Now it's all coming out, on both sides of the pond, that Murdochs lackeys have been hacking mobile phones etc, So what did you expect from him? Fairplay?
Note the difference here. MSNBC is run as a corporate media outlet. Fox News is run as a corporate political propaganda outlet, complete with marching orders for the reporters and news actors and previously scripted interviews acted out on camera, etc., not asking fair questions in real live interviews, and dishonest editing of clips to make their friends looks good and their enemies look bad.
@JawsJaws lol.. just because there are a bunch of crazy loons in one place doesn't mean anything at all.. the IQ of a Bill'O the clown listener is lower than the monkeys laughing at his program at the zoo
@cheezombie Never said you defended Olbermann what I said still rings true he is an utter failure. You make not agree with Fox but it is still the number 1 network for cable news whether you think its news or not.
@H0VA Also, what the hell was the point in the Olberman comment in the first place? I couldn't give a rats ass about him. Also, what makes you think I'm a liberal? Calling any of the "news networks" news is giving them too much credit.
@cheezombie You are definitely a liberal don't try to act like you aren't and don't you dare say you are an Independent, that just means you are an indecisive liberal.
the last part he said was the key part of this whole clip. it's not about news, it's not about truth, it's not about honest journalism. it's about money. whatever sells is what gets aired and gets promoted.
it doesn't matter if fox spins the truth. they'll do what they have to do to make money... and the same goes for msnbc and all other mainstream "news"
All I can say, keep attacking Fox News! You're boosting their ratings exponentially! I love all you left wing commen-haters sizzling on the frying pan. Woops, where's Olbermann? I mean, he was just here a minute ago. LOL. MADDanduglyasanOX is next. I love it.
He calls people he thinks are morons, morons. "Unbiased" is a loaded word. Never said it. My point was that OPINION news ratings sway with the political winds. Progressives go up before an uptick for your liberals, conservative media swings before favor swings back to your republicans. As to his bias, you made him famous for calling iraq a lie, just that he said it before that was mainstream. All you US conservatives who pile on the hate on him are doing so for his timing.
Interesting to watch an old clip. A ... LOT of people like to try and put KO in his place. Ironically, he already seems to know it quite well. Though in fairness this was 06. In 08 He was averaging about 80% of Factor's audience in the demo, though still 1/3 overall. And occasionally beating Bill. This has slipped around the midterms. Too soon to tell but could this be an indication that opinion news outfits sway with the political winds? Or is it the other way around?
@RyanR3volution You do know Glenn Beck is against the bailouts and the patriot act right? I forgot you only watch Keith Olbermann and can't form an opinion of your own.
Olbermann is a snail, Beck supported the bailouts, torture, the Patriot act, Israel, and many other dangers to America. I listen to Judge Andrew Napalitano, thats it.
@RyanR3volution I'm going to declare this as progress because you made 1 correct statement out of 3. Glenn Beck does support democracy and freedom in the middle east hence why he supports Israel.
I thought America is a Republic, why would we be propping up democracies? Our founders were not very fond of democracy. Madison said, " "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths"
I thought the founders said no entangling alliances.
@RyanR3volution I propose a simple experiment to see who is more free. Have a lady walk down the street in Israel in a bikini and then perform the same things in one of your Islamic republics.
I totally agree about Republics, but when talking to most people they have no ideas what the difference between a democracy and a republic is so I typically say democracy. BTW Glenn Beck also supports republics over democracies.
It does not matter whether another country is a republic or a totalitarian regime. America has 0 Constitutional authority and 0 obligation to be involved with their gov. Fuck allies, the founders warned against the implications of allies. Alliances with none, peace and trade with all.
Glenn Beck just copied off Judge Andrew Napalitano and the Ron Paul people. He does not point to the military industrial complex or special interests, just college proffersors and such.
When these guys are on , i turn the channel, i find myself doing that alot to fox , to say there arent libs on fox is to say you dont watch it! Theres way to goddamn many!
The ratings declines for Countdown with Keith Olbermann continue. Year over year declines for the first 3 months of 2010 ranged from 40-45% in the cable news advertiser target adults 25-54 demo, and between 21-29% among average viewership FOX KILLS THIS GUY HE WILL BE OUT VERY SOON LOOKING FOR A JOB
You never see people from faux news call out Olbermann. Why is that? Ever think of that? If anyone of you people would just sit down and record olbermann's show and take in to account what he is saying you would have no argument against him. People who criticize him, criticize his persona but never factual inaccuracies or general content because they can't find anything to criticize on him in terms of those aspects.
I am a lifelong Democrat, and I really don't get how Fox is hated so much. Fox has more Democrats on that MSNBC has Republicans. Additionally, whenever MSNBC has a Republican on, they are not very respectful of them.
@fahs Hey, you are not supposed to be a free thinker, what is your problem? You sound like an intelligent openminded person. It is too bad the whole country didn't think thing through as well as you do. Slamming and name calling has never helped or solved anything. I am a registered Republican, and I can't stand the kid games from either side. Do dems or repubs really have our best interest in mind anymore? I doubt it. Thanks for sharing your opinion with us :)
It's an interesting question. As someone who watches neither station( I live in Italy) I can say that on the YT community there are some great people like LiberalViewer and TYT tearing it out of fox news, whereas I haven't found any such really intelligent criticism of MSNBC, even though its liberal bias may be as strong as Fox news' conservative one. Mind you, from my experience Olbermann's bias comes as comment, whereas Hannity, Beck et al distort to make their point.
@GstateBALLER925 There is a difference. The Afghanisatan war was sanctioned by the United Nations with many different countries contributing troops and/or support. The incursion into Iraq was NOT sanctioned by the UN and only a couple of countries (most notably Great Britain) joined in. Obama in Afghanistan is continuing a UN Resolution.
@Kaalec You should check into the amount of countries that Iraq owed debt to. You may find an interesting fact. And who really cared about not going into Afghanistan? Most countries would love to become trade partners with the country, but the unstable climate there made it impossible. I think there might just have been a little more there than just other countries willingness to out Bin Laden. Besides, after 9/11, no one wanted to sound like they were unsympathetic to our loss.
@danielharmonizer If debt were a criterion for invading another country, the United States, Canada and several other western nations would be ripe for the picking. Your grasp of geopolitics is tenuous, at best. I'm not going to waste time discussing it with you further.
Do you Fox News fans ever brag about anything but ratings? Ever care to gloat about O'Reilly, Hannity and Beck actually checking their facts and being truthful to their viewers? Oh thats right... they cant do that because they lie on a daily basis. Go ahead, have your ratings. The more you all care about ratings than the actual truth, the more the democrats look good.
Another valiant effort in propping up your conservative heroes, but you continue to look foolish. Nice try.
We don't need to brag about anything because the American people are finally waking up to the fact that Fox News says nothing but facts! The fact that Obama is trying like hell to turn this country into a socialized nation! The fact that Obama is nothing but a lying politician just like the rest of them which would account for the fact that his approval ratings have DROPPED by 20% since he took office just a few short months ago.!!
Fox and "facts" should not be allowed in the same sentence... its ridiculous. I can point out 10 lies fox news has said just in the past week alone. If you think they tell facts, you have serious issues. And just because people are watching fox does not mean they are "waking up". People watch American Idol and Spongebob Squarepants too? It doesnt mean a thing. Please point out one lie Obama has stated... good luck with that. And Obamas approval is better than any president has had in decades.
1. He said he would NOT sign any bill with earmarks. Well he signed the Omnimus Spending Bill with close to 9000 earmarks in it.
2. He claimed he would have a "transparent goverment". Well he signed that bill behind closed doors with NO cameras of any kind allowed in the room. Doesn't sound too "tarnsparent" does it??
He LIES like the rest!
Obama had over 80% approval when elected. Now that had DROPPED to the mid 60% range.
1) Last week on Thursday, Ralph Reed on Hannity's program claimed that the cap-and-trade system is regressive even though the Congressional Budget Office proved that households in the lowest income quintile would see an average net benefit of about $40 per year.
2) Hannity again falsely claimed that President Obama made a campaign promise of "no earmarks", when in fact, Obama actually promised to reform the earmark process and cut wasteful spending, not to end all earmarks.
1. It is regressive. While the lowest income might see $40, the rest of Amercia would see an increase in the taxes and power bills. Obama said it himself during the campaign.
2. Obama DID make the promise of no earmarks! But he LIED about that! You need to open your ears!
Unfortunately, what the sources in your brilliant googling idea fail to mention is that Obama pledged to "ban all earmarks" in his "recovery and reinvestment plan". Those sources misrepresent his words and claim that he would ban earmarks in general. Stop believing the far-right propaganda from fox news.
1. No, it is not regressive for the people making under $250k. President Obama said it, promised it, and he is sticking to his promise. You have yet to offer any evidence that proves to the contrary, and you are making ridiculous accusations.
2. He never stated "no earmarks". He said he will "go line by line through every item in the federal budget and eliminate programs that don't work and make sure that those that do work, work better and cheaper." Show me a quote that disproves my evidence.
3) The Fox & Friends hosts claimed that Gerald Walpin, Alan Carlin and Fred Weiderhold, three supposed "whistleblowers", had been "silenced" by the Obama Administration when there is no evidence of such a thing happening.
4) On O'Reilly's program, with Juan Williams hosting, Bernard Goldberg was a guest and made several false claims (without any evidence) about global warming and that many scientists reject the idea of any warming when there is proof that shows the contrary.
3. That whistleblower thing is an opinion and not necessarily a lie. Besides, do you think Obama will come out and say his admin. "silenced" someone? No admin would do that! So doesn't qaulify as a "lie".....sorry.
4. Goldberg is right. There actually is a list of over 600 scientists that have said publicly that global warming is a HOAX!! Evene the Pres., CEO, and Founder of the Weather Channel has come out publicly and said Global Warming is the biggest HOAX since the Y2K scare!!!
3. No, that is not an opinion, it's a baseless claim made by a bunch of fox news hosts who don't have any sources to back up their lies. And it doesn't matter if the Obama Administration comes out and says anything because the allegations are ridiculous.
4. No, Goldberg is not right. And even if 600 scientists (source?) claim such a thing, there are just as much, or even more, that have evidence of global warming being real. Why would anybody care about what the Weather Channel CEO says? Please.
I would show you more lies made by Fox, but it would take all day. I'll be happy to show you more later. But for now, I think you get the picture.
as for your claims about Obama's lies:
1. As I mentioned with the Hannity lie, he never said no earmarks. He stated that he would go line by line and reform the earmarks that shouldn't be there.
2. What exactly do you define a "transparent government" as? Camera's spying on him in the White House? And he has signed many bills while on camera.
1. Obama did say that he "would not sign any bills that has earmarks in it". On top of that, he doesn't have the power for a line item veto. So your claim of him to "go line by line" is WRONG, the Pres. doesn't have that power!! Sorry jack.
2. Obama claimed he would have a "transparent goverment", and he signed every other bill before that one in front of cameras being "transparent". But this one had earmarks in it, so he signed it behind closed doors and at night!!!
Obama is no better than any other politician.....he lies like the rest and you need to realize that!!!! Look beyond the bumper stickers, and the hopey mcchange bullcrap and see what's actually happening instead of thinking that every single word that comes out of his mouth is true and following him like a drone.
I never said that Obama is the best politician ever. I also never said that he never lies. Stop misrepresenting me. There are many issues I disagree with him on. You need to realize that you can get more facts from Fox News, who can't even state facts as it is. I don't have Obama bumper stickers on my car either. I am not a billboard. I also don't think that every single word coming out of his mouth is true... where did i say that? My point is you lie when you criticize him, and so does Fox.
1. He said the recovery and reinvestment plan would contain no earmarks, whereas the fed. budget does. You are clearly getting lies from fox news who states these falsehoods all the time. He doesn't have the power? He is the POTUS. If anything, he would have to confirm his decisions with Congress. Other than that, he is allowed. I'm Kevin, not jack.
2. Obama never stated that a "transparent" government would be signing every bill in public. How would you know what time of day he signed them?
Regarding his approval ratings, what do you expect him to do? Stay at 80% for his entire presidency? No president does that. However, compared to past president's, namely President Bush, he has a higher approval rating than he does and it will continue to be higher because Bush was a horrendous president who couldn't even speak coherently without fumbling over simple words. Very embarrassing, to say the least. With that, his approval plummeted more and more each month.
By the way, Glenn Beck hasn't had good ratings for 3 years... he has only had a show on Fox for close to 7 months, where he started to get his high ratings. When Beck was on CNN, his ratings were in the toilet and he couldn't even beat Rachel Maddow's new show. Since he was so desperate, he decided to suck Murdoch's dick to get a new outlet for hate.
Beck didn't have good rating for 3 years b/c he was on CNN which has worse ratings as whole than even MSNBC. He didn't suck anyones dick, Fox recruited him b/c CNN was censoring him and his views.........great free speech huh? Just like a left leaning network to censor something they don't like to hear....the Democraps are famous for that!! Now that he's on Fox and can actually say what he wants, his ratings and wallet have gotten fatter without the censorship.
Actually, if you would check the facts you claim to adhere to, you would know that CNN's ratings weren't too bad a few years ago, even before the election. Censoring his views? He was just as vile and making as controversial of remarks as he is now, but he just has a bigger outlet to do it from. He had free speech, stop your complaining. No "left leaning" network censors anything... you are living in some fantasy land. Oh yeah, he says what he wants... a bunch of lies and propaganda. Nice one.
I know they "weren't too bad a few years ago", but they were still worse as a whole than MSNBC's ratings.
Yes they WERE censoring him by telling him what he could and could NOT say while he was on the air!!!! That my friend is censorship wether you want to admit it or not!!!!
You say what you need to say in order to make yourself feel better. Politicians and networks ALL bend the truth a bit in order to cater to the audience they have.FACT is Fox STILL kicks MSNBC's ass in rating EVERY nite!
No, actually, CNN's ratings were much better than MSNBC's a few years ago prior to the election. They have only gotten really bad recently. OK, fine, go believe your conspiracy theories. Whatever helps you sleep at night. It's obvious your level of paranoia is reaching great lengths, and I won't even bother comprehending it. Yes, networks do bend the truth to fit a certain agenda, and nobody does it more than Fox. They can get all the ratings they want... they STILL lie and spew propaganda.
First, I don't believe in conspiracy theories. Those that do, I think are complete nutjobs just like the lefty loons and I get a good laugh from both of them. (You fall into the lefty loon category)
I'm not "paraniod" at all. I just question anything, any politician says.
You say Fox lies and spews propaganda. Well the exact same could be said for MSNBC, CNN, and all the rest. I suggest you watch the movie Media Malpractice. It would shed light on this for you.
How do you not believe in conspiracy theories when you are clearly a huge fan of Fox News where Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity come up with their ridiculous claims about Obama and the Dems that are complete BS? Beck keeps talking about fema camps, socialism and getting our liberties taken away. All lies and paranoia. Lefty loon? Typical name calling and labeling by you people. I happen to be a Libertarian, thanks. Yes, you are very paranoid with all the stuff you have claimed here. Get a clue.
Yes, Fox lies, as do MSNBC and CNN. Did i deny that? My point is Fox has a certain method of where they make up facts, read republican talking points, scare peoplw with fear mongering, incite violence and pretend they are "fair and balanced" when they are nothing of the sort. They are blatantly dishonest and will never live up to their slogan. Why would anybody in their right mind take a movie made by a far-right, dishonest nut like John Ziegler seriously? What a joke. That movie is pure comedy.
Oh.... Olbermann *talking about* Fox News! now that title makes sense!

It doesnt mean a thing. Please point out one lie Obama has stated... good luck with that. And Obamas approval is better than any president has had in decades.

Please point out the supposed lies you speak of.
Obama lies...
1. He said he would NOT sign any bill with earmarks. Well he signed the Omnimus Spending Bill with close to 9000 earmarks in it.
2. He claimed he would have a "transparent goverment". Well he signed that bill behind closed doors with NO cameras of any kind allowed in the room. Doesn't sound too "tarnsparent" does it??
He LIES like the rest!
Obama had over 80% approval when elected. Now that had DROPPED to the mid 60% range.

1) Last week on Thursday, Ralph Reed on Hannity's program claimed that the cap-and-trade system is regressive even though the Congressional Budget Office proved that households in the lowest income quintile would see an average net benefit of about $40 per year.
2) Hannity again falsely claimed that President Obama made a campaign promise of "no earmarks", when in fact, Obama actually promised to reform the earmark process and cut wasteful spending, not to end all earmarks.

1. It is regressive. While the lowest income might see $40, the rest of Amercia would see an increase in the taxes and power bills. Obama said it himself during the campaign.
2. Obama DID make the promise of no earmarks! But he LIED about that! You need to open your ears!

Type "obama earmarks" in the search and watch the videos for yourself to see what a LIAR Obama is on his "no earmarks" claim!!!
nextdrink45 2 years ago
Unfortunately, what the sources in your brilliant googling idea fail to mention is that Obama pledged to "ban all earmarks" in his "recovery and reinvestment plan". Those sources misrepresent his words and claim that he would ban earmarks in general. Stop believing the far-right propaganda from fox news.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
1. No, it is not regressive for the people making under $250k. President Obama said it, promised it, and he is sticking to his promise. You have yet to offer any evidence that proves to the contrary, and you are making ridiculous accusations.
2. He never stated "no earmarks". He said he will "go line by line through every item in the federal budget and eliminate programs that don't work and make sure that those that do work, work better and cheaper." Show me a quote that disproves my evidence.

3) The Fox & Friends hosts claimed that Gerald Walpin, Alan Carlin and Fred Weiderhold, three supposed "whistleblowers", had been "silenced" by the Obama Administration when there is no evidence of such a thing happening.
4) On O'Reilly's program, with Juan Williams hosting, Bernard Goldberg was a guest and made several false claims (without any evidence) about global warming and that many scientists reject the idea of any warming when there is proof that shows the contrary.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
3. That whistleblower thing is an opinion and not necessarily a lie. Besides, do you think Obama will come out and say his admin. "silenced" someone? No admin would do that! So doesn't qaulify as a "lie".....sorry.
4. Goldberg is right. There actually is a list of over 600 scientists that have said publicly that global warming is a HOAX!! Evene the Pres., CEO, and Founder of the Weather Channel has come out publicly and said Global Warming is the biggest HOAX since the Y2K scare!!!

3. No, that is not an opinion, it's a baseless claim made by a bunch of fox news hosts who don't have any sources to back up their lies. And it doesn't matter if the Obama Administration comes out and says anything because the allegations are ridiculous.
4. No, Goldberg is not right. And even if 600 scientists (source?) claim such a thing, there are just as much, or even more, that have evidence of global warming being real. Why would anybody care about what the Weather Channel CEO says? Please.

I would show you more lies made by Fox, but it would take all day. I'll be happy to show you more later. But for now, I think you get the picture.
as for your claims about Obama's lies:
1. As I mentioned with the Hannity lie, he never said no earmarks. He stated that he would go line by line and reform the earmarks that shouldn't be there.
2. What exactly do you define a "transparent government" as? Camera's spying on him in the White House? And he has signed many bills while on camera.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
1. Obama did say that he "would not sign any bills that has earmarks in it". On top of that, he doesn't have the power for a line item veto. So your claim of him to "go line by line" is WRONG, the Pres. doesn't have that power!! Sorry jack.
2. Obama claimed he would have a "transparent goverment", and he signed every other bill before that one in front of cameras being "transparent". But this one had earmarks in it, so he signed it behind closed doors and at night!!!
Cont'd......

Obama is no better than any other politician.....he lies like the rest and you need to realize that!!!! Look beyond the bumper stickers, and the hopey mcchange bullcrap and see what's actually happening instead of thinking that every single word that comes out of his mouth is true and following him like a drone.
nextdrink45 2 years ago
I never said that Obama is the best politician ever. I also never said that he never lies. Stop misrepresenting me. There are many issues I disagree with him on. You need to realize that you can get more facts from Fox News, who can't even state facts as it is. I don't have Obama bumper stickers on my car either. I am not a billboard. I also don't think that every single word coming out of his mouth is true... where did i say that? My point is you lie when you criticize him, and so does Fox.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
1. He said the recovery and reinvestment plan would contain no earmarks, whereas the fed. budget does. You are clearly getting lies from fox news who states these falsehoods all the time. He doesn't have the power? He is the POTUS. If anything, he would have to confirm his decisions with Congress. Other than that, he is allowed. I'm Kevin, not jack.
2. Obama never stated that a "transparent" government would be signing every bill in public. How would you know what time of day he signed them?
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
Regarding his approval ratings, what do you expect him to do? Stay at 80% for his entire presidency? No president does that. However, compared to past president's, namely President Bush, he has a higher approval rating than he does and it will continue to be higher because Bush was a horrendous president who couldn't even speak coherently without fumbling over simple words. Very embarrassing, to say the least. With that, his approval plummeted more and more each month.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
By the way, Glenn Beck hasn't had good ratings for 3 years... he has only had a show on Fox for close to 7 months, where he started to get his high ratings. When Beck was on CNN, his ratings were in the toilet and he couldn't even beat Rachel Maddow's new show. Since he was so desperate, he decided to suck Murdoch's dick to get a new outlet for hate.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
Beck didn't have good rating for 3 years b/c he was on CNN which has worse ratings as whole than even MSNBC. He didn't suck anyones dick, Fox recruited him b/c CNN was censoring him and his views.........great free speech huh? Just like a left leaning network to censor something they don't like to hear....the Democraps are famous for that!! Now that he's on Fox and can actually say what he wants, his ratings and wallet have gotten fatter without the censorship.
nextdrink45 2 years ago
Actually, if you would check the facts you claim to adhere to, you would know that CNN's ratings weren't too bad a few years ago, even before the election. Censoring his views? He was just as vile and making as controversial of remarks as he is now, but he just has a bigger outlet to do it from. He had free speech, stop your complaining. No "left leaning" network censors anything... you are living in some fantasy land. Oh yeah, he says what he wants... a bunch of lies and propaganda. Nice one.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
I know they "weren't too bad a few years ago", but they were still worse as a whole than MSNBC's ratings.
Yes they WERE censoring him by telling him what he could and could NOT say while he was on the air!!!! That my friend is censorship wether you want to admit it or not!!!!
You say what you need to say in order to make yourself feel better. Politicians and networks ALL bend the truth a bit in order to cater to the audience they have.FACT is Fox STILL kicks MSNBC's ass in rating EVERY nite!
nextdrink45 2 years ago
No, actually, CNN's ratings were much better than MSNBC's a few years ago prior to the election. They have only gotten really bad recently. OK, fine, go believe your conspiracy theories. Whatever helps you sleep at night. It's obvious your level of paranoia is reaching great lengths, and I won't even bother comprehending it. Yes, networks do bend the truth to fit a certain agenda, and nobody does it more than Fox. They can get all the ratings they want... they STILL lie and spew propaganda.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
First, I don't believe in conspiracy theories. Those that do, I think are complete nutjobs just like the lefty loons and I get a good laugh from both of them. (You fall into the lefty loon category)
I'm not "paraniod" at all. I just question anything, any politician says.
You say Fox lies and spews propaganda. Well the exact same could be said for MSNBC, CNN, and all the rest. I suggest you watch the movie Media Malpractice. It would shed light on this for you.
nextdrink45 2 years ago
How do you not believe in conspiracy theories when you are clearly a huge fan of Fox News where Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity come up with their ridiculous claims about Obama and the Dems that are complete BS? Beck keeps talking about fema camps, socialism and getting our liberties taken away. All lies and paranoia. Lefty loon? Typical name calling and labeling by you people. I happen to be a Libertarian, thanks. Yes, you are very paranoid with all the stuff you have claimed here. Get a clue.
GstateBALLER925 2 years ago
Yes, Fox lies, as do MSNBC and CNN. Did i deny that? My point is Fox has a certain method of where they make up facts, read republican talking points, scare peoplw with fear mongering, incite violence and pretend they are "fair and balanced" when they are nothing of the sort. They are blatantly dishonest and will never live up to their slogan. Why would anybody in their right mind take a movie made by a far-right, dishonest nut like John Ziegler seriously? What a joke. That movie is pure comedy.
