Well here's an absolute shock!

Affrayer ignores the topic of the thread and instead goes off topic to attack Bush and FOX News.

Who didn't see that coming?

Well, you might as well lock this one down too OE. Not because it breaks the rules, but because the liberals here refuse to have a civil discussion.

The following comments make it clear that I have obviously "baited" the left:

Oh, puh-leeze, Grim! The tone of your posts is consistently hostile and belligerent. It's not conducive towards having a "civil" discussion. If that's what you want, you'll deep six the hostility, and stop starting baiting threads.

Grim: These libs can never address the issues that you address because they know that you are right.

And what issues are those? All we get from him is baiting and mindless insults, no signs of interest on his part in having a "civil" discussion.

Brit Hume Talks About the Success and Uniqueness of Fox News
why do most reasonable people find this assertion ludicrous?
because it is. liberals addressing an issue or not, has nothing to do with lies being asserted as truth. fox is the most skewed and biased news source, and err'body knows it.

Hume's statements nail you on this:

Quote:
You’re a sentient, thinking, human being. You’re going to have views in reaction to things. But I’ll say this about it. I believe that fairness begins with an awareness that no, you’re not objective. And it is your professional duty and responsibility to be aware of that. And to carry that with you into the work that you do so that you can be fair.
