Fox News drops all pretenses

    Should be "them," but who am I to stand in the way of journalists relieving stress? Whatever I can do to help.

    So it's a sin when "Fox and Friends" airs what many on the left label a "hit piece" on President Obama's first three-and-a-half years in office. The left-leaning major media insists the clip finally puts to an end an pretense Fox News isn't partisan. But it's fine when MSNBC does something similar to Mitt Romney. This article puts some of this into perspective: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/05/msnbc-produced-its-own-anti-romney-video-february/52994/
    It seems to me both are hit pieces, yet one is fine with some people and the other is outrageous. I guess it all depends on your persective, huh?

    And you can claim to be "Independent" or "Center-Right" all you want. I've read your posts.

    You have no fucking clue about where I'm coming from after 18 posts! I never said I was "independent." But since you asked, I'll tell you flat out: I am a conservative who believes in a big tent and I am tolerant and listen to all views. So that disqualifies me from pointing out an obvious contradiction? Uncle.Ruckus you are obviously a liberal, who believes conservatives walk around with earplugs in their ears, and should shut up and let the "grown-ups" run the country.

    While I'm at it, all conservatives aren't evil just as all liberals aren't the devil incarnate, although from listening to the far-right and far-left precincts you'd believe that's true. We simply disagree on the right course for this country, and we all better get back to talking to each other, I mean really talking and listening, or we are all in trouble. I don't mean just we the people, but our leaders in Washington, D.C., who all seem to believe demonizing the other side will accomplish something.

    There is no "far-left" in the United States. Discuss.

    But I'll bet you believe there is a far-right. Again, it depends on your perspective.

    It really doesn't.

    Oh, but it does. I'm a conservative who knows there is a far-right in this country, but too many liberals fail to acknowledge there is a far-left. Why is that?

    Because there isn't one.
