No idea what your problem with that story is. Democrats were discussing how to deal with GOP obstruction, HuffPost reported on that. Why is that a joke? Should they just not report the news if the news involves politicians who might be a bit hypocritical? barfo
Apparently, left wingers need their news skewed so they forget about their own hypocrisy on the issues. Thanks for clarifying it for me.
Here's a Fox News report on republicans blocking an Obama nominee: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/0...ter-to-block-vote-on-president-obama-nominee/
You can't be serious in thinking that Fox news doesn't present a bias, and that conservatives are just as guilty as liberals (in as much as those who watch MSNBC) in wanting their news presented in a bias they agree with.
Sure Fox is biased. But they at least publish stories like this: http://politics.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.html?page=23888&content=56147246&pageNum=-1 Since HuffPost doesn't, they must be a joke. Like I said.
HuffPo is a joke for other reasons, Denny. But just keep "taking it to the man" like it's some media empire that all lefties worship.
Huffington post, just like every other news site/network in the US has an agenda they are pushing. They are all biased to a degree and will under report/over report stories, and in some cases straight up lie, based on other things then if it's an important story that the masses should know. I have no love for the way news media has reworked itself into becoming opinion and agenda based but I hold a special hatred for both MSNBC and Fox for going to great lengths to not only spout their point but to discredit the other views on the situation. Fox is much Worse then MSNBC but neither place should you take what they say as fact before researching it yourself. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I don't have any criticism of MSNBC because they're not a news channel. They show hour after hour of opinionated host and guests. Since they're not pretending to be news, why should I complain? I recognize the difference between a Bill O'Reilly, who is also such a host, and Shepard Smith, who is a news anchor. HuffPost advertises itself as "breaking news."
Fox News invites lots of pro-drug freedom loving people so they're still better than the huffington post. Their main opinion guys suck, but I never watch them.
Nobody takes that seriously, any more than anyone believes Fox news is fair and balanced. Nobody who's honest to themselves anyway.
I don't believe there is any such thing as an unbiased and accurate media outlet of any kind, anywhere in the world. 99% of all media in the world exists for proganda purposes, and "news" is their weapon. There are only 6 reliably accurate news sources. Your six senses; sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and common.
btw, does anyone (on the left) actually take huffington seriously? I know it's easy to say stuff like that (that they do), but really, it's almost like it's a talking point to point it out (that and the evil doers at NBC), without any actual proof to back it up. say it enough times and I guess it's true.
You aren't making any sense. Are you saying that HuffPo should have reported obstruction of Bush appointees this year? Do you know what "news" means? It doesn't mean "shit that happened years ago". Sounds like you don't like the news so you are blaming the messenger. barfo
Yep. I think accurate news would be "this is a tactic employed by both parties against presidents of the opposite party." While Democrats can get their panties in a bunch about it now, they happily obstructed in the past. The common sense conclusion is that they'd want to in the future when there's another republican president. The information is important.
When Democrats happily obstructed in the past, did the news you prefer mention that Republicans had also previously done it, or did it just report what was happening at the time?
