You're a good man Dave Duffy. People have got to start to understand what we are up against and that we have the best man in office to help us fight this and win.
Right-wingers seem to feel that Fox is "fair and balanced". Left-wingers, on the other hand, feel that CNN, NPR, New York Times, and other "liberal" media are often biased against them. In general, I think government is incompetent, so I'd say my political views are moderate: I dislike Democrats and Republicans fairly equally. From what little I have viewed Fox, it was not very fair. One night, in 8 minutes, there were three stories that somehow ended up relating to Hillary Clinton. Two other stories were negative portrayals of Kerry, and this was on a day that Bush had some sort of negative thing happen (can't remember it now). It seems to me that both Democrats and Republicans are deceitful and corrupt. Any "news" source I hear that doesn't point out the lies that both sides tell is not "fair and balanced" in my book.
Only one?
Who/what is "fair and balanced".....in your book?
Agree. The only people that have anything to fear are those that have a criminal intent of some sort. When our cops investigate a crime, they often interrogate several innocent folks before they build a case against the guilty party. Terrorists are much more secretive and elusive. The Patriot Act gives the investigators more lattitude to gather information and to communicate it to other agencies. Ms Gorelick made this impossible. We're not dealing with small time criminals here. We're dealing with people that want to dessimate our entire society. A few innocent folks might get offended as a result. OH WELL!!
>And to consider a bit further. Another 9/11 attack will lead >to real invasions of provacy and freedom like existed during >previous wars. A vote for Kerry is a guarantee of that >happening.
This brilliant paradoxical insight needs to be shared widely. You're the one person who has helped us think more than one step ahead on what weakening the Patriot would mean.
You're right. CNN does have a separate foreigh feed. I live in Seoul, Korea and unfortunately CNNI is all I have access to. I choose not to watch the Bs that they put out, so I get my new on conservative internet sites. I just reurned from two weeks in the USA and found myself glues to Fox News. Never thought I'd miss it quite so much. I enjoy truth in my news and neither CNN nor CNNI can provide that. Same goes for ABS, CBC, CNBC, etc.
A person after my own heart. Remember the DC sniper. That whole area went nuts. Searches were conducted and certain right were surrendered by thousands in that effort. When the suicide bombers start here, the realization will come over thelibs that they "WANT" to surrend a few of their "RIGHTS" to potentially save their bacon. And.....it is only a matter of time.
Zing!!................FRegards
I haven't seen a source that is unbiased. All news is filtered through biased reporters, editors, and producers. I have seen decent reporting out of many of the mainstream sources, but they have biases in what they cover as well. The best solution I have found is to get my news from multiple sources and understand the people behind the scenes.
I like some of the BBC's stuff, some of their interviewers are very skeptical. Coming from basically an anti-authoritorian philosophy, I tend to see all powerful people as potentially corrupt. The founding fathers were right when they set up a system that at its core doesn't trust people in power.
I don't know who Duffy is, but he's got it right on this issue. The media are fanning the flames of hatred of America worldwide, all in a quest to defeat Bush and, I suppose, return America to the road to socialism.
Whether they'll succeed or not in ousting the president remains to be seen, as do the consequences of the fanning of those flames.
Another vote for Bush is always good news.
And this is why we will be wondering at the lanslide this November.....a landslide that the power in the democrat party know is coming, and they are just trying to keep it a small landslide....
And what does the WA Post do? It posts more prisoner pics. I hope all the liberal media folks and politicians go straight to hell.
Thanks, nutmeg.
Great editorial with a nice plug for Fox.
The Dhimmicrat Party owns the Fraudcast networks, and the print media. Your statement about NPR is laughable.
