Idiot Brit Hume just said that
The ISG agreed with Bush`s policies and that in fact agreed with staying the course. Why are these people allowed to exist on TV?

Just like the talking heads at FoxNews.

2. I deleted Fox News off my TV months ago.
Everytime I watched I wanted to break something.

6. FauxNews is the only channel I have blocked... 
...on my TV. It must be a requirement for each talking head on
this network to at least once a day, every day, bend over and
kiss Rupert Murdoch's ass in full view of their audience...and
they all comply.

14. Same here GB
(well except for all the Pat Robertson clone religion channels you find here in the south which are really not channels at all, but 24 hour a day con games)

15. And Rupert, to keep his place as the head of News Corp, bends
over and kisses Prince Al-Walid Bin Tahal's ass.

3. The unhinging of Fox News has begun.
I have a feeling that Fox is going to become even more disconnected from reality (as in the example you cite) as they mindlessly follow our delusional, sick-puppy president wherever he may wander.

Now that Bush is no longer a "popular wartime president" (do you remember how ubiquitous that phrase was 3 years ago?) and things seem to be shifting our way, it is entertaining rather than maddening to watch the righties twist themselves up into knots as they deny reality and defend the indefensible.

Popcorn, anyone?

7. First of all NO ONE has defined what WINNING is, and the lapdog media has never asked them
Most important though, wait until the Democrats take over Congress AND the agenda, they haven't seen nothing yet.

9. The Loyal FOX. Outrageous in atrociousness to match the WH.
and PNAC. All these right wing corporate networks will be remembered forever as loyal, but FOX will always lead the R list.

There is no difference between the Republican Party and corporate 'news' networks. And that's a fact.

10. What really makes me mad
is the constant barrage from the republicans and the rest of the media about the 'SO CALLED LIBERAL PRESS' there is not one main stream media organization that has any thing of a liberal bias. Every single cable, network and newspaper, (even the Washington Post) is slanted with the republican view. That's what gets me upset. If they had just some republican nuts we could just delete all the sites from our remote, but you have to listen to some to get the news. CNN is getting as bad as FOX. MSNBC is about the only one you can listen to anymore...yeah Keith.

16. well
Edited on Sun Dec-10-06 11:45 AM by leftofthedial
it sort of does.

it slaps junior's wrist, but once you parse all the qualifiers, it's pretty much stay the course and certainly does not call into question the illegal rationale for the invasion and occupation.


Hume IS an idiot though.
