'Corrosive Partisanship' That Fox News Started Is Ruining the Country

How DARE they be slightly less liberally biased than SeeBS, PMSNBC, etc!! Dickhead.

[EGPWS]

Just imagine if the public was kept informed, round the clock, of the votes – sometimes even the intentions – of their congressperson. Imagine if they were exposed, round the clock, to a partisan harangue designed to inflame their pre-existing biases.

It would be wonderful for then we wouldn't need the MSM to twist the truth and feed us "pickled" news.

“Some are already posing the question but one day, most Americans will point at us in the news media and say, ‘Why didn’t you tell us?”

Some are already saying why did you not tell us about O turd? In fact, they are asking why did you not tell us what you knew and also why you did not seek any facts about this villain.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yeah, Theodore, because we are all supposed to agree with you.

[GeronL]

Fox News started??

What a joke.

[Still Thinking]

And somewhat belatedly, some of us are recalling that the Founding Fathers weren’t all that enamored of pure democracy

In a sense he's right (at least his words are) about pure democracy, i.e. the tyranny of the majority, but notice how he doesn't mind pure democracy until he's about to have his ass handed to him electorally. THEN all of a sudden it's a problem.

...crawl back into your hole you impish little curmudgeon.

In the same issue of Broadcasting & Cable magazine in which Al Gore described the public's deep yearning for Current TV...

[therightliveswithus]

Wow. The MSM is really out there

I don't have to imagine it; that's exactly what you guys do, well, except for the times when you're hiding what your fellow commie travelers are voting for cause you know they'd get tarred and feathered. But the partisan haranguing and inflaming biases, you guys are all over those.

“How DARE they be slightly less liberally biased than SeeBS, PMSNBC, etc!! Dickhead.”

Some days recently I have been wondering in the “new and improved” FNC isn't actually as liberal as its competitors.

Think of Shep Smith!

[Da Bilge Troll]

Well, here it is: the democratization of journalism. And somewhat belatedly, some of us are recalling that the Founding Fathers weren’t all that enamored of pure democracy, when they were crafting what would become our system of government.

There ya go. That's Ted's brain on liberalism. Journalism and government should be one and the same. What a wonderful world it would be! Makes me all warm in my pants!

This sanctimonious POS, thinks that he is so far above the average American, when in fact, he can't carry my dirty socks.

[Still Thinking]

Unfortunately, unlike Alfred, Ted isn’t even funny.

Makes me all warm in my pants!

Did you drop another Koppel in your shorts??
