[QUOTE=JDK721;22673740]I can list countless videos of Fox being biased too
Fox lies, slants polls/graphs, brings on mainly Republicans/people who agree with them, edits footage, etc. to support their position[/QUOTE]
I never said they didn't! In fact, I was saying that MSNBC is biased as well as Fox, not that MSNBC is biased and Fox isn't. I'm not defending Fox. MSNBC is my favorite news program.

MSNBC is biased, but no where near as biased as Fox.
your three Youtube videos prove nothing
[QUOTE=JDK721;22673750]where did I ever imply or say that[/QUOTE]
When you disregarded the video because it was uploaded by someone with a clear right wing bias.
[QUOTE=JDK721;22673775]MSNBC is biased, but no where near as biased as Fox.

It proves. You just refuse to admit it, that's all.
hey how about that energy policy

I never called them unbiased
you're putting words in my mouth

I know you like Fox and all, but MSNBC is not nearly as biased as them[/QUOTE]
I know this may come to a shock to you, and you'll more than likely refute this claim, but...
I watch CNN more than any other news network.

They show that MSNBC is just as biased as Fox.
Also, this is 7 pieces of evidence now. Not just 3.
if you're smart enough to recognize bias, you're smart enough to ignore it
[QUOTE=Lambeth;22673947]if you're smart enough to recognize bias, you're smart enough to ignore it[/QUOTE]
I don't care about the bias. Like I said, MSNBC is my favorite "news"(Read: Political Commentary) station, Fox is my second(I actually like watching two polar opposite commentators). I care about the hypocrisy.
Just hope there isn't a US Chernobyl!
[QUOTE=Kabstract;22677824]Just hope there isn't a US Chernobyl![/QUOTE]
It's highly unlikely. Nuclear power is much safer than what most people panic about.
[QUOTE=Kabstract;22677824]Just hope there isn't a US Chernobyl![/QUOTE]
nice one
Chernobyl happened for two reasons
1) human error
2) flawed plant design (and they damn well knew that too)
Although human error can still occur, our powerplants are no longer designed around the same stupid plan. The RBMK system was horribly inefficient and dangerous.
Wait, what am I saying? The US never used the RBMK system.

You're a most interesting person. I can see you lean to the left a good deal, but you're not an asshole about it.

Aren't you proving his point Prisma?
Case in point: Citing articles from Fox, regardless of their status as editorials or reports, will incite flame wars on Facepunch.
I'd suggest people just stop doing it, but it's just too funny to see everyone flip a shit when it happens. Liberal forum. :P
Democrats complain. A lot. It's their job.

Why should anyone say 'yes' to anything they don't want passed
[QUOTE=the_KMM;22686692]Why should anyone say 'yes' to anything they don't want passed[/QUOTE]
except they say no to EVERYTHING

Republicans keep us in the dark ages
they have no sense of progression
Glaber: Wow Obama really sucks at getting legislation through congress huh? I mean, he really blew it on that energy bill.
Glaber four months ago: Obama is a communist for shoving health-care down our throats!!!

I remember watching a video on Wind Power or something. They were saying it's a good source of clean, environmentally safe energy but the wind isn't very reliable since it stops every now and then and that solar panels are good but they are very expensive.

Why is it that republicans are only "conservative" about interpreting the constitution when it suits them?
Whenever abortion rights, rights of the accused, or basic parliamentary procedure are in question the republicans stretch constitution more than Barney Frank's asshole. But on gun rights or budget reconciliation it's all "Founding fathers" this and "Sacred document" that.
But that's where the democrats are making their biggest mistake. If they simply challenged the filibuster, the republicans would actually have to [B]do a filibuster[/B]. Considering the fact that most people have never seen a filibuster or know what has to happen the American people will be absolutely horrified to see their congressmen going up and reading from the phone book and all kinds of other time wasting crap. I honestly believe that the republicans would back down because an [B]actual[/B] filibuster would just be too damaging, politically.

they care more about their killing devices than human rights, etc.
it's pathetic

It's more about subsidizing the technology improvements that would solve those problems instead of subsidizing oil companies for no reason or subsidizing farmers to not grow anything.
[QUOTE=the_KMM;22686692]Why should anyone say 'yes' to anything they don't want passed[/QUOTE]
Except it's not like that. they're saying no because democrats are saying yes. They're just being contrary for a petty feud
