I have been watching Glen Beck lately and have started doing my own research on some of the people he has spoken of. I think it is time for all Americans to start asking who some of these people are, and wonder why no other news, including CNN is not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-54182698821503482992009-10-12T13:27:22.725-07:002009-10-12T13:27:22.725-07:00There's a lot of rhetoric in that last comment...There's a lot of rhetoric in that last comment and no examples. Anyone can say what you just said but unless you show an example it means nothing. <br /><br />If you are going to accuse fox of something, show an example. Don't just give me rhetoric. Anyone can do that.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-16708336605054016272009-10-12T12:46:33.116-07:002009-10-12T12:46:33.116-07:00"The White House acts as though they don'..."The White House acts as though they don't get a fair shake from Fox News mostly because Fox News dares to challenge them."<br /><br />I'd like to expand on that thought. Its not that Fox News challenges them, its that Fox News challenges them in a way that no other news organization has challenged a White House since Woodward and Bernstein. Fox News has hosted its own Tea Parties, they have dubbed themselves the voice of the opposition.<br /><br />The White House is no doubt the biggest entity in the political arena, but they're not the only ones. The Republicans have been leveling some pretty intense allegations against the White House and the Democratic Party as of late. Don't you think a truly balanced media organization would challenge those as well? Instead, it seems more like Fox adopts and perpetuates them as if one would have to be mentally ill not to believe them.<br /><br />In the end, I'm sure some business and ratings stuff gets in there where Fox thinks it can make a buck appealing to conservatives and MSNBC thinks it can make a buck cozying up to the White House and styling itself as the "voice of the opposition to Fox News."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-88890684675440644082009-10-12T11:28:45.349-07:002009-10-12T11:28:45.349-07:00I'm not sure how you could know that and I don...I'm not sure how you could know that and I don't deal in hypotheticals. I always found that analysis interesting and correct since they do get good media coverage. The point that the person was making was that you shouldn't assume a confrontational relationship. Treat the media the way you would any business partner, with respect, care, and professionalism, and you'll will see benefits.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-75553502455364491332009-10-12T11:21:42.068-07:002009-10-12T11:21:42.068-07:00Can I tell you something?

When they become a threat to the Cook County Democratic Organization, the press will stop treating them nicely.section9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08956773307014115891noreply@blogger.com
