    Yup - if we could get past the left-wing/right-wing stuff...

    This is pure, documented fact. I challenge anyone to debunk the evidence presented in Olbermann's report.
    Yeah, same here.

    i do not know how presenting facts can be termed bashing anyone. the facts in the 9/11 commission speak for themselves, bush fucked up. he did nothing with the information presented to him. his cabinet was too busy to meet with clarke, most of them on vacation.

    This constant whining from cons about incessant bush-bashing and the liberal media bias is so fucking hilarious. Keep it up girls!

    Ok - here's the thing people don't seem to get...

    This Olbermann report = pure journalism! He presents facts and backs them up with evidence.

    Say what you want about his perceived political leanings, but there is nothing factually incorrect in that report...

    Anticipated reply: But why does he even bring it up? It's old news and the fact that he brings it up shows that he has a bias and he loves bashing bush!!!!!!

    Reason: Because some people seem to have amnesia re: how this administration dealt with things prior to 9/11.

    Thank you. Fuckin a, kat lock this up.

    everyone just flips out and doesnt actually read/listen to what he said. Wouldnt any of this anger you if the man you supported is so full of shit? is he the only one? no.

    But they are fucking FACTS. You can argue political leanings all you want if it makes you feel better about ignoring this.

    I'm pretty sure the point was that radio is primarily conservative; not that the left doesn't have a voice.

    Newsflash: No one wants listens to Air America. It's hemorrhaging cash. The only reason it is afloat is because one or two rich liberals keep funding it. Its not that radio is conservative, it is that America is conservative. Unfortunately our conservative leaders are idiots.

    It's not that America is conservative, it's that Americans are sheep. America has become much more conservative since these shows came on the air. We're a nation of followers, not thinkers.

    And before some of you get your knickers all in a twist, I am NOT saying that EVERY conservative is a brainwashed dittohead. I don't think that most of the conservatives on this board are (although there are a couple). Most of the people debating here have some grasp on the issues, but that can't be said of many Americans. I can't even count the number of times I've tried to have a conversation with someone and they keep coming back at me with whatever Rush or Sean or Bill said yesterday, often repeating it word for word!

    ok we can disagree. but why the public outcry from the clinton/fox news thing? I really dont see any station except Fox and maybe some select individuals saying anything negative about liberals. but on the contrary its very excepted and encouraged to bash bush anytime. people like Oberlman make a living doing it.

    please keep in mind i'm not taking sides. I just want a fair playing field.

    becos it is pointless. saying "bill clinton didnt do a great job" is irrelevant now becos bill clinton is no longer in office. where is fox's "objective" evaluation of bush's national defense tactics? my problem is that i think bush is doing a TERRIBLE job of keeping us safe. but fox will not turn a critical eye on bush's shortcomings in this department. they just dredge up stuff from a decade ago and say "well maybe bush is doing a terrible job, but so did clinton so bush sucking is ok."

    we should be focusin on how to make our country safe and trying to decide if current policies are doing that, not excusing our shite policies now by talking about what happend 10 years ago as MAYBE being even more shitty.
