CE9

[pissin2]

Galactus watches FOX.

I mean how else would he know where all the good plantes worth eating are located?

[pissin2]

I mean planets. Planets.

[pissin2]

I always screw up typing the word "planets" for some reason. I just did it right there again, but I fixed it.

[pissin2]

What the hell is a plante anyway?

[pissin2]

Is it even a word?

[strat-0]

Pissin: cease with the comics. Nobody likes it. If you keep making me delete them, I will have to take other action.

[pissin2]

Maybe I just want some planters nuts

Mmmmmmmmm nuts....

[ken]

I like it, strat-0. Besides, there is another CE board now, where the non-comic stuff goes.

[JACkory]

OTHER ACTION! OTHER ACTION!
YEAH, BABY!
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT!

[JACkory]

Oh but wait...kMc likes it.
Better hold off, strat-0.

I can understand why people see Fox as a conservative network. I can without question see why they view Sinclair stations as conservative as well. I can totally see the conservative slant to the Wall Street Journal and Washington Times as well. What I DON'T understand is how so many of the same people who jump to call each of these conservative look at CNN, the New York Times, or PBS and say "They aren't liberal". They either all have a slant or they don't. THere's no conservative bias with a total absence of the equivilent on the liberal side.

Because it depends not only on the general viewpoint of the station but also on the general viewpoint of the viewer. There is no absolute, objective dividing point between "left" and "right" - it is all relative to things like your historical moment and your place of residence, etc etc. I can understand why CNN might seem "liberal" to someone who is an American right-winger - but I can't imagine it seems particularly "liberal" to Ralph Nader, and it certainly has never struck me as liberal. Keep in mind I think most Democrats are moderate conservatives, and I think, outside of a few marginalized and borderline invisible pockets of activism, there's virtually no left wing to speak of in America.

That's just a short answer. The fact that CNN seems liberal to anybody just tells me how far to the right this counry's entirely ideological spectrum is shifted.

Mary, I agree with you more than I disagree with you here. And I can completely understand where a person who comes from your political perspective would look at any of those sources of news (from Fox to CNN) and think they're too far to the right. Which pretty much goes to the point that you notice what goes against your beliefs more so than you notice what agrees with you when it comes to bias. But hell, it's all a matter of where you stand. My father is so far to the conservative side that he looks at something like Fox News or Rush Limbaugh and laments that they're too liberal, that they agree with George W Bush too much of the time, and they're left leaning.

But when it comes to your average American who votes with the Democrats more often than not, and screams that Fox News is a conservative mouth piece ... I just find it rather silly that they get mad at conservatives who won't acknowledge that, without giving any consideration at all to their doing it themselves. I'm not talking about people such as you or Ralph Nader here. I"m talking about democrats.

DED ... one last time, the point I was making is this. A person who labels Fox as conservative because they're pro-America, but gets angry when people imply that it's conservatives who are patriotic makes no sense to me. If being pro-American does not have a political leaning (and I don't think it does) then how could being pro-American indicate your political beliefs? It's not a "this is right and this is wrong" proposition. It's simply an observation. Many of the same people who get angry that "Republicans claim to be the only ones who love this country" then label those who love the country as Republicans. They're getting mad at people for doing what they're doing.

BMI reports that actress/singer Kate Nauta ("The Transporter 2") is up for a role in X-Men 3, as a "sexy mutant who secretes a special pheromone to seduce men."

Also, the Calgary Sun says Canadian country singer Beverley Mahood has a small role in the third installment.

Ken, who do you think this sexy mutant is?
