More on Fox News and its clear "fair and blanced" agenda-
Fox News claims ‘magic negro’ text was ‘inadvertently cleared for air.’» As the Washington Times recently noted, Fox News allowed at least one racist message directed toward President-elect Obama to make it on the air during its New Years broadcast. In a statement to TVNewser yesterday, Fox News VP of programming Suzanne Scott defended the incident, claiming that the text message referring to Rush Limbaugh’s “Barack the Magic Negro” song was “inadvertently cleared for air.” Instead of offering an apology, Scott took the opportunity to attack Fox’s rivals:
Fox News VP of programming Suzanne Scott explains, “We received tens of thousands of text message submissions during our New Years Eve special, and this particular viewer submission was inadvertently cleared for air. At FOX we recognize our error as opposed to networks who allow their hosts to utter crude vulgarities to the public.”
Fox New has a history of allowing racially-charged language aimed at Obama and his family to make it on air and then claiming it was simply a mistake. In June, after a Fox chyron referred to Michelle Obama as “Obama’s Baby Mama,” Fox’s Senior Vice President of Programming Bill Shine explained it by saying that “A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment.”
They are also he station that claimed that Barack and Michele fist bumping was a "terrorist" sign.

Jack Oliver, actually you DO NOT have free speech on the RR blog, this board or any other blog, you agree to the rules of the respective blog, your speech is limited by the rules. In the case of this board it is not my rules or any member’s rules it is the rules of Pro Boards and enforceable by Pro Boards.
As a newbie board we are monitored and rightfully so, I do not have a problem with that, perhaps on the RR side they could have been more proactive and the blog would not have gone down the dumper (insert Jack Oliver toilet picture, LOL.)

I keep listening and watching for the current administration and its Republican propaganda machine at Fox News to ask why Israel cant send in its hit teams instead of dropping cluster bombs on neighborhoods in Gaza. We haver all seen ck Norris movies and know Israel has some of the most elite teams in the world. All I hear back is that Hamas doesnt reconize Israel's right to exist. Yet, in the same breathe Conservatives want to reject Palastine's right to exist and elect its own leaders, which happen to be Hamas.
Silly I guess to think that the US cant force people to think like us and act like us.
Israel should have sent in its top notch combat teams and hit key Hamas locations and not made the Palestinians take the brunt of an air assault. Hamas rocket sites should have been the target of these hits. The tensions in the Middle East will never be settled by one side or the other.
Instead what they will do is cause more hatred, more enemies in the Arab world until we will be back there again, fighting in the end the country that has replaced Iraq for Conservo hatred....Iran.
I DO NOT feel Israel is to blame for striking back. The manner in which they strike back is what I have issue with.
It seems to conservatives, one dead Muslum is as good as the next and it doesn't matter to them if they were a good person or bad, as long as they are a dead Muslum.

Yet more fair and balanced reporting from Fox News--
You know the 401K money you've all lost? The job market going to he double hockey sticks.
Well thats all smoke and mirrors done by the "Main Stream Media" to protect and get Obama elected and have it look like he's successful when it turns around says BillO and Karl Rove:
Yesterday on Fox News, Bill O’Reilly and Karl Rove went on a tirade against the media for hyping the struggling state of the economy. They claimed that it’s not as bad as reports are making it out to be, and journalists are overstating the case in order to help President-elect Barack Obama:
O’REILLY: All right, so you are agreeing with me then that there is a conscious effort on the part of The New York Times and other liberal media to basically paint as drastic a picture as possible, so that when Barack Obama takes office that anything is better than what we have now?
ROVE: Yes.
Larry---- this is why I say Poor Sad Conservos.

VOR, I’ve never understood why Israel has been slow to react with a knock-out punch. I agree Israel has a right to defend themselves and Hamas is to blame for putting their people in harms way. If someone were to break in my house with a .22 rifle they would be met with an arsenal, after I called 911 I would be calling Stanley Steamer to clean up the mess.

CM. because you cannot just knock out Hamas with a punch, its part of what you don't get. These are insurgents, citizens who have taken up arms against a country. Did you not learn from Iraq? from Vietnam? They don't have an army. They may live next door, or around the corner and when you kill one, they multiply by every friend and relative they have.
These are not people breaking into Israel's house, these are people throwing things into the windows and you can't pull out your 22 and shoot whatever moves outside. Thats the mentality that I argue against.
This is why agreements, however painful they are need to be reached. We have seen that muscle does not win this type of war.
We saw it in Vietnam....we are seeing it in Iraq ....and it is happening in Gaza. Israel can spend five years on a ground campaign and they second they leave more rockets will fly in on top of them unless they kill them all and I mean the whole population of Gaza.
They have to make a peace through talking. There is no other way.
Remember the way we bombed North Vietnam? Did it win us the war? NO

It's now official....Al Franken will be the new Democratic Senator from Minnesota.
Lets see Bill O'Reily, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity stick their necks out and run for Senator?
Al Franken won over the people, over a veteran Conservative Senator Norm Coleman. Its more proof that God is blessing America.
Come on Caroline Kennedy!!!!

BRUCE,I can't seem to locate that HAMAS smuggling story,maybe someone else heard of the MUSLIM man arrested in MEXICO by MEXICAN AUTHORITIES for smuggling HAMAS SYMPATHIZERS across our Southern Border.The suspect admitted to successfully getting some persons across prior to his arrest.I think the man was Lebanese or Palestinian?

I appreciate your efforts.I too vaguely remember Mexican authorities arresting someone from the middle East who planned to smuggle some people in,but I don't know of any successful efforts although there have been stories on right wing blogs alleging this.There have been many Chaldean Iraqis who entered through Tijuana but they are far from terrorists.It just seems that broad statements like the one you made are not helpful,they just cause fear and rumors.Lori was notorious for making absurd statements which were so obviously false and I called her on it several times.Don't mean yours fell into that category.

They have to make a peace through talking. There is no other way. Remember the way we bombed North Vietnam? Did it win us the war? NO The forces of evil will engage from now to the end of time. Words WILL NOT promote peace the sword will. I have no clue who you are but I’d bet a bundle I’m more familiar with the Israeli/Arab mine than anyone else on this blog. What you are missing: both sides understand the ONLY solution is total destruction of the other side. Israel foolishly endorses hope, Hamas knows hope is a world without Israel. Your approach admirable and reasonable as it may be is typical of the western mind set, which is why you have missed the target. Additionally there is significant Iranian influence to promote oil prices, if there is anybody that understands the western mind it is Iran and Iran plays the game as well as the Chinese. To think this has any comparison to Viet Nam IMO indicates how far the western mind misses the target. This topic should be discussed in the appropriate thread I’ll continue to discuss at the Israel vs. Hamas thread.
