RE: Today's deep thought
Come to think of it, FNC is on whenever I go to the dentist's office. So in addition to being degenerate gamblers, we must also have lousy teeth!

Yeah, it's curious reading FNC audience members described as being anti-social cigarette smoking gamblers.
Is Mr. Mann a Primitive Baptist evangelist on the side?

Ever notice how News Hounds cherry picks mostly segments from Fox that have little balance? Most 3 year olds would understand that it would be impossible to have 100% balance. But we are dealing with the likes of littlejohnt and Brian the dog washer.
Rarely, if ever, do the Hideous Hens give Fox credit for being balanced by showing and discussing segments that are fully balanced.
If they actually watched more of Fox prgramming they would see that Fox is far more balanced than CNN and MessNBC. Probably more balanced that CBS as well.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just read the post at Huff-Po, re: Today's Deep Thought link above.
Read the "professional" media critic's puerile and fatuous piece about the FNC audience and then read the comments from posters extorting others to email corporate headquarters over having to see FNC airing in some place of business.
It becomes pretty clear that all perspective has gone completely AWOL with these folks.

Watching Jon Scott interview Dr. Garner, discussing current medical trends. My advice for Dr. Garner, I understand that all of us from time to time change direction mid-word when we're speaking, but it's NOT a good idea to start to say the word country, then stop suddenly after saying only the first five letters.

It doesn't matter how civil or gentle I am in critiquing a Huff-Po piece, they will NOT allow a post to go through.
They will put through some banal comment I have made to a fellow poster, but not ANYTHING that rebuts a Huff-Po writer.

The cablegamer is incorrect when she describes Kiran Chetry as rarely being heard from on CNN.
Chetry, who wanted Gretchen Carlson's position on F&F, is on daily in that same time slot on CNN.
I never enjoyed F&F as much since E.D. Hill left.

I wasn't aware of what Kiran Chetry tried to do when negotiating her contract. I'm very disappointed to hear about what she did.

Newsbusters is reporting that Kathie Griffin, on CNN today, has referred to Carrie Prejean as a moron for being opposed to gay marriage. By Griffin's standard, that means that our President is a moron because he opposes gay marriage.
When the hater Perez Hilton asked that infamous question, Prejean responded by saying "
Well I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage.
Well, isn't that evil!
She continued "And, you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.
and it was that comment that made the haters go into newshound mode and refer to her by the c word.
Based on the way every statewide election on the issue has gone in recent years, CNN and Griffin ought to be careful referring to a majority of those who voted as morons.

Griffin is another bottom feeding comedian who lives and dies by on garbage. There is no humor there.
