well, my bad here--i forget that you are limiting yourself to the Big Four, i guess. Sadly, most American statements online, i am seeing, are just going to become less and less relevant, until they have all descended into unintended comedy...there are like 100 news outlets that cover the O's drivel, wadr.

I'm reminded of the total blindness of...some network, covering an airline fiasco, like some HK flight that landed in SF, I think? Years ago? The news televised the names of the pilots--who had disappeared, and were being searched for--"Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo" etc.--with a straight face, completely unaware of the joke...i could prolly find it, it's hilarious...

If the selection process was blind then either proportions should be approximately even or else the party with worse ratings should receive more ratings overall according to what PolitiFact lists as its selection criteria.

the scary part, to me, is that you are not alone; your opinions are widely held, even in religious circles, in the US. I give you credit for voicing them, to very little disagreement, apparently. The maw maws in the country are nodding in approval with you.

To be fair, that was only a local affiliate, not the national news agency. Though it was quite humorous. I like one of the comments on the video:

They brought in their lawyer wei su yuu.

well, it would be diff if it were Podunk, Iowa, circa 1960...but Oakland, c. 2010? really? this had to pass through like ten hands before it got on air--six, at least. Scripture talks about this kind of blindness.

Fox proudly reported all of those justifications for the Iraq war too. Reported as gospel. They searched Hussein's body cavities and never found those "weapons of mass destruction". Where's your outrage? Oh yeah. Your outrage is selective and limited to what is politically expedient.

Ohhhh someone SUES therefore it means the lawsuit is legit! Hey everyone PARIS SUED Fox News! Wow! Now that PROVES A LOT! A WHOLE city! Every citizen of Paris went to court to protest! Lol! Hey Junior, go back to the locker room and put your jock strap back on! Haha!!!

As far as the oft repeated WMD crybaby stuff, Fox News only reported what every single intelligence agency from Russia, Germany, UK, France, Israel, USA and others said along with the UN inspectors---Iraq had them. Saddam Hussein is the biggest fool in history bc all he had to do was show how everyone was wrong and avoid invasion. Yet he held to his guns and wouldn't let anyone inspect the places the UN wanted to inspect. It cost him his power, his palaces, his sons, his lavish lifestyle, and ultimately his life. And he did all of that to hide the fact the he DIDNT have WMDs.

well DB, but you are ignoring what you would do if the shoe were on the other foot. Very much.

The thing is, we know for a fact he had chemical weapons, as he used them to wipe out an entire area full of Kurds (sp?). It wasn't much of a stretch to assume he had more stockpiled.

No general anyone can sue. The open air retraction of their statements is enough proof for me.

It is also enough for you to acknowledge that there were in fact no WMD's in Iraq. The rest of your dribble is irrelevent

Can't you find a wedding to bomb or something? You aren't doing very well in here.

We know it because Dow sold the precursers to them. Dow was able to sell the precursers to them after Rumsfield visited them on behalf of Reagen then Reagan lifted the export bans so that they could quickly and effiiently kill as many Iranians as possible. Now you are here looking dumb and saying that "iran is an agressor" and now you want to "bomb and destabilize" them on top of arranging to shoot and gas them. No. Wrong answer general. Go bomb a wedding party. You are just another terrorist with a different skin color.

The entire lamestream news empire is crumbling and has passed the point of irrelevence.

They have become what Pravda was in the ole USSR, only those lacking basic thinking skills buy anything the "official news" outlets are selling.
