People in the center get news sources from all sides, including Fox and CNN. Most people that I've observed on this board source everything BUT Fox news. (And I've linked plenty of CNN and other news outlet stories to qualify as someone who uses both perspectives.)
Thus, I'm not understanding where your opinion that I'm 'biased' is coming from, at least as it pertains to which news sites I link.
Because FOX News was founded by a conservative who publicly stated that he wanted a conservative-leaning news source? And in the years since FOX News was founded, the anchors and pundits have represented that conservatism on a regular basis?
I mean, I think it is pretty obvious why most of us do not consider FOX News to be a legitimate source. You obviously missed the news footage where one of the anchors was in a diner in PA and asked everyone who they were voting for. The majority of the customers said Obama, very few said McCain, and the anchor said it was "split." You also missed the giddiness of the morning anchors twenty months ago when a rumor leaked that Obama may have attended a Madrassa as a child in Indonesia (This... is... HUGE!!!1!!one!!1!
).
And, we obviously cannot forget that FOX News was the news network which started talking about the John Edwards scandal three weeks before Edwards admitted any wrong doing, using the
National Enquirer as the SOURCE of the information (funny... you should know about that, right?). Meanwhile, they barely covered the Larry Craig scandal when it was ongoing two years ago, and sued Al Franken-- a satirist known for his liberal views-- over his use of the phrase "Fair and Balanced" in the title of one of his books, a phrase which FOX News apparently thought they owned. I mean, do you not see how they are willing to grasp for straws to prove their biases?
Post legitimate news sources from non-biased websites... or at least be kind enough to point out that they are from biased websites and DON'T use them as the crux of your argument. I have posted one blog story in the past week discussing how McCain's transition leader may have lobbied for Saddam Hussein, to respond to your pursuit to label Obama a terrorist because he served with Bill Ayers while working in Chicago during the mid-1990s. In fact, most of us "liberal" posters here are able to post non-biased articles on a regular basis, whereas you do not, so stop spewing bull **** accusations about us when you can't abide by the standards you set for everyone else.
It's called adhering to the standards you set. If you can't do that, then don't expect anyone else to.
End of story.
