Germs Heading South

I was listening to O'Reilly and Bernie Goldberg the other night, folks (forgot the date), and, yeah, all I could do was scratch my head. News Flash - they're still nuts!! I mean, sure, they do from time to time put forth some decent analysis (the mainstrem media seemingly favoring Obama, etc.)....and are even amusing on occasion. But the hyperbole, though - damned if that doesn't ruin it even more consistently ("they're ALL cheer-leading for Obama", "they're ALL in the tank for the Senator", "they're ALL taking it up the poop-shoot for Obama", whatever!). At least it does for me...................................................And, of course, they're still maintaining that mantra of theirs that the Fox News Network is fair and balanced. Their current emphasis is that Fox has just as many liberals on the air as they do conservatives; equal representation, yada-yada...............................................I mean, talk about deceptive, huh? First of all, I don't think that it's necessarily true. And even if it were, it's the conservatives who always get the top-billing/their own shows; "Hannity's America" (Sean Hannity), "Fox and Friends" (all conservatives), "The O'Reilly Factor" (Bill O'Reilly), "Huckabee" (Mike Huckabee), "Your World" and "Cavuto on Business" (Neil Cavuto), "Special Report" (Brit Hume). Even Laura Ingraham and Paul Gigot have landed gigs, apparently....................................................And like I've said many times before, the liberals that they do get are almost always ineffectual. They're either off-the-charts lunatics like that Temple professor/human pinata of theirs, or they're frigging moderates/easily co-opted talking-heads like Juan Williams or Mort Kondracke. It's not exactly fair and balanced, in other words.................................................Of course, the most damning evidence of all is the fact that these liberals are always on the defensive. And if you don't believe me, folks, just watch one of these shows of theirs. I swear to God, practically every single one of their stories is something that makes the Democrats look bad (to which, of course, they have to defend themselves). There's practically no dirt-digging on the Republicans at all................................................Bottom-line, folks, O'Reilly and Goldberg are flat-out full of crap. At least they are on this issue. And, no, the fact that MSNBC and the New York Times are just as bad in the other direction - that doesn't mitigate it, either. If you say you're fair and balanced, then you sure as hell better be that - period, end of discussion.
