Chuck Asay sifts the events of the day through his biblical worldview and tries to persuade readers to see things his way...that rights are given by a higher authority than the governments of men, that mankind is not the ultimate arbiter of truth and that our Constitutional Republic is worth protecting. Chuck believes ideas, not politicians rule the world. He tries to protect ideas which he thinks are good and attacks ideas he thinks bring harm.

Par for the course.

What do you expect? Since the liberal media is firmly under their control?

No one knew where the president was for eight hours at night. I’ll give you a clue – he was having dinner, he went to the bathroom, he read some policy issues, he talked to his family, he went to bed for some badly needed sleep. Among many other things going on there was campaigning to do.

Feel better now?

Quit with the stupid obsessing and innuendo and get on with something productive.

@zoidnight, there is NO liberal media. All media in the usa are firmly in the clutches of the far “right” megacorporations. This means all media, TV/radio, print, recorded music with subliminal “right” wing words, movies, all of it.

With the exception of Fox News, most broadcast media don’t care about the slant of a story and report what they think will sell ads to their audience.

That must be why members of the media have voted so overwhelmingly Democratic over the years. They are SO firmly in the clutches of the far right.

Schultz and Maddow are commentators, just as O’Reilly and Limbaugh. I don’t look to any of them for straight news.

True
Watched fox cable yesterday got to see a panel of rubes take 5-10 sec cuts of the presidents latest speech and twist it with BS rhetoric into a blame game!

We all saw these rhetorical exhibitions of clueless reporting and you and the rest if the faux noise bus bunny’s are still spout it as truth in your feeble rationalizations!

According to the standards at media matters, you just framed a conspiracy theory.
No, really.

You want your president to be innocent so badly that you make up a harmless little scenario. Touching.

If it weren’t for Fox News, we’d all still believe Benghazi was the result of a video.

The Fourth Estate
Our government is suppose to work within a system of checks a balances. Added to that is the “press” (which Eddie Burke so long ago called the fourth estate) which is there to inform the public and keep the government honest.
So is this what you hunger to know? News about a golf game with Woods? How does that game influence foreign policy? How does that game reflect on national security?
And yet the fiasco that is Benghazi does both and you say “nothing to see here, let’s move along”.
All right my liberal brothers, at what point do you draw the line? Is abdicating responsibility for the screw up in Libya and telling your reports to “do what you need to do” when the only person that legally has the authority to approve an incursion into Libya to mount a rescue (which could have been done) is the President not worth asking about?
Remember that question way back when. Who do you want answering the phone at 3AM? Well, do you think just maybe Benghazi was such an incident that would qualify for the CEO of the Armed Forces of the USA to be contacted about?
Oh that’s right, a motel break in to gather intelligence on a political rival is worthy of impeachment BUT allowing an Ambassador to die conducting God knows what covert operation with only 2 guards in a foreign country known to be hostile to America and then trying to cover it all up with a blatant lie concerning some half baked video that no one saw in Libya is nothing to be concerned about.
Centuries ago Homer observed:
“A councilor ought not to sleep the whole night through, a man to whom the populace is entrusted, and who has many responsibilities.”
Here lies the path to destruction.

And the families of the four men who were murdered because the Stat Dept. did not provide adequate security for an Ambassador in an unfriendly country.

@TimeWeaver
What is Fox’s “agenda” ?
Give some examples of how they “pander to its audience.”
This sounds complicated. I’d like to see some evidence that this happens.
Is “pandering” a bad thing?
Do you think other news networks “pander” to get a specific audience? After watching CNN for a week or so, it appears they are “pandering” to the low information voter with airing more celebrity type “news.”
.
I’m really interested in the “regardless of facts” part of your comment also. Can you give examples where Fox lied or changed “facts” ?
