I'm guessing that like most Americans you have absolutely no idea what those two terms mean.

By definition, Liberal, Supporting Change
Conservatie, more against Change :)
Thank you for completely underestimating me friend :)

No, if that is your understanding of those two terms then I think i was right on the money.

I think we need a moritorium on the use of those two words, just to see if people are able to make coherent and rational arguments without resorting to what have become nothing more than invectives, drained of all real meaning.

So today, when Obama held a Q&A session with the Democratic caucus, CNN and MSNBC covered it.... and Fox did not. Not an early cutaway, just flat out pretended that it didn't happen.

Fair and balanced?

To be fair, MSNBC cut away in the middle of things to blather on about something, but they did come back to it after a few minutes.

Fox got butt hurt when Obama threw them a changeup. Punk ass news coverage by a wannabe bully. I'm not saying that I agree with what Obama's doing, but come on man, grow a pair and cover the damn Q&A!

Why do any of them *have* to cover a meeting the President holds?
Especially the second in two days?

did any actual news come out of those meetings?????

Although some great arguments have been made for Fox news, I am sad to report that I will still not be tuning in for any of their excellent, fair and balanced coverage.

I would state my opinion about O'Reilly, but all of his co-ed intern attack dogs are just that, dogs. Maybe if he got some good looking ones, he'd get more people to fight with him, in turn increasing his ratings. Brilliant, eh?

I'm not at all saying that any of it HAD to be covered, although I think that coverage is more conducive to the public interest than just repeating the same stories they do in the hours before and after such an event.

My point is that if you're going to proclaim yourself 'Fair and Balanced', it makes sense to cover one if you covered the other.

It appears the Dem. Q&A session was just a set up so particular senators in tough re-election bids could get nice sound bites for their campaigns.

Yay News.
