    you have some evidence there is any more than the rarest cable outlet that carries Fox and doesn't carry CNN?

    I kinda dout there is one at all but if they are they are damned rare.

    In the most rural areas where people still live, satellite or an antennae are about the only two choices. None of the 24/7 nationals broadcast out over UHF/VHF, so the antennae crowd is out. Would you like to show me where DirectTV or DishNetwork only allow Fox News?

    Or, just for the sake of argument, did you mean to talk about local Fox affiliates?

    It was just a chance for the liberal (non-elitist (/chuckle)) to call country folks ignorant. And they wonder why they can't shake the elitist label.

    So you think Gayle's assessment is accurate? Hell, even McCain told her she was wrong. I think I see the problem here...

    In other words, there are numerous things you simply do not have the intellect to follow and comprehend. I'm sorry actormike. The education you got must not have been what you paid for huh? :unsure:

    It's one of his special memes. It's how he remembers who he's talking to. Like when he calls Pardot "Liet" and Aurora "Cass." And effective yesterday, every one of his posts to 14th Doctor will be some smarmy comment about how he failed his driving test.

    So from now on, every post to you will have the words "rent control" in it.

    Wow, Margaret is such an expert on everyone else and their posting habits. It is shame she doesn't have a clue on much of anything else especially the majority of the topics discussed here.

    So Margaret, did Jack Donner have to help you figure out all the dynamics and personalities here, or did you figure them out all on your own this time?

    It all just makes KIRK look stupid and childish, but since we all already knew him to be stupid and childish, it's really just all sort of pathetic, the kind of thing to make one wonder how KIRK manages to type and breathe at the same time.

    So Obama is whining because there's all of ONE major network asking the tough questions? Reminds me of the story of how he couldn't win his state senate seat without having all his opponents' names pulled from the ballot.Does everything have to be spoon fed to this guy or what? Oh I forgot, he's a liberal.

    You guys would interpret anything except stone silence as "whining." If he were silent, you'd start interpreting his facial expressions. :rolleyes:

    First forgive me for quoting Couric, sometimes used as a measurement of fecal mass.

    So, my reason for posting this quote in this thread-

    Seems to me that Obama wasn't so much bitching about unfair treatment at the hand of Fox, as it's his way to curry favor with the Cassandra/Liet mentality of lapdogs.

    Imo Obama has the false, forced, charisma in contrast to the natural style of a Bill Clinton. So he can't pick a favorite movie without trying to cover all his bases with potential supporters.

    It explains why he was a such a whore while descending and ascending into a successful run through Chicago politics, with multiple examples of suspect backers or mentors.

    It's a shame that so many people have bought into Obama, that it really can't be considered a "false" charisma because, by definition, it's worked, a fair chunk of the US have fallen into admiration. Can they really all be delusional? I'm sure a few are more motivated by "not McCain", (like me, I'm an anti-obama guy) but good god!

    It's cool that you guys call people out on bullshit. [You and 'wood, in this instance.]

    I just assume it's mostly bullshit and that most everyone's a liar, even the people you think you can trust, and just move on.

    There's little chance that Fox cable news channel has 100% market share in any market greater than 5 people. But marathon's credibility extends just to matters regarding statistics, and very clever quips.

    Cool that you guys call 'em out.

    Is that "calling out"?

    I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for evidence of a claim that seems unrealistic. :shrug:

    It's not unrealistic.

    It's a flat out lie. You don't even need evidence to know it's false.

    He knows he fibbed on that one.

    It's just his way of slandering a group of people without having to come out and say it in the open.

    Hear that latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberals? Senator Obama is no fan of your lifestyle. You need to chug your latte like a man, stop reading the New York Times, trade in the Volvo for an Escalade, buy a gun, take some Viagra, drop that PC bullshit and have a little humble pie you freak.
