I gave up on network news channels back in the '80s. I enjoyed CNN at the start and thought that they did a credible job for several years. They really pi$$ed me off during the '94 campaign when their political guru Bob Franken called the Republican agenda,(the contract for America), The contract on America. That was pure political propaganda. It has gotten much worse since then.
Whoops again...I meant to say that Comcast CAN’T touch it.
worse...Fox is in the pretty business....pretty faces, young,hot mmmmmmmmmmmmm
sad part is this is freepin news not a cat walk
Fox is junk news. I stopped watching them long before they declared FR a “hate” site.
I watched a few minutes of Neil Cavuto this evening. He had Imus on and both were insisting John McCain was grumpy and grouchy this morning on Imus show.
I heard that show and McCain was laughing in Imus’ face and was really not letting him attack Sarah.
That Cavuto would go along with the big lie was sickening.
As far as I am concerned there is no fair or balanced media outlet in America.
Boy, you got that right. Unless there's some big breaking news, I don't watch them. If it's big new about government, I tend to go to CSpan & stop watching that after they start to take callers.
Now Murdoch is covering himself, worried Obama will take the licenses of his broadcast stations.
I agree.
“Amen to Vonage!”
I have it, but it often drops calls and I often have to reboot the modem after a thunderstorm.
What comes up on caller ID when its a pollster?
Unknown caller
I never answer those!
I'm glad you wrote that. I was beginning to think I was living in Bizarro World. Fox News ALWAYS leads with and highlights the polls that show Obama furthest ahead.
On the other hand, Lou Dobbs just opened his show by stating that the polls are showing a much closer race. Why does Brit Hume ignore these polls? Seriously, what's wrong with the Fox News bunch lately?
IMO, CNN`s reporting of the Gulf War was the last straw for conservatives. It was a long five years until Fox News started broadcasting. All we had in between was Roger Ailes cable outlet, America’s Talking. The forerunner of msnbc.
People get way too upset about Fox News. Folks have to take the good with the bad. Half the time Fox News does a good job, 1/4 of the time they do an average job and the last 1/4 is sub-par. But 95% of the time FNC is better then CNN and 99% of the time better then msnbc.
Never had those issues. My ISP is incredibly reliable, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Threat of the Fairness Doctrine - orders from Murdoch.
Hume has no spine - what a waste.
I have been extensively involved in politics since the early 90’s. And I have never been polled, either. I think that is why polls have always been such a joke to me.
It’s the same thing that comes up for some of my family.
Couldn't sleep one nite and had the misfortune of being subjected to it..
They are all closet liberals. Or so it seems.
I've never been polled either btw.
“Seriously, what’s wrong with the Fox News bunch lately?”
They’ve obviously gone into the tank. I first noticed it 3-4 weeks ago.
Fox has jumped the shark.
FOX = MSM wannabe.
Threatened by Obama with the “fairness doctrine”, no doubt.
Y’all are late to the party. Fox hasn’t been worth watching for at least a year. Last one I gave up on was Brit. Hannity and lizardhead put me completely off at least three years ago (unless I heard that the skinny blonde conservobabalishious was going to be on).
I don’t listen to Hannity on the radio either. He needs to learn some other speaking method and decible level besides blasting rant. A little entertainment would be nice from time to time as well. Its funny really. Rush shows them all how to do it and they just don’t learn.
I have not been polled for this election either — and I live in NC now, which seems to be an on the fence state. I happy to be under the radar :-)
