Oh, & Craig, whether you think he's right or wrong makes no difference. I still think it's hilarious.



Well yeah... He's a pro, and very funny! Sadly, he is even right sometimes. :shock:

Well, hate to admit it... but a retraction is in order!

In reviewing the piece again, the pundits CERTAINLY DID, allude to the Prince as a sinister character, without naming him directly! I find it hard to believe that the pundits were unaware of his connection to their parent company, when they delivered that report! The deliberate act of NOT naming him, would seem to confirm that!

That makes them both DISHONEST -AND- STUPID, because how could they expect that no one would expose those facts eventually?

Shame on Fox News for that one!

As I have stated before...

"This is why I watch -ALL- the news programs. Amongst -ALL- of them, basic truths can be perceived. But depending on just one of them? You will get railroaded by ANY of them eventually!"

Come on Scott... Please just understand the "MAN " is coming on to your property and stealing from you under all the jurisdictions of LAW. You are tolerating it and condoning it. I do not have a clue why this is OK with you because for the most part it seems that you have a pretty big set of balls.

If they do build a Mosque there, I intend to open a GAY bar right next door..

IT will be called RAM-A-DAN. :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry Dan.

Big of you to admit it, Craig.

I have zero faith in American news, by ANY network, though I have to say that Fox appears to be the very worst of the worst to me. I still think they love to keep us divided, because it's such a great source of revenue through advertising for them, & it's always in their best interest to keep hitting us with those things that stir the paranoid instincts in us, & there's no shortage of that in this country these days, is there?

I find that I get far more accurate news, with far LESS bias, from Stewart & Colbert, than I do in any of the "real" news shows.

There are agendas & agendas, Craig. When I see the ones that rile ppl up, pitt them against each other, & frighten them with unnecessary spite, I'll usually choose just about anything else.

1) I am used to getting the short end of the stick (right upside my ever-loving head)

2) As for the gay bar, I thought it was already there.

What is ok with me has very little to do with what is.

What is the prayer?>

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

I'm not an alcoholic, although I don't like booze very much.
I suppose I should thank god for this, else I'd probably be right in the bottle along with the rest. I'd probably even get a warm welcome and asked to play a couple of tunes. lol

For this particular fiasco?


Team: BOTH! 8)


But in fairness, ALL of them do the same thing. Some are just more subtle about it. They "ALL" slant the news, or bury stories they don't want to spread, while driving into the ground, the ones they DO want spread. They -ALL- have an agenda. They are -ALL- beholden to the major corporations, which own them.

But for sheer AUDACITY, this one takes the cake!

They look like CLOWNS trying to pull that off, and expecting no one would call them on it!

Just to drive a point home... Media bias is EVERYWHERE, whether it is Fo News or CNN or the New York Times! Glenn Beck staged a rally at the Nation's Capital, and because it was on the same spot and date of Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic "I Have a Dream" speech, Beck came under fire by people like Al Sharpton.

Naturally, the left leaning media, was chomping at the bit to see the numbers be dismal. They weren't. But this is where immediately, the media bias is seen.

The New York Times headline for this news story for example, declared, that "thousands" attend Glenn Beck Rally in Washington, D.C.

Thousand huh?

Doesn't sound like too many people really.


Only, when you start reading the article, you THEN learn, that it was "TENS of thousands" who showed up for the event. Big difference from how "thousands" sounds. But even that is not accurate enough, because what was far less reported, was that the physical space the spectators took up, was TWICE as large as King's historic speech. Not only that, but there are estimates that between 300,000 and 500,000 showed up!

But you won't find many headlines stating that!

CBS News had an article, stating 87,000, but MOST other news agencies, decided not to mention the size in headlines, or leave it at "thousands" showed up. And most of those that neglected using numbers in their headlines, instead went after RACE! Saying things like "Mostly white crowds attend Beck rally." etc...

So, if anyone here is so NAIVE, they cannot realize that BIAS IS EVERYWHERE in the media, then what can be said?

Enjoy your delusions. :-)

Craig, I can see their point. I wouldn't want to encourage his sorry ass, either (OR any of his followers).

Our country is near bankruptcy in many ways. We refuse to protect our borders, We increase entitlment programs we can't afford, our military is booting people with neither an honorable or dishonerable discharge to avoid paying any benefits, and racism is rearing it's ugly head all over the place.
Remember, Obama singled out rich white executives moving to the suburbs to avoid helping inner city children.
Al Sharpton once again plays the race card. There are too many things wrong, that have to be fixed. The last thing we need is Racist pig playing his favorite trump card. He is just trying to incite violence, and If these are the kind of people you would follow, leave me out of it.
