had 80% support in the teens, too; didn't make it a good idea. Faux "News" openly and shamelessly backed the war whether it was popular or not because of who initiated it, and I expect better from a news source. Just as I don't expect them to do an about face on editorializes masquerading as news in support of wartime deficit spending the moment their partys out of power. News sources shouldn't HAVE parties. But then, for all the crap Rather got for calling FL for Gore in 2000, no one ever says anything about the Faux "News" political director later calling "undecided" FL for his cousin George Bush before anyone else did.
