Well, certainly the exclamation points make it so. I take it you did *not* catch the new Rachel Maddow show last night then baby?

Living in fear I ain't. That whole color coding my fear factor shit from Fox News, yeah, you can keep it.

the exclamation points are there because i had to repeat myself! like i am having to do again!

i did not get this information from Fox News or any other tv show! i got this information from real live, red blooded, crime fighting LEO's.

sorry, was it too much reality for you?

No one is really surprised by the vicious attacks on Palin, are they?

And the key difference is that this attack on Obama is just one web page, which anyone can make one of those.

Right?

While the "feeding frenzy" attacks against Palin are coming from the mainstream media, which is acting the part of an Obama attack dog.

It let me copy and paste. This was under a heading titled "Obama The Anti-Christ". And people are surprised at the "vicious" attacks on Palin?

So, by mainstream media, do you mean Fox News, Sean Hannity, Rush, O'Reilly, Glenn Beck?

Funny, I must have missed it, because I haven't heard them act like attack dogs toward her.

Coming to think of it, I don't think I've heard any of them say anything even remotely negative about her, much less a feeding frenzy.

Seems pretty fair and balanced to me.

When did Hannity, Rush, O'Reilly, or Beck become classified as journalists?

Edited to add: Name 2 or more folks on MSNBC that are conservative, as opposed to the full lineup of liberals they have in primetime?

MSNBC didn't start out being partisan. They became so as a response to Fox. I guess because some people need like-minded people to pat them on the back to reinforce their beliefs. Much easier than trying to understand other viewpoints. Interesting that you would choose two or more, when you know what the answer is. Name me just one at Fox.

Fox News IS fair and balanced. It balances out CBS, NBC, ABC, Reuters, [C]linton [N]ews [N]etwork et al.

I really don't want to get into this ridiculous argument that the entire media is biased.

Assuming that's true, how does having a network that's biased in the other direction help anything?

Wouldn't it be better if they rise above the fray and set an example?

I have no problem with MSNBC having the primetime programming they have, just don't try to suggest that Olberman or Maddow are journalists, just like Hannity and O'reilly are not journalists. My issue with MSNBC, is that even during their regular new programming they show an obvious bias, for example the day that Palin was announced the "Breaking News Announcement" at the bottom of the screen had the comment "How many houses does this add to the McCain Ticket?".

Hope that clears up my position on the matter.
