3rdnlng Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Not that I would actually entertain the idea that fox doesn't do this regularly and spend time searching for proof that 1 + 1 = 2 ... but since the thing literally presented itself to me right when you are begging for it ... and we are hear talking nonsense anyway...here it is a very recent example from your network of choice and one that is clearly worse:'' (video at bottom) http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-skewers-fox-news-for-using-edited-obama-video-to-criticize-immigration-policy/ Jon Stewart/Sean Hannity?

RI Bills Fan Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 One more time. I started a thread about the MSM not really covering the egregious security leaks and you kept saying they were no more serious than the Valerie Plame deal. I explained to your sorry ass that the leaks were coming from high up in the administration and were obviously for political reasons. The Plame leak was from Richard Armitage in the State Dept. who didn't agree with Bush's foreign policy. No harm was actually done to Plame. The latest leaks here could harm many people including you or me. You kept telling me that my motives were strictly partisan. When I posted an article about Barbara Feinstein's indigation over the leaks to point out that I wasn't being partisan you tried to twist it all around. The leaks are very serious and the MSM lack of reporting and disinterest in holding this administration's feet to the fire is deplorable. Can you imagine the schitstorm if Bush had openly targeted terrorists with drones and released the kind of classified info that this administration has? I haven't heard much about the Patriot Act or Gitmo in the last 3 1/2 years. I started a thread about the MSM not covering the leaks and I get crap here that the Valerie Plame deal was much worse. Certain posters here think it's ok to throw the people that helped us under the bus, but for someone in the State Dept. that disagreed with the Administration's foreign policy, to out someone that wasn't even undercover was worse than getting the good doc who helped us get OBL and the guy who infiltrated Al Qaeda and saved a terrorist attack into deep schit. I'm posting this again just to show what a hypocrite you are 3rd. So AGAIN! Either provide the link to where I said any of the things you're claiming I said or STFU.

Bush For Playing Golf The Liberal Washington Post Attacking Obama Why Aren't The Leaks Bigger News? Healthcare Trade-Off 3rd a diarrhetic poster to be sure.

MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I can have a beer with anyone I'm really not a confrontational person offline when it comes to this stuff and I like getting into discussion. My criticism of you from where I sit (at my computer and not at a table w/ a beer) is you are too passionate about the daily media war...that is to say the surface level "pure politics" and the media's "reaction" (which is really just functioning as designed...a for-profit wedge to separate American voters from each other based on things they are willing to pay attention to as opposed to things they should be forced to pay attention to). It's noise. It doesn't matter. And most of all it isn't surprising or interesting IMO. Now we can all discuss it from time to time but the line between politics and policy is eviscerated by daily cable news and hurts the important discussions we should have as a country and even creates a situation where people in Congress lose their damn minds too. If everyone would just fight the extremes in their own party (note: extreme does not just mean race centric people or religious fanatics...it means no-compromise "I'm definitely right" Congressional officials) and denounce them the country would be much better...but legitimizing the girly high school aspects of coverage from both sides is counter productive (I believe both sides are equally guilty...and respond to the other fueling fire). And the bottom line is people from both sides (and IMO more so on the right at the moment) could use a little humility. If ever you become so convinced you are unquestionably right about something...it should trigger some mechanism in the depths of your brain that alerts you to the fact you are probably wrong. This is an enlightened post. mainstream media is basically the same thing as soap operas ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthcare Trade-Off Most topics of any poster and at least half of which are (at least titled/presented as) what I consider substanceless distraction. Almost all of which are designed to be hostile attack topics. And while you can pat yourself on the back for not wanted to throw women and doctors in jail over abortion most of your opinions...which you may well have formed on your own and not been spoon fed via conservative media IDK I don't know you....walk the party line loudly and proudly. This is what I see of you. Am I absolutely correct on this? Probably not...is it generally what I see? Yes. So, my criticism of the MSM for malfeasance, ignoring important stories and making schit up carry no substance? A major part of the voting public gets their news from the MSM. Do you see how that could be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey if you are watching MSN you may not know that Obama plays golf...you should. Thank me later. If you had bothered to read it you would see that I was making fun of the situation. Axelrod had criticized H.W. Bush for playing golf when the economy was so bad. Axelrod, you know, the guy who is Obama's chief political advisor. Granted, it certainly wasn't some monumental happening, but I thought it was somewhat humorous. Nice job of taking that one thread and trying to have that represent the other threads I started.

(although I troll here frequently) That said, anyone who cannot recognize this as a primo example of the MSM (Big 3 Networks, NY Times, LA Times, WAPO, CNN, PMSNBC) being so in the bag for ANY Democrat and so vehemently opposed to even the most moderate of GOP candidates, then that person is simply living a lie.
