Originally posted by WulebgrFox News is clearly awful and reactionary - actually those shows where they deliberately front a tough Republican up with a weak liberal would be perfectly acceptable if they just dropped the "Fair and Balanced" act along and merged their news arm back into Entertainment - but its Entertainment arm is surprisingly left-wing. 24 is a classic example: of the five seasons its had, only one has had used left-wing terrorists as its villains, and nearly all of the others have followed anti-corporate themes.
FOX does a tolerable job of reporting. They are easily the 8th or 9th best network in the USA. When it comes to their opinion shows, however, FOX is horrid.

Originally posted by AmauroteRight-wing news, left-wing dramas. How much more balanced can you get?

yeah, what are the chances that fox is the only network that tells the truth and it's the rest of the networks that lie? probably about the same chance that christianity is the one true religion and the rest of religion is a lie! evidently the best way to find out the truth is just to believe the person that is trying hardest to convince you.

Originally posted by PeachyLook who is talking. The Palestinian who is always talking about the annihilation of the Israeli state. Come to think of it. That's all you Palestinians do is talk and whine to the UN cause you sure as hell can't do anything. You remind me of some cell-block b*tch.
And you can never afford to be civilised.

Originally posted by slimjimi assumed that you were making such a comment in jest, with the charming dr. suess tale of the star-bellied sneetches in mind. then i realised that dr. suess is probably a bit beyond your literary capabilities. as it turns out though, i do not have cable. i have a cable internet connection and could have cable television for nothing, but i choose not to because television is mostly garbage. there are other sources of information besides what is spoon fed to you by propagandists.
How would you know? You probably don't have cable since you can't afford a star.

"April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers."
