never mind.  Well except for the fact I posted a NON Fox source that clearly listed which Official ACTUALLY said that there were MASS CASUALTIES. You might have had a point.
By the way DUMB ASS 102 casualties ARE in fact mass casualties.

And Fox was not the only one to report that. I already posted in the other thread a report on who actually used the term. I guess your just to stupid to have read it.

Still prefer Fox, but I do lean right, so thats only natural. My Left leaning Indi friend just loves MSNBC. Thats only natural too. Maybe I wasn't clear: I watch FOX and CNN because they are the enemy. MSNBC too.
Watching their propaganda in measured doses helps me understand how the American people are being manipulated. Wish you luck in finding a news show that you trust to give you accurate news without a bias one way or the other. Good luck with that one. |

To do this, search for sources that don't make accusations in their journalism. Once you find such a source, hold onto it.
In addition, there are some outlets that are more factual in their reporting than others. They may still have a bias, but at least they're trying to report the truth.
Examples of these would be The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
Of course, when saying this, I'm only talking about their actual news sections, and ignoring their opinion sections, which are just as bad as other media outlets.

By the way DUMB ASS 102 casualties ARE in fact mass casualties. Confirmation. Early in the story FOX went with hystetia.
I posted that the facts would be what they are regardless of what the final story would be. The point is.....FOX went with unnamed sources and uncomfirmed numbers....whixh fed into their 'news' philosophy....keeping the sheeple forever uneasy and on alert. Keeps the sheeple in a state of outrage, anger, shock and stupidity.

Rep Power: 71 | | The RWL @ USMB (right wing lunacy), is in full attack on this one.
The perceived NEED to defend a bad practice @ FOX is a telling example. Just admitting what FOX is engaged in and saying it fits their world view is too much to handle for the RWL @ USMB.
After all...the myth of Fair and Balanced...must remain!
LOL

Full disclosure and my ethical
code dictates that I restate my habit of watching all Cable Networks...when I get the chance.
But fear not. For I am equipped, as a few others here are, with an awesome set of critical thinking skills.
It is indeed truisms, that all men are NOT created equal, and that life is unfair. Gee its a shame that you don't think much of yourself!
