Media Matters for America

The only thing binding here, is that Caribou Barbie should be bound...and gagged!

Oh, Sarah, former beauty queen and all-around bitch, go back to writing pure libelous crap so I can have something to laugh at. Stay out of the political arena, you have not a brain cell to spare or a thing to offer other than hunting tips.

WTFUX UPNEWS does it again

@Eileen - Actually there is such a watchdog... FactCheck.org. It seems to dish it out without regard to party or ideology. Treating all mis-statements of fact equally regardless of who or what says them. I recommend it.

Live in a bubble and refuse to listen to anything you don't want to hear. It seems to be the conservative way

rape is nothing to laugh about. Then again, these me ]n are conservative Republicans, who call themselves Christians, they are rich white men and bullies. No doubt each of them has at least a date rape story in their closets. Who would be stupid enough to sleep with them, except maybe Carrie Prejean or Sarah Palin.

No, it's because many of them find "rape" more sensational than, say, "masturbation." I mean, they ARE a bunch of jerk-off's, right?

Boys, rape is nothing to joke about. Then again, these "men" are conservative Republicans, who call themselves Christians. They are rich white bullies who lie incessantly. No doubt each of them has at least a date rape story in their closets waiting to be opened. Who would be stupid enough to sleep with them, except maybe Carrie Prejean or Sarah Palin.

What are they talking about?!?!?!?!

You half-answered your own question Cathleen. They're talking about...TALKING points!

If you're watching or listening to FOX, you should always KNOW you're getting lies and/or entertainment rather than news. By now, only those who choose to remain ignorant are unaware of this.

Fake info, fake apolgies, FAKE, FAKE FAKE! If you weren't
talking about FUX News here, it could just as easily describe a typical installment of "The Oprah Winfrey Show"!

Niklas, you are sooooo right.

This is just the new "death panels" - to distract from the real healthcare reform debate - getting people to expend themselves on what's NOT in the legislation.

@ShawThatcher - That is true for people who think for themselves, but there are a LOT of people who can't or just don't think at all and want someone or something else to massage the complicated and contradictory facts of the world and feed it to them pre-masticated. They want "Authorities" to tell them "the truth." There are some of these people in every mass movement, but at the moment, in this country, the far-right is attracting the majority of these Authoritarian Followers.

This foreigner was handed American citizenship status so he could buy an American news network. Disgusting! He is a liar, a rich white bully, a conservative terrorist and a Republican bully.

I love Sarah Palin, the GOP's parody of themselves.
They should be going rouge.

There are computer programs that can (are claimed to) detect a writer's style... so in a book substantially ghosted by another writer, it can tell who wrote what.

do you guys even watch college ball? See ESPN, they had USC way up in the polls before they lost to Stanford. Sportscasters never get it right, especially Pat Forde. So this really isn't news.
Woody Hayes hated both scUM and Michigan State so this has a bit of accuracy, so yes Ohio State would be happy to beat them both.

Maybe they are just lazy.

The thing is, these terrorists aren't "enemy combatants" in the sense that members of an enemy country's armed forces are. If they were "enemy combatants" in the true sense of that term, they'd have to be dealt with in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, which Bush & Co. always vigorously denied they were entitled to.

What these guys really... Read More are is what's usually called "unlawful combatants" - individuals who are just civilians who are engaging in armed conflict -- and as such they can be detained or prosecuted UNDER THE DOMESTIC LAW of the detaining state for their actions. They MAY be tried in military tribunals, which might be what Doocy is referring to in his uninformed way when he says such people have never been tried in a "civil" court. But as Bruce says, above, the correct term is "civilan court" and there's nothing preventing the U.S. from trying these guys, who are essentially just criminals, not members of another country's armed forces, in a civilian criminal court for their actions which are essentially just crimes, not "acts of war".

Bush & Co.'s labeling all this crap a "war" on terror (which was all just self-aggrandizing posturing on the part of Bush who fancied himself "a War President") instead of just dealing with it like what it was - criminal conduct - muddied the legal waters, particularly because Bush wanted to have his cake at eat it, too. He wanted this to be considered a "war," but he didn't want to have to deal with the "bad guys" either in accordance with the Geneva Conventions OR in accordance with regular U.S. criminal law. He just wanted to be able to hold them indefinitely, with no due process, and be able to torture them in the hopes of gaining information. See where that's gotten us. Thanks, Dubya. Total FUBAR. So typical.

Fox & Friends Doocy and Greta Carlson lie constantly. The talking points get faxed down to them and they just repeat them. It seems some people just turn their brains off.
