Like Mr Dog, I find Mr Fats to be a fine fellow. They type that I would have no trouble sitting down and have a beer with. His posts just echo Fox News talking points, which is fine, but understand that sadly more times than not Fox News talking points and the facts on the ground are a wee bit different. Interesting that it took this long for the Nazi card to get dropped... You know which news channel is famous for comparing the current President to Nazi's? |

Ie: when I read Al Jazeera or Haaretz most of the time I am furious but I take a second and remember that there are other views that are equally skewed. |

Damn guys I have never been discussed so thoroughly behind my back (posts ). Some made me blush, oh my boots are thigh highs by the way.
As Scoundrel already stated lets everyone please remain some what civil to each other, okay? |

What about Love Camp 7?
Not to mention that The Night Porter is a mainstream movie and not a porno soft or hard. Granted Charlotte has done better work, ie: her role on Dexter, but her propensity for showing her boobies in her younger years hardly makes her work a porno. |

The question would be, are we both objecting to opposing views based on demonstrable factual error... or simply because someone isn't telling us what we want to hear? In the end, it's probably a good idea that both sides at least have a voice... to deliver the "real facts" (as they see them), & comforting reinforcement for dearly held illusions. If Fats sometimes agrees with FN's viewpoint, so what? I doubt he'd need their input to form his own opinion... which is just as valid, & based in "fact" as your own. I dislike both networks BTW (& haven't been nearly bored enough to watch either in a while). O'Reilly's a thug in a $1000 suit who writes & pimps books of lowest common denominator patriotism, Hannity's a bully, & Rachel Madow's an egregious oxygen bandit, IMO... yet all three occasionally, perhaps inadvertently, bumble across an issue it's good to hear addressed (Even a blind hog...)

Where people get the information that they base their opinions on is none of my business. A few posters have described him as parroting the talking points of the Fox network, and SF asked why. I do not share that belief regarding him, and probably should have let those who have made statements along those lines answer for themselves instead of adding my two cents worth on why they may think that way. I generally try to get facts from more than one source before declaring my opinions inviolable. PBS and BBC present their news in a more thought provoking manner without being an overt attempt to incite. That style is more appealing to me, and why I use them as sources of information. Quote:

I can't say I am much bothered by the fact that Israeli National News doesn't like the BBC; I rather like the fact, actually. I won't lie; I dislike Israel a lot. Its just that I dislike most of her neighbours a lot more.
There are much more serious grounds on which to criticise the BBC than that a semi fascist country doesn't like the coverage it is getting on BBC World News. The BBC played a very murky and sinister role in several of the celebrity-paedophile stories which have come to light in the last 3-4 years, Jimmy Savile in particular. It is supported by a statutory license fee, in effect a tax on every British household; but it has shown a wasteful and cavalier attitude to senior management bonuses and salaries which amounts to a fraud on the taxpayers. I'd like to see some blood spilt in the BBC (metaphorically of course). But the fact is that their World News coverage is excellent and widely recognised as excellent. The Israelis dislike it because it tells the truth about their disgraceful conduct whereas as far as I know, not one American news network will do so. However it is important to cast your net wider and not rely on one source only, which includes not relying only on the BBC. No news network is infallible and the BBC has been wrong many times.

You will note, that I rarely open with "Wow guess what nonsenseMegyn Kelly made up last night". Nope, almost every time I'm here correcting something that someone else posted. Often being asked for and almost always delivering quotes, links and documentation to support the correction. I do watch Fox News regularly, though not for new, more for entertainment. The short response, want me to stop taking Fox News to task? Simply stop posting their BS speaking points and hypocritical spin. |
