		<description>I have found that funny too, Vanya.
Being neither a Conservative or a Liberal though, I have noticed that the leftists point of view is more often expressed by the Media.  It appears that the leftist that yell the most about the MSM being conservative is because it is not liberal enough to suit their narrow agenda.
Michelle may get paid to be on these shows.  I assume that anyone that appears on TV is being paid, though I can not say for certain one way or the other.  But I am not paying her.  I also do not watch TV, most of it is crap, and their is no news, just opinions dressed up as facts by bothe sides.
You are also her audiance, is she pandering to you also?  I like the vents because she appears to be speaking her mind, and that is refreshing.  That I agree with some of what she says is a given.  If I did not like anything she had to say I would quit watching.  It&#039;s like hitting yourself with a hammer.  Sure, their are masochists that may like it, but I am not one of them. I don&#039;t watch O&#039;reilly because he is an opiniated wind bag most of the time.  Sometimes I may agree with him (I even agree with you some times). But I am not going to try to force him off the air.  He has a message and the means to get t out.  It is his right to do so, just as it is my right to not listen.

Perhaps you are right about conservatives being marginalized becasue they are a tiny minority.  Considering the land slide victory of President Kerry, and the fact that the dems currently control the house and the senate I may have to concede that point.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s funny is that righties say the media has a leftist bias. While leftists insist it has a conservative bias! Wyrd, are you saying Michelle appears on Fox without getting paid for it? I don&#039;t believe that. Also you, her audience, pay her way, so she panders to you, like all rightie commentators. Maybe you guys are marginalized because you are on the margins.</description>

		<description>Austinnelly:
&quot;The MSM is like a herd of really big lemmings; they think the same and they fall for the same BS. Someone reports something they like and they run with it, even if it doesn’t pass the smell test.&quot;

I do think they have a ring of MASTERS running the propaganda machine for the liberals through a few websites. 

Like Soros&#039; MoveOn&#039;org, it is &quot; we pay you we own you.&quot;kind of operation.

One people, one voice. From coast to coast, from NY Time to Hollywood, from Yale to Princeton, from Katie Couric to Tim Russert, from Pelosi to Schumer.

So much for the freedom of speech inside the Democratic Party and the liberal circles. Look at Joe Lieberman! That poor guy has been skinned alive by his own people!

I cannot imagine what would happen if we let the liberals take over this country!

Time for sobering thoughts.</description>

		<description>Why does Michelle need to go after the &#039;lies of Fox News&#039;?  It&#039;s one network and there is a whole non-profit organization that does nothing but try to discredit them.  People have written books about it.  Meanwhile, you&#039;ve got the MSM networks reprinting the most outrageous lies and slanders of Democrat politicians with no fact checking whatsoever.  Howard Dean should be in a strait jacket with a thorazine drip in a padded cell, instead is treated like an oracle.  Calling an entire segment of the population &#039;brain dead&#039; or never worked an honest day in their life is simply accepted.  Dan Rather puts up forgeries that might as well have been written in crayon and even as he&#039;s hooked out the door, he&#039;s given prizes for &#039;good reporting.&#039;  I&#039;m supposed to get excited about O&#039;Reilly&#039;s foul ups?  The guy is an opinionated jerk.  Trying to get him to change his mind is like pulling a train off its tracks but I don&#039;t see him engaged in a full scale fraud.  To me, it&#039;s about proportion.  The MSM is like a herd of really big lemmings; they think the same and they fall for the same BS.  Someone reports something they like and they run with it, even if it doesn&#039;t pass the smell test.  Take that commencement speaker in New York; he said Schumer wanted to shoot President Bush between the eyes.  Nice metaphor, jerk.  Barely a whisper.  Remember the Dan Burton &#039;Clinton is a scumbag&#039; comment?  They wouldn&#039;t let that go for weeks.  Fox may have it&#039;s problems but you&#039;re supposed to think about what you see, not swallow it whole.  That&#039;s what they would like you to do.  Why do you think the MSM does what it does?</description>

		<description>If you liberals can go after your liberal masters ( yes, I think the word master best describe your blind obedience to them) the way we go after Bush, liberals may have a chance to take the House back.

Do you liberal see how we go against Bush on almost..everything?

But, being a passionate liberal, you cannot question your masters. Remember the famous quote &quot; we pay you we own you.&quot;?

I call that &quot;plantation&quot; mentalia. 

It really is. So please don&#039;t give Michelle a hard time until you can be fair and balanced.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the clarification Vanya.
So your position is that Michelle should point out a list of errors on Fox news, which is the only conservative leaning news outlet.  Why should she?  Who pays her salary and writes her orders?  Who tells her whom to investigate?  No one does.  She, and her staff, decides what to vent on. The MSM is liberaly biased.  They have been misdirecting the news for years.  Michelle doing a vent about it will not change anything, but maybe, just maybe it will inform some people to look at the news with a criticle eye, and not buy everything they see.  Why would you take offense at that?  If you want to see a ripping piece on the lies of the Fox news network then you can do so yourself.  Get a friend with a video camera, toss up some back ground and troll for the lies on their archive site.  You can also Tivo the fox news channel so you can be sure to grab the choicest lies.  Best Buy has some nice video capture cards, and they are easy to install. Conservatives feel that they are marginalized enough, no need for Michelle to attack her base to make you happy.</description>

		<description>Vanya, what is your opinion on Dan Rather and his report on Bush? Jesse MacBeth? 

Do you have a list of stories fabricated by NY Times?

I am just interested to know whether you are a fair and balance monitor on both sides or you just want to go after conservatives. 

By the way, good one on OReilly.</description>

		<description>See, Wyrd, if you try you can spell correctly. As for my spelling, I did not punctuate O&#039;Reilly in my Google search terms because Google ignores punctuation. As for name-calling, you called me ignorant so I responded in kind. I apologize. I should not have been drawn into it. Michelle sets the tone here with her rather liberal use of personal insults. 

I still don&#039;t understand what your point is. Is it that it&#039;s OK to lie because everybody does it? Or that it&#039;s Ok to lie to millions of people, but not billions of people?

My point (as I stated in a previous post) is that Michelle should examine the network she appears on (Fox) with the same critical eye she casts on the rest of the MSM.

I did not take issue with the accuracy of Michelle&#039;s stories. IMO, they are minor with the exception of the GM story. A woman in a canoe in a few inches of water? Sure it&#039;s funny but it hardly rises to the level of the lies on Fox (see below). And I too question the ethics of networks misrepresenting themselves and sending people undercover to get a story. Although the results can be interesting.

Fox lies about White House vandalism:
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1689

O&#039;Reilly&#039;s show is an opinion show but he at least should try to get his facts straight:

		<description>Nice job exposing the total lack of substance in Vanya&#039;s alleged &#039;argument&#039;, Wyrd.  Although I early on (regrettably) also criticized &#039;birdman&#039; for his spelling, it is truly a moot point.  To assume that someone is unintelligent or uninformed because spelling never clicked for them is arrogant, foolish and disconnected.  It is the substance of their argument that is important and virtually nothing else.

His argument has substance.  Where is yours?

I have become so fatigued by the lefty&#039;s personal attacks and vagueries (I really have lost interest in debating their babble).  I do recognize, however, that when you don&#039;t have facts to point out in support of your argument, there is no other way to feign any base for your position.

So why bother with them?  They are not part of the solution... why expand their role as part of the problem?

To answer my own query, it is probably because in these most serious of times in our history, their ridiculous stances provide us with some form of entertainment and humor...  albeit, pretty sick and tragic humor.  There is nothing else there to be derived.

In that spirit, I still await her &#039;googled other people&#039;s answers&#039; to where O&#039;Reilly &quot;lied&quot;...  not departed from &lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;her&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; opinions, but verifiably &lt;B&gt;&quot;LIED&quot;&lt;/B&gt;.  

I also concur that O&#039;Reilly has nothing to do with the material Michelle presented above, and that Vanya continues unable to disprove anything Michelle brought up in her Vent.

PS:  Vanya, how is it possible that you failed to punctuate O&#039;Reilly correctly, not once but &lt;B&gt;twice!&lt;/B&gt; in your second post above??  Horrors!  Surely you don&#039;t want us to think you an &lt;B&gt;idiot&lt;/B&gt;, as you regard the rest of us, eh?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nice job exposing the total lack of substance in Vanya&#8217;s alleged &#8216;argument&#8217;, Wyrd.  Although I early on (regrettably) also criticized &#8216;birdman&#8217; for his spelling, it is truly a moot point.  To assume that someone is unintelligent or uninformed because spelling never clicked for them is arrogant, foolish and disconnected.  It is the substance of their argument that is important and virtually nothing else.</p>

		<description>For your sake I will type slower (the palsy in my right arm effects my spelling)
I could type posts in word perfect then cut and paste them.  Seriously though, the message should be more important then the five or six mispelled words in my posts.  I am, of course, disregarding words that have several different spellings, depending on whether you read them in an american newspaper, canadian, Australian, or Brittish (Al Jazera translations don&#039;t count.

Now then, to the heart of the matter.
You, Vanya, are even easier to disregard.  So far your entire argument has been:
1) Do not disrespect the MSM because O&#039;reilly lied
2) Wyrd is an idiot because he can not spell and types poorly
3) Although you have not actualy brought up any facts (other then O&#039;rielly lied) you are comfortable at attempting to insult my inteligence.  
4) You feel that it is alright to call me names, then take offense when Doug disagrees with your own world view.

  Incidentaly, I liked your comment about Doug&#039;s argument.  It is a shame that it does not apply to me. I am assuming that you consider me as sub human because I do not spell check forum posts.  

I am re-wording my question here, so that you may answer it.  You can feel free to disregard it all you wish.

What does O&#039;reilly have to do with the fabricated stories on the montage?  Is it alright for the MSM to fabricate news stories to boost their ratings, stories which reach a billion people or more world wide, just because one aged conservative columnist with a world wide audiance of only a few million lies or exergerates to get his viewpoint across?

Can you answer this question?  I mean, really answer it.  Not just tell us to google somethng, or point out that the &quot;other guy does it too&quot;, or even cast asperasions on my inteligence.
Answer the question if you are serious about a debate.</description>

		<description>Hey, if Wyrd wants to be known as an ignoramus too lazy to learn how to read and write properly, or even use a spell-checker, fine by me. Fact is, most people will reject your message out-of-hand if you can&#039;t write correctly. How far do you think Michelle would get if she refused to use proper spelling and grammar? It&#039;s fundamental. You know, like the three Rs you right wing-nuts are always complaining aren&#039;t being taught in school. Maybe Wyrd was home-schooled?

Even if Wyrd could spell, I would not be sure what his point is.

My &quot;entire world view is cockeyed and wrong-headed&quot;? Brilliant argument! Name-calling is not debate. You don&#039;t even know what my worldview is.</description>

		<description>Wyrd, bad luck for you. Misspelling a word allows Vanya to dismiss any and all comments you will ever make. He/She/It has won the battle, and you must now retire. Because of course nothing you have to say can be accepted as true-you misspelled a word!
Vanya, your entire world view is cockeyed and wrong-headed...but by golly you can Spell! &quot;I love the smell of dictionaries in the morning.&quot;
By the by, today I was talking with a leftist/nut/grandma who thinks Al Franken is too close to the middle-she herself is probably to the left of Sheehan and Murtha. You might not think such people existed, but there she was. And this wasn&#039;t some internet meeting of balanced minds, where nuance is missing from the communication. We were face to face, and I couldn&#039;t help but smile. I&#039;ve known her for years, and she&#039;s sincerely demented. Kind of refreshing, though. Her daddy was called up in front of HUAC.</description>

		<description>Spelling is not my strongest suite. We all have out failings.    
e-mail me at sacre_wyrd@yahoo.com if you would like to educate me on the finer points of debate and spelling. 
I would still like to know what your origional statement has to do with the vent. 
Bringing Up O&#039;reily, which has nothing to do with the vent, has me boggled.  I can not understand how he would have anything to do with the vent?
That he has lied is irrelavant.  Most of the data used to justify the Iraq war was based on inteligence gathered during Bill Clintons regime, yet no one says &quot;Bill Clinton lied, and people died&quot;.  Why is that?  Is it because most people regard it as irrelavant?  So I ask you, which lie of Michelles do you object to in the Vent?  Or is it that her vent exposes that the MSM is more apt to spread and disseminate lies to Millions of people to fulfil their own objective and to make money, regardless of what may be true?  Yes, O&#039;reily does also, as does Al Franken.  But do either of them reach more people then the MSM?</description>

		<description>It isn&#039;t so much WHO lies; as it is what position are they in - your lyin&#039; mom has neither the audience nor the exposure of a brokaw, a limbaguh, a couric, an oreilly, an olberman, or a vannity.

Omission is just as egregious as misrepresentation: presenting something false = preventing the presentation of true statements (by creative editing, &quot;potting down&quot;, shouting-over, topic-forcing/steering/jumping).</description>

I almost never watch o&#039;reilly.  But what, Vanya, does O&#039;reilly have to do with Michelles latest Vent?

You want to know the truth?
EVERYTHING you here on the TV, news, and the internet is someones Opinion.
Thats it.  Nothing to debate or argue.
Truth itself is subjective.  I see a marine carrying a dead girl and I think to myself &quot;He is torn apart that his actions didn&#039;t save her from the terrorist scum.&quot;  I see a man in pain and feeling that he failed her.
Another person probaly sees a murderous american savage showing off his evil handiwork.

Whats the truth? How the hell are you going to know it unless you watched it happen from the start?  Unless you lived the event?  Even then the &quot;truth&quot; of the subject is filtered out by the viewers own experiances.

But why am I typing?  Your 1st post showed the arrogance and ignorance that infuriates me about the people I used to talk to on the left.
You make an inane post about how O&#039;reilly lies. WTF does that have to do with the video footage in the montage?  O&#039;reilly lies, Bush lies, both Clintons lie, you lie, I lie, your mother lied, as did your father.  Mine too for that matter. But, just like Kerry, you come out and say &quot;What! look! over their! a Lier!!!&quot; And do not even address the &quot;lies&quot; you found in the montage.
Honestly, you found NO lies in the vent.  Instead you try to mitigate its message on the MSM lies by pointing to O&#039;reilly&#039;s lies.  And when called on it you tell us to &quot;google it&quot;
Well guesse what Sparky?  I don&#039;t have to google it.  Unlike some people who are staring at their Colon and think it is Nirvana, I fully understand that only a portion of what you see is truth.  The rest of the truth has to be pulled out kicking and screaming from the circumstances and envirement in which it is contained.</description>
