They tend to fan the flames of racism when the climate is right. Thier eagerness to see racial violence erupt after last year's Zimmerman trial didnt go their way was all too evident.


I really doubt racism needs to exist with the media fanning it's flames, as it's been burning just fine on it's own - not burning nearly as brightly as once, but still burning.
And incidentally, Zimmerman just lost his lawsuit against NBC while using that exact same argument that they had defamed him for racial reasons.

Down to a flicker of what it once was and going in both directions.

So what? It was never about Zimmerman as an individual but due process over trial via media /mob justice. The record will forever show that your side favored the latter.....

I've never watched Faux news so I have no idea of the blond ratio.It seems funny to me,the tv news I watch is local and it's from a predominately white area,and yet it has a Black reporter,a Filipina,Middle Eastern woman,who is drop dead gorgeous,and now a full force geek complete with nerd glasses.

I sincerely wish it was only down to a flicker, but that's just not the case.

You'd better hope so! Otherwise that's a lot of democrat votes gone out the window. 8O
No comment on the Zimmerman charge, eh? :D
Hmmm......

I was more interested in addressing the flicker issue than in that trigger happy scaredy cat. As long as Republicans support big business and the super wealthy against the interest of the 99%, and ignore the distress of racial minorities, LGBT people, women, working people, etc, there will always be a need for the Democratic party.

Gee, that took some deep thought. :roll:


If only it was that easy. Because Fox promotes such an aggressive social/political agenda in order to change the country rather than just reporting the news, we on the other side of the aisle ignore them at our own peril.


CNN and the other two liberal news media are just as guilty but in the other direction. they lie, jump to conclusions before evidence is out, they are propaganda networks. Why shouldn't the right have one of it's own. the left has 3.

none of the big news networks/newspapers/magazines/websites just report the news. They all twist it to meet their agenda then put it out.

CNN is maybe a bunch of bunk, but MSNBC, particularly Maddow and ODonnell are tow of the most credible and intelligent people in news. I seldom, if ever, see them(MSNBC) outright lie. They make mistakes, and admit their mistakes. Fox outright lies. They have been caught at it multiple times.

Examples of how CNN allegedly slants the truth.

You should know by now that talking smack about Zimmerman means little to nothing to me since my point was about due process of law, something you and a few others of your stripe have demonstrated yourselves to be selective about....

The democratic party cares about the democratic party and YOUR vote, not you, minorities,LGBT people, women, and working people. If it makes you feel any better I don't believe the republican party cares about any of the above or me or anyone else but I don't expect them to. Unlike yourself, I refuse to be so blindly enamored of any political party. No one can or should do a better job of caring about me than me.

Oh, no, I'm not blindly enamored by the Democratic party, but admittedly it might seem so because I know all too well that the Republicans, if anything, are working so completely against my interests. I would maybe support another party such as the socialist Workers party, as I think they would actually care more about me than the Democrats do, but the socialists don't have a snow ball's chance in hell of winning an election.

Ha ha ha (gasp for air) NSDAP! Ha ha ha :P
No.
More like the Social Democrats - Germany's, and indeed Europe's first socialist party - who the Nazis closed down once taking power. Many of them preceded the Jews to concentration camps.
