quade 3 #5 December 19, 2008 Actually, I think a lot (maybe 30%) of the threads from here are really generated as a result of people reading Drudge.

rushmc 18 #12 December 19, 2008 Just thought we should all know who you are quoting. Reading your link is far less than fact in any event. We are all allowed our opinion. But know we know whos opinon you agree with. Only fair, dont you think> Meet Eric Boehlert and Jamison Foser Quote Eric Boehlert is the author of Lapdogs: How the Press Rolled Over for Bush (Free Press, 2006). He worked for five years as a senior writer for Salon.com, where he wrote extensively about media and politics. Prior to that, he worked as a contributing editor for Rolling Stone. Boehlert has a bachelor's degree in Near Eastern studies from the University of Massachusetts and is a Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America. Jamison Foser has extensive experience in progressive research, communications, and strategy, having worked for nearly a decade in national politics. Most recently he served as Research Director at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) for the 2002 cycle. Foser is Executive Vice President at Media Matters for America.

Gawain 0 #14 December 19, 2008 I can listen to Hannity in small bits, but I can't give him "three hours per day"...In many broad principles though, I am more often in agreement with him than not. I do not care for his methods or delivery styles though.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

I'm guessing you agree with his anti liberal rantings more than anything else? The problem I have is that his talking points are the same that get turned through Drudge, TNR, Rush, Bill'O, et al on a news channel and they are repeated ad nauseam in the hopes that they become truth (this is not to say other media sources do not do this). There are some people that can discern the bullshit from the truth if they know the source material, but we know that is not their target audience. Many of the examples in that link were very damning as to how far they will go to lie to push their agenda. Luckily there are Republicans like Colin Powell now speaking out against the idiocy that is conservative talk radio. He has asked to ignore them. Despite the RNC talk about the fairness doctrine coming back into play, I would like to see real conservative talk return to the air. Meanwhile these sources are nothing but destructive entertainment posing as news. I would be very happy to see the end of these major syndicated voices and have them be replaced by local/regional educated voices...and the same goes for the syndicated liberal junk as well._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

micro 0 #16 December 19, 2008 If anyone on here thinks that any news channel/agency/radio show/blog/etc. is fair, balanced or objective, they have to be the biggest idiot in the known universe. Some may be be less extreme this way or more objective that way, but let's be honest with ourselves. To think that you are not getting a spin when you watch your favorite news anchor, news show, news commentator, or news station, you're in seriously delusional. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You do know he tells lies and presents it as fact, right? Yes, Hannity is trash and there is nothing redeeming about either his radio show or TV show. I'd be fine if he billed himself as an entertainer and followed up The Daily Show on Comedy Central. However he is on a news channel telling bold face lies. He, and the others I listed, need to be outed for what they are. And I have been helping with that. I listen to these shows and log their lies with timestamps and then send it in to watchdog groups and fact checking sites._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

And what do you do when you "catch" Hannity telling the truth about something? Do you spend an equal amount of time (or any time at all) fact checking shit-spewers on the left like Keith Olberman (sp?) or do you just have a particular hard-on for Hannity and/or folks on the right? Are you after truth or is your quest more ideologically driven? I'm venturing an assumption here but I reckon you don't invest much time looking into the leftist counterparts to folks like Hannity... am I right? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...
