That's about as accurate a description of FoxNews as I've seen lately.

and your liberal solution is to take them off the air? To give you more control of the media? Conflicting opposing views set back your cause?

If it was illegal to tell a lie, there wouldn't be much to watch on tv.

Difference is, you liberals think everybody is stupid. That is your view of man. You the elite know the truth and the common man just believes everything he is told.

The conservative view is man is very smart, can smell a lie, instinctively knows the truth. That's why we are not afraid of free speech, and even encourage it.

Yes. FoxNews is all about truth.

that's not the point, you celebrate the shutting down of opinions that are not true. I'd hate to live in a world controlled by you and your kind. Lies are a part of life. Eliminating lies is a very dangerous agenda, especially when it is you who decides what is true and what is a lie.

Yes, I can understand why you would embrace this view.

wow, that's heavy man, I just love your snarky replies, so much wisdom packed into so few words. Too bad about your loss to communicate. Oh well, you can still cut and paste.

You could save even more time by not reading it.

I'm not trying to save time, I'm trying to communicate. And I'm not afraid of opposing opinions, and I don't celebrate when they are shut down. I welcome opposing views and I think difference of opinion makes the world a richer place. And the more venues the people have to express those views, whether I personally think they are true or just lies, the better.

but I don't really have to think for myself anymore. It's all already been written on the internet and all I have to do is cut and paste. And if anybody gives me any shit, I just post them a snarky reply.

communication and thinking for yourself and attempting to express your thoughts using the English language is overrated. I'm getting along just fine with cut and paste and snarky replies

Liberals' First Amendment: "Anyone who disagrees with us shut the fuck up."

As much as they will try to deny it, the evidence is overwhelming. It's the whole basis of Political Correctness, to choke off unapproved views. Tellingly, venues controlled by liberals, eg universities, mainstream media, government, are notorious for suppressing dissenting opinion, at least if that opinion is conservative.

Fox News has been as big a nightmare for them as Limbaugh. They can't shut them down and they can't force people to stop listening to them. And their attempts to rebut them invariably turn into embarrassing ad hominem rants.
