Nice just nice...

Go to CNN and read about the Utah execution and read and watch nothing but family members of the killer and PHD observers of the execution. 

Go to FOX News and you get statements from the victims of the murderer and facts about what the killer had done to lead to his execution.  (and a couple of lines the killer's family at the end).

[Ty in Tampa]

No.

And no.

[pots]

sorry should have said "If you" go

[strosrays]

So, if I go and read all this, then what?

[HudsonHawk]

So, if I go and read all this, then what?

You'll see why Fox is fair and balanced.

[Guinness]

So, if I go and read all this, then what?

You'll get ice cream.

[Gizzmonic]

So, if I go and read all this, then what?

You'll still eventually get old and die.

In your last moments, your life will flash before your eyes.  Most people will see their wife/husband, kids, people they loved, but you will instead see the websites you visited.  "Man, I flamed that libtard hard on that CNN thread about the creep who was executed in Utah!" you'll think, as you expire.  Or perhaps "That dude who looks 12 years old on CNN once read my tweet about how President Obama is too wordy and professorial on the air."  And you'll die with a smile on your face.

you'll see that there is no such thing as balanced coverage by either side of the spectrum.

you'll see that there is no such thing as balanced coverage by either side of the spectrum.

Yes.  Maybe because it's so easy to compare these days, but it seems more blatant now. 

[Guinness]

yeah, but CNN's goal is to make money for its parent, so if they skew stories a certain way, it's only because that's how they maximize viewers and profits.  Fox is unashamedly and unabashedly the media arm of the right wing and the Republican party.

Know what we need more of?

Political arguing.

I'm just sayin'....

[MRaup]

I'm just sayin'....

Of course you are.

And *I'M* just saying...

[Ron Brand]

Fascists.

[MRaup]

Fascists.

Don't hate me just because I love America.

Yes.  Fox has no desire to make money.  You're right on top of that.

BOTH channels do whatever sells advertising, or else they wouldn't be on the air.

[Ebby Calvin]

Let's just end it here and move on.

[Guinness]

I never said anything of the kind.  Who would suggest that Republicans aren't out to make money, ethics be damned?

[Guinness]

Let's just end it here and move on.

OK.

So let's not have anyone start any threads like this again.

[MRaup]

OK.

So let's not have anyone start any threads like this again.

Let us never talk of it again.

[Guinness]

Fair enough

[strosrays]

Yes.  Maybe because it's so easy to compare these days, but it seems more blatant now. 

FWIW, I don't think CNN is your antipode for FOX.

OK, I read the Foxnews article and dont see all these statements from the victims, in fact the only quotes from the victim side is 1 single quote at the end of the article.  There are a bunch of quotes from the condemned murder's brother though.

I dont really see the big deal with either article.

Wow, that was so not what was there at lunch.  No mention of the cop that he shot in the abdomen.  The victim's family at the end instead of the beginning.  Odd

You rang?

[Alkie]

You rang?

Oh, well, if YOU'RE jumping in, I'm down.

[Limey]

Oh, well, if YOU'RE jumping in, I'm down.

You can't spell P.A.R.T.Y without Limey, and P.A.R.T.

[Lurch]

Whats the story with this NY fast food (?) restraunt where you walk in and apparently its a giant vending machine, with cooks in the back keeping it filled?

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

You can't spell P.A.R.T.Y without Limey, and P.A.R.T.

And you can't spell patriot without a riot.

[Alkie]

Sounds like half of Midtown.

[MikeyBoy]

Dammit, Mark. I was this close to changing my political views when you stopped them.

It mimics similar restaurants in Japan.  Its on St. Marks which has turned into an Asian wonderland.
