I am persuaded by notions of hate speech and the experience of modern German's attitude toward Nazis. They have outlawed that party and do not permit Nazi speech. 50 million dead works wonders in terms of sobriety. I believe that hate propaganda is a profound evil and should be crushed, preferably with other free speech, but when necessary, by force. I see no reason for a society to tolerate what will not tolerate them if they gain power. I am fully aware of the dangers of fanatics on all sides. However, I maintain there is a qualitative difference between different kinds of fanaticism. I know where Nazi thinking will take us. I can't pretend to be stupid when some things are obvious. I don't want them dead, I want them challenged at every turn. I want to make their lives as miserable as they will make mine if they get the chance. They are parasites that abuse free speech and liberal thinking. They are a cancer. You don't not treat cancer.

Glad to see the other networks stand up to the WH and won't play their game. Damn...it's refreshing to see these major news outlets actually stand up for principles and not kowtow to Obama's slimy politics.
White House escalates campaign against Fox
"Thursday, the Obama administration escalated its war with Fox News by trying to bar the cable channel's White House correspondent from a press pool event. To their credit, the four other members of the pool -- ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN -- told the White House if Fox were barred none of them would participate in the interview session."

Yeah it's amazing that peeps on this claim they know just about everything but have no clue what a fucking golden shower is lmfao.

Very good article, spot on. As it says, the real story is NOT the Obama admin saying the emperor has no clothes, it's that the emperor truly has no clothes. In other words, the important story is that Fox "News" actively pushes a partisan agenda under the guise of news, not that the admin's comments about it.

Thought I'd bump this for Patty, Doc Savage, and all the other wing-nuts who make all these emotional accusations based on partisan talking points, but then scatter back to the shadows when faced with factual information refuting their claims.Originally posted by: Bowfinger
Just curious, did you read your link? It does NOT support your assertion that "Fox News is the *least* bias news network." On the contrary, it found Fox and MSNBC to be mirror images of each other in bias, while the other television MSM were LESS biased:Originally posted by: Patranus
You must have failed to read what I wrote. I never said the study found NO bias, the study found that it was the LEAST bias.Originally posted by: Arkaign

Here is a link to one of the studies regarding election coverage
http://www.journalism.org/node/13436#fn1
I will see if I can dig up the link to some of the other studies I am thinking of.
Just to finish making your head explode, be sure to note their findings about CNN. As much as you guys love to wail about CNN being the Communist News Network, this study -- the one you linked, remember -- found CNN's coverage was "somewhere in the middle" for cable networks, though more negative overall -- to both parties -- than other news sources. That's why you guys see CNN as so biased. When they run negative stories about the left, you accept them at face value and think, "it's about time." When they run negative stories about the right, you start crying about bias.

So tell me...have you ever seen a news network do a fact check on a SNL skit before?Originally posted by: Bowfinger

Exactly. The white house doesn't like news outlets speaking the truth, they must only be allowed to speak the words of the Obamessiah.

Excuse me, but I seemed to miss the part where SNL could be mistaken for news and not just a sketch comedy show.

No, the WH doesn't like a "News Organization" blatantly spreading right-wing propaganda and lies.
As far as I'm concerned, they could have told them fine, you stay home too -- and they would have all caved within 24 hours.

WTF are you talking about...I point to a clear and recent example of blatant news media bias and you call it a diversion? My comment was both relevant to the discussion and factual. You been hitting the bottle a little early today?

And we would have a precedent established. I'm sure then that you wouldn't object in the future when a Republican president does the same thing when he doesn't like a particular news network or two who don't happen to see eye-to-eye on his policies. How nice.

Don't mind Bowfinger, he tends to not follow the discussion and then leaps in with all sorts of inanities. He also tends to forget that it is he and his fellow leftists who love the emotional instead of rational arguments.

Except it's not an example of media bias, no matter how many times the RNC tells you to say so. Perhaps it's an example of CNN's shift to infotainment rather than real news, a valid complaint IMO about all television media, but there's nothing especially partisan about it. That's just your Pavlovian response because the usual RNC propaganda outlets started spreading the claim. You continue to make emotional arguments based on this while ignoring factual information to the contrary.

Don't mind me. I've got a crush on Bowfinger and tend to not follow the discussion and then leap in with all sorts of inanities when he posts. I also tend to forget that it is I and my fellow wing-nuts who love to emotionally accuse the left of whatever my RNC puppeteers tell me to instead of making rational arguments.
