I just wonder if anybody realizes that Hannity, like Limbaugh, don't claim to be journalists? They openly state they express their personal viewpoints in their commentaries.

Yeah, and you call that WORK? Most of you right wing wannabees do the same thing for free right here on USMB.
Be truthful:Neither Limbaugh or Hannity are worth more than $35,000 per year combined!

^ but when you left wing idiots constantly spew your mindless musings, you think it's somehow different?
When Chrissy "thrill up his leg" Matthews practically cums on air over Obama, morons like you imagine that he is being a "journalist."
Look. It's simple. Political commentary is largely sport. It has become entertainment. So, Rush is worth EXACTLY what he's getting as is Hannity as is even Chrissy Matthews.
Simple basic concepts really fly miles over your head, ya poor kid.

You have a BIG face but a small brain! I am neither a leftist OR a rightist I think of myself as an American. That means I am not going to allow anyone to pigeonholed me into any particular political group, including you! But keep trying, you seem to love chasing illusions!
I have not said that I thought ANY of the media darling " political analysts," left or right, are journalists. The demons you conjured are all in your mind. I simply stated that I do not believe what they do is work! It was you who took that statement and added your own misguided definitions of what it meant!
There is a historical precedent for the type of political news coverage shown on Faux News, though. Its called Yellow Journalism. That particular news strategy was used in the 1900s to sell newspapers; but, today, many of the terms used to define Yellow Journalism
can be applied to the rantings of Limbaugh, Hannity and even Orielly.
No. He did nothing wrong in regard to him criticizing Hannity as a journalist.
However, his approach was childish and by no means worthy of a lawmaker.
Sadly, we have come to expect no better of our elected officials.
You are absolutely right. We should be expecting our elected officials to yell "you lie" to the President during his SOFU...
Another one who thinks it is OK to rationalize the actions of one they support by comparing it to the actions of one they do not support.
Ironically, you, I am sure, talked trash when the "you lie" comment was made.
Well....so did I.
At least I am consitant.

I believe Ellison said Hannity practiced "Yellow Journalism".
It was than Hannity said he was not a Republican, but a "registered Conservative"
We all know Conservatism requires registration in order to vote!
Ugly ....
.IlarMeilyr said:First of all, that ignores the logic that says that, in the entertainment field, one is worth what one commands
IlarMeilyr said:It also is just a spewing of your dopey opinion. So it's not a matter those who disagree with you are being untruthful or truthful about. It is mere opinion. If you enjoy juicy oranges, that does not make it "truthful" that oranges are inherently and universally enjoyable.
I hate Lima beans. Some folks like them. In correctly stating one's own views about Lima beans, one is being neither truthful or untruthful about Lima beans in general.

An "American" who happens to vote 100% for the party and who attacks anyone not loyal to the party.

I feel your pain, what's a good Bolshevik to do?

That's nice.

But MSNBC and the NY Times are just pure and unbiased, right Comrade?
Weren't we talking about Hannity and Limbaugh here?
If you want to talk about other news networks, start a thread about them..

No, you were spewing hatred at anyone who fails to faithfully recite the party line.

ROFL
You want to spew your hate, and not be interrupted.
{Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers.[1] Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism.[1] By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.[2]}
Yellow journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So we can see that you are an uneducated cretin who bandies about terms you don't grasp.
Neither Limbaugh nor Hannity can fit the bill of "Yellow Journalists" as neither are journalists nor do either purport to report the news. Even the news source you rely on, Comedy Central, is free from that charge.
The NY Times fits the bill, but editorials and commentators by definition cannot be "Yellow Journalists."
You're not an ignorant buffoon because you're a leftist, Sparky - you're a leftist because you're an ignorant buffoon.
While I don't do drugs or drink, I must admit that I do a fair amount of reading. I read over 70 books last year. However, I've never read Mein Kampf. But I must admit, that I would pick up a copy and thumb through it if I ever saw one. You? I don't know. You would either publicly come out in favor of burning it (along with a number of other books) or you would take it home to see if you could use some of 'dolf's ideas to further the conservative 'struggle.'
Hitler was a run of the mill leftist. He bitched about the raw deal labor got and the oppression visited on the working classes by the wealthy (Jews.) At the Mein Kampf state, he had no actual program, he needed Mussolini to define an economic program. Hitler was little more than a community organizer, at that point.
Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs
We all want the same things in life. We want freedom; we want the chance for prosperity; we want as few people suffering as possible; we want healthy children; we want to have crime-free streets. The argument is how to achieve them.
Liberals believe in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all. It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve problems.
Conservatives believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals. Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.
From a student type web site, a general set of statements about the differences between the belief system of 'liberal" and "conservative."

For a short-hand statement, that wasn't too horrible.
Did Adolph espouse "personal" responsibility? Nah. Did he think the Nazi government should be "limited?" Of course not. He did not much believe in free markets, since the State owned the businesses, by and large. Did he believe in personal liberty? Well, not for Jews, Poles, gays, Russians, etc. Now he did believe in a strong military power, but not so much "defense" as offensive. It looks like Hitler was indeed a liberal.
