I read down the page a bit that the skepticism of President Obama crosses party lines. Do you mean like the Palin Republican party, the Gingrich Republican party, the Fox Republican party, the Rush Republican party, the Cheney Republican party, the Tea Bagger Republican party, the Truther Republican party, the Birther Republican party. I know none of them want to be associated with Bush so I’ll leave his Republican party out.
I couldn’t help myself, it was just to easy to pass up.

Tanner, it's pretty pathetic that instead of responding with your opinion of the 30 Republican Senators who voted pro-rape all you can do is insult me and continue to berate me about signing my name. I haven't noticed you bothering those right-wingers whom you agree with about signing their names.

Tanner, nice job ignoring all the valid points I made. Perhaps you're changing the subject because the actions of those 30 Republican Senators is indefensible. And the fact that Fox News hasn't touched the story is further evidence that they don't care about "news," just opinions.
I don't remember hearing about any Democratic leaders voting to let Polanski off. In fact, outside of some support from the Hollywood establishment, most liberals think that Polanski deserves to pay for his crimes. But would there be such outrage if Polanski wasn't famous?
This is a typical conservative tactic. If the subject makes you look bad, just change the subject. Have fun sticking your heads in the sand.

Let me just say something about FOX NEWS for a second. What a great idea by them. They are making soooo much money just, because they saw that all news stations are left leaning so started a news station that is right leaning. Nicely played. I may not watch FOX very much, but it is nice to have a station that leans the opposite way of all the other ones.
You really can't complain about FOX and then sit back and watch Chris Mathews or Keith Olberman on MSNBC. Really? You are going to tell me that Glenn Beck is any worse than Keith Olberman? Seriously? They are both extremists for their parties. Get real FOX critics, get over yourself. If you don't like it you can watch MSNBC, that is the great thing about having 100's of channels.

I've started to come around. I now look forward to reading your ignorant liberal drivel. It's kinda like shooting fish in a barrel.
Your implications that Fox News supports rape is pretty funny, and dumb.
So, does conservative Fox support rape more or less than the liberal media, which seems to be pretty okay with Roman Polanski's drugging and raping of a 13 year old girl?
Whoa! What's that?!?! A liberal double-standard??? Who would thunk it?!?

I'm not sure how one can logically equate being critical with the opinion reporting of Fox News, to being against freedom of the press.
It looks to me like conservatives are against freedom of speech when they freak out when anyone criticizes their beloved Fox News.
Apparently, conservatives are also for corporations being able to take away the legal rights of employees. 30 Republican Senators voted to continue giving U.S. tax dollars to contractors that allow and condone the raping of female employees.
Why hasn't Fox News reported on this story? If they are the respected "news" organization that all of you claim them to be, wouldn't they report on this news. Oh yeah, it doesn't fit within their opinion; busting ACORN for tax violations is apparently more important than stopping rape.
Democrats aren't against freedom of the press, instead we are exercising our freedom to speak out about the damage that Fox News is doing to our nation.

Here's an example of the way the media works:
A few years back, when that guy Bush was president, there was a flu vaccine shortage. The press was screaming about how horrible that was and how Bush let it happen and how Bush would let people die.
Well, last week I went to my doctor to get a flu shot and was told there is none available. I'm not talking about the swine flu vaccination but the regular seasonal flu shot. He said there an extreme shortage all over America.
Does the press talk about it or say it's Obama's fault? No, how could it possibly be Obama's fault? The press will report what they want to report to sway public opinion.
And people will die.

Like if they told us the US debt is $11,960,059,874,953.00 and growing at $3.92 billion per day. That would probably make people want the government to quit spending so much money and then they'd get upset. But if they tell us the president says there's no budget problem we will all be happy.
See? I feel better already!

Most news organizations act like unpaid lackeys for this administration and do absolutely nothing to challenge it.

That's why Fox News didn't cover the 30 Republican Senators who voted to allow U.S. contractors to continue avoiding liability when their employees are raped by other employees.
It's a factual news story that doesn't fit within the framework of the opinions that they have. If the tea baggers want to watch Fox News because they like the opinions, that's fine, but don't try to convince me that "it all makes sense."
The only way anything on Fox News "makes sense" is to equate the opinions with the fact that the network is already bought and paid for by corporations who oppose President Obama.

The likes of Fox Extremist TV, Rush, Sarah and those tea baggers are fragmenting the group once known as the Republican Party. I’m sure the Democrats want them to keep up the good work.
In the past I have enjoyed seeing those old tea baggers with their anti socialism signs, you just know some if not all of them run home and cash their SSI checks on their way to a Medicare doctors visit or trip to a VA facility. Some say that they paid into that SSI so their entitled to it, what!!!!!!! They would actually take an entitlement; I thought entitlements were un American. It seems entitlements are a terrible thing if someone else gets them but not nearly as bad when they benefit from them. And I know the above statement to be absolutely true because I have retired relatives that do exactly that! I still love them but it does make them look pretty silly.

I think Fox NEWS is getting hammered from the left because of the White House which is a disgrace. There are hundreds of Fox affiliates with tens of thousands of employees the POTUS JIHAD could cause to be out of jobs. In the end I think it will cost Obama.

When you have Anita Dunn (White House Communication Director) brazenly stating that the WH actually does control the media, is it any wonder we know nothing of these marches?
I’m surprised we get any news at all… or do we? It is like something the Governments of Venezuela or Iran have.
Transparency?
No Lobbyists?
Televised debate on CSPAN?
Legislation to be posted there days before vote?
No tax increase on middle class?..LIES all lies to get the simple minded and ignorant to vote for him.

thanks Mark for sharing that link -
I clicked on it but as the first sentence contained a half-truth, I didn't make it through the whole article. glad that fox covered such an important event. we should all pray that Government will step aside from trying to control our personal lives. the National Equality March was all about that - getting government out of our lives. we all agree, right?
how about the on-air coverage? much? that's what I was referring to.

I watch all the news networks. I find it interesting to say the least. Different points of view are vital to the U.S. By the way, it was CNN that reported on the crawl January 2008- "Barack Obama says he is a reformed gay man, how will this affect his campaign"....THIS WASN'T FOX NEWS FOLKS-and it ran once...hmmmmm

DannyGS, I know when you have limited ability to think on your own it is harder to have a point but it seems again a simple search shows that Fox did indeed cover that. Here you go:

I know it probably should have been top news all day, but it wasn't, sorry

I never even heard about this protest!!
Thank you The World Newspaper for reporting on it.
As far as the demeaning posts and emotional name calling that the leftists come up with- SHUT IT!
Just words, that's all they have, just words.
Protesters unite, write your letters and make your signs!! Don't go away because you are finally getting attention!

omg, Fawkina, will you marry me? just a warning, it will have to be a gay marriage... so, you may have to wait, but you are definitely my kind of.... fawk?
on a lighter note, JFA: that is so depressing about the gang rapes. so, if these protesters arent against it, are they for it? 30 Senators strong, I would guess so... they're representing somebody.

Dear Daninoregon,
Yes, I have watched some Glenn Beck. He is so ridiculous and funny! ("communist art," lol).
I'm glad you are so confident that Fox news is the "TRUTH." However, your post contradicts itself. First you state how Obama is "afraid of Fox News," and then in the next sentence you complain about how he is "spending so much time attacking Fox News."
Also, can you Fox News worshipers please tell me if you have decided if Obama is a socialist, fascist, nazi, muslim or athiest? Hint: he can't be all.
I find it ironic that these obese and unhealthy women are protesting against health care. If you can't figure out why, you are stupid.
Speaking of stupid, what is your highest education level, DANINOREGON?
Perhaps the enlightened conservative residents of Coos County could benefit from a lesson in economics, political science and sociology.

Here's another story that The World failed to report on:
30 republican U.S. Senators voted against a bill that included an amendment that would prohibit giving government contracts to companies that require employees to release the company from liability if they are raped by other company employees.
The amendment, authored by Al Franken, surprisingly is actually necessary, because last year a number of women came forward claiming that they were gang raped while working for various Haliburton subsidiaries. However, the alleged rape victims can't take the company to court because their employment contracts prohibit it.
And 30 republican senators voted against the bill. I wonder if Fox News reported on that story. Either way, I'm sure all you tea baggers (hilarious term, by the way) will find a way to justify the pro-rape votes.

Fawkina - Glad to hear that you watch Glen Beck. This is wonderful watching you libearls squirm. Even Obama is afraid of Fox News and the TRUTH. If Fox News was so marginal as you liberals say it is then why does Obama spend so much time attacking them. Has anyone here ever heard of a (so-called) "President" attacking a specific news organization? If this this didn't fit in with the rest of his anti-freedom national socialist agenda I would have to say this president was insane.

I hope these people are aware that their beloved Fox News (Faux News) didn't report for one second the 250,000 strong National Equality March this last weekend (10/11) - were they protesting that as well?

Con: Bingo. Some (e.g. Park, Fawkina) seem interested in confirming their beliefs, not seeking the truth.
Somethoughts: Yes, it's a business that depends more than ever on advertising revenue. The World does a pretty good job at the news, though I'm still scratching my head over what is sometimes considered news (see Stufflebean article this weekend).

Good for you!
I want to thank the people who took the time to stand up for what they believe in! Keep it up!
No spin? The caption says 11 people and 1 dog... How many LNG protests got covered with 6 or 7 people? I don't recall seeing how many people or dogs showed up to those.

This little demonstration was brought to you by the same Right Wing Think Tank (funded by Health Insurance Industries, Pharmaceuticals,Oil Companies etc) that brought you the Tea Parties.
When will these idiots start thinking for themselves instead of having Glenn Beck and Right Wing Loons on the radio tell them what to do? Turn off your television every news organization has an agenda it's called Profits.

Obviously these beauties don't need any health care, they look to be in tip top shape..
I can also tell they must be experts on "socialism" (or at least what Glenn Beck tells them it is).
It's quite sad when these uninformed, uneducated poor rural folk get tricked into voting against their own self-interests.
