Koppel tells Hannity "You're bad for America."

You would know all about blowing, fag. Liberals like you make me sick. You claim to care about gay rights and then use gay as a slur any chance you get. So you are a fag. Someone who hates homosexuals because they are one.

Show me where I used gay as a slur against you, brainless, knee jerking, right-wing bigot suckbag.

I said nothing about you being gay, though I suspect you are. All I said was that you blow. That is not contingent upon being gay. It just means that in a general sense of the word, you blow.

Both literally and figuratively.

And that goes for the two dumbass halfwit idiots who thanked your post, too.

you don't think they provide balance to the otherwise totally liberal alternatives?.......its only fair......

It's not a priority of any propaganda organ to be either fair or balanced but in your case there may be no other options when obviously objectivity and facts are a liberal bias by your lights.

Hannity is a conservative who supported non conservative candidate for the presidency.

When was the last time a liberal commentator supported a non liberal?

I agree that Hannity is hyper-partisan but he's one of many.

His support of Trump puts him at odds with the establishment though.
 
all fake news fags and subversives like jpp leftists found in this thread should be slaughtered as pigs for the trouble you are causing. a fake news fag would not know what a fact was if it pierced through their heart. fake news thread.

the fact you don't see the liberal bias in every other news source highlights your own bias.......

My reaction to Hannity has always been naked disgust. Not because of his naked partisanship but because of his obvious contempt for facts and the truth and that he's so obviously wrong on so many topics but mostly it's his snide and condescending attitude that disgusts me.

Same here. I have a problem with Maddow's long winded intros, and her flair for the dramatic, but she's in no way the least bit similar to Hannity.

Their markets are vastly different. I'd say the median IQ for Hannity listeners is about 80. Maddow targets an audience with quite a bit more grey matter.

Yes, hence I said it was a complex question, and I don't have all the answers. Obviously, one must have clear and lucid understanding of the nature and scope of the problem before speculating on possible solutions.

Perhaps there should be a demand for Fox's propaganda shows to stop using the term 'news'?

The most shocking manifestation of the problem was the run up to the Iraq War Disaster. Most of the world was against that dumb ass war, but the American press acted like cheerleaders for Dumbya's administration, egging us on to war.

If there had been room for more dissenting voices allowed, perhaps we could have saved three trillion dollars, five thousand American lives, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives, and over a decade of carnage and destruction.

I remember that. I think that was mainly due to right wing ownership of most of the news stations.

Mott, have you actually read up on the fairness doctrine? I haven't read up on it some years, but from what I recall, it was because there was limited channels available, iow, limited viewpoint channels that our citizens could get a "fair" understanding of what is happening. With the internet, there was no longer a need for the fairness doctrine. And with the explosion of cable channels, there again was no longer a need for the doctrine.

What do you propose now?

Limiting the term 'news', for real news?

TV in the UK cannot be as biased as the US, even though the BBC pushes the envelope at times especially with its Brexit coverage. Even Sky News is fair and balanced unlike its US counterpart Fox News.

Interestingly, wasn't Brexit driven by the overt promise of saving billions in healthcare costs? Something that was an admitted lie after the Yes vote prevailed?

trump won largely due to his lies about improving healthcare.

In a give and take interview with Shawn Hannity Hannity asked Koppel if he didn't think America was intelligent enough to determine an opinion piece from news! He then asked Koppel if he thought Hannity was bad for America and Koppel's answer was spot on right. Yeah...you have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than fact.

Now before someone goes 2nd grader on me...yes...the other side does it too. I have as little use for Rachel Maddow as for Hannity and Koppel's comment applies equally to her.

But are they really harmful to America? Don't we have a personal responsibility to educate ourselves against these ideologically driven propagandist ?

Koppel was a complete idiot in that interview and the claim that ONLY the right have an ideological agenda can only be claimed by morons.

But yes, in Ted Koppel's convoluted world, if you are not a progressive liberal on steroids interested in turning the nation into a cesspool like Venezuela, you are bad for the country.

That is the Fascist mentality of those on the left these days. They cannot defend the massive failure their ideological views have been, therefore, denigrate those who don't goose step march to their agenda.

Only idiots think a brain dead fool like Koppel could be right about anything.

What facts does he get wrong? How about some specifics in lieu of whiney bloviating?
