I have no idea about Eideard, but Guilherme looks to me like a form of William. In Spanish there is Guillermo, in Italian Guglielmo and so on.

So Welcome, Bill!

I’m having trouble finding one talking head anywhere that isn’t deserving of the label, “traitor.”

Fox sucks rotten eggs for all the lies they tell and promulgate and to a lesser extent, so do other media outlets since the age of the fairness doctrine went away and yellow journalistic sensationalist seeking owners got to do what they wanted but that doesn’t excuse inaccurate or incorrect claims such as this one.

What? You don’t watch them? Then you’re not qualified to judge them ARE YOU!!!

On the other hand, I agree with you that several rants I have seen were one sided, liberal, and biased. I recall the subjects were torture is bad, tax cuts aren’t the answer to every issue, and religion should not be substituted for science. What opposing view do you think should have been added to approach “the truth.”

Hmmmmmmm?

CNN presents balanced news coverage, but then they bog down with too many pundits who don’t know any other type of work than trying to explain something with a different twist than the jerk beside them.

MSNBC is similar to CNN only they use babes to present their news.

CNBC and FBC are keep flipping spots on the TV guide.

The Major TV News reports are all pretty good, although the best is FOX doesn’t have one.

Being able to handle more than one variable per issue? Recall your fire starting badge? You needed two sticks but then you had to rub real fast. That was TWO variables. Most issues have more than one variable.

Keep working. That sash looks good on you.

The other problem with the GOP is that they have been operating on the premise that if they pander the the elusive “independent voter”, they will win more votes. Occasionally commentators will say that to win the primaries a candidate must pander to the extremes — the extreme left for Democrats and the extreme right for Republicans — but that to win in the general election he must move back to the center. This tactic seems to work for Democrats. With the possible exception of Obama, when Democrats ran as liberals, they lost. When they ran as moderates, they won. However, the same cannot be said for Republicans. Republicans have historically lost elections when their nominees ran as moderates (ie. John McCain, Bob Dole). Ronald Reagan was the most conservative candidate in my lifetime and he won the biggest landslide in American political history.

’bout as real as Corbin Dallas.

An extreme right-winger has just one news station that is going to represent their views.

An extreme left-winger can pretty much be satisfied with the coverage from any of CNN, MSNBC, BBC… (More and more, the left wing zealots are going to end up at MSNBC though, because Olbie and Maddow are taking cues from the right-wing group on how to spoonfeed your base what it wants to hear.

As a result, FOX viewership is going to beat the others, and probably will for some time, regardless of who is President.

Now, I’ll be honest – my political bent is pretty sympathetic to Olberman and Maddow, but I actually watch FOX news almost as much (and prefer CNN to both). God forbid we challenge ourselves with someone else’s views. I’d watch them both more if they made an attempt at the truth instead of packaging neatly digestible morsels to one side or the other…

Blah, now I’m going to bed depressed.

The left side of the bell curve would be the lower 50%.

I think you meant “below the 75th percentile”.
