Also that all of their most listened to characters are aired during hours (which are the majority of their hours) that are designated by even them, as non-news hours. Also, most of their characters, to various degrees are acting. Doesn't seem to bother anyone that they have the valedictorian, Stanford honors grad, classically trained violinist, Miss America winner, Gretchen Carlson act like an apple pie baking, stepford dunce to appeal to what they obviously believe to be their less educated, simpleton audience (that's you). Does that not tell you what they think of you? Their deceptiveness toward their own viewers and supporters (not the left) has been proven time and time again, yet it seems that for people who cling to (yes I said cling to) socially conservative issues, staying close to who seems to be most in support of those issues is more important than being shown respect and dignity. They blatantly play you for a fool, get exposed time and time again and you still support them. I guess core beliefs about Jesus, guns, abortions and such are stonger than the desire to be treated respectfully. I'm not totally against some of the positions of the right, it's more the ways that they go about delivering their messages that I find demeaning and most revealing about who they are and what they're about at their core.

I think too much is being made of the Negro comment made by Harry Reid, but I can understand that if Obama had something to benifit from having a fit about it, he would, like him bashing that cop over the black professor.
I know about the editing that happened, not the first or only news agency that has made that mistake.
I watch HLN and CNN and MSNBC and I like to watch Oreilly. OReilly reports and comments and brings democrats and GOP on his program, so you can hear both sides.
I don't like the way the dems are spending money and coming up with new ways to tax us to pay for it. Tanning Salons?
I don't think we belong in the middle east, The USSR tried it and they didn't have to be nice about it and look how that worked. We should have just got intelligence and just blew up a corner of the country and turned it to glass.
I hate that the GOP and the DEMS are using Abortion to polarize the two party system, I think the federal government needs to step out of that completely and let each state handle it.
I believe in separation of state and church. The church should have nothing to do with politics.
I use to be GOP, but the party changed and I don't agree with a lot of what they are doing, so I'm an independant now. Reagan has 10% unemployment, the cold war and a bank fallout and fixed it, yeah, he cut some programs and borrowed some money, but he ended the cold war, tore down the berlin wall, created jobs , employment down to about 4.4%.
So far the stimulus package is not creating jobs, it was the wrong thing to do, of course Obama stated it was creating jobs, then the next day posted the new unemployment at over 10%.
Don't think just because I'm having a problem with whats going on, that I'm with the right, they have no leadership and I don't know if they will ever find it. But if you truely believe that you can get the news you want from one source, then go for it
