If anything MSNBC is worse. At least on Fox you have differing opinions. They will bring on a liberal to argue with (which is good television...the reason Fox has higher ratings).

But on MSNBC you will watch Rachel Maddow just rip on Republicans and then bring in a panel of 3 or 4 other liberals who all agree with everything she just said! LOL!
Then the show is an hour of them all agreeing and smirking and laughing.

I watched the "Ed Show" on MSNBC this last weekend. The first thing he did was show a pic of Karl Rove and called him a "Turd Blossom"! I'm not joking! That is supposed to be a "News Show"???

Then he dismissed all of the stuff going on right now by saying it was REPUBLICANS trying to "whip up scandals".
He said that nobody in America really cares about the IRS investigating people or the NSA spying on them.
He actually said..."yes, the first amendment is important and all that...BUT..."
And then he spent 5 more minutes going on and on about REPUBLICANS. :1orglaugh

I almost choked when he spoke dismissively about Freedom Of Speech like that!

It's just amazing to me.
The FREE PRESS's job is to question the govt.
Not to fawn all over it.

Fox basically attached themselves to Bush's cock for 8 years. Never questioning him, always agreeing with him.

Now MSNBC is doing it even MORE with Obama. No matter what he does..they blame Republicans every time. If Obama farts it's because he ate Republican grown beans.

It's a sad situation...hopefully it's just a cycle in history and in another decade or so we will get back to the press doing their jobs again.


That pretty much sums it up. Before Fox, there was no one out there pushing for the conservatives. Now there is, if people want to really know what's going on, they have to listen to both sides. Idiots that sit here and bash fox, I guess they aren't listening to Fox? Then they are listening to just one side of it. Sheeple

I can't listen to Maddow on MSNBC. Way too one sided

bronco67 06-12-2013 12:22 PM

No one is denying that MSNBC is liberal...but they're just smarter over there. Anyone with half a brain can tell that Maddow is more intelligent than anyone at FoX news. There's just dumb horseshit flowing from Fox every minute, and they're bad at fact checking also -- and even worse they don't correct themselves on the numerous occasions they're just plain wrong. Have you ever watched The Five? I can't believe those mentally handicapped twits are allowed to say things on TV.

Republicans give MSBC plenty of material because their politicians are either trying to block people from voting, or killing a bill that might help people or just saying something retarded. The Republican congress has spent most of its time lately trying to hang the coon in their precious White House, instead of passing immigration reform or doing any other part of their job. It's easy to complain about them.

As for Fox, it's fine to be the conservative media mouthpiece, but go about it with some intelligence instead of wild speculation and propaganda.

Turn off the fox news man quit falling for all the fear mongering.. No one is taking your guns or your motorcycles away.

Obama is in his second term already and no one has come to your door yet to insert tracking microchips and take your guns away. It's OK just step away from the TV you will be OK,...

I actually rarely watch either. There are plenty of political news shows out there slanted one way or the other, the major news networks don't need to be dipping into that well except to bolster their own ratings. In my opinion news should be just that; NEWS. No rife with opinion, not biased and stacked to lean right or left politically, just tell me what happened, what the known facts are, and let me the viewer decide for myself.

Why Fox has to be so obviously right-leaning and the other network so ridiculously left is beyond me. Report the damn news and leave the bias to shows like Limbaugh and Jon Stewart.

By the way I do very much enjoy the Daily Show, speaking of Jon Stewart. Liberal-leaning yes, but he's definitely not afraid to take a pot shot or two at the libs, Obama, Clinton, etc, which I like. Ridiculous is ridiculous no matter who's doing it.

The polarizing effect that networks like Fox and MSNBC are having on the American society is absolutely dumbfounding. If you're going to call yourself a news network then be one. They don't say 'opinionate the news' they say 'REPORT the news'. Both stations need to try reporting for a change.

"Turd Blossom" was GW Bush's nickname for Rove back when Karl was his political advisor, this is common knowledge not some random news anchor insult.

It was originally meant as sort of a vulgar compliment or term of affection - Rove had the ability to politically spin shit into flowers during Bush's campaigns & presidential runs.

There is a big difference between MSNBC and CNN/Fox and that is that they do not have NEWS in their title. They have always been primarily a talk and opinion channel, in fact before the Microsoft/NBC partnership the channel was called, "America's Talking". That's where I first became acquainted with my early tech guru, Leo Laporte on a show called, "The Site".

Rachel Maddow is the best talk show on the "news" channels. Nobody connects the dots, dots the Is, crosses the Ts and sources their facts more thoroughly and meticulously than her. And unlike the hosts on Fox, she will come back with a correction or clarification even on small things on the rare occasion she got something wrong. And it IS rare because she puts major reasearch and prep time into getting it right.

You can REALLY see the difference between progressive and conservative shows on radio. Where Rush takes carefully screened calls mostly from dittoheads and a rare "liberal" that they feel isn't articulate enough to get too much in during a brief bully pulpit slam, Stephanie Miller and Randi Rhodes have it as policy that if you disagree with them you get bumped to the front of the caller line. Thom Hartman regularly has fair give and take discussions with conservative guests. Randi says quite often, "Don't take my word for it, go look it up for yourself".

As far as "Turdblossom", that was George W. Bush's pet name for Karl Rove, because of his ability to take a pile of shit and spin it to make it smell like a rose. Ed was not making up a name to call him.

I watch a couple news sources, because I believe that watching just one is for idiots as you only get what they are pushing.

You believe because I'm not a fan of the current administration that I watch fox news like a religion, I watch CNN a lot actually, you don't get much local stuff on Fox. I live in LA and there is a lot of local stuff going on.

Right now, in the news
Bengazi---Congress is having discussions about why we didn't protect them
AP news having their phone records subpoenaed
Whistle Blower saying that all US citizens are having their emails, phone calls and facebook accounts tracked.
IRS admitted to have conservative groups targeted , because they are conservative groups.
IRS spent 4.1 million on one convention, yet asked for specific amounts, they didn't keep a good record of that?
The FDA is sending reps to Mexico to teach the Mexican nationals how to better use our food stamp program. Which has the food stamp program, or now as it's called SNAP grow at alarming rates.
New Jobs that the present administration claims to have made have not kept up with the amount of new workers available

These things concern me, I think anyone that lives in the US should be concerned about these matters, liberal or conservative.

I think if all you can do is bash Fox news either don't live in this country and should shut the fuck up, or just hate it when the side you are cheering for fucks up in such monumental fashion and look for any reason, no matter how stupid to defer the attention the current administration as brought among itself.

The constitution in under attack, I want to be kept up on whats being done about it.

Really, you should seek put so e friends and have some real discussions as the above is way over the top.

Do you wish you said more to her though? I know she cut you off a few times, but for me, i'd just have ruined the interview and talked over her anyway, and maybe offered a few more insults of your own. Like you said though, you were probably caught a little off guard, since you were treated well before the cameras rolled.

She tried to make you look like a cunt, so i'd have made sure i was a cunt. Nice gesture at the end though. Fair play...

You're totally right; I was completely caught off guard. Bill was initially supposed to be interviewing me but at the last moment he had to run out of town on some other assignment and she was his stand-in. Bill had mentioned me a few days earlier on his show and didn't have anything bad to say, amazingly. He basically said, "look, the girls are over 18, this guy's not doing anything illegal, and the girls need to be responsible for their actions."

I would have loved to have gone off on Malkin but in the end I think biting my tongue made me appear to be the bigger person. I was honestly floored by how many kind e-mails I received after it aired. People couldn't get over how mean she was, which was ironic considering I was supposed to be the evil porn guy. Instead I started the segment with a compliment, remained rather civil, and maintained my composure. She came off like a complete lunatic and destroyed the point she was trying to make. It not only made me look good, but it helped people see that not everyone in the adult business is a total creep. I considered it a very small victory for the entire industry.

I watched it, you acted very mature. You were obviously the bigger man and everyone sees that.

You handled that as well as it could have been handled - civil, took the abuse until she made herself look like an ass, then succinctly lowered the boom in a final gesture (and summed up what 99% of watchers are thinking). I'd be proud of that moment!

Your answer should have been: "Do you want me to?"

She of course would have responded with "No"

You: "Then no, I won't be using them on my site. Because that's not how I do things. The girls depicted on my site are all consenting adults. Period."

Is there even any actual sex on your site or is it just nude posing? If so this Malkin idiot really should get out more and do some surfing to see what the community standard of tolerance is these days. Simple nudity is nothing. But she would already know that if she were less opinionated and more informed.

She went on and on about 90% of the guns in the Mexican cartels hands being supplied by gun shops in the US, when it was the US government that was running the Fast and Furious program. And the actual amount was around 25%

I'm confused at what you are getting at here... Because a sixteen year old kid died?

Did the US target a sixteen year old kid? Nope. In fact, the only reason the drone strike took place was because they believed the kid was at another location. This was a military strike on an enemy combatant that had collateral damage.

I'm not gonna loose any sleep over this.

That number was put out by both the Mexican government AND the US ATF. Although it's since been backtracked and debated as to tracable guns the Mexican government actually turned over the best estimates according to unbiased fact check sources put it at least twice the numbers Fox claimed. The smaller numbers are arrived at by not considering any of the non-tracable guns as originating in the US.

1. Removing serial numbers is simple.

2. Look up where most guns are manufactured and compare their proximity to Mexico AND the ease of purchase/transport.

I've listened to Rachel Maddow long before she transisitioned from radio to MSNBC. If she HATES anything it is misinformation. I fact check all of the shows I listen to and would put the average knowledge from just one of her shows against an average month of Fox.

no. the original story was they attacked #2, and the kid was 'collateral'

it's now out that this kid was killed, specifically, in a separate attack two weeks later

the justification for this was he was the one masterminding the shoe bombings

you know, the bombings that started 2002, when the kid was 6

Maybe you're right. And maybe that's why she ignores the major news stories when it doesn't fit her agenda.
I like to switch between MSNBC, CNN, and FOX to get their reactions to stuff happening. And yeah, Maddow was right there with every story on Romney having his dog on the roof of his car during the election.

But she has yet to cross any "t's" or dot any "i's" on any of the biggest newstories happening the last few weeks (the IRS, the NSA, Benghazi, etc.) She simply ignores the stories.

Weird.

Also...keep in mind that neither Maddow or any anchor at Fox News or MSNBC are doing any actual "fact checking" themselves.
They all have teams of people working for them and then they come in and read what's written.

If any of these people were real reporters there would be no need for "fact checking" because they would be finding things out themselves instead of reading press releases from politicians and press releases from "think tanks", etc.

It's pretty sad.

I don't find any redeeming quality to Maddow's show or any of the other "opinion" shows on MSNBC or Fox News or CNN other than entertainment value.

And Maddow is simply not very entertaining...which is why she loses the ratings on her time spot to Hannity of all people.
Why?
Because Hannity is an entertainer and brings on people with opposing viewpoints to debate with. That is simply good t.v.

Maddow needs to stop bringing on people who agree 100% with her and doing all that smirking on her show. It makes her look like an elitist.
If she would bring on some ultra-conservative "guests" and debate whatever the topics are she is pushing that day it would be a LOT better.

That kinda seems to be the main problem with all Liberal oriented shows. They seem to be afraid to debate ideas with the opposing viewpoint. But it just isn't very compelling to watch a host with 3 or 4 other people all agreeing with each other and smirking.
That is boring as hell. :(

That's sadly the truth.

These guys calling themselves "liberals" are definitely NOT what was always "liberal" before.

Liberals USED to be the guys protesting Democrat Pres. Lyndon Johnson so hard over the Vietnam War that he declined to run for another term.

Liberals USED to be anti-govt. pro-freedom, etc.

In other words...what Libertarians are today.

Today's "liberals" are basically the same kind of people that real liberals used to call "squares" back in the 1960's.

Today's liberals LOVE the govt. Ask to be taxed more so more money can be spent on the military.
And they never saw a law or a cop that they didn't love. They practically beg to bow down before authority.

:(

Saw their newest contributor last night: James Carville on Bill O'Reilly

Surprise! Fox actually does have liberals on the air. That's what makes their shows get the big ratings that MSNBC doesn't get.

You throw O'Reilly and Carville together and it's fireworks.

I don't agree with what either one of them have to say. But I watched the whole segment because it was entertaining. 2 giant egos with opposing viewpoints...
