[QUOTE=DJD;494674]You really think a conservative minded person doesn't get a dose of liberal news media? We have been hammered with it for years!!! Speaking for myself I view plenty of it and......if it's posted on here as a link to someones thread I show the respect to the poster to read it before commenting.
Like I mentioned before there USED to be more liberal folks on here but they got all excited and butthurt and started with the name calling and Private messages with threatening/abusive content and were banned. Seems like a tactic common with the liberal folks who get so upset that they can't see straight. A few were Moose1am, Slippedcork, PL and another that I can't remember.
You seem to take everything personal? It's really not it's just opinions. Isn't it ok for someone to have their own belief? And like stated before if you don't like a poster just block him/her instead of trying to rally the troops to attack that person.
You tried the poll as an attack against Geo and that went over like a turd in a punch bowl....kinda figured you learned something by that move. How about post something thought provoking or a legit opposing view instead of trying to rattle someones cage?
Just some helpful suggestions. :)[/QUOTE]

Well now, we have HEARD from part of the choir. But did we expect less! :cool:

After I typed that I thought hmmmmm no need to post that and I was honestly trying to take that off so you didn't feel picked upon. Oh well I tried. :)

Getting liberally biased news doesn't make the situation any better than getting conservatively biased news...

I don't hold out much hope for mass media fairness. "Objective journalism" has always been somewhat of a myth, but in recent years both sides have given up even the pretense of objectivity. For me, the only way to get the "news" is unfiltered, without any "analysis." C-Span is the closest thing we have to that now that I know of.

I'd rather sit on a yellow jackets nest than read/hear anymore communist garbage from those sites listed.

A few alternatives to FOX News and the Geo Postings

1. 3 oz Maker's Mark on the rocks.
2. Tequlla Margarita
3. 3 X Bud Light Limes at 45 degrees.
4. 3 X Guinness long necks at 45 degrees
5. One really big quaalude

All of the above will provide no less mental confusion, and no less of a future headache. However, they will be more fun for the short term.

Partake.....enjoy.
