It is amazing with some on FR. They claim the MSM is bias yet they turn around and quote papers like Politico, the Hill, The Atlantic, and one freeper actually posted a column by Dana Milbank to trash Boehner.

I think the fact that people on FR do that is useful. I don’t think that people who post these articles here are agreeing with them (in fact, knowing FR, I highly doubt it).

But since I refuse to buy the NY Times, Washington Compost, Miami Herald (our local rag) and the others, I can find the “wheat” of what they are doing here, without having to wade through the “chaff” (i.e., crap). Plus some very reasoned discussions (usually).

How often does the NY Times present contrary (to them) opinions?

It is the "Principled Conservative Brigade". The same yoyos who think the Second American Civil War will be cool and fun!

If they can't get everything they want and right now, they will trash any efforts to get part of it.

We can expect them to "sit on their hands and send the GOP a strong message" and then hold their breaths until they turn into Smurfs.

I don't have a problem with the 'quoting' of the liberal news sources. We all need to know what the other side is saying. I'm annoyed with the folks who BELIEVE what the libs are saying, without seemingly questioning the source, simply because of their animus towards Romney, Boehner, the GOP, etc.

Those folks seem to forget that the MSM wants to throw a monkey wrench into the election works this year, and will do everything they can to encourage conservatives who may not like Romney that much, to stay home from the polls. They know that is the ONLY way that Obama can keep the Presidency.
