“I’m a simple mountaineer like yourself who knows how to tie a Windsor knot.”

ouch

Even then, reporters were a lower life form…

I didn’t know they had Faux News back in 1980. No, wait a minute, it turns out this is the vaunted left-leaning liberal media in all its glory.

“ragheads” so racist and insulting

Ragheads? Cameraman has his geography wrong. Not to mention his observational skills – that headgear is definitely not rag-like.

Who refers to American English as “American?”

Someone tried to have a left network like faux news, it didn’t work out.

“Now that is Liberal and Progressive radio”.But are “liberal” and “progressive” always the same?Obviously not or “and” wouldn’t be needed..Still, intentionally slanted reporting is dishonest, no matter who does it.

And now the money is definitely from the right side, especially since all the so-called “mainstream media” are owned by the corporations who consider them advertising outlets. Just look at “news” stories on movies produced by the owners’ studios.

“when the Pope visited Cuba and denounced the human right violations that the front page story wasn’t this story”.Maybe they didn’t really consider it news.Cuban government was condemned? Nothing new there.The pope condemned injustice? Nothing new since priests weren’t involved.Physical evidence existed our leader lied to us?Now, THAT is uncommon..But the idea is that all of the news outlets would or should have gone with the other item no matter how ineffective the pope’s words were.(And remember that many of us don’t care what the pope says as long as he no longer calls for burning us at the stake — for which we are appreciative.)

MSNBC is pretty close. The staff is certainly just as stupid as anyone on Fox.

Roland had quite a chin back then.

I still believe that GT is commenting on Dan Rather’s breathless reporting from Afghanistan, in local costume

What part of “most of the time” is a problem for you?.Sure, they’re whores enough that getting big ratings trumps ideology, but for run-of-the mill, day-to-day reporting, the ideology shows through clearly..Fox news shows you everything major the President does, even if it’s a good move. The Liberals do the same.

Rag Head!!?? Really!??

They’re not rag heads, that comment alone would have gotten the guy skinned if any by a tiny minority of the Pastun spoke anything but the local tongues.

Speak Pashto if you can, and Dari if you can’t, but never EVER call a Pashtun tribesman an Arab if you want to keep your parts.

Some of us couldn’t agree more.

“The very word ‘socialism’ so terrifies most of you, you are so frightened of being branded socialist, you can’t think straight on the subject. Butch up, guys! It’s time to stop allowing the insane right to dominate the debate.” .Considering socialism’s track record, insanity would be the ones expecting a different result from it.Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
