I agreed about Dan Rather and said it was a valid point previously, but if you want to ignore that, go right ahead.

How can you even conceive that the editing room would "accidentally" grab footage of a rally MONTHS BEFORE and edit into recent footage of a current rally. THAT is actual fraud, and blatant as well. It wasn't publicized as much, that's the only difference. But then publicizing FoxNoise's every fraud would be a waste; their gullible audience wouldn't hear because they only watch ClusterFox anyway.

There were other instances, I notice you didn't mention them. Like putting up footage in 2009 as "just in" of an event in 2008? Also "accidental"? Ridiculous.

Yes, there was genuine anger at the town hall meetings. But there was also immense disruption and disallowance of FREE SPEECH, or of the right of anyone there who wanted to listen to and ask questions of the representaives. Deny it if you will.

There's rationing of health care NOW, and honest to gawd death panels...every day stories emerge, FACTUAL STORIES, of insurance companies denying coverage which costs people their lives--unless it's made public, then they back-track and allow the coverage. YOU would have to be blind to deny that.

Your opinions on Obama are yours, and you're entitled to them. We'll just have to agree to disagree, because they're not my opinions.

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.




Can I hold you to that? Even when you start blathering on about all the "hippie libs"?

You ask me 'how can I conceive' when I've already told you how. There was no "accidentally" , and I never suggested as such. There was lazy and sloppy production. No question. However, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill here. If you did as thorough an anal exam of all news networks and how "factual and accurate" they were, you'd see similar screw ups and false reporting. Some of it may be intentional, but not all. So it goes w/ FOX as well.

That's a complaint I have of FOX as well. They insist on hyping up updates by calling them FOX NEWS ALERTS!, implying that something new and sudden is taking place, that there's breaking news, when instead, all they are doing is giving a brief recap of what has taken place hours or even days before. I find that annoying as well. But I can choose to watch or not, as can anyone else. Most choose to still watch FOX.

I deny it. No one limited anyone's free speech. That's not to say there wasn't shouting going on, but no one denied the right of free speech.

If these 'death panels' exist now, and upset you, then you'll be far more upset when the Gov't gets involved, and there's far more rationing of care.

Well, we don't tend to agree on much, except that we disagree.
