Ironically, when you look at my cousins, most of the ones that voted for Romney have at some point been either on government assistance or live with their parents or were supported by their parents significantly, or some magical combination of the three. I've probably paid more taxes then all of them, taken less cash assistance, and I still voted Obama.

So, despite your claims that they are "balanced" you did not watch their election coverage yet.
That's okay.
I will let Jon Stewart explain it to you.

Here's a clue for you: when everyone else can see the problem EXCEPT you then you are in denial.

No.
The point being that if they only have "liberals" on that they can easily out-debate then there is no balance.
Those are "straw liberals".
I didn't expect to have to link to this in a conversation with adults, but for some reason I do.

But that is the same reason why you cannot address Fox's election coverage.

Posted by fairly.unbalanced]]> Mon, 12 Nov 2012 15:42:04 -0800 The Stranger <![CDATA[Re: Why Do Republicans Hate America?]]> I'm glad Media Matters released that clip. It really shows how Kristen counteracted Cal and quite effectively I might add. That's what I mean as healthy.

@51: How often do I need to state it? The quality of Fox's liberal punditry is certainly open to criticism, but you have to admit it does exist. We're talking about two different things. I'm talking about # guests and frequency, you're talking about quality.

Perhaps if liberals such as Paul Krugman and Katrina vanden Heuvel were not adverse to going on Fox, the quality of debate would improve?

look phoebe i don't know if you're a republican or really a conservative, but if you are why aren't outraged at the kinds of crap they're pulling. ? and i mean 'mad as hell and not going to take it anymore ' angry. you'll call it 'robust debate' but why aren't you seething at the their thinly veiled racism and contempt for level headed on honest discourse. why do you defend them ?

There is a simple answer to that.
Watch Fox's election coverage.

"Fascinating."

And the part I find fascinating is how you continue to refuse to address Fox's election coverage.
Despite it being the clearest example that contradicts your claims.

That's it, isn't it?
You refuse to address Fox's election coverage BECAUSE it contradicts all your claims.
Posted by fairly.unbalanced]]> Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:47:45 -0800 The Stranger <![CDATA[Re: Why Do Republicans Hate America?]]> Exactly!

Keep it up anger and hate filled republicans. Keep repeating this forever. You are your own worst enemies.

The woman's first comment will be their prophecy... "This is why republicans will never be in office again." Couldn't have said it better myself.

Americans, despite your cynicism, are capable of making up their own minds despite the media.

There seems to be an impression that Fox viewers are undergoing some type of Clockwork Orange treatment.

Fascinating.

Oh, and there's Bob Beckel's liberal retorts on multiple shows. How could I forget dear ol' Bob.


Posted by Phoebe in Wallingford]]> Mon, 12 Nov 2012 08:57:01 -0800 The Stranger <![CDATA[Re: Why Do Republicans Hate America?]]> "And Fox is popular. It's not garbage, ..."

I think we have found the basic disconnect between reality and you.
Popularity has no bearing upon whether something is garbage or not.

"... its effective content that gets people's feathers ruffled. I think that's healthy."

You really don't have a clue, do you?
Look up "Piss Christ".
Transgressional just means transgressional.
Whether it is "effective" or "healthy" is not dependent upon it being transgressional.

"Furthermore, they want ratings so they want robust debate on their shows."

They want ratings so they go for repeating what their audience wants to hear.
Where was the "robust debate" on Fox about Limbaugh denigrating Fluke?
It should be easy to find if there was any.
It was covered here many times.

If Faux Noise is so wonderful then why is Frank Luntz saying that Faux Noise viewers should be outraged?

How much is Faux Noise paying you for cheerleading? I need some of that $$$ myself.

Sunday best: Bill Kristol wants to raise taxes on millionaires

Shocker! Influential conservative says the GOP should be willing to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires

I've been saying this forever and even appealed to Dave Reichert directly regarding the middle class extensions.

Exactly. And this is the same fantasyland thinkIng by which Joe Scarborough, et al, criticized Nate Silver.

Good thing Buffet paid off Obama with a billion dollars so he can damage kids lungs with anthracite dust.
