I actually just heard someone say Fox and Rush are the only fair people in the media

[SamCooke]

Wow. Just when u think the country as a whole is maturing.



This was on CSPAN and the woman called in and called everybody that attended the WH Dinner snobs and she apparently didn't understand why they all hate Rush and FoxNews.

[rpannier]

1. If by 'fair' they are referring to skin color

then I wholeheartedly agree

[uppityperson]

25. Thank you for my comeback line next time someone tells me that

Working where I do, can't talk politics, but saying something along that line "yes, they all do have really light fair skin" might work

[CoffeeCat]

2. Yes, because that is what is drilled into their neurons...

Have you ever listened to Rush? He drones on and on about how he's the only truth teller
out there. He's doing the nation a service--saying things that the "liberal media" won't.

Rush has convinced a bunch of ingrates that they are living in a horrible, awful world where
the liberals control the media and socialism is coming to their neighborhood. He gets them
all riled up, scared and feeling like this country is a burning shitbox--and he steps in as
the savior who loves them and will tell them the truth.

Same with Fox. That entire station positions itself as the alternative to the horrible liars
in the "liberal media".

Isn't that such a frickin joke! By now, anyone who hasn't figured out that the media isn't liberal--but
owned by the corporations who are running this country--are so far gone, they're beyond repair.

They've got it perfectly set up. Rush, Fox and the rest of the Fascist, corporatist hacks who are destroying
this country, can cry "liberal media!!" whenever anyone in the media even remotely comments on their
crimes.

It's quite the boondoggle.

3. Ditto for O'liely

Billo has the gall to cal his radio show "The No Spin Zone". If it don't look like spin to Bill, then his eyeballs are running on booze-cooled ceramic ball bearings.

4. "called everybody that attended the WH Dinner snobs"

So, Glenn Beck, Michael Steele and the rest of Fox News are Obama-schmoozing snobs?

[MrModerate]

5. It's a big country. Based on probability alone . . .

The number of moron-Americans is likely to be high.

[Skittles]

6. try to have a conversation with someone who only listens to FOX and Rush

it will tell you everything you need to know about what is wrong with America

[Bluzmann57]

8. I've tried. But I just can't do it anymore

Too old to attempt it anymore. Besides, I do not wish to waste time and energy on these fools.

[Skittles]

24. that's what I told Shawn at work

he tries but I tell him I just don't have the time or the energy to deal with such profound ignorance - it literally makes my head hurt

[Enthusiast]

11. Right on, Skittles.

There is no conversation. They are convinced that Fox News is a bastion of truth is a sea of left wing propaganda.

[Lilyeye]

7. My sister's co-worker tried to get her to watch it.

My sister doesn't watch cable news so she doesn't really know the difference. I happened to bring up Fox News and she mentioned that one of her co-workers suggested that she watch it. He claimed it was the only fair and non biased cable news station. :eyes:

[old mark]

9. If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that "maturing"

thing....
I have been waiting for that since about 1965.

[Enthusiast]

10. I heard the same call.

Many Faux Listeners believe them when they claim to be fair and balanced. Faux News watchers must be of an extra-gullible type personality. This must be a sort of pathology.

[Enthusiast]

12. The factory where my son works

recently had a change in plant managers. Now Fox News is tuned in on break room TVs. They used to have CNN on. This is a Union shop.

[AspenRose]

13. CSPAN caller. Figures.

They get some real doozies on the phone line. :crazy:

[RoadRage]

14. I've heard people say Obama is a secret muslim terrorist who was born in Kenya..

and i'm sure I probably heard this from your source too. ;) That does't make it true.. it just makes them look stoooopid.

I'd tell you to get upset about it.. but Obama won. No need to frett!!

[stillcool]

15. One of the 30%'ers..

although I think that number has gone down as well, hasn't it?

[Ikonoklast]

16. I see them more as carnies than fair people.

Lots of locals work our county fair, but whenever the carnival shows up, lock your doors and check your wallet.

[Cha]

17. THat's just one stupid person saying that..

THe country on the whole is getting SMARTER.

[gkhouston]

18. Wow. Hulu really IS a front for brain-eating aliens. n/t

[Mz Pip]

19. Fox and Rush validate their

bigotry, paranoia and prejudices. Of course people like that woman think FOX and Limpballs are fair. They want their beliefs reinforced and FOX and Rush do a good job of keeping the wacko's fears fueled.

[Vidar]

20. FOX repeats its "Fair & Balnced" meme 24 hrs a day--& it works.

[lunatica]

21. They're confusing the word fair with the far right version of the word empathy

Rush has empathy only for his kind. He feel deeply the pain of the rich having to pay taxes, or having to be equal to the poor. Man, oh man! HE really feels their pain! And that's FAIR!

[Uncle Joe]

22. Was Rush being fair when he mocked Michael J. Fox's tremors from Parkinson's Disease? n/t

[MadMaddie]

23. The Rush listeners thought that was funny! See it was just a joke

The joke is on them....they can't take a joke. Typical bully personalities!!
