Fox News... I know, it's getting old.

[PainTrain]

I think this is the first time that the channel has genuinely disgusted me. Well, ok, not the first time, but this gets on my nerves.

I'm not a Clinton supporter, but I took offense to Hill's comments.

[maniactickler]

Hillary deserves everything thats said about her. its all part of her being a maggot.

[PainTrain]

I wasn't so angry about the attack on Hillary; I don't care about Hillary. I think Hill's comments were a bit tasteless, and a deliberate attempt to boost stereotypes.

[Robace252]

Im sure she will feel dumb enough once she realizes it was a hymn and not Hillary speaking. Some moron that writes for her is probally getting the boot right now. Im sure that knucklehead will start his own blog soon.

I enjoy Fox News Channel, one of the better ones if you ask me.

Hilary wants to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and it started with her becoming a Senator. All that was was ready for the Presidency of 2008

[Robace252]

At least Hillary has done something while in the Senate. She actually stuck in there and did a few things. Unlike John Edwards who was a one and done Senator for North Carolina...and even in his one term he did little if anything as a Senator, as he immediately started his Presidential Campaign, and forgot about his job as a Senator.

Fox News has always been manned by midless twerps....

AS for Hillary.....CNN showed 2 different speeches she gave....the one discussed here where she twanged her accent, and the one she gave to a group consisting of mostly upper class caucasian whoevers...

The speeches were like night and day, not just on the content, but on manner of speech, inflection, and tone.....

Talk about playing to the audience.....talk about stereotyping....

Here's what she has planned next week in Vegas.....

Hmm...this could possibly sway my vote to democrat. :idunno:

[GodlessTickler]

As far as I am concerned it isn't a red and blue issue. It is an issue of the difference between balanced journalism, and bias journalism. And we aren't talking about peoples personal bias making it's way into the news unintentionally, we are talking about an intentionally bias philosophy. Do they have the right to do it... sure, but it isn't news, not really. It has no journalistic integrity. I am not sure precisely what it is (a political mouth piece?) but it is most CLEARLY not good journalism.

[Feathery]

Bush's father used to affect a "Texas Twang" when he moved down there and ran for congress, even though he was a transplanted Connecticut Yankee. It's nothing new in politics... it's called playing to the hometown crowd.

As for Hillary, such antics are expected from somebody who has little to no platform on which to run.

I found Hill's questions to be quite legitimate. At first I wondered why anybody would be offended but then I remembered how vogue it is these days to blast Fox News, and reasons aren't necessary.

[PainTrain]

She basically implied that everyone in the GLBT community talked with a lisp, and that all African Americans talk with "street slang".


She deliberately misrepresented what Hillary was saying, and then used blatant stereotypes to try and make Hillary look desperate.

Of course, if you have alot of time to read through things, plenty of examples in regards to fox news manipulating information could be presented in this thread. Honestly, if you can't see that fox is catering to the right wing agenda, no, anyone can see it, most are just too stubborn to admit it, as a way to get back at that damned "liberal media".

[Strider]

You're reading too much into it. It was meant to be an attack on Hillary and what Hill apparently views as her pandering to her audience, nothing else.

The lisp thing was tasteless, but to think that it sprung from a deliberate attempt to boost stereotypes is beyond stretching it.

[red indian]

I watched Hillary do that speech......it made my toes curl with embarrassment, it came across as cynical, patronising and crude. She strikes me as a pretty nasty piece of work I must say. She has all the natural charm and warmth of a starving rattle snake.

[Robace252]

Oh Red Indian...................
How I long for the days of real women leaders like Margaret Thatcher.
That was a stand up woman, Id be proud to fight for!
Tally-Hoooooooooooooo!!!

[drew70]

She basically implied that everyone in the GLBT community talked with a lisp, and that all African Americans talk with "street slang". No, I don't think that's true. She's only suggesting that somebody as shallow as Hillary Clinton might likely attempt to gain acceptance by mimmicking a stereotype of whatever group she's pandering to at the moment, as she did with her drawl.

She deliberately misrepresented what Hillary was saying, and then used blatant stereotypes to try and make Hillary look desperate. Hillary didn't need Hill's help to look desperate. She accomplished that all on her own. She played the video for us to see the entire spectacle, so I don't know how she could have misrepresented what Hillary was saying.

Honestly, if you can't see that fox is catering to the right wing agenda, no, anyone can see it, most are just too stubborn to admit it, as a way to get back at that damned "liberal media".The bulk of the news media is biased to the left. Washington Post. NY Times, CNN, Wallstreet Journal, etc. Yet you begrudge just ONE news station with a different perspective? How fair is that?

[PainTrain]

Perhaps I am reading too much into it, but I just found it irritating.

I can't speak for the others, since I don't watch or read them, but I watch CNN all the time, and I still have yet to see any evidence that it has a liberal bias.

I know the NY times is liberal, can't speak for the other networks; I don't watch them.

[Robace252]

CNN has a slight left leaning bias. If you have a chance listen to NPR one day or watch PBS's news. You will see a huge diffrence in the way the news is reported, the attitudes of the news personalities, and the even-handness of a lot fo the reports, often times with both sides being represented.
What I usually do when a big story comes around, after I see the facts from the AP wire, before some idiot at a network gets ahold of it, or some moron pen-writier for the AP....what I do is watch the same news story on FOX and CNN, then usually pick one of the networks to watch as well. I know the real news is right inbetween what Ive seen...and then Ill listen to NPR to hear both sides.
Usually doesn't fail me.
I like hearing both sides of the story...one from the left and one from the right, because it amuses me how one report can be turned into 2 diffrent stories.

[MrMacphisto]

Feathery said all that needed to be said.

The Bush family was pure Yankee before they strategically aimed for Texas and Florida, so the real people being played right now are those states.

But then again, Southerners have been getting played ever since the Republicans took over the South during the days of integration. How easily they forget what that party did to the South during Reconstruction.

[New2u]

Hillary deserves everything thats said about her. its all part of her being a maggot.

maniac, are u still going to your shock treatments? must be, sounds like a few of your braincells are fried.

Mac, you got that right. The Republicans played on the south's bigotry to gain votes, it worked.

[Knox The Hatter]

Playing on the reactionary attitudes in the South was Nixon's grand strategy for 1968. It was natural to follow up on Goldwater's electoral victories down there four years earlier. By the time Reagan was elected, well...

As far as I'm concerned, Hillary's merely Dick Cheney without the anatomical equipment. I'd sooner vote for Sam Brownshirt- uh- back than vote for her.

Knox, I know Hillary's the main target of the Radical Right, they're afraid she just might win the Whitehouse, for them, that's worse than having some damn black like Obama in there. Apparently, they want to keep the Whitehouse "white" and with the right equipment between the legs.
