I did cut him some slack. Look a few posts down for his first thread that I deleted. Members with less than 10 posts are not allowed to link to sites to prevent people from advertising their bullshit here. He was warned.

yah i think the conservatives stick up for each other on this forum... i get like 15 negative reps for one very liberal post, yet no positive reps from the liberals.... i guess liberals see that reputation is not the place to say "i dont like what you said so im gunna trash u for it"

Look at my rep. :p
It seems if you dont take a middle ground, you will inevitably get hammered.

What are all these "rep" points people refer to...?
There is no explanation in the FAQ about them, though I have 22 points (don't know if that is good or bad, not that I care)

In the left hand colmn, below the name of a poster there will be a set of scales icon. Click on that to tell people what you think of their message. BTW, 22 points is reasonably good. You have people like me to thank.

WHO GIVES A FUCK
NOTHING is "unbiased." NOTHING whatsoever. Stop using the word "bias" like it's a terrible disease.
As long as the source doesn't try and hide its bias, what's the problem with it?
www.bushfan.com is being honest. You can tell EXACTLY what their bias is by looking at the URL, and that's fine. www.foxnews.com, on the other hand, is pretending to be "fair and balanced" but is irreperably tainted with right-wing propaganda.

I agree. FOX news wouldn't be half as irritating if they were prepared to admit they were right-wing. O'Reilly is particularly loathsome because he is one of the most outspoken conservative hosts, yet he continues to claim he is "independent".

"baisness" can be a disease becuase people like teh NYtimes and Herald Tribune claim that they are non-biased and shit. I dont like having Bias whenever i read news. I dont like having right wing news or left wing. Its the fucking news, i want to hear what happened not this, "after hearing the vicious attack on Kerry, Kerry calmly rebutted "i didnt mislead our country""
I like shows like Crossfire though and bill o'rielly and Hannity and Colmes because you see the arguements and you know what they think and which way the sway.

When did they ever claim that?
Fox news, the channel you admire so, is the one that claims to be "fair and balanced," even though they are owned and controlled by republicans.

The problem with Fox and the like, isn't just that they are right wing. It's that a lot of them lie without blinking an eye, and are bullies that smear their opponents all the time. "Half truth" is the only thing you can except of them. Emotion is the only thing keeping people listening. I prefer facts and thoughtfulness.

ok first of all... look at my sig. go read that book. there is a HUGE section on Hannity and Colmes. they did an in depth analysis on it... on one episode after a State of the Union Hannitiy said 2 thousand something words... and Colmes said less than half of that.
it is supposedly Conservative vs Liberal... however Colmes is a self described "moderate." AND al Franken talked to Colmes with a whole bunch of things to point out about Hannity's hypocricy yet Colmes refused to use them becuz basically hes not allowed to. go read the book... it was entertaining.
also they have a photographed copy of O'Reilly's voter's registration form... even though he has stated that he was a registered Independant... he registered as Republican.
dont trust ANYTHING on fox.... except family guy. family guy is good.
