All I know is that I think Barack "The Rock" Obama would do better in the WWE. Entertaining, yes. Says ridiculous things in front of large crowds, yes. Likes all kinds of attention, yes. Smokes cigs and drinks beer, yes. Athletic, yes. Likes to trash talk, yes. He's a perfect fit. You gotta understand, most of America is still in love with him from November 2008. He spent all their money and then some, didn't bring anything worthwhile back to them after spending the money, and is pretty much bullying them into doing whatever he tells them to do, but he's so charming doing it that they can't say no. Called it Battered Wife Syndrome - Political Style. "Oh, I know he's doing bad things to me, but I'm still in love with him and I can't leave him...and...any day now he's gonna change for the better....honest..."

If you think Fox news is balanced...then you also must think MSNBC is balanced. MSNBC has totally sold out to GE/ Obama etc....It's the Obot love-fest network. Thank you for your comprehension of my statement...I never said that MSNBC was balanced...only that if you think Fox is, then they must be also ...in other words, both are quite skewed. e.g. -Obama pats a kid on the shoulder -MSNBC would show him deflecting away a bullet form the kid and saving his life -Fox would show his smacking the kid and throwing him into the path of the bullet.

Totally disagree. MSNBC may be skewed, but no news organization is as skewed as Fox. It's not even close. MSNBC, for instance, doesn't make things up.

Sorry...shouldn't have equated them as much as I did...my point was that anyone that knocks MSNBC, and doesn't think that Fox is at least as skewed is completely out of touch with reality.

Remember, when you are way off on the far right, there's not a lot of difference between the center and the left.

When i do watch MSNBC, I normally just watch The Rachel Maddow Show. She has a really good research team.

To me, that's the difference. You can lean to the right or left, but if you're still dealing with facts you retain credibility.
Fox doesn't give a s*** about facts or even an honest debate.

I was Rachel Maddow before Rachel Maddow was cool. ;D Rachel often had news stories on a week before they hit the mainstream media. And long after the regular news stopped covering Iraq, she was always reporting on it. Moreover, she paid attention to it. Every time the Pentagon would report that they "just captured" some Al Queda big-wig, she would go back in the archives and discovered that it was the same person they had reported catching 18 months ago.

That's some good stuff by her. Another reason why I do like her, is because she doesn't have moments of hysterical outburst like other political show hosts sometimes do where the host and the guest(s) go at each other like two children having a screaming match. She stays calm and delivers.

People try to make Air America out to be a joke, but it has had good people: Franken, Maddow, Schultz, Hartmann -- to name a few.
