Jeebus.CNN watching oblivious liberal sheep, classic.
Research has shown that the two outliers in the American Media are actually Fox and MSNBC, not CNN, CBS, or ABC.
Nice try though. If you want good news, look beyond American news stations. Shit, even The Daily Show and Colbert Report are more informative than typical American news. Use the BBC or some foreign news company.
Why conservatives are fucking retarded, and don't realize that everyone in the government is ruining America. Dems are doing nothing, and 30% of Republicans said that their only purpose is to be in office to make sure Obama doesn't pass any laws. So I'm sorry who's ruining America?
Huck_NorrisFox News: Shaping tomorrow's retards one piece of inflated, spun and misreported misinformation at a time.
Lol because the people who watch other news networks like msnbc are so connected to reality.
If we had real non biased news in this country that would solve a lot of our problems. That's probably never going to happen though. IT really just depends on what's cool at the time or where you consider yourself.
In the end most people don't have a fucking clue how the world works and then go out and vote for douches.

Stupid people in office that suck at life are ruining America. It's not just Republicans or Democrats. It's both of them working together to ruin America.
But mostly Democrats because in general they suck with money

I didn't think it was possible but you've outdone yourself congratulations.

Yeah but Republicans start wars that end up plunging us into trillions of dollars of debt and make America look like a global bully.
theabortionatorLol because the people who watch other news networks like msnbc are so connected to reality.
Lol... Oh I hate that bullshit too, but I must say MSNBC is to FOX what the clap is to AIDS. I like to watch both in small doses, it's funny to see how both report the same things but anybody with half a brain can see the ridiculous tactics Fox uses regularly. It's actually quite hilarious to watch them do it and people eat it up every time without question.
If anything, I lean far more conservative in my views on most things- and I even voted for a certain recent republican president as well (sorry about that)- but shit man, what the Republican party has become in the past few years is an absolute fucking joke. I hate it. It's fucking embarrassing and I wish people would take their heads out of their asses, I really do.

I learn more from watching ome episode than I ever have watching fox news.
These guys are all in it for self interest. How many times have you seen any of them take office and accomplish everything proposed that was instrumental in winning them the election? Usually every step is calculated in lining their pockets and anyone that was a major contributor to their campaign fund to win an election. If anybody can't see this then you are truly blind. You can look at all parties and find something terribly wrong and corrupt about each one. Fact is these elitist have their own agenda.
Big government is ruining America. Government nosing into our everyday lives. Government controlling the products we purchase, (healthcare.) Republicans generally support the idea of a smaller government, Obama and other Democrats show by their laws and actions that they support big government. But overall when you look at it from far away, the government right now is just a scam for us. They've gotten too big and too involved in our lives.
DiabeetoYou're so self-absorbed in your political beliefs that it's not even worth arguing.
I think for myself, I don't let the media think for me.
It's generally accepted that both Republicans and Democrats are ruining America together, and it's also generally accepted that Democrats aren't that good with money..so what did I say that's wrong?

Republicans USED to support the idea of smaller government. Really don't see that today.
The truth is that the people with the money that get politicians elected mean a hell of a lot more to them than the normal person. Unfortunately people will keep voting back into the system. Oh this guy get's a lot of media coverage, or this guy is supported by my party, this guy seems like a good guy, etc.
We should just get rid of the debates and campaigning. Go straight to the elections. What the hells the point of having a debate when the real issues don't get discussed. What's the point of campaigning when a party could put up a random guy from the street and back then, and get 1/4 of the votes just for the name of the party.
Everybody's so convinced that their side is righteous and all evil in the world comes from the other guys.
Hell why even have elections. It's not like we're ever going to vote decent people into office.
I'm pretty independent when it comes to politics but anyone who blames people not liking liberals due to Fox News makes me chuckle. The VAST majority of the media is liberal.
And to whoever said The Daily Show and Colbert Report are good news shows, I don't even know what to say. Not saying they aren't entertaining but if you base your political knowledge off of those shows, you are missing out on so much. They're basically Glen Beck but you're actually supposed to laugh at the news they report.

At least I don't have lying news stations think for me. Lying news stations can be proven wrong.
Honestly the Bible cannot be proven wrong. The only way to find out if it's wrong or right is by dying.. Then you'll find out. But that's really the only way to know

How do you figure dems are less responsible with money when every time a republican takes office the national debt skyrockets. Bush was given an economy essentially free from debt and when he left office we had shit tons. You should do your research a little better before opening your mouth about something you obviously know little about and looking at from a short sight perspective. Let me guess this is a comment implying Obama is responsible for all kinds of debt. President Bush added the most to the debt, more than $6 trillion. This more than doubled the debt, which was $5.8 trillion on September 30, 2001 -- the end of FY 2001, which was President Clinton's last budget. Bush responded to the 9/11 attacks by launching the War on Terror. This drove military spending to record levels, $600-$800 billion a year. This included the Iraq War, which cost $807.5 billion. President Bush also responded to the 2001 recession by passing EGTRRA and JGTRRA, otherwise known as the Bush tax cuts, which reduced revenue. He approved a $700 billion bailout package for banks to combat the 2008 global financial crisis.

National debt rose $4.899 trillion during Bush's two terms.
You realize the last time the United States was at a surplus was under Clinton's presidency. And what party did he identify with? That's right, the Democrats.

I completely agree. American news is filled with so much BS to make it appealing to the masses. FOX is the worst though. It's pretty much impossible to get the truth without comparing multiple sources. BBC is good and the Council on Foreign Relations is hard to beat for international events.
milk_manI don't know why you would post that link, it argues against your point..
Because I'm trying to point out the fact they are all asshats especially the rep. When it comes to spending. The only difference is they cut from different sources and add significantly to others. Look at all the red ink bro how could say any differently
Fox and cnn are equally biased. Msnbc is just a bunch of cocksucking fuckstains. I like fbn and stossel the most, although i appreciate cnns legitimization of weed and ppl like bourdains criticism of the drug war.

We're Learning More From Stephen Colbert Than The Actual News, Study Says

Are they good "NEWS" shows? Fuck no. But they are not supposed to be "news" shows, they are entertainment. However, they provide a type of discourse that brings up topics that typical news stations do not. They provide information that these news stations avoid, whether it be informative or just simple examples of contradiction that news stations, pundits, and politicians often surround themselves with.
Granite_StateYou realize the last time the United States was at a surplus was under Clinton's presidency. And what party did he identify with? That's right, the Democrats.
Not taking sides (given that both parties are as bad as each other), just pointing out that Clinton did not decrease the National Debt in any given year at all and his 'surplus' was a technicality at best.
