Conservative political commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are often portrayed as right-wing wackos, divisive, and dangerous to a healthy political atmosphere. One can even see this stereotype being advanced in the mainstream media when commentators like Limbaugh and Hannity are called "controversial" and asked to defend their positions by news reporters.

Conversely, liberal commentators like Keith Olberman and Al Franklin are never called "controversial" by the news media, nor are they ever brought onto news shows to defend their positions. Also, while Olberman is just as liberal as O'Reilly is conservative, Olberman is taken as a serious journalist while O'Reilly is often looked upon as a crazed-lunatic by the mainstream media.

Does anyone else see a double-standard like this, or is it just me?

I would appreciate serious replies from intelligent people only. No need to call me a neo-con or a Nazi, etc.

Mr Gates's comments came as a complete shock to me, as though a tonne of bricks had just landed on my head. I mean I had no idea, as I thought it was going swimmingly well. Mr Bush had already said that the operation was 'mission accomplished' and as a result I thought that the last few years was just tidying up. What went wrong? I always thought that I was quite knowledgeable in world affairs, my main source of information being Fox News, obviously I was wrong and the good Christian guys at Fox have obviously been given some incorrect information. I've been shook to my very core by this news, does anyone feel the same?

I was watching Bill Oreilly and he featured a segment in which an 8ish y/o girl was talking about faith and religion negetivly. But he didn't feature the address for reasons of morality. Kinda pissed me off, I understand his reasons but it's still shitty. I would like to see for myself what this girl said.

Anybody know the site?

What are the differences between the reporting of the BBC and CNN International? Which one is known to be more analytical? Do both practice censorship? Do both cut away from unsantized scenes while reporting the news? Do they both show the people they interview? How are they viewed in the U.S. in terms of all the characteristics mentioned above?

P.S. I have watched them both I find BBC to be quite daring in its reporting.

Why can't we do as we did in WWII, simply invade and occupy the whole country? See somebody with a gun -- shoot him. If Iran joins in, invade and occupy them, too. It's about time ALL of those crazy countries realize that America means business and, if necessaary, has the weapons that will take out the whole country in the blink of an eye. Why has America spent billions of dollars developing these weapons if we are afraid to use them????

...came back from visiting friends in Spain last Monday, and whilst in London - Streatham, no less - saw a Halal Middle-Eastern restaurant, decorated with fine Christmas tree along with admirable additions throughout the eaterie. Where are the right-wing dears when you need them?
Probably searching London hospitals for Russians with Delhi bellies.
