Posted on November 6, 2010 at 10:25pmYes – it does matter. The propaganda reaching most of the US population is that FOX is not the credible organization it is. Anything that might get more people to actually watch FOX for themselves and learn the truth is important.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 10:19pmSo, I just went over to National Review Online and watched a clip of Maddow take to task Fox hosts for supporting conservative candidates, and also contributing money (Beck, Hannity, etc) I cannot believe the hypocrisy! I don’t really watch that channel, just clips and hearsay. That clip mad me so upset that I fred off a long, long letter to msnbc about the hypocrisy and childishness that overwhelms those hosts. I understand that they are liberals, and Fox has conservatives. But I don’t see Fox hosts going on and on about msnbc hosts being held accountable for this or that. I don’t want them to. It’s ridiculous. Msnbc hosts are adults and professionals and they need to act like it.
Report Post »(please don’t respond to my post by calling msnbc host names. I know a lot of Blaze posters do, and I find that childish as well. We are adult here. Let’s act like it.)
So, I will never watch msnbc again, not for the documentaries, nothing. I hope they don’t treat their viewers (although now former) with the same disrespect they treat other news channels.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 9:56pmI wonder these days. Does #2 Matter? Sadly without multiple news sources there’s always a risk that just 1 could end up well like most of the lame stream media is right now. So having a #2 does matter but it would matter allot more if they (CNN=#2) didn’t continually and repeatedly trash their own credibility to chase an agenda outside of their opinion shows.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 9:51pmRegardless of where it was shown – one thing it did show is that sadly this country doesn’t seem to be as fed up with the liberals nonsense as I had hoped or thought it was. Yes it went pretty well but basically the worst of the sorry sob’s are still back in there and I really thought the winners would win by a huge margin. Oh well – maybe in two more years more people will wake up – we can certainly hope for that.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 9:47pmIt’s obvious that the other news organizations have suppressed news stories and have less than balanced, favorable/unfavorable reporting between the right and left. With an obvious bias, why would anyone want to watch “their” news? When it comes down to opinion, everyone knows what they like, nobody’s going to change your mind, the ratings for opinion prove it. It matters because FOX is living rent free in their minds 24/7… and they can’t mimic the results, without telling the truth. Carrying the Progressives water is hard work, how long can they keep it up?

Posted on November 7, 2010 at 4:19pmSince you are w/o a television, the puppet show is a bit of levity,to make a salient point. Glenn Beck,covers some very challenging material, in addition to suggested reading. The material isn’t at times pleasant stuff, but it never the less is TRUE.

Posted on November 8, 2010 at 3:55pmGet a T.V. & tune in. Your an artist. You might like the puppet shows. You might even be able to help Glenn come up with some new puppets. No matter how you feel about Glenn he connects with people & gets the point across whether you think he’s a little nutty or not. The puppets are the way he sees America when they’re at the hands of a progressive power/money grab. As an artist I have a question for you. How does putting the cross in a jar of urine constitute art?

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 9:39pmIt matters for another reason – it proves the majority of the country is center right and don’t appreciate the left leaning of the news. When you see on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC a panel of pundits and there are 3 on the left and 1 close to center that is deemed the conservative, you know you aren’t getting a very balanced view of the subject being discussed. When news isn’t being covered because it might hurt the left, the people get pretty upset when they finally hear about it on FOX (aka Rev. Wright) and when it finally makes the other channels it is down-played or mocked as not relevant.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 9:17pmFox did a great job and deserve to pat themselves on the back – their coverage had a fair and balanced panel. CNN did a fair job – my only problem with them was they had too many people on their panel (although it was rather balanced) and there was a tendency to talk over one another. MSNBC looked like 6th graders talking about the 5th graders – all they seem to do was snicker and mock Republicans – laughing at their own lame jokes.

Posted on November 7, 2010 at 4:12pmIt matters because ratings = increased revenue. Nothing wrong with that. It matters because ,more people want straight talk, rather fluff, mis- direction,and charades.
The better question is why are the ratings of Fox,increasing,when other “news” organizations are dropping? Could Fox be presenting the viewers a more complete reporting without having it squeezed through the stations’ sausage factory? It is very clear to me why Fox prevails.

Posted on November 7, 2010 at 1:59amYeah it matters, to a certain extent, it shows what the real mainstream is.
Unfortunately, we only see it on TV, and hear it on the radio. I don‘t feel like our way if thinking is mainstream when I’m out in the real world though. It’s like most are afraid to show it outside their circle of friends, or out side of gatherings.
How cool, and comforting it would be to be driving down the road and see other people that think the way you do. Lets show that we are the normal people. One way to do that is a decal, or bumper sticker. Don’t be sceered.

He has gotten people once again interested in the true history of our country, not the swill the left has been passing off as history. He has gotten people to question the lies the left is telling. He even got me to pick up and read a 1300 page history book. Like Beck says don’t take his word for it read it yourself. Amazon loves Beck even though they will not advertise on his show. He has cause dramatic sales increases in history books. I even bought and read “The Fereralist Paper”. Challenging to say the least. Those were some very smart and well educated people.
