I did not say that FNC presented a "rosy view of deathcare". I said they had their share of health control cheerleaders and then I named some of them. Anything you take from this statement beyond what I actually said is something that you conjured up between your own ears and I will thank you to not attribute your own commentary to me.
As for presentation presented by Fox News and cheerleading is concerned, I heard Martha McCallen, news babe, not a commentator, make the following statement this morning: "The real question is whether or not businesses will raise their prices to pay for the new taxes brought on by Obama's health care plan". This has to be one of, if not the most asinine questions ever asked by a media talking head. No, Martha, businesses have a magic unicorn that defecates money just for such occasions. That's where they'll get the extra funds to pay for Obamacare. Good grief!
This is what passes for journalism these days on Fox News and you are sitting there defending it...
There was nothing wrong with McCallum bringing up the issue in the form of a question or speculation. Yes, it logically follows that businesses will raise prices to pay the tax, but since it hasn’t happened yet, putting the issue forward in the form of a question or speculation is certainly better than never raising it, which is the tack other media outlets and the zero administration will take - and we both know it. I think your complaint with respect to McCallum and what she said is total nit-picking and suggests a petty, trivial mind behind the complaint. There’s nothing wrong with using a rhetorical tool for raising an issue with an audience.
You stated you begged to differ with my opinion as to whether or not Fox News is cheerleading for deathcare. As evidence, you offered up the names of some rat pundits who support it. That IS what Fox does - they present both sides. That is what makes them unique in the industry. That doesn’t make them cheerleaders for deathcare. To the contrary, it’s clear that, on the whole, Fox does not support deathcare because, of the total regular pundits and guests, there are more detractors of deathcare than there are supporters and their various news people bring up questions about the bill that tend to point out its flaws (because the flaws so grossly outweigh any beneficial aspects). This is true about FNC and FBN both. I guess you don’t watch Special Report on FNC, which is a news show with a split panel for topic discussion the last 25 minutes, or much of anything on FBN.
I’ll reiterate what I said to you before which, in essence, is that you’re not cpapable of objective thinking. Your bias and lack of recognition of your bias prevents you from thinking objectively in terms of news consumption. Your observation about McCallum proves it and is nonsense. At best, your first post to me may have been a non sequitur because you just don’t understand the model FNC uses to present news vs. opinion.
