Fox News is not a news organization

This morning, their poll of the day is "Who should take the lead in fighting Gulf Oil Spill?"

FOXNews.com - Who Should Take the Lead in Fighting Gulf Oil Spill?

I listened to WWL all weekend, and even the angriest, most vitriolic talk show host in New Orleans now understands that, by law, as passed after Valdez incident, that BP has to take the lead, and why.

Instead of explaining this to their audience, Fox just fans the flames of discontent. I can't accept that they don't understand the issue, they just choose to dumb it down and make it controversial.

I do enjoy reading your posts GEO...you seem to be a serious type person, sometimes your fact cards are a little mixed up and out of order, other times you make some sense, but then a few times you have your blinders on and can't see beyond your nose. But I do stop and always read your comments and thoughts with some of the "Others" on the forum I jump and skip over their notations. Just have no time for their nonsense.

.......as far as using little pictures...not into it..I am a word person...if you believe it say it, if you disagree with it speak out, and if you feel someone is completely out of line take them to task... that's what makes this forum so fun and so informative.

I know this is you trying to extend an olive branch. So I guess I appreciate the effort. That said, rather than ambiguously summizing that my facts are mixed up/out of order and that I wear blinders/can't see beyond my nose- why don't you point out something I have said that you believe is off base and articulate why. I personally enjoy when someone makes me realize when and why I am wrong. But I'm just not going to take your word for it. :biggrin:

If you won't use the sarcasm emoticon then please tell us in some other way when you are being sarcastic so we know. Like when you said that you like my criticisms of Fox and that I obviously spent a lot of time watching it to draw my conclusions. You said that you say what you mean. But I believe you said the opposite of what you meant (you were being sarcastic). But maybe you weren't. That's why I requested you use :sarc:--- so we know what you mean when you don't say what you meant. Haha- that's a fun sentence...

I take exception to the statement that "liberals want to make decisions on behalf of others based on moral authority."

Last time I checked, it was not liberals advocating that my pharmacist could choose to not fill my prescription, trying to outlaw abortions, and trying to legislate religion in public places.

sounds just like a bible toting white southern redneck

Bob, the only thing that keeps me from telling you what you sound like, is the fear that I might be thrown off of the forums because of my foul language...which certainly doesn't become "a southern, redneck, bible toting" lady like myself..... so with guarded words, I will tell you:

that if you act like a rectum,
make sounds like a rectum
then you must be one.​

Rectum- an 8 inch tube in the lower body that is a warehouse for poop.

Anyone that can list that many things both pro/con about Fox has to be watching it. You also actually admit you watch FOX which some folks on this forum do but are fearful to say that they do. So when you disagree with them, that's your right, you have done your homework...you have "read the Bill" so to speak. You are a smart guy...you don't need any symbols from me to figure out what I'm saying...

You are a very angry bitter person aren't you? That said why do you feel the need to preface almost all of your statements with back handed discrediting statements?

4 word bob---"you are a redneck"

you are proving my point....you're an angry redneck

angry yes...you really tick me off...you are rude, a bore, and very critical and nasty with most if not all of your comments... if folks don't stay quiet when you spew your hateful thoughts...then your old standby word for them..is they are a redneck....you have used it numerous times. You really have some deep seated problems with folks you consider red necks. Exactly how do you characterize yourself?

Was I engaging you SWGB?

Hey, SWGB, I don't believe I was addressing myself to you in any of my comments...for the most part I try to ignore you and your entries as it is obvious exactly the type of person you are.. and what you say, or have opinions on really hold no interest for me.
