Do you mind explaining how pandering is considered racist?

How do allegedly racist comments by Democrats make the fact that Neo-nazis are right wing any less true?

How does it make Republican racist comments any less odious?

I should have said that the organized racist element in America tends to be right wing, and I hope that clears it up for you.

Hey, hey, HEY!

HEY!

Am I here? Is this thing on? I'm talking here!

I SAID, Fox News, as shown in the video I provided, referred to the Senator's wife, and the potential future First Lady, as a "BABY MAMA".

Do you have a FAIR and BALANCED explanation for why Fox News would say that about the Senator's wife?

Is Laura Bush ever referred to as George's "Baby Mama"? No? How come? Why not? Is there some reason why Michelle Obama is a baby-mama but Laura Bush is not?

I plead with you to explain this to me. It's fair and balaced, I know it must be, because it's Fox News. So you can make me understand why one is a babymama and one is off-limits. Please. I'm begging you.

Anyone else note the manner in which Dax suggests the right is racist?

No sorry I can't.I have been watching Fox news for the last 3 months and sometimes I have to laugh.Fox news is owned by Rupert Murdock,who owns a newspaper in England called the Sun,a racist filthy rag,all fox news is,is a tv version of that newspaper for Americans,without the filth,nuff said.

Yawn) Get back to us when something new is said. The problem (all objective studies aside which have concluded that Fox News Channel DOES, in fact, provide the most balanced news coverage among the major networks), is that the political left is going to continue to brand Fox as latter-day Nazis simply because they DON'T act like a media outlet for the Democratic National Committee.

I am watching a debate on Fox news on affirmitive action being taken away if Omama wins the election,and the that woman Laura Ingram is just priceless,I love to meet people like her.

If you would like to get into a "Battle of the Verses" on network news coverage i.e. who's balanced and who's not I'll be happy to oblige you. Lemme know!

In the meanwhile I'm simply stating that media studies done by rather left-wing universities have concluded that Fox News Channel is more centrist in its news presentation than ANY of the other major news networks. Now you can jump up and down and foam at the mouth and scream "right-wing Nazis" all you want, if that's what you want to do. But, compared to their network news competition, Fox News Channel is closer to being "fair and balanced" than anyone else. Period. Get over it!

Dax, I will grant you that militant and organized racists in America tend to be right wing. Those people number a few thousand. On the other hand, the endemic racism thaat plagued America in the Civil Rights era and even into today tends to be exercised overwhelmingly by white, DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPORTING voters.

The racism that plagued America in the civil rights era was a holdover from the fifties, and was indeed often propounded by Dixiecrats, southern Democrats.

Much of the conversion from Democrat to Republican in the south came about because the southern Democrats preferred the Republican's policies on race to the Dem's.

Rupert Murdock was born an Australia. He inherited a newspaper chain here from his father. Rupert has taken out American citenship to own media in the USA. His papers here are tabloid but not particularly right wing. They have supported both parties in diferent elections.

I suspect Fox News bias might have more to do with its American managers than its owner.

Not so in the states though. See the NY Post.

I'm waiting for the topless girl pics to appear on the front page of the Wall St. Journal now that he owns it.
