LOL. And the liberal Big Three don't engage in deceptive journalism?There is an ad on MSNBC right now that says it's the "most watched/most trusted news source."
That is a deomonstrable lie.

MoveOn.org a libera advocacy group, plans to file a complaint on July 19 with the Federal Trade Commission charging that FOX News channel's motto 'Fair and Balanced; is decepting advertising. What's really deceptive is the use of the term "news" by the major media (e.g., CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, etc.) when mostly its nothing but leftwing propaganda, anti-Republican commentary, pro-Democrat viewpoints, slanted reporting, and selective use of facts. The lamestream media is a joke.

its an integral part of a vigorous and thorough campaign to win in nov. reps should be showing such creativity, urgency, and energy You're absolutely right. Sometimes I wonder if our side really has enough intellectual horsepower to prevail. Or maybe it simply has too much hubris.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder what kind of people we are sharing a planet with don't you? I heard a spokesman on the RFK Jr. radio show talking about this and it just blew me away. What a bunch of mean spirited jerks. These are the ones who are for choice!

O.K. - Then by their logic, we could sue them for not moving on, right? Oh good one! LOL! I hope some of our lawyers around here pick up on this one!

Considering CNN is claiming to be The News Channel America Trusts, despite current statistics to the contrary, why aren't these crusaders also going after CNN? Good point. This just proves that moveonplease.democrats are only doing this for political reasons or else they would go after CNN! We have the CNN LIES bumper stickers, and you wouldn't believe how many people ask us where we got them because they want one too.

I see this as pretty serious, folks. The hyper-libs are stealing the press bias issue from us, but only if we let them.
1. They know that Fox is dangerous, because the libs biggest fear is that the truth about them and their candidates might see the bright light of day.
2. They know that WE own the press bias issue, so they are putting US on the DEFENSE, hoping then we can't/won't mount an offense.
We don't have to take this! Why don't conservatives COUNTER with lawsuits against abc, cbs, nbc, cnn and etc, claiming that what the dominant media broadcast (and call "news") is really mostly liberal "opinion"? Also, why don't conservative organizers (do we have any organizers?)organize groups of activists to DEMONSTRATE and PICKET outside of the news offices of abc and the others?
This is, indeed, a serious situation; and, a situation up with which we should not put.

OK, let's try out this new motto:
"Fox News: Saying Who's Right...and Exposing Who's Left."
