Don't turn on fox news!, page 9

To answer your question, apparently more people watch Fox News than all of your news sources combined - whatever they are.

Here is another one that apparently feels they know so much that they never, ever need to hear or read an opposing view on any issue.

Again, who gave you the ALMIGHTY TRUTH?

For example, I NEVER read Foxnews.com because I feel I pretty much already know what they will have to say on any particular issue. Instead, I read Drudge, CNN, MSNBC, plus several online newspapers in order to get BOTH sides.

Try it sometime ...

Good post.

And you're right, it's all slanted news according to Rupert Murdock and his ultra conservative right wing slant on the world.

FOX NEWS is doing the same thing with Obama that they did to Kerry and the sheeple were gullible enough to vote exactly the way FOX manipulated them too.

That's exactly why we're in the mess we're in Figures below from

January 19, 2001: 10,587.59
September 29, 2008: 10,365.45

NASDAQ Jan 19, 2001 = 2770.38
NASDAQ September 29, 2008 = 1983.73

CPI, January 19, 2001: 175
CPI, September 29, 2008: 219

Dollar exchange with Euro, January 19, 2001: 1.068
Dollar exchange with Euro, September 29, 2008: .695

And people do not learn, they keep believing in FOX NEWS and voting Republican. Are YOU better off then you were eight years ago?

National Debt During 8 Clinton Years: Increased $1.3 Trillion to $6T

I like that "polished turd" phrase. There was another by Michael Riggs that said, "a turd dressed in a fine silk sock, at the end of the day, is still a turd."

You, Cree. Me, Cherokee.

Thank you.

One thing my mother taught me when I was a kid was to keep an open mind and don't pass judgment until you understand more than you think you already know. (notice I didn't include the "usual" phrase, "...until you know all the facts".) Nobody will ever know ALL the facts. It just becomes an issue of if you even bother to look into issues yourself or just pop a beer and have it explained to you, by Fox, or MSNBC.

Sadly the days of Walter Cronkite are over and will probably never be revisited given the new age of sensational journalism where ratings are more important than the facts.

And as I've previously posted, I don't appreciate negative attacks, from anybody, presidential candidate or dog catcher, or those news outlets that insist in feeding the flames.

So at least I found an issue that John McCain and I agree on.

Thank you for talking some sense here. You would be surprised at how many ATS users here are easily mislead by Fox news just because they like conspiracies and they want something to poke at Obama with.

Obama doesn't have ties with terrorists. Obama didn't even know about this guy's past when he had this convention for him. I'm surprised users on ATS are so gullible.

They have different personalities.

One cares for the middle class (Obama), one wants to destroy it.

One wants to tax health care, one doesn't.

I know that people may think they're two sides of the same coin but I think Obama is the better of the two. Don't sell yourself short because you believe they're the same.
