But what will happen to the Democrats whores in the media when they have no Right-Wingers to slap around, for example; www.drudgereport.com/flashnf.htm Do you liberals even want to see 4 - 8 years of Obama ass kissing on MSNBC? There ratings suck now, what's going to happen when they have to spend most of there time defending to guys they helped get elected, or what will happen if they turn on him and begin to treat him and the Democrats like they treat Palin? HAHAHAHAHA!!! SORRY I MADE MYSELF LAUGH! Like that would ever happen! No, the one good thing that seems to be coming out of this is the press may be the ones that end up screwed.

Either they'll do okay, or we'll get ACTUAL Conservatives in after that...yeah, either which way it'll probably work out for the best.

Quote:Originally posted by Righteous9: luckily Daily show has never been obama lackeys, they even recently dogged both candidates for a lame stance on something, at the end of which Stewart, somewhat exasperated, said "ron paul 08!" Not that Obama is easy to mock legitimately, he doesn't make horrible gaffes, he doesn't spin in circles on his policies... but I hope as you do, and expect that when there is something to point out, when irony can run high about the democratic leadership, that the Daily Show will be up to task. That democrats aren't often quite as absurd as our recent cast of characters on the right, will just force the writers to work overtime finding those kernals of truth.

Quote: In 1992 Bill Clinton said he wouldn't raise taxes. He did, almost immediately. Obama, and for that matter McCain, have no choice now but to raise taxes and revenues to the Treasury. Obama's trillion dollar new Federal socialist programs are gonna have to wait. McCain too will go after our money. There won't be a penny of capital gains coming in for a long time, and the annual Capital Gains Carryover Losses ( Schedule D ) will reduce Federal income taxes coming in to Washington for a decade.

Zit, are you really that thick-headed or short of memory? Keith Olbermann got his start in the news biz (as opposed to his ESPN sports gig) reporting and doing commentary on the whole Clinton-Whitewater-Lewinski scandal. Why else do you think he never endorsed Hillary for president? Also, were Rush and O'Reilly out of business from 2000 through 2006, when the Republicans had complete control of the White House, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court, and the Department of Justice?

Quote:Originally posted by Righteous9: "Couldn't hide their bias" why do people want people to do this? you htink if its couched well that somehow that will be better for the consumer? The dumbest shit in the world is an attempt to appear unbiased by pundits and even news anchors. If they've been following shit, they have a perspective. Now either that means when they report, they slant the news unintentionally in their direction, or they intentionally push the other way, against their judgement and value system, and that is not honest reporting. When people lean a certain direction and are at least up front about it, that is preferrable to me. Hell, I think Hannity is a total asshole, but at least he lets his viewer know exactly wheere he stands...O'reilley calls himself an independant(OKAAAY) Frankly, maybe I should give it to Hume too, if he didn't pretend to be an impartial anchor, and maybe he doesn't even do that, because he's pretty frikken obvious. if it isn't his intention to come across as impartial, then more power to him...you generate more light with friction than with inert neutrality.

Gonna just take the ball and go home when they swear in Obamalamadingdong ? Like bloody hell! Fact is, just like ANY politician, we all know he's gonna push the limits and possibly abuse and misuse his authority, all of em do it, save Ron Paul, we know this. So who's gonna be the check and balance and all up in their reps ass to sandbag this guy if not the folk who opposed him in the first place ? We, as in we the people, don't have to LET him do jack shit, and it'd be a smart thing to have the boom ready to bring down when he oversteps himself to show his rookie ass where the limits are, yes ? And you think those rabidly supporting him are gonna do that ? - yeah, right. Like it or not, america needs you - I might think you're politically cracked in the head for supporting some guy who wants to continue Shrubs disastrous policies, but just cause McCain would be an unmitigated disaster does NOT mean Obama does not have the potential to be. So get with your reps, let em know where it stands, pick up the political crowbar and get ready to kneecap this asshole if he crosses the line, damn sure his kool-aid drinkers ain't gonna do it... and so that comes down to folk like you. So, you gonna step up to the plate, or go home and sulk, then ? Cause I ain't backin off an inch, not on your life. -Frem It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it

Quote:Originally posted by Righteous9: well frem, one thing that will hopefully be different is that alot of us voting for Obama will also be watching what he does. He is our responsibility after all. That's my hope anyway, and I wish Republicans hadn't cast off their own responsibility so willingly. ....not that I can vouch for democrats during the Clinton administration...he signed some really bad shit into law.

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: Now you're talkin'. I think, at its best, the press SHOULD have a somewhat adversarial relationship with ANY politician, and not be in their pocket. We've seen what happens when they just go along with the party line instead of questioning it. You get these wonderful little wars in lovely places like Iraq!

If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry...
