AGAIN....not saying there isn't a difference. Just saying that difference isn't as great as a lot of folks want it to be. Whether one chooses to use emotion to rile up their "side" or half the facts to rile up there "side" is of no consequence to me. In the end, they are both painting a clearly biased view of a set of events. Both of which are pretty useless IMO.

If a person were to watch Maddow's show, and then watch a show that presented the other half of the facts from a conservative point of view, that person would have a reasonably complete understanding of whatever issue they were covering on which to make their own judgement, right?If a person were to watch Beck's show, and then watch a liberal show that presented no facts and appealed only to emotion (Bill Mahr?) would that person be able to do the same?

I personally don't think either group is capable of getting all the facts out (even for their own side) during their shows. They simply don't have the time in this soundbyte world. I think if the above scenario plays out above, you end up with an individual who understands the liberal bias and one who understands the conservative bias. Problem is, the truth is usually neither of these....it's usually somewhere in between.

BS.

It's sad that we have to go to foreign sources to get information that isn't ladened with liberal/conservative slant. Again, not saying that those sources don't have a tendency one way or the other (no way to avoid "spin" given human nature) but I'll take the info from someone with no dog in the fight over a person with an axe to grind with their opposing view 24 x 7 365.

No, what's sad is the current belief that the two sides of the story are always equal. Which is rarely, if ever the case. Jim: "Adrian Peterson is the best back in football."

John: "Nah, Edgerinn James is the best back in football."

The Commish: "Both of you are equally biased because you own those guys. Therefore your arguments have no merit - they're both exceptional athletes who play the same position and have similar builds. They're equal."

TGYour analogy at the bottom there is a little off base. In the current discussion Beck and Maddow arent arguing about the merits of Peterson vs. James. But rather they are arguing over the merits or lack there of in regards to Peterson.

In that case the argument would be as follows.

Jim: Adrian Peterson is the greatest back of all time.

John: Nah, Peterson isn't that great.

The Commish: It's a little too soon to be coronating ADP the greatest of all time. He has the skills to be the greatest back in the history of the league. But only time will tell.

Friggin' Colbert gets it, I don't know what is wrong with some other peeps round these parts. I know, I know, it is all the same. Yea right.

Scott Baio is a christian conservative now? Scott ####### Baio? The same dude that hit every high end poon in hollywood in the 80's and mid 90's? How can someone take him serious.

*******Glenn Beck was interviewing him on the radio today and Glenn was gushing about how cool it was that a conservative in hollywood was speaking out.

That is odd considering most of the Hollywood yucky-yuck crowd lives in some fantasy world. Good for Scott tho

 

[General Malaise]

I just can't get my mind wrapped around to the notion that gun toting, conservative men actually listen to and respect a man who cries on the air. You would think the Peens of the world would laugh and mock a grown man who cries, calling him a 'hippie feeler'. But Beck gets a pass for being a weak, sniveling little cry baby from the right. Hard to grasp.

I don't listen to him either. I never heard of him until recently. He doesn't piss me off. I think it's fitting the ultra right wingers have a mouth piece who cries like a little girl. Congrats. Your leader is a giant ######.

Where in this thread did anyone say Beck pisses them off? I think it is more of us laughing at him then anything else.

Who cares

 

[Spiderman]

The key is that, on far more occasions that Beck, Hannity et al., reality also agrees with her.

I'm not so sure that Maddow represents the reality of any issue beyond the liberal spin - that's about it.

Wow, you just don't get it.

I get that you buy into the spin that Maddow offers on a daily basis.

Let's all watch her show tonight and then you can break it down and give us specific examples.

 

[General Malaise]

Who cares

I guess I do but only because I find it incredibly funny that a vocal mouth piece for the party that stands behind guns and war and being tough on crime with no compassion for the poor is nothing more than a snivelling little cry baby. It might not bother you, but I bet some of the hard nosed republicans would like Beck to turn down the fake crying. And I bet deep down, you probably don't like it that liberal hippies are laughing at the face of your political party. You are supposed to be the party of strength and Beck makes you look weak.

I keep hearing this about Beck but I've only seen him cry one time, when he was talking about how, in Nazi germany, his handicapped daughter would've been treated. Considering how many on this board admit to tearing up at the sound of a song it seems a little more understandable in Beck's case. I still wish he could've held himself together on air but I think how often he cries is way overblown.

I dont care what the hippies are laughing at to be honest. They are nothing to me in my world. As far as "crying" goes I dont necessarily think that means you are a 'weak" person. My pastor would cry at the end of most of his services and he is by no means weak. Passionate, but not weak.

I certainly don't fake cry over the airwaves. I'm also not a mouth piece for the political party. You should expect better from the guys representing your views. Beck is a blouses!

I was expecting to see about a dozen examples in the video and I see him cry twice and get choked up a couple of times, not crying. If he cries that often you wouldn't need to repeat things over and over like in the video you linked. I never said he doesn't cry but a "weak, sniveling little cry baby" is over blowing the reality of how often. He's no **** Vermeil.

That SOB Beck. He sits there and plays Obama's promises in his own words and then shows how Obama is doing the exact opposite. What a hate-monger. What kind of an ### uses someone'c campaign promises and expects them to keep them.
