Obama was willing to meet with every dictator of the world, but never Fox news. Dennis Kucinich was the only liberal with the balls to go on fox news. Lost, but his attempt was admirable.

@snowtrot Can you provide an example of this "Marxist-type talk"?

Why shouldn't this be a question?

[ashburnhouse]

These guys are retarded.

To that person who called msnbc marxist, honestly do you know what ur saying when do you see them calling for a revolution of the proletariat to seize the means of production. They might be left leaning but calling them Marxist is rediculous

@TheHabit00 Spoken like a true conservative!

[Tribune12345]

@vhsballin31 90% of journalists admitted to being conservative. 8% was no affiliation. 2% was liberal.

See what I did there?

@issanel Anthony Weiner did too. Congessman from New York. I like Dennis too, he's a good guy ask Ron Paul.

@bapyou Excellent comment! And as far as reading above a 5th grade level, I'm sure they could. It's just comprehension above the 5th grade level that they can't accomplish. Danny Schecter is also an excellent critic of how the media operates, as well. Reading the stupidity drenched comments from the right on this video is nothing short of predictable. The only people who think the media is overwhelmingly liberal are people who want their narrative catered too, regularly.

@yellowkrux No he can't. He's just parroting Talk radio points. I doubt he's ever read Marx in his life. That's why his comment is so demonstrably stupid.
