for example...
you have the president in front of you and you can ask him anything you want, ANYTHING!
And you ask him about Lebron James?

again... I don't care if the seat goes to Michael freakin' Moore... at least he can ask questions that provoke that thing we forgot called thought.

Actually, if you step back a bit, it's pretty funny that the two choices are on such polar opposite ends of the spectrum. Isn't there any other option that's a little more MOR?

"How do you explain away the fact that 2/3 of the country prefer the fair and balanced FOX news channel?"
Cragman, you are fudging the facts. But don't take my word for it...
Cable News Ratings for Tuesday, July 27, 2010
P2+ Total Day
FNC – 1,189,000 viewers
CNN – 400,000 viewers
MSNBC – 350,000 viewers
CNBC – 196,000 viewers
HLN – 316,000 viewers
http://tvbythenumbers.com/category/ratings/cable-news
For this day, roughly 2.5 million viewers- just under half of them watching Faux News. Yes, more than any other source, but no, not '2/3's of the country'.
3/4's of Germany was swayed by Nazi propaganda into believing the most heinous lies of all time. Jesus was outnumbered by orders of magnitude. Sheer numbers don't make something right, Cragman.

That's a pretty weak argument.

Skippy is correct again, Apogee. If I'm not mistaken your ratings are for given time-slots, meaning for any given show, Fox outranks the competition widely.
And you can't add up all the numbers against one network. One person 'surveyed' gives one answer. And by a nearly 2/3 margin, Fox kicks ass on the other 4 networks.
It seems clear by the numbers you posted who people choose to get their news from.
The whole Nazi thing is tired too. Maybe try the race card or something next.

I like what Gonzo said. Lewis Black is the shizz. I was thinking more towards Alex Jones but I think Anders is correct in saying it really doesn't matter. It's all sooo Machiavellian.

blue, take a feckin' half second and look at what I posted (several times, mind you)....
Yes, Faux News is the largest cable (ahem) 'news' provider of all- there's no disputing that.
By the way...in your last post, you quoted me, omitting the 'Jesus' reference...
Too close to the truth for ya?

helen thomas joins daniel schorr in a region of hell lower than dante had yet to conceive of. judas betrayed jesus. brutus and cassius betrayed caesar. half-assed journalists who ask lukewarm questions and then pose as elder statesmen/women betray the entire world. you can't sit at a white house news conference if you dare ask even a pointed question. they arrest real journalists who try to do that. it has happened a number of times already.

How do you explain away the fact that 2/3 of the country prefer the fair and balanced FOX news channel?
So numbers equate to truth???? Wow.. when did that happen? Might makes right. yippie!!!
Isn't there something in the bible about the broad way that leadeth unto death? And the narrow gate that few find?

No, TGT is a nazi-scumbag.
But don't tell him that- it only makes him smile.

Yes, you've settled upon the credo that every FauxNews rightwing Christian nutjob chickenhawk lives by.
Truth hurt, guys?
