Just curious, who, what or whom took the country and exactly when was it taken??

And who was it taken from? Obama won by a clear majority... so exactly who is the majority of Americans taking this away from?

Spidey has not handled losing well.

Obama and other democrats who think like he does. Happened when he/they took office. Just 10 short months and he has caused more damage than any president in history. Carter will look like a savior when this fucker is done.

I've seen the question what should happen to Fox News?

This is not an isolated incident but a pattern at FNC. Things like changing Rs to Ds in the caption during a scandal, calling Obama a defacto terrorist.

The FCC should step in and force the Fox News Channel to change its name to the Fox Entertainment Channel. Then they can continue to lie (oops make mistakes detrimental to Dems).

No no Dude. A non-Fox News dude made an error years ago. That means Fox can make as many mistakes as it wants....it's what is called "Fair and Balanced".

Seriously Dude, it's the New Math and I'm not surprised you missed it. Watch Beck, he'll fill you in...

Damage huh? Yeah things were going so swimmingly when Bush left office and things were so shitty when Clinton left office. Let's go back to good 'ole days of 2007.

Well, seeing as how MSNBC is an amalgam of "Microsoft" and "National Broadcasting Company," and does not have the word "News" anywhere in it, my guess would be nothing? I'm not in favor of forcing Fox News to change their name, mind you, but your rebuttal was simply stupid.

-EDIT- Oops, company, not corporation. Point still stands.

If it'll make you feel better their new name would be MSNBCE

Recent polls have the majority of the country thinking were headed in the wrong direction. Lots of people would like the good old days of 2007, back when they had a job and didn't have pay cuts/benefits cuts because of Obama's anti-capitalism policies.

Results of the NBC/Wall St. Journal poll on right/wrong direction of the country a little ways down: http://www.pollingreport.com/right.htm (it's the first one I saw that goes back to 2007)

Percentage of people who thought the US was going in the right direction for all of 2007:
Average: 20.25%

Current percentage of people who think the US is going in the right direction: 36%.

So...it appears that the crux of your rebuttal is based on your objection to Fox News Network using the word "news" in it's corporate name. And you say my rebuttal was simply stupid...lol...that's rich.

People are pissed because its taking time for Obama to clean up Bushs and the GOPs mess.

As far as those anti-capitalist policies who instituted TARP 1 and the AIG bailout(one of the biggest chunks of TARP)??

Don't try to swing the right wing cartel in here because you are wasting your breath.

Turn off the car while the garage door is closed. I never said your rebuttal was stupid. Its a valid point a network calling themselves a "News" channel while continuing to make intentional "mistakes". Take a hint from Vince McMahon if the fix is in, change your name to entertainment. Fox "News" has a high viewership for the same reason the WWE does well.

Then why is it the most watched news network? Not just high viewership, it's the most watched news network there is and kills all the others.

The left sure is scared of Fox News. Especially since it's the number one watched news network. We're taking the country back by making shit up to scare our fellow ignorants and it scares the crap out of their warped little minds.

Fixed.

Angry, old white hick men still get their "news" on tv and they only want to hear "news" that fit what they want to hear?

Pretty logical actually.

Yeah and idiot young people get their "news" from a comedian. That's what's most sad.

What's even more Sad is that those watching the Comedian are more Informed of Facts than those who watch the most Popular News Channel.

Not. They're facts to the young stupid people because they agree with his lies and mistruths in their blissfully dumb, severely mentally diseased, entitlement and white guilt mentality liberal mind.

Show me a pattern of similar egregious "mistakes" then my answer will be the same.

BTW - nobody has even come close at MSNBC of calling Bush a defacto terrorist.
MSNBC is highly biased and would beat on Bush unrelentingly. Fox News is highly biased and beats on Obama unrelentingly. The fact that you see a significant difference is probably more of an indication of your personal bias than anything...no?

Nothing like the smell of projection in the morning, with a big heaping serving of irony on top.
