Saying things are so X year is so X year.

All of the news networks suck in varying degrees, but Fox sucks to a greater extent than most.

They have the simpsons and family guy, basically the rest of the networks stuff can do what it wants.

Playing down Fox News is so 2001, people.

Most, if not all televised media, is corrupted somehow by political bias. Pick your poison and live with it, you're a fool if you think your media of choice is always playing it straight with you.

Let's try some fun flavor words that imply positional bias.

"Pro-Life" and "Pro-Choice" - This generally puts a positive spin on both sides of the abortion issue, yet are also rather neutral terms. Both push the positives of thier outlook. When such terms are used, we can generally assume that the media recognizes the issue for the hot-button topic it is. These terms are less inflammatory and support both views.

"Pro-Abortion" or "Anti-Life" and "Anti-Abortion" or"Anti-Choice" - This is where the spinning begins, folks. These terms are volitile and they're intended to be. Saying "pro-abortion" is basically saying those mean Pro-Choicers are heartless baby killers, turning the "pro" into a negative. Calling a pro-choicer "anti-life" runs on the verge of calling someone Hitler. Meanwhile the "Anti" in Anti-Abortion/Choice is intended to make the Pro Lifer the bad guy, he's against choice and abortion. They're evil!

These terms also serve to undermine common goals both sides usually advocate.

Sexual Responsibility, Abstaining from Sex or Safe Sex. What's more is that both sides want to diminish and discourage the need for abortions through promoting these positive behaviors. But for some people - even the media - its more fun to inflame the matter to get people's blood boiling and spiking up those TV ratings and circulate more magazines and newspapers. This solves nothing and why we, as a society, never budge on the issue. People are too wrapped up in the war against the other side to make progress.

Know about how your media uses positives and negatives and you know where they stand.

Obama knows this, too. He's not playing by Hillary's rules, which are the usual mudslinging that both Democrats and Republicans alike have been known for these last few decades. Instead of addressing Obama's issues, she attacks Obama. He just plays it off and it makes him look better in the public's view by acting like a real grown-up and not fighting back.

I like that about Obama, not attacking those who attack you only encourages them to attack you more and embarass themselves next to you.

Re: Obama's Speech on Race & America

people on CNN

....
You're serious?
CNN has to be one of the worst news sources I've ever seen.
I'd rather take the National Enquirer over it.

/em votes FoxNewsChannel forever.

Re: Obama's Speech on Race & America

I didn't think it was possible for myself to become any more disgusted by the news but lo and behold...

Ranks right up there with Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs and Anderson Cooper and their BS fear mongering spewing out lies. Thank god for the few good people on CNN like Jack Cafferty who actually have a brain/conscience and are on the ball.

Re: Obama's Speech on Race & America

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. Fox News delivers tabloid style news, yet is regarded by most as a legitimate news source. Bill O'Reilly's the worst commentator on that network. The video below covers an example of what I speak of:

Re: Obama's Speech on Race & America

Stop posting facts, Malacite. It's obvious that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is just a disgusting Muslim who attends a racist black Christian church, SMOKES CIGARETTES and HATES AMERICA. Geez, don't you watch Fox News, America's choice for fair and balanced news?
