Now both are safely retired and removed from society...as they should be, and a bit of sanity is restored.

Half truths and lies are good when you are masturbating, and your mom calls and asks you what you are doing.

15. Please cite one lie Rachel Maddow has ever uttered...Just one...until then you're a joke....

Edited on Sat May-14-11 09:57 PM by Rowdyboy

You could prove your point if it was true but it isn't so you dodge.

And while I don't like Ed Schultz much he's certainly not a liar.

7. None of your choices match reality

Outrageous claims require extraordinary evidence. Please cite specific examples of Maddow and Schultz intentionally spreading half-truths and lies.

Edited on Sat May-14-11 09:47 PM by Riftaxe

Or more importantly pick your talk show hero and lay down some money? No? thought not.

Hell, some people enjoy getting lied to, i not saying your one of them, but your reality bubble is about to burst if you take up my challenge.

17. Your link goes to a blank Google home page.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

13. Agreed, and i in no means disparage

The MSNBC folks, they do what they do very well, even if less then honestly. They peddle the pablum we are most receptive to, but it is annoying they fear they could not do it in a manner that is truthful.

Well as for fox...same coin, different side.

When did we give up being adults and able to digest current events for ourselves, that we turned into little birds that needs it swallowed and regurgitated sans thinking?

14. The entire jist of the poll is

Edited on Sat May-14-11 09:55 PM by Riftaxe

Neither MSNBC or FOX have journalists, they have talk show hosts. None of them can be considered to have integrity or to be honest.

If you take their word for anything, your more then a fool.

On edit: being with out integrity or honesty does not mean they do not occasionally wander into issues that do require attention.

21. Yet reality shatters your myths...

Oh look, a fairy!

There is no false equivalency, neither network has any integrity at all.
