RED EYE on fox news is an awesome show. Yeah, it's more for mind-numbing entertainment than it is for actual important news stories... but it is excellent. Good banter, hot females, excellent guests = success!

IMO that show is awful, I can't stand the host.

FoxNews is only funny when it doesn't try to be.

In order for someone to explain something to you, they need to know how you're seeing it.

If I don't think CNN is biased, how would I begin to explain that. All I can say is that Boo Boo said a few pages back that they were "in the tank for Obama."

With only that to go on, I'd say this...

1. Logical folks are in the tank for Obama, because if he fails the globoeconomic strucutre is absolutly screwed.

2. The press was absolutly abused by the Bush Administration. On a side note, whenever you're denying the press rights and access, its undoubtedly because you're up to some illegal activity. The last guy to treat the press like the enemy was Nixon.

If a new guy was in town who called me by name, and repudiated the actions of the last guy, I'd probably like him too.

3. There is this thing called a honeymoon stage. They give people a break when their just getting started. We're within the first 100 days.

4. I actually watch cable news quite a bit. I generally prefer Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow so I'm usually on MSNBC. But I eat lunch in a place that plays the other two stations regularly. I tend to see a favorability with philisophical leanings (especially in the context of the last 8 years) but I don't think their in the tanks.

Heres what they're out for blood on as I see it:

Bagram.

Wall Street Bail out and no auto company bail out (thats a fox news construct).

Refusual to reinstate the automatic weapons ban.

Secratary Choices

(I'm forgetting something I'll edit it later)

Again, in the first 100 days to have three consistent things their attacking him on is fairly average.

You're just so cursory its hard to take you seriosuly.

He made his name by lifting things? As if he did nothing else and there isn't a science and a discipline to "lifting things."

And how did Nixon "**** everything up?" He was one of the better presidents of the modern era.

counting this one? once.

Give what a ****ing rest?

I should give not taking you so seriously a rest?

That sounds antithetical to what you asked above really.

I don't want you to be, though i think you might already be there.

A certain scandal comes to mind. Also, he was sort of gung ho about the whole war thing.

So yeah, Christopher Hitchens is my new hero.





I remember watching the first clip with family when it was on TV, and they pretty much cheered Hannity on.

"Yeah Sean you nailed him"

Hannity is so full of sh*t, he pulls all of these dramatics because his fanbase loves it, but he's made it clear to me that the southern, christian neo-con definition of "nailing" somebody in an argument basically translates to being more loud and obnoxious than whoever you're arguing against, regardless of how much smarter the other person is.

This is how arguments are "won" at FoxNews. In fact, it's pretty clear that all of these pundits are hired strictly for their ability to be loud, obnoxious douchebags, they're neither required or expected to even know anything by the people that employ them, that would be boring, and that's why FoxNews has so many idiots on it's payroll, they may know nothing about politics but at least they know all the secrets to turning what should be a civil argument into a verbal wrestling match.

FoxNews is the WWF of news journalism. :laughing:
