Life is Easier When You Surrender Your Identity to a Political Party

I wrote a post about President Obama's appearance on 60 Minutes and juxtaposed it to some of the more fiery recent speaking engagements he has had. I also referenced Glenn Beck, the FOX News oracle who has been especially incisive of late concerning ACORN

Your post has mixed signals and review points:
1. Anti-pro Obama?2. Pro-anti Beck?Which is it? Both probably.

You see this is why I have problems with the folks who immediately call me a racist when I chastise Serena Williams for her tirade.....Yet when I compliment her apology, I don't get the pox removed.
I try to look at all viewpoints, and don't call FOX News, Faux News.....I understand their take on things. I watch Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly...I also catch Mathews, Schultz and Olbermann...I suspect the people who throw invective don't watch much variety.
So, Dan, I just can't see the world in the black and white terms some do.

Faux news, Fake news, Fixed news, or any other reputable label does NOT apply to FOX. They spew hate, discontent, lies, fabrication and repetition by a cast of evil, nasty people like Beck and Hannity and O'Lielly, et al.

They toss bombs and plant IED's and then try to act like they did nothing or don't know anything about the sources for their words of mass deception ... then they pull a Sgt. Schultz: "I don't know nothing. Nothing."

The worst part: many millions actually believe FOX's crap.

FOX overall is dishonest, untrustworthy, a pack of liars, and purveyors of hate and discontent, and it's all for ratings and money.

They do not IMHO serve any interest for the country as a whole as they claim they do.

"Hannity's America!" Since when did become the owner?
