Ding, ding, ding . . . . and we have a winner!

And let's not overlook NPR, National Public Radio, arguably the most in-depth balanced source available.

You have got to be kidding.

Predictable response from someone who feeds on a steady diet of rightwing lies and propaganda.

Anything that doesn't conform is part of the great liberal communist conspiracy. :rolleyes:

Well they do lean conservative a bit, but it's more of a nitpick of mine. They just reflect the conservatism in modern US politics.
Yeah, they've been drifting that way over the past few years and doing more and more fluff.

My theory, they're bending over backwards to be "balanced" out of perrenial fears of losing federal support.

Now that it looks like it might well happen, maybe they'll get back to being more responsible and realistic.

At least Neal Conan and Robert Siegel still occasionally hold the bullshitters' feet to the fire. Nina Totenberg's a treasure, and Terry Gross, the best interviewer on the planet, presents some revelatory no nonsense programs. She's a breath of Fresh Air. :wink:

To borrow your phrase, I'll "consider the source" on that comment.

Is your participation in this forum now limited to just following me from thread to thread and posting one line attempts at failed sarcasm? It's caught my attention that's all you've done in your last six posts.

Maybe you'd like to try posting something of substance for a change, if that's possible.

And MORE Fox Lies:
CNN Correspondent Goes Ballistic Over Fox News Libya/Human Shield Report


CNN correspondent Nic Robertson has a bone or two to pick with Fox News, which reported today that he and other journalists were used by the Libyan Ministry of Information as human shields, in a successful bid to block a coming, second attack on a compound in Tripoli, supposedly controlled by Qaddafi.
"[T]his allegation is outrageous and it's absolutely hypocritical. When you come to somewhere like Libya, you expect lies and deceit from a dictatorship here," Robertson told Wolf Blitzer. "You don't expect it from the other journalists."
Fox claims their own correspondent, Steve Harrigan, declined to accept the invitation from the Libyans for fear of being used as a propaganda tool, and perhaps a human shield. But Robertson claims Fox did indeed send an employee on the trip -- not a regular news guy -- and that Harrigan has been asleep on the job since hostilities began.

You've been part of that community for almost 4 years now. No need to try and play self righteous because you were called out for using an offensive word.

You could just go away of your own accord. Don't worry, we'll get along just fine without you.

But if you need help, I'm sure Admin will be happy to oblige your request.
