Like I said

Johnny knows it all

By the way if you think I am pissed off at you Johnny then you would have to believe I give a rats ass about anything you state.

Don't flatter yourself.

Ya these results are shocking indeed lol. It would seem sticking to a news source so shamelessly biased could make one pretty ignant.

Hey, as long as we're looking at the past, check out these democrats!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan




(Pssssssst, most major slavery and civil rights progressions were done by republicans)


You need to stop listening to Hannity - it's making you look like an idiot. (Yeah, we know you don't listen to him ;) )

Are you really dumb enough to think the Party of Lincoln remotely resembles the GOP of today?

"Conservative" means conserving the misery. Here's a "Yea-Nay" vote on the Civil rights Act of 1964:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964
The original House version:


  • Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7%–93%)
  • Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0%–100%)
  • Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%–6%)
  • Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%–15%)

The Senate version:


  • Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5%–95%)
  • Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0%–100%)
  • Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%–2%)
  • Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%–16%)

Sorry my little conservobot boy - Conservatives - Republicans especially - can't claim civil rights progression. Your conservobot revisionist history won't fly. The southern conservatives voted to conserve repression of blacks and women. Today, many southern states have turned Republican to "conserve" their way of life. That doesn't speak well of your political philosophy.

People still watch cable news shows? ;)

I must confess, I do watch my local Faux morning show. But that's for traffic & weather. Plus it's the only local news that doesn't cut away to a national news show.

That said, for over a decade I have gotten my news online. Independent news blogs are the way to go. hehehehehehehe.... Sometimes a blurb from one of the sites I read will make it to my Faux morning news but it's never the whole story. I've 'known' these morning newscasters for many years and sometimes wonder if they'll say the whole story but that's not what they're being paid to do and everyone needs a job these days so I don't hold it against them.

It was refreshing seeing Anderson Cooper blow a gasket in the aftermath of Katrina. Every once in a while a talking head can show their human side. He retained his job too. Maybe his CIA background carried weight? ;)

Local cable news is good if you want to know what's happening in your area. It's useless to me though because they all cover NYC yet I don't live there. The one station that does cover my area, YNN, the Time Warner station, I don't get. Hence, I haven't watched cable news in ages.

um

you just described every single news station ever

Hmm, I think there's a difference between how it's done and presented though. There's news and there's agendas targeted at a specific audience intended to act as a mouthpiece. One person's news is another's agenda etc etc.
