never said fox was perfect, but such over reaction and vilifying the network for a 1/2 second video clip snafu ?
It's right to call them out on their screw ups, as is the case for all who carry the news, but to then go ape shit over the imaginary INTENT to deceive, while ignoring what Dan Rather ( Fake, but accurate ) did.... c'mon. Even YOU must see the hypocrisy you're dealing in.

Yeah, I go ape-shit over anyone claiming FauxNews is trustworthy, it's a helluva sore point given all they've promulgated and defrauded the public with.
You seriously think it wasn't deliberate fraud to use TWO different clips from TWO different rallies to enlarge the number of people attending? Calling it "imaginary" intent is disingenuous. If you truly believe that, well, there's no hope for you then.
I didn't give just that one example, I gave several. That one's just the one that was most publicly laughed at in the media. It weren't no half second clip...if you bother to watch at all you'll see they carry on the fraud for quite some time, on different shows, and actually BUILT on the number of people until it was up to a million.
Dan Rather is one example, a valid one, but not about MSNBC, which is what you've been ragging on. You need to come up with ONE decent fraud or blatant lie from MSNBC, and you can't, whereas there are clips all over Utube and articles all over the internet about ClusterFox and their iniquities.
It's partly BECAUSE of their manifest deceit that people were manipulated into the vicious anger that destroyed the town halls, believe Obama is a socialist, that there are death panels, etc., etc. Some they started, some they merely promulgated; the end result is things were stirred up or enhanced that are harming our country.
So you betcha, I've got a chip on my shoulder where FoxNoise is concerned. People who watch nothing else come to believe their lies and don't look further. THAT's what's behind my fury. All media is slanted one way or another; what they get away with is unconscionable, and "treasonous", as they claimed anyone else was who dissed Dumbya.

I view the use of file footage as amateurish and lazy, but not "deliberate fraud". It seems sloppy production in the video edit room gets you all riled up, but when a senior reporter ( Dan Rather ) is knee deep in an ACTUAL act of fraud, to promote a purely political agenda, it goes nearly unnoticed by you.
Why is that ?
Yes, just one example, of not just Dan Rather, but his producer as well. Oh well.

I have to guess that you meant destroyed the town hall MEETINGS, which is hardly the way I'd describe it. There was genuine anger there, and it had nothing to do how it was covered.
Obama absolutely has his issues w/ the free, capitalistic system, and may very well be a socialist. You'd have to be blind to deny that. There would be rationing of health service, under a Gov't controlled universal system. Call it what ever you like, Death Panels or not, but the end result is the same.
I could say the exact same thing, about how the MSM genned- up, fabricated and enhanced stories and view points which have harmed this country.
Like fabricating a story on the eve of a national election, for the sole purpose of influencing the vote and affecting the outcome.
And as for MSNBC, I don't consider it anything more but AirAmerica in disguise. There's the Left leaning NBC, and then there's the extreme, hyper far Left MSNBC. Not even worthy of comment, as the ratings prove.

Oh, so YOUR statement above holds some weight IYO, but my version of the reverse absolutely wouldn't, eh?
See how balanced you are, RAPtroll?

I'm pretty sure Dan Rather lost his job over his lapses in judgment. Haven't seen anyone ignoring that, and it's probably a big part of why CBS didn't rank higher in that "poll".
I guess it's being suggested that most of the FauxSnooze people should lose their jobs as well, for their serious lapses in judgment and continual ignoring of (and pure fabrication of) the actual FACTS.

Is that how you defend Obama? By childishly offering " but Bush did it too ! ". Only there's no where near the evidence against Bush as there is against Obama.
NOT

Did you hear something?
Sounded like static.
Chris, are you hearing it?
It's almost like those signals from space that turn out to be old radio broadcasts, coming back a couple years later, all staticky and weakened, fading in and out.

Signals, being sent back from space?
And as a side bar, Robin Meade on HLN is VERY easy to watch.

In answer to the original discussion..
IMHO, mind...
Keith is to Rush, as Palin is to Hillary.
It always amazes me how people who scream about 'teabaggers, Faux Noise" and "anti-christian, nazis"
like to talk about the "fringes".
As if being Independent, middle, or constitutionally alert is "fringe"...
YOU guys are fringe.
*sigh
People, really... please wake up. Being so enamored with a political party, or a social mindset (be it liberal or conservative) is NOT helping. Its actually making things worse.
SOME things are black and white... but a lot of times what we argue about here are shades of gray..
And the thing about shades of gray? Because, by their very nature, are in flux... you can NEVER apply them to people as a whole.
So what ends up happening is, people argue about things that shouldn't be applied to our entire culture... and totally ignore those that should.
Which is why, again IMHO, the only laws we should have, are those that protect our freedoms, and leave the rest to people to figure out.
