Read it and weep :lol:

Mr. Wolfson is joining a network that Democrats shunned for a time, complaining that its coverage was unfair. But aides to Mrs. Clinton came to view Fox News as distinctly fair to her in a news media climate that they believed favored Senator Barack Obama.

“I thought that Fox’s coverage during the primary was comprehensive and fair and evenhanded,â€￾ Mr. Wolfson said Monday in a telephone interview from Liverpool, England, where he was vacationing. “It’s a huge audience, and it is important to have a strong, progressive voice on the network.â€￾

The night Mrs. Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary, several months after Mrs. Clinton joined other Democrats in opting out of a debate that Fox News was to sponsor, her campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe declared live on Fox, “Fair and Balanced Fox!â€￾ (The network was first to declare her the victor that night.) Last month the network signed Lanny Davis, a former special counsel to Bill Clinton and a vocal support of Mrs. Clinton, as a contributor.

Where's Dan and Tom when we need them most?
 
Any organization that needs to say that they are" Fair and balanced" obviously has problem with being fair and balanced. That is why I have stopped watching CNN. Ever since Blitzer started saying that stupid tag line similar to FOX about the 'best political team...' or what ever he says. The people will make that determination with out your help, if you need to convince them of it, it just ain't so.
 
The 24hr cable news networks are all biased. They lean which ever way that is most popular at the time because they get more advertising dollars. I do not watch any of them except CNBC. And I know they are way biased in favor of corporate America. IMHO we have to be able to hear news and decipher what is fact and what is opinion. The problem in our great nation now is that schools are not teaching (or students are not learning) the ability to review material and figure out fact from opinion. I hear so many people just repeating what they have heard on TV from some spin doctor who has a particular political persuation. Ignorance is rampant.

It can be even worse with internet sources... when people start blindly repeating what they have heard on some blog (even anonymous blogs).
 
He he he......how's Al Franken and 'Air America' doing getting your message out?

Why do so many come on Hannitty's gig,Limbaugh's gig and so on and say they are Lib's/Dem's and what not and admit to being long time listeners?Is it the fact that they don't get anything from their side of the aisle??

Like I said....Truth Hurts..... :lol:

Thats a FAIR question, my GOOD cyber BUDDY !

Though I respect John McCain as a person,........ I DETEST his PARTY, their DISREGARD for the working stiff(Health care/Organized Labor/Tax breaks for the Rich/Disregard for people who their BANKING BUDDYS corn-hole via 30+% credit card Interest rates.. etc.) ,..BUT...their LOVE of BIG BUSINESS/Their wanting to continue a Phoney IRAQ War/Disregard for returning soldiers from said PHONEY WAR, for their Medical and Emotional needs/....................(DELL I can continue for HOURS and HOURS If you'd like).


Somebody PLEASE explain to me WHY, the GOP feels its MORE Important to give Tax breaks to Exxon-Mobile, than to help pass addition weeks of Unemployment security, for Poor buggers who've LOST their Jobs because of their jobs being Outsourced by said BIG Business's ??


DELL,
I'm a bit surprised that you've asked ME, such a POINTED question, that a 5th grader could have answered.

As to BO's (admitted by me)..lack of experience, you and the Country will feel Much better when BO is standing NEXT to his VP like someone like JOE BIDEN/BILL RICHARDSON !!!

(And trust me, a TOUGH East Coast IRISHMAN like JOE BIDEN, will tell Ahmedinajad(SP?) to go...."Shet in his FIST"....... BEFORE Johnny Mac will )!!!!!!!!!!!!.

So we need socialist/communist policy and programs from this street organizer

from Chi-town?

He can stand next to Coco the Clown for all I care......he's still an

extreme left wing liberal with socialist/communist roots and vision.

Notice McCain is popular with the pet crowd??....Obama has no pets they say....

know why?Because to Muslims,pets(animals) are UNCLEAN :blink:
 
I believe that air america did a pretty good job of getting thier message out because we have had record turnouts in the primariy elections. That shows how dissatisfied a large majority of our nation is with the current path that GW has lead us down. People want something different. It is time for our tax dollars to benefit the middle class and not just to line the pockets of the upper class. IMHO this will all be obvious come November. Of course there is still a lot of time for the Republicans to do thier dirty work and try to Swift Boat O'bama, they will play dirty like they always have to do to win. They cant win on their own platform. They have to resort to mud slinging instead of stumping about what thier intentions are for this great nation. If supporting policies and a president who will fight for the middle class and those who are losing thier jobs just so corporate american can fatten thier bank accounts that they keep over seas makes someone a liberal, or a socialist then I am a flaming liberal. What we have now is capitalism gone madd. When will those who really are not rich wake up and realize they are being played. You are being manipulated by spin campaigns. Look around, corporate america is selling our country out from under us and they do not care because they will have the wealth inorder to survive when those who are buying the US, decide to kick us out. (metaphorically speaking).
 
I don't think Air America had much if anything to do with the turnout.
Big 'O's surge was from the 18-25+ crowd.
Everybody hates Bush....savor that hate....in another country it might cost you your freedom.
I like the Republicans do their dirty work comment....Dude....the left is as good if not better...I can't believe you see it so one sided.

Of course there is still a lot of time for the Republicans to do thier dirty work and try to Swift Boat O'bama, they will play dirty like they always have to do to win.

You of course are aware of the Clintons,experts at deciept and personal destruction aren't you?
Wasn't it Teddy boy who drew the line for the party and started HC's downward slide?
We haven't seen the end of the Hillary game....wait until the convention.

They have to resort to mud slinging instead of stumping about what thier intentions are for this great nation.

Dude the Dem's perfected the art of lying and misinformation......parallels Goebell and Adolph's playbook.

What we have now is capitalism gone madd. When will those who really are not rich wake up and realize they are being played.

Notice the little capitalist experiment gone mad in China?

So we need marxist/communist policy and vision to straighten it out then?Thats all he is and a flamer can't see through that.

When will those who really are not rich wake up and realize they are being played. You are being manipulated by spin campaigns. Look around, corporate america is selling our country out from under us and they do not care because they will have the wealth inorder to survive when those who are buying the US, decide to kick us out.

Global trade,dude....its all for sale to the highest bidder.....America invests abroad too,you know.Whose bucks developed the third world??
Overseas investment didn't start under Bush.Try before Teddy Roosevelt and then some.
All those neat shoes and clothes and computers and cars and so on and so forth are made in American invested companies overseas exploiting lower wages which high wage unions brought on.
 

Dude...you post some jackleg cartoon from a blog.....thought I was bad.... :lol:

A 10-Part Series on Jimmy Carter — the Worst President in American History

Investor’s Business Daily takes a hard look at Jimmy Carter’s administration and compares it to that of George W. Bush, which Carter has called the worst ever.

Click here for all parts in the series

‘Malaise’ Maestro

Leadership: When it comes to economic performance, there’s no contest: Apart from the early years of the Depression, Jimmy Carter’s brief tenure as president was the worst in the 20th century.

Carter’s rather smug attempt to rank President Bush as the worst president ever wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t so wrong. The irony, of course, is that the peanut farmer from Plains, Ga., shares that distinction with a number of other presidential mismanagers of our nation’s economy.

Carter apparently has gotten so used to being called the “greatest living former presidentâ€￾ that he’s forgotten to consult the record. And what the record shows is he inherited a bad economy and made it worse — much worse — before a man named Ronald Reagan came in and changed course.

Here’s where things stood in 1980, Carter’s last year in office, and in subsequent periods:

• Carter: Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. The so-called “Misery Index,â€￾ which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election, 20.5%.

• Reagan’s last year: Interest rate, 9%. Inflation, 4.1%. Unemployment, 5.5%. Misery Index, 9.6%.

• Bush today: Interest rate, 8%. Inflation, 2.6%. Unemployment, 4.5%. Misery Index, 7.1%.


It’s not even close. The only question is: Why did things get so bad under Carter? And that’s a long story. The fundamental reason, however, is he made mistake after mistake, blinded by the leftist rhetoric his party adopted after the infamous ‘72 Democratic Convention, when the so-called New Left seized control.

In office, Carter adopted the Keynesian economics of the time, buying into the theory that there was a reverse “trade-offâ€￾ between inflation and unemployment — an idea that proved spectacularly wrong. The U.S. became mired in “stagflation,â€￾ with both inflation and unemployment rising sharply.

As things grew worse, Carter sharply boosted government spending. When that didn’t work, he blamed the American people. “I think it’s inevitable that there will be a lower standard of living than what everybody had always anticipated,â€￾ he told advisers in 1979. “The only trend is downward. But it’s impossible to get people to face up to this.â€￾

Those remarks were followed by his now-famous “malaiseâ€￾ speech in which he unveiled six proposals — including import quotas, windfall profits taxes and increased spending on alternative fuels — to combat higher oil prices charged by OPEC. Nothing about tax cuts. Nothing about finding more energy. In short, he told Americans to consume less, but pay more.

“We have learned that ‘more’ is not necessarily ‘better,’ and that even our great nation has its recognized limits,â€￾ Carter said, borrowing heavily from the “limits to growthâ€￾ movement that swept liberal intellectual circles in the ’70s.

With public anger growing and his own polls lagging, Carter started wearing sweaters and encouraging us to turn down the thermostat. But his big spending didn’t work. The resulting budget deficit, 12 times bigger than the one President Nixon left, gave him a serious public relations problem.

On this score, Carter might have escaped his own malaise if he had cut taxes to get the economy going again. But even with marginal income tax rates at a hefty 70%, he accepted the common wisdom that a tax cut would boost inflation and lower government revenue. He was dead wrong.

As noted in “The Commanding Heights,â€￾ a leading economic history of the last century, “Carter’s attempts to follow Keynes’ formula and spend his way out of trouble were going nowhere.â€￾

Eventually (but grudgingly), Carter did agree to slash the tax rate on capital gains to 28% from 40%. But that didn’t kick in until 1979. By then it was too late to help him politically.

Two other moves have garnered Carter praise: setting deregulation in motion and naming Paul Volcker as Fed chairman in 1979. Carter did begin deregulation, for which he deserves credit. And to be sure, Volcker clamped down on the growth in money supply, bringing on a deep recession but also killing the inflationary spiral.

Inflation, however, was already easing when Carter entered office. It was only after he named a political supporter, the late G. William Miller, as Fed chairman that prices really took off. Miller, who served only a year, is now viewed as the worst Fed chief ever.

Volcker? He wasn’t Carter’s choice. He was nominated only after a contingent of Wall Street power brokers, alarmed at the economy’s decline, went to the White House and demanded the appointment of the well-respected president of the New York Fed.

In his last years in office, Carter spoke of an “erosion of our confidence in the future.â€￾ But his failure to support the Shah of Iran led to a takeover of that oil-rich republic by fundamentalist Muslims, and a second Mideast oil shock hammered the economy and pushed inflation to new highs.

Desperate, Carter tried “voluntaryâ€￾ wage and price controls. They didn’t work. He tried credit controls. They didn’t work. He kept oil-price controls mostly in place, and created a vast new bureaucracy — the Energy Department — that has since wasted tens of billions of dollars without creating a single drop of new energy.

The result can be seen in key indicators of American well-being. Real median after-tax income fell nearly 3% during Carter’s last two years. For his entire term, productivity — the fuel for future growth in standards of living — rose a miserable 0.6% a year.

That’s why, when candidate Ronald Reagan said, “Ask yourself if you’re better off today than you were four years ago,â€￾ the answer came back a resounding “No.â€￾

Dude....go out on the back 26 and pray for salvation....Barack Hussien Obama.....Carter Lite....

So you go and dig some Jimmy Carter stats???

Put up some pro Bush stuff and get back on topic dude.

Are you lost without your tag teammate (Local 12)?

Your chart is misleading in the fact that it compares Clinton’s two terms in office verses Bush’s first. If the economic performance of the Clinton Administration was so obviously impressive, why would an extreme left leaning website need to misrepresent data to prove it?

Static representation of economic performance data used to compare the Clinton Administration to the Bush Administration will never accurately reflect the negative dynamic domino effect that the worst terrorist attack in our nations history had on our economy. There are several industries that have never fully recovered. During Clinton’s two terms in office he never faced a challenge of this magnitude.

This chart published by Business Week makes the Apples to Apples economic performance comparison of Clinton’s first term in office to Bush’s first term in office.
