You know, I would love to see a REAL marxist/socialist/whatever president, not a spineless center-right empty suit like Obama. Not because I actually like marxism, but because the tears from people like you would be so beautiful. |

I suppose the grass is always greener. Really people need to diversify their news sources. It's not the job of the news to agree with you or give you an opinion. Should just state the facts, and you have to use your own brain to interpret it.
The general rule out there is watch/listen the BBC. Gotta admit, when you hear the words "This is the BBC, and now for the news at 00:00 GMT" in that very british voice with big ben chiming you just trust them to be getting it right. |

That would be why I'm not a Marxist. I just hate people like you who think Obama is a Marxist/socialist/whatever*, and I want to watch from a safe distance as you experience what REAL Marxism is. Extreme stupidity deserves extreme punishment, after all.
*Hint for the clueless: he's not. By the standards of anyone who isn't a raving nutcase conservative, Obama is a center-right career politician with no real ideology beyond "get elected". |

If it's tears you like, you're in luck! Marxism is the most efficient system of distributing human misery ever created. Two problems with that statement: a) Marxism doesn't exist in the real world. Name one country where the working class has all the power.
b) Capitalism is much more efficient. Look at the British Empire and colonialism. Or the US's history with banana republics. Never underestimate the efficiency of capitalism. Raw capitalism only appears friendly because a capitalistic society needs to keep its own citizens happy. What you don't see is the abuse going on off-shore. Meaning, Wal-Mart prices are great for US citizens if you ignore where the products are made and the working conditions in those countries.
You can tell me what is and isn't Truth when you pry the tinfoil from my cold, lifeless head.

Listening to Fox News for extended periods of time has a habit of turning your brain into slush and making it pour out of your ears. When on a cable network you call the Muppets communists, and so on and so forth, you begin to lose a lot of credit to your name. |

Two kinds of media, two kinds of zombies.
CNN: zombies who like the welfare state. FOX: zombies who like the warfare state.
CNN: Socialism. FOX: Nationalism.

That argument is stupid. History is full of dictators from every kind of governement, and tyranny and socialism/capitalism/comunism/whatever are NOT related.

So... CNN and Fox are one and the same? Their ideology seems quite a bit different, as Fox leans more to the conservative right and CNN (to me) more to the liberal/central side of things.
Connecting the two together and getting National Socialism and connecting them to a certain previous political figure is illogical and pointless and has already shown off one of the online forum laws in effect; the longer a thread goes on, the better a likelihood is of there being a mention of Adolph ******.

Stop looking at the world with the dualist lens of left and right. There are other perspectives; from another perspective, CCN and FOX look very much the same.
Consider the perspective of Authoritarianism and Collectivism versus Individualism and Libertarianism. Using that perspective, both CCN and FOX promote the idea that the State is good. Though one promotes a more socialist view, and one is more nationalistic, both lead to the same authoritarian result.
The dualist left-right view is just what the powerful want the little sheep to use in their evaluations of the world, to keep people fighting and squabbling over trivial wedge issues while they, the powered interests do what they want, consuming your rights and your wealth.
This left-right charade goes on in just about every country in the West to one degree or another, it is tailor made for sheep and their subsequent fleecing. |

I thought Fox News was entertainment/fiction? Just designed to do outrageous things and whip up controversy, thereby drawing viewers and selling commercials. Commercials by giant corporations very interested in keeping things going their way (a.k.a. the right wing uncontrolled capitalism way). I could swear, if you look closely at the closing credits, you'll see "For Entertainment Purposes Only...."

To the above quote: People think it's Obama turning the U.S. into a socialist country? Pfft. That's happening by itself, with or without him. It's unstoppable.
And I only read Reuters and Al J Jazeera. They always have the same exact ****, though different opinions. Get to choose which one I like more(Al Jazeera is better for gruesome stuff) |

You see while everybody is squabbling over left versus right, the election process that sooooo many people say that sooo many soldiers gave their life for is corrupted as hell.

I like Fox News. Nothing wrong with it. They have opinion shows and they always present both sides of the story. They will have panelists from the left and the right.
The biggest problem with Fox news is the morons on the left who are seemingly incapable of differentiating between hard news and commentary. lol.
Why? Because they are used to the old guard media presenting leftward opinion as hard news.
Edit: To the OP:
Typical leftist GÇô wanting to control what others do. HereGÇÖs a hint GÇô if you donGÇÖt like it, turn the channel. |

Yes, really. I know it's not popular with the "in crowd" these days, but some times I like tuning into opinion pieces about politics and one of the stops on my dial is fox news.
I know, I know - you and others will call or infer that I am a hick/redneck/ obviously stupid / not right in the head etc etc but thatGÇÖs ok.
I donGÇÖt need to be in the GÇÿin crowdGÇÖ and if my opinion on wanting to watch opinion shows on fox news featuring great opinion people like Charles Krauthammer then I couldnGÇÖt really care less so have at it.

No I wont call you a hick or redneck. I would call it being uninformed and I strongly believe it is a mistake to get their news from those big networks, not just FOX NEWS. Same goes for the big papers and other media. Of course best solution is to always read summary of the news then get the spin from both left right and middle of the political spectrum to make a well informed opinion.
PS: I even watch it sometimes, I just make sure to always watch with a skeptical mind and never take their word for it. |
