So Fox News is to blame for Keith Olbermann?! Hahahaha! I hope Jacob lives in California, where his obvious marijuana addiction is at least legal!

The Partisan Liberal Media gets angry, very angry, when challenged. In their minds, they have a right to tell the rest of us what to think without interference.

These brainless attacks on Fox have got to stop. What’s with this Democrat who wrote this article? Can’t he respect another opinion? Can he possibly be anything else but a Democrat and liberal who voted for Obama? So why should I take him seriously?

All of the other so-called “news” programs reflect a liberal bias. Why is Fox the only bad actor in the whole bunch?

Does Fox News still call Palestinian terrorists “Homicide Bombers?” I love that....calling them suicide bombers is skewing the intent of the action.

Here’s the part that is most difficult to swallow. The “false stories have not been identified, have not been adressed, no specifics noted. It seems to me, that at some point, some specific example would emerge....there hasn’t been any. That is why people side with FOX News ( lies yet to be proven) vs. Obama Administration ( lies proven every day, many, many very specific lies, too many to count). It doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out.

I have a small question for the Left Wing media’s relentless attempts to push Communism. Do they think they will be part of the “elite” when the State becomes a dictatorship?

Where is Liberal “heaven”?

Their argument across the board is - We don’t like the messenger, so you all should ignore the message.
I can’t figure out if these guys really buy into what they’re saying or if they are just the “bullies” that CNN accuses Rush of being.

Jacob:

Moe mindless “my brother is bigger than your brother” crap.

Instead, why don’t you explain to us how bad Glenn Beck is because he played tapes of Anita whats her name bragging that her inspiration is Mao and Glenn asking the question “Why are people like Anita” in the White House (or is it the Red House?).

Then you might explain why Glenn is bad because he showed a tape of Lloyd speaking of how much he admires Chavez and the manner in which Chavez handled the media when he was being criticized in public by his opponents.

And there are a few other questions when you have time.

Anita Dunnage was right: FOX news really IS biased.

They report facts, and the arena of factual reality is exclusively held by conservatives. ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC will never understand, because their tiny liberal minds can only process the irrational, the fabricated, and the wishful thinking that makes up liberal reality.

Jacob Weisberg (born 1964) is an American political journalist, serving as editor-in-chief of Slate Group, a division of The Washington Post Company, and a columnist for the Financial Times. He served as the editor of Slate magazine for six years, until stepping down in June 2008.[1] He is the son of Lois Weisberg, a Chicago social activist and connector celebrated in Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point. Weisberg’s father, Bernard Weisberg, was a prominent Chicago lawyer and, later, judge. His parents were introduced at a cocktail party by novelist Ralph Ellison.

Weisberg is a frequent commentator on National Public Radio and also writes a weekly column for the Financial Times. He previously worked for The New Republic in Washington, D.C., was a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. Early in his career, he worked for Newsweek in the London and Washington bureaus. Weisberg has also worked as a freelance journalist for numerous publications.

The creator and author of the Bushisms series, Weisberg published The Bush Tragedy in 2008. He is also the author, with Robert Rubin, of In An Uncertain World (2003). Weisberg’s first book, In Defense of Government, was published in 1996.

Weisberg graduated from Yale University in 1986, where he worked for the Yale Daily News. When a junior, he was offered a membership in Skull and Bones by Senator John Kerry, but declined the offer, citing the club’s exclusion of women.[2] Instead Weisberg was persuaded by The Washingon Post’s Robert G. Kaiser to join Elihu Society instead.[3] After Yale he attended New College, Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship.

Weisberg moderated a 2007 debate between Al Sharpton and Christopher Hitchens. This debate hit the news after Al Sharpton made a comment that seemed to charge that Mormons did not “really believe in God.” The moderator, Weisberg, was noted to have also made critical comments regarding Mormons, and in particular presidential candidate Mitt Romney.[4] Weisberg authored an opinion piece on Slate in which he argues it is not bigoted to refuse to vote for a Mormon, especially one who believes in the “founding whoppers of Mormonism.”[5] He also stated that he would never vote for a Scientologist or a young earth creationist.

In August 2008, Weisberg stated on Slate that the only reason Barack Obama would ever lose to John McCain is racism by white Americans against Obama. He stated that “If Obama loses, our children will grow up thinking of equal opportunity as a myth.”[6]

The Slate's use of "skewed news" is not only ironic and a paradox, but it is flat out hilarious. No doubt, the writers at Slate, as with most of its readers, watch the seriously "skew news" at ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, etc. =.=

...Fox anchor Chris Wallace, who calls Obama's team "the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington."

I don't care who you are, THAT there's funny! :-) Chris Wallace is a bit lefty, but he was spot on with this comment!

Never mind the swinging door, constant flow, of State Media 'journalist' and Democrat politicians from news activism to political activism and visa versa.

I surely do not trust this guy to tell me the truth about anything!

Usually receiving flak is a good indication that you’re on target.

A skewed journalist accuses Fox of skewing the news. The funny thing is, he doesn't think his view is skewed.

Any news organization that took its responsibilities seriously would take pains to cover presidential criticism fairly....

And yet...

By appearing on Fox, reporters validate its propaganda values and help to undermine the role of legitimate news organizations. Respectable journalists—I'm talking to you, Mara Liasson—should stop appearing on its programs.

First, this cry baby pisses and moans that Fox only cites conservative sources, then he begs for others, whom he deems as respectable, not to appear on Fox! Suffering cats! STFU already.

Mr. Weisberg apparently believes that things will be better, and he will be happier when a political officer reviews all outgoing "news".

Hopefully, he won't have to find out the hard way just how tragically wrong he is.
