jimma carter & bill clinton were both southern baptists. Where is the outrage for their participation in such a narrow minded extremist religous organization?

"nbc & cbs & cnn were busted for actually fabricating stories, I don't remember Fox getting caught doing that."

I remember the same as you but then there is this:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pi...t=102&lb=brusc

It says that people who mostly watch Fox have the most misinformation - This report is one of the things libs typically cite as to why Fox is just a propaganda outlet for the Repubs.

Al Gore! Havent thought about him in a while. He is laying low saving the environment or something. Hey here is my favorite Al Gore joke:

Question "How can Al Gore help save the environment?"

Answer - "Quit changing the pole up his ass every day and just leave the same one in there."

Speaking of scrutiny, the press has looked deeper into Sarah Palin's life in the past 4 days, than they have into Obama's in the past 18 months. Bill Ayres? Oh, we don't have to actually investigate, it's just a smear. Tony Rezco? Oh, we don't have to actually investigate, it's just a smear.

Evidently, what's good for the goose, isn't good for the gander.

I dont know Beez. I think it is more a case of the press having a limited attention span. They can only think about things that are shiny and new - which is why any candidate's best strategy is simply to stick it out. That is why I think Palin's first press conference is so important. She will need to give answers to all the questions that are asked and not sound evasive or like she is peddling BS. If she can do that (and of course I hope she cant) then the press will move on to other stories as they did with Obama. If she can't then it is going to be a very long two months.

You hit on something important when you said she isnt trying to impress me. You are dead right. She was picked to impress the Repub base and seems to have done pretty well doing that. How she flies with the people in the middle will determine whether she is a net plus in the general election or not, but she is clearly a hit with the faithful in Minneapolis (or is it St. PauL?)

Here I am, all confused again. Scratching my head, trying to figure out why a misperception is anything like a fabrication. Once again, the attempt at relativism, is beyond absurd.

First of all, they did not say misinformation, they said misperception. There is a difference (which I'll probably end up have to explain, sigh). To try to compare a misperception, to a deliberate fabrication, is a leap of logic that defies explaination.

Here is the common element - In both cases the audience is left believing something that isnt true.
