1. The "vs" implies there is a difference. I never heard there was one.

2. a small update...
a small update to what Chris Wallace said in the video at the 1:04 minute mark

Chamber members to visit White House (Thursday)
It will be a day of détente between the White House and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Thursday as President Barack Obama invites small business owners – including about 35 Chamber members – to the White House for an event on health care and business lending.

3. Chris Wallace is Glenn Beck but
with a less appealing personality.

4. lets face it...
the people who watch fox news are ill informed and not very educated.
there's no other answer to why some ppl listen/believe beck... and there is nothing
wrong with being ill/uninformed or not very educated - but that's the fox demographic.
if thats @ half the country, then thats the way it is. i love what media matters does,
but arnt they just preaching to the choir - doesn't everyone here @ DU already know what
a liar/fraud/racist/bigot beck and Fox noise are? --- i thought so. and how many fox viewers
visit media matters for information???? probably none. just sayin

10. true, but its still important that fox news is continually
called out on its propaganda. yes media matters probably preaches to the choir, but unless there is a constant rebuttal of fox news, their ridiculousness starts becoming more easily accepted.

there must be no quarter to these crazies. this includes most of Murdoch's global right wing media machine.

8. Chamber has 3 million ?
Edited on Wed Oct-28-09 09:00 PM by Thornleylv
The chamber had to admit that their memberships was only 300,000 not 3 million as stated by Wallace. Wallace is only 90% off that is pretty close I guess, maybe he could have made a phone call to..., let's say to the Chamber maybe?

:kick:

9. I never believed that what "commentators" like Beck and O'Lielly
said anything different from their "reporters" like Wallace.
