This is accurate  make it appear more partisan. I'm not sure that is possible

White house still going after Fox news....

No you're not racist for disagreeing. Some of his opposition is due to racism though.

Also, I did forget about the Jimmy Carter thing.

Jimmy Carter saying things doesn't equate to the rest of Democrats or liberals, or anyone, believing it.

He's certainly at least a little right though.

To understand the news today and the difference, watch clips of ABC/NBC/ABC (we only had maybe 5-7 over the air stations back then)of the 1960's and early 1970's. Go to the library and read newspapers of the 50's 60's early 70's. Once the media began to expand and the "infotainment" genre immerged the news began to firmly encamp itself left of center, in an America that was and still is slightly right of center.
In the 80's people like Rush saw the expanding gap in the presentation and the change to commentary more than presentation, and he launched what is now Conservative Talk Radio, infuriating the administrations of the left (Clinton, Obama) and challenging concepts presented. Cable news, watch the clips of the initial CNN year, and today, there is a very defined difference, and not to see it makes you intellectually blind.

total disection and an "expert" commentary. saturation infotainment


In many cases you are not informed of the news, but told what you must think about the news by the "commentators" presentation. Print media has also swung left of center, read a Time of 1968, and a Time of 2009, a very distinct slant presented instead of the "boring" this is what happened, now you get the obligatory why it happened in the writers opinion in most cases.

My journalism class at SCC was a battle, I did just that brought in clips and examples of the 40's, 50's and 60's, then today, and the young prof (a product of the radical campusus of the late 80's) told me that my presentation was not correct, but the video clips, and copies of writings were the originals, the early here is the news, and the modern this is what I think you should know about the news. Everyone in the class understood the presentation (most in the 18-24 yr old range), and the proffesor did all he could to discredit it, got a B.

Notice how the news media changed the Republican blue to Red recently, red in many mids represents "communisim" or evil, so the media enmasse contrived the shift to Red for republican to go for a subliminal message. Explain the change from the traditional (back to 1910) Blue for Republican to Red? A "Red State" in the minds of an elderly voter brings images of the "Cold War" and communism, and hense a "Red State" must be something evil. Believe the language and subliminal message constantly refering to "Red States" intentional. FOX seldom calls them Red States but names the actual state(s) in question.

How did I change my story?

I misworded what I said.

He quoted the whole post and didn't pay any attention to that line.

Maybe I am being blinded by my own hypocrisy, but I don't see how me thinking that the misuse of incorrect Rush Limbaugh quotes by media sources is wrong and bad, has anything to do with Fox News.

Luckily, in FE's world, EVERY story can be the top story of the day.

Seriously, you're confusing basic prioritization with people willfully covering up the facts.

Have you considered that perhaps there is a fundamental flaw in your viewpoint when you spend more time looking for reasons our elected officials shouldn't be elected than trying to,say, actually work with the political system?

You failed to quote this line FE

"Fox is not the only guilty party - far from it"
