1.Obama has created a bigger debt in 18 months than Bush in either of his terms.
2. Some politicians have literally been blaming Bush for the oil spill.
3. If you inherit a house hit by a tornado you don't throw more garbage on it. You clean it up and try to rebuild.


But 1 and 3 are contradictory. If you do liken the economy to a broken house then wouldn't the proper steps to fixing it include "spend a large amount of money to repair the damage"

Have you ever cleaned before? You don't have to pay to throw stuff away, unless you include trash collection fee, but that's a different story.


Apparently you haven't been unfortunate to have a home hit by a natural disaster.

This house was hit by a tornado. You are not going to fix it by simply throwing things away.


But you're not doing yourself a favor by rebuilding to the preferences of the big bad wolf.

Yes, you will. You might not bring it back to what it originally was, but you still make it a lot better.
Actually, the Fox News is completely reliable. It tells nothing but the truth. The liberal stations lie, we used to watch CNN. If you watch one of Glenn Beck's show, it's amazing. And yes, Obama is pretty much entirely wrong in whatever he says. He might even be an illegal president because he refuses to show his birth certificat. AND it's already been proved that there was illegal help for him to become president in the election. But oh no, nobody cares about that. If that was Bush, not saying I like him, everybody would freak out. Srsly.

CNN completely made up stuff? Do you have proof of that?


I happen to have been into the news ever since i can remember. I have always kept up with the news. FOX and CNN were the stations i loved to watch.

Its not really a matter of making up "stuff" as you put it. Its more of the fact that BOTH news stations CNN and FOX are equally biased in their broadcasting. So ofcourse if there is Democrat in office, FOX news will most likely look to criticize no matter what. And if it were a republican in office, CNN will see to it that they criticize aswell.

Ah, so no specific examples.



Specific examples of what?

Of CNN completely making stuff up.



I never said CNN "made up stuff" you speak like a child

I said Both news stations are equally misleading in their broadcasting. Its the nature of Media.


CNN = Liberal news station
Fox = Conservative news station.

Complete troll is complete troll, if you say ANY NEWS SOURCE is completely one hundred percent reliable, let alone a man like GLENN BECK who is about as well educated as a pair of dirty socks who also runs an OPINION show though they like to pretend what he says is factual... Then you be a troll. I don't listen to the news, I go to the sources and figure it out.

Who asked Freddy Cougar? If you dont even watch news then y r u acting like you know so much? Obama is going to ruin this country, if you actually listen to what he says, which apparently you DON'T, you would know. Now I'm not gonna argue with a dumb a** any longer.

In response to the OP, Fixed News occasionally reports the news when they aren't turning minute things into 'chicken little' scenarios. Opinion "reporters" (for lack of a better word) Like O'Reilly, Beck, or Palin rarely say anything accurate or even unbiased which turns me off when they don't even know anything outside their million dollar contracts or sheltered lives. To give an example, O'Reilly sometimes says something so profoundly intelligent and 'down to earth' and then just sh*ts on it by saying something else so absurdly insane that just makes me say "WTF?!". While I like MSNBC, I logically still have some qualms when Olbermann or Schultz say inaccurate or even irrational comments. Honestly, to understand American politics, you have to ask someone who most likely isn't even an American due to the fact that a good majority of this country are biased on most things.
CNN was Anti Bush. Seriously this bashing Fox News
is old. CNN is the same, except the other side of things. American
news sucks, just face it. I've been paying attention to BBC more.
They tell more of the story, instead of trying to make someone look
good or bad. It's ashame you can't fully relay on American
news sources.

Fixed whee

Seriously though, You can't get more unbiased than the English cool
Honestly, I wish the Tories could replace the conservatives here. They are much more honest than the republicans. Meh, just bring the parliament to America, then maybe the senate wouldn't stall and get things done quicker. At least in parliament they call each others bullsh*t out in public than trying to do it in secret.

I really tire of "the same, except the other side of things" when comparing two things that are only remotely similar. CNN isn't similar in scale or intent. CNN doesn't even bill itself as the conservative version of news

They are not "liberal as hell" they're "liberal as hell if you believe that conservative media should be the norm"

They haven't had several memos leaked on how they their pundits and newscasters must present a point of view, they don't intentionally skew their "experts" to present a strong ideological argument and they don't have several hours every day dedicated solely to ideologue punditry.
CNN's bias is that they pick stories based on perceived viewer interest which means you get a lot of reporting on the entertainment industry

Are you kidding me? I flipped in on the other day, and the whole show was them basically saying "Fox is stupid." There was little evidence behind it too. They basically just kept saying the same thing over and over.

And yet you can't come up with examples and resort to feeble insults. Fascinating.
