Disagree 100%

Weisberg: Virtually every decision-maker and designer of important national news on NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN has an incredible Leftist bent and probably voted for Obama, Kerry, Gore about 90 to 10 over MCain and Bush. They've bashed Bush, Palin, etc.....everything Republican, including simple fiscal conservatism, for many years now. And the White House led by Obama/Rahmbo/Axelrod/Dunn has the nerve to bash FoxNews because they don't follow along? This White House is not only shameless in its zeal to make us more semi-socialist like Europe, they actually detest and obsess on those who disagree with their destructive goals and actions. Your petty catcalls against FoxNews are irrelevant. Your heroes.....Obama, et al......are the relevant ones. If your belief in them is so sincere, and so fact-based, then stick to supporting their plans. Try to defend the plans. By the way, how are the Democrats' actions this year going to help the economy, restore some vitality to the private sector, restore more confidence in our own economic freedoms? Answer: They're not. All actions by Obama/Pelosi/Reid undertaken this year (and previous 2 years by Congress led by Dems) are incredibly destructive to our economy. We basically need actions 180 degrees opposite of what the Dems are doing. On virtually every issue affecting the economy, fed, state and local. We are in HUGE trouble. Try caring about that, instead of your silly mental masturbations/contortions about FoxNews. You folks are pathetic. Period. QED.

Well put. Even Foxes' top shows are liberal and abuse conservatives.

But the liberals won't be happy until EVERY piece of TV-land is whitewashed- they do not want dialog.

Ah, poor julieboomer. I think her feelings got hurt that someone disagrees with her far-leftist radicalism. She sound like she's about to cry.

Julieboomer is.... a typical boomer....thus she has no feelings...except the feeling that the taxpayers of this country owe her and her fellow whining, sniveling generation of boomers a free ride. How in the hell did the greatest generation in America come home and father such a pack of self centered, crybaby's is beyond me. What could have they been thinking, well we won the war, let's go home and make some hippies? No doubt this country will be much better off once the last of this generation of vipers is six feet under and pushing up daisies.

What a bizarre and completely wrong headed view of history. The 'Greatest Generation' were far more liberal than the boomers. They voted FDR in four times, you know.

And since about 66 percent of voters of age 18 to 29 voted for Obama, as opposed to about 50 percent or less for voters of boomer age, your wish for the death of all boomers is rather sadly misplaced.

Don't you Fox News viewers know ANY facts at all?

Re: Re:

Here's a fact for you, I don't see what Fox News, or the voting patterns of the 18/29 year olds, or the voting patterns of the greatest generation have to do with the fact that the majority of boomers are a useless pack of whiners who have always wanted things given to them on a silver platter. Defend them if you want....they're pond scum as far as I'm concerned.

I am really sick and tired of you people who have no idea what you are talking about. You have chosen the wrong generation in regards to useless pack of whiners who always want things given to them on a silver platter. I don't know too many baby boomers who didn't work hard for everything that they have. Most of us had too much pride to ask the government for anything over and above the normal services that are provided to every citizen, even when we fell on bad times. We didn't cry to the government, expecting a handout if things got bad. We pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and did whatever it took to take care of ourselves. Our generation was willing to suck it up and do whatever kind of job was necessary to make ends meet until they could get back on their feet. Most didn't make the kind of money to invest for their retirement and the ones that did ended up losing just about everything and no longer have the resources to continue to invest.

So please tell me all those things that we baby boomers want handed to us on a silver platter since I always hear that and it seems like the only thing that anyone can claim is that feel that we are entitled to the Social Security and Medicare that was promised to us when the government took the money from our paychecks every week. Just remember you will be expecting the government to honor their promise to you when you retire. I don't hear to many of you complaining about all the people who have done nothing, have never paid taxes and aren't willing to go out and support themselves and/or their families and feel entitled to our tax dollars to pay for their rent, utilities, food, clothing and health care. That does not include people who at least make the effort to go out and provide for themselves and/or their families or people who for some legitimate reason cannot provide for themselves and fall short through no fault of their own. How are baby boomers pond scum but those are just unfortunate people?

There is no "leftist" bent in MSM. There is moderate MOR 5%, conservative 75% and right wing trash - like yourself 20%.

However, I do agree:

"We are in HUGE trouble."

That's because the right wing trash have been having far too much influence in running the country for the past 30 years. They are criminals and use their media to create confusion and cover their tracks.

If a higher intelligence ever came her to clean up, Rush Limbaugh would be publicly flogged and castrated before being hung from the nearest lamp post. Setting an example to control these scum is essential.

Could anything get more braindead than the notion of hating a DECADE? Fox News has you guys so addicted to "outrage", you're even willing to add another absurd category to that ever-growing list of "Americans we really hate". Now, apparently, it is those Americans who were born after WWII and before you Fox fans. We understand Fox Newspeak has already taught you to hate...um, let's see now: Educators, Educated Americans, lawyers, entertainers, intellectuals, residents of at least 6 entire US states, poor people, immigrants, French People. And (worst of all!!) Persons Who Show Insufficient Reverence For Fox News (the horror!).

Hatred for Americans is not actually "patriotism", no matter how often or how loudly your talk show hosts claim it is.
