See you in the trenches.

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace said Friday that since leaving the mainstream networks behind to join Fox he's noticed an "astonishing" amount of biased reporting on the part of his former colleagues.
"I came from the mainstream media and I didn't used to feel this way," Wallace told WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr.
In radio interviews he does to promote his Sunday broadcast, Wallace said, the questions he gets are almost always slanted against the Bush administration.

Wallace doesn't come across "fair and balanced" himself when he interviews conservatives on his Sunday show. And, he bends over backwards to protect the DemocRATS. I don't trust him at all.
She's getting her news from sources that vote 90% dem.
"Yes he was raised in a cage."...Didn't have Room Service like ALGORE?
I think the fact of a conservative mindset and culture in even the illegal alien community explains Bush's stance on immigration from Mexico. You know better than I do the situation, of course, but I wouldn't be suprised if his "guest worker" proposal has its roots in the knowledge of a great work ethic and strong family ties among the Hispanic population.
It seems to me that about 37% of the population are pretty hard core democrats and would support and vote for Joseph Stalin if he had a (D) behind his name.
Sad
Huzzah!
I honestly cannot remember seeing, hearing or reading a single positive story or analysis in the MSM on anything the Bush administration has done since the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Not one.
Without exception, EVERY story is negative.
I'ved enjoyed Wallace in the Sunday morning slot. Tony had more of a "can't we all just get along?" style of interviewing, hoping they'll hang themselves. Wallace is bit better at getting them even more unbalanced and really honing in on the inconsistencies.
Chris is always on Howie Carr's show at the beginning of every Friday show and he is funny and clearly shows a veiled but clear dislike for the left. He loves his Dad but probably has his more conservative questions due to the very nature of having been raised around his father's bias.
The Irish hate him because he is of English heritage!
See you in the trenches.
Being a Democrat is like being in a cult.
Please don't be overly upset. It is, after all, only my opinion.
In NYC Rudy Guliani's term in office resulted in the annual murder rate dropping from something like 1800 to 2000 down to under 700 (mostly black lives saved BTW--blacks who were dropping like flies under David Dinkins, our 1st black mayor) but the MSM focused on things like the Diallo case so the black community enthralled by Sharpton and Jackson consistently saw him as a racist...clueless people don't have a clue...go figure...and, of course, the MSM cover Sharrpton and Jackson like they are demigods instead of reporting the truth and informing the masses...truth...bah!...integrity...what's that?...money and power...that's the Democrats of today.
I can believe that. As an avid Fox viewer, I can see they play to the larger audience, but do cover all the bases. Sometimes to my blood pressures dismay. ;)
Well, at least she is on the right track if she listens to Rush. Her age is probably suspect, although almost everyone I know in that age bracket is pretty sharp. Rush usually gets through with some time.

A source she "cannot recall"...
I'm not upset, overly or otherwise, with your opinion. But I'm certainly not satisfied with either it or your cop-out response to a serious question.
your the one who spent the most time with your dad, and your the one he talked about ( and was proud of the most ) the most."
I showed my dad ( in spite that he was a Democrat ) that I loved him, and I know in my heart he knew it.
I have a similar story. My father used to say in similar discussions we had that "FDR saved this country" with his socialistic policies. My mother, who is still voting, won't say that about FDR (at least not to me) but she buys the Democratic Party's lies hook, line and sinker.
But my mother voted for Bush last election. It may have been when I asked her WHY she fought in WWII (army nurse in the Pacific) if she was just going to vote for communists like Gore and Kerry.
Sorry about your father's passing - you proved to be a great son. That probably means so much to you to have his co-worker make such a great comment on such a sad occasion. I hope I have no regrets when my parents pass on - I spend a lot of time with them since they live 30 minutes from me.
I don't think I have a contentious relationship with my mom - I just enjoy political discussion and she doesn't. As she told me she was taught you didn't talk about politics or religion - period. I grew up in different times - graduated HS in 85 and college in 89 - truly a Reaganite - and very proud of it. My mom is an FDR democrat like your dad. Born in '38 and raised in the 40's and 50's - she knew the democratic party when it was very different. She views the desire to talk politics as devisive and when it is raised in discussion she get uncomfortable.
Funny I have a really great dialogue with my dad, but there is a mother/daughter thing that is weird sometimes. I am very much like my mother so we get along very well, but we lack the ability to bridge some topics, whereas with my dad he will engage me. Mom gives me advise about house and home and relationships, but dad and I do the serious talking.
The best to you, keep wondering what kind of relationship I will have with my kids at my parent's age. Hoping for one like you and your dads.
Boy, that was long post, huh???
I have an aunt much like yours. She tells me she will always vote dem no matter what. She reads nothing, listens to C---BS news and has such a warped view of what's really going on, there's no hope for her. Her main reason for voting dem is that her husband always did!
Yikes. Her vote is what the rats live for.
My aunt once told me that my grandmother was a Republican, and that she would vote Republican just to tick off my grandfather ( he was a Democrat ) ...lol.. that was way back in the old days, WWII, 50s.
My auntie is a good old Republican all her life ( my mom's older sister ).
The Steelers/Jacksonville game went into over time, and the Steelers won the coin toss.
Daddy must be about ready to disown him.
Hey, you brought it up. Then, you felt the need to explain.
Besides, who cares what I think?
Not wanting contention hits it on the head - many of the "Silent Generation" as it was dubbed here on FR, are not grandstanders, they live their lives quietly and hated the upheaval of the 60s after the tranquility of the 50's.
I have told my parents several times thay I find it very interesting that for 2 non-political, Democratic Party leaning parents they raised such tried and true conservatives - and they shrug their shoulders. Part of it is me and my brothers grew up in the Washington DC area - politics 24/7, inside the beltway mentality. My parents grew up in a small coal-mining town in PA - kinda poor but happy. 2 different worlds.
One day we will have a very good discussion - she knows I love her and for now that is good. Thanks for all the pointers, I will always listen to good advise.
Good Night, off to get kids in bed and walk the dog!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
Well Duh, he just noticed this? He said he didn't realize it until moving to Fox? All Bush reporting is mean spirited, slanted, and intended to destroy him. Kind of like over half of the threads on this forum the past several weeks.
WOW Catcher mitt son is saying this I am shock
Behold the proof of a successful propaganda campaign!
They can give you the opinions they passionately hold, but they can't begin to give you a substantive reason for holding them.
It's nothing but pure artifice masquerading as thought.
Someday, ask her what are the odds, given the law of averages, that one person could be ALL bad, NEVER do anything right, and NEVER deserve a positive story?
Then point out that on the MSM, America itself is ALL bad, NEVER does anything right, and NEVER gets a positive story. Is that the America she knew/knows?
That's what converted me... how could the US be in the wrong in EVERY conflict? It just didn't pass the smell test. Then I started thinking, and looking.
(However, my mom was the same, don't expect much success!)
And IMO Fox News has given in WAY TOO MUCH to the constant criticism of the left in what they do.
I used to tune in for an oasis from the left-wing bombardment that rains down not just from news sources, but every form of media right down to sitcom drivel. Anymore their efforts to bend over backwards to appease the left (which can only be achieved through COMPLETE surrender to their Brave New World political correctness) has me tuning in far less.
He may also have found it refreshing to discover that conservatives are aloud to have ideas of their own and think for themselves, after having been immersed the the Brave New World oligarchy all his life.
Thanks for the ping!
I gathered that she wasn't "that" kind of girlfriend, but I sometimes forget that some folks can't read sarcasm.
Still, you gotta know, that when you throw around phrases like: "my 7 year old girlfriend" on a public forum where people don't know you; you're likely to get some inquries of one form or another.
LOL :-)) It could be except MY aunt doesn't have any children. Maybe my aunt's sister is your mother, and they think alike??
Right, I don't trust Chris Wallace either.

I try to read folks homepages before I comment one way or another on "delicate" subjects like this . . . then I never try to be judgmental until I get more facts. The term "pedo-perv" was provocative and cruel . . . something I would NEVER be to another fellow FReeper.
If any 52 year-old FReeper had written the EXACT same post I did, I would read his or her homepage, then assume there was some kind of inside joke not meant for me and leave it at that.
If you had read my homepage, I would hope you would've known the term was used in jest. I've adopted some nieces and nephews because of something similar to this. I've only been able to handle it physically, mentally, AND FINANCIALLY because of Monica's family. Someone in their family has worked with someone in my family for 85 years now and I love them beyond measure. My nieces and nephews and Monica and her brothers and sisters are the closest thing I'll ever have to children of my own.
Your use of the term "pedo-perv" was totally uncalled for . . . sarcasm or not. This family reads EVERY post I make to Free Republic and that is the only reason I'm going into such detail.
Mine and your interaction was discussed at length at their supper table last night. To even have to have this discussion with such a good, caring, loving, and impressionable young child broke my heart. I'll pass on your explanation . . . but she read your post before I did and her mother told me she spent an hour trying to figure out what a "pedo-perv" was before I called her.
She loves it when I refer to her in my posts . . . that's why I did so. I wanted her to know how proud I was of her. But I will do so no longer.
If you would like to send me a "private reply" to help her understand, I'll see to it that she gets it.
:o)
See you at the next family reunion - should be fun eh?
