CNN, MSNBC or Fox News?

Fox has the best women on screen, ill give them that.

Fox and MSNBC are the worst the extreme of both spectrums. CNN is a little better but still leans to the left too much.

Which is obviously on purpose. They require the women on the network to wear skirts. Fox sells sex and red meat for their base. MSNBC sells the cause du jour and red meat for their base.

I'd say they're a lot better than both of those, without actually being good. They're just a lot better than completely awful.

What if we could do that? Get every poster from the PoliBoard, IRL, in front of the protestors. Every poster has 7 minutes to speak.

The mistake that is made is you can never show any agreeance with an irrational group like the extreme black community and racial issues. This is regardless if a police officer did something inappropriate. The problem is the racist black community will see this as validation the police are totally corrupt when in all actuality it is debatable whether the police even did something inappropriate in an isolated incident.

Our president has been a complete a-hole in regards to speaking out about these local issues and picking sides for politics. He has done nothing to improve racial issues within the black community.

Fox being Fox. Thank god they weren't around when saint Ronnie stayed at his ranch after the Korean plane was shot down.


If I remember correctly Saint Ronnie also blew Gadhafi's compound to hell and back within a couple of days, and we didn't hear much from him for a while. Unlike our previous guy who leads from behind everywhere and makes threats and then does nothing.
Obama sure did jump right in and make comments about Trayvon, the Harvard professor and Michael Brown only to have egg on his face. Heaven forbid he appear for two dead cops.

Fox is retarded for bringing this up. The best thing that could happen is he stays on vacation until his term is up.

CNN is alright on issues unrelated to race. They've carved out a niche for racial angles, which is annoying.

For breaking news, CNN wins. Fox and MSNBC are both terrible.

I think Fox is probably the best for politics, although Tapper and King at CNN are quite good when they have them on. Fox is biased for politics, obviously, but their political coverage at least gets GOP professionals on screen, MSNBC simply rants and cries on air with a variety of fringey folks, it's pretty bizarre.

Thanks, Straight Cash and Pettifogger.

It seems like a more complex question than one might at first think.

Fox is not being Fox, as you say dismissively. It was a question asked for a guest or two. No one said he should leave Hawaii. They did suggest he make a verbal statement about it because he was verbal about the previous cases.
right. It was just a question.

There hasn't been any sort of consistent Fox drumbeat about Obama and vacations.

It must be nice to live in your bubble.

Awesome. Totally irrelevant. Like me talking about NK internet of Obama getting Osama after Bush gave up.

We are talking about RETURNING FROM VACATION. it is the thread title.

Why should the President be involved in local law enforcement matters?



...in all likelihood, he'd just aggravate racial tension with some bullshite comment about what his son would look like. It would accomplish nothing good.
