Fox News is not a news organization

.
I had not seen Black before. I really enjoyed his craziness! :funn:
Thanks for the introduction.


.

Louis Black is HYSTERICALLY FUNNY. I'm TRANSFIXED by his hand movements and jowl shaking brrrrrrowww!!
Netflix him ... one of his funniest shows is entitled Red-White-and-Screwed and
(I think?) is available on instant play.

I'll ashamedly admit I have not watched Glenn Beck. Too many of my beloved right wing (albeit frothing-at-the-mouth nutz) friends are huge fans of his and come back spouting unsubstantiated crapola with him as the quoted 'authority'. But that's a lame excuse/prejudice on my part. I need to at least watch once...
but I'll keep my flying-monkey-creepy hide-my-face blanket handy.

Oh Darling...
anything will do in a pinch-crises.
I'll dive down the front of my own shirt neckline if nothing else is readily available.

Glenn Beck will be an assault to your sensibilities, unless you buy into that kind of programming- and I know you to be too sweet and sensible for that. He goes into my "sad little person" category, with Rush and that awful blond haired lady, whose name escapes me now. They are just so over-the-top hateful it boggles my mind.

..and it certainly doesn't come anywhere close to journalism...not sure what to call it really...would make a good study for some psychology student probably..

Wadecool,
it's been two weeks. Would you mind sharing your honest impressions of Andersen Cooper's CNN show? Thx!!!

 

[Geo]

For anyone who has never seen Andersen Cooper or who doesn't believe he is sharp---

Pls watch this interview he did last night with a BP executive.

I personally believe his reporting has influenced the Obama admin, the EPA and BP to step it up...

I have hesitated to jump in on this but here goes. IMHO Fox is definitely a news organization. So are CNN, MSNBC, Huffington, and every other right, center and left wing media organization. News is information about events. All of them share information and all have a fundemental bias.
Everyone has their point of view and prefer to have their opinions reenforced. That is human nature. So people watch/read/listen to what makes them comfortable.
My belief system tilts far to the right. Thus I favor Fox as it tends to be right as well. But I like Anderson Cooper and prefer Morning Joe most mornings to Fox & Friends. And I like Chris Mathews and really love his books athough I disagree with most of his politics. Stewart is funny most of the time but I don't care for Colbert. I cannot stand Olberman.
I love O'Reilly. I like Hannity personally but think he shills for the Republican party even when they are wrong. But I have never viewed his show as "news" but a video form of an op-ed page. Hannity vs. Bob Beckel is must see TV on Mondays, if only for the entertainment. Same goes for Beck. Beck gets off on controversy and it has made him alot of money. To each his own.

Idlewind....based on your thorough analysis across the board, I would deem you truly "fair and balanced"....
