John Deering for October 24, 2009

Charlie Brown, what a blockhead.

I guess Deering forgot that Fox egged the house before going to the door. Amazing how Fox supporters so easily forget the facts.

Faux has been putting that burning bag on the porch for a long time, and finally stepped on it themselves- let their supporters wipe their feet and kiss their poor upset little foreheads. What a bunch of whiners!

slightly confused as usual scotty Bush didnt take questions from Helen Thomas because she asked tough questions and Dana Parino admited they didn’t take questions from msnbc as they were persona non grata

so to say “none of that ever happened” with the Bush administration would of course be incorrect.

And a very well deserved rock, at that!!!

I’m not a FOX supporter, I hope the rock is tasty, and Helen Thomas is one of the finest journalists to ever grace the White House press corps.

Lol, good one ^^

Bueller - good ‘toon. Ignore scott. He’s escalated from personal anecdotes with surreal and paranoid theories to delusions of godhood, that apparently Jesus sent him to harass people on the GoComics board. Go figure. Maybe Jesus is keeping him busy.

motivemagus, you really don’t think it can happen here, do you?

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

Martin Niemöller

nomad are you equating negative comments about Fox with the Nazi regime?

nomad, don’t be silly. Bush was the one who eliminated our right to privacy and introduced the Patriot Act. Why don’t you go after him?

Negative comments cdward? No, this is not just about the Nazi regime although that is the one that Martin Niemöller struggled against and suffered under. The Obama administration is singling out, attacking and, attempting to sensor a major media outlet just for telling an opposing view. These are the traits of Tyranny. What if the Bush administration had shut down the press corps and allowed access to Fox News alone. I can only imagine the fevered pitch of the leftist caterwauling.

Right to privacy motivemagus? Has Roe v. Wade been repealed? You want to talk about the right to privacy? Why is it the governments business how much or little my annual income is? Want to know how much the Patriot Act effected my life - a big fat ZERO. I sincerely doubt that you had any “men in black” posted across the street from your residence either.

I watch all of the cable news channels at various times. Seems to me there is a big tendency for people to only tune in to what they want to hear. In other words, we seem to all suffer from , as Baron Von Trapp said in “the Sound of Music”, ” An incredible lack of curiosity”.

I’ve mentioned before that i’m not a fan of FOX. I do watch it, though, from time to time - MSNBC, also. But both of them tend to focus mainly on certain aspects of news and they are both selective, probably to varying degrees.One has a conservative agenda, the other a liberal agenda. And I won’t muddy the water by trying to address whether these agendas even represent “true ” conservatism or liberalism as they tend to be presented on FOX and MSNBC. I don’t know if Obama is doing himself any favors by shutting out FOX. He’s probably just giving his opponents ammunition. After all, Bush gave Bob Woodward pretty good access, and in the end, when it was all said and done, what did it really cost him? I think that the point at which a president’s numbers start to go down is when his supporters - the folks who became caught up in his message at some point and voted for him, start to become disillusioned when the real person they voted for comes into focus, and starts to edge out the “image” they voted for. We tend to project a lot of hopes and wishful thinking on our candidates.At some point, reality steps in ( like we saw in the case of , ahem, candidate Fred Thompson.) So … the damage to presidents and presidential candidates is, by far, of the self-inflicted variety. But you can’t run in the first place with an ego that’s normal enough that you’d ever believe that. And I think that is why presidents will continue to see the “media”, objective or not, as the enemy.

Well stated bueller.

ReasonsVentriloquist, ouch. Do the Geneva Conventions mention a rule against that kind of PUN ishment??

nomad, I’m afraid you do not understand the meaning of “censor” (I’m assuming that’s what you meant by sensor):

To censor means to examine material before it is released to determine whether it is acceptable or not, and to officially suppress that parts that are not acceptable. To refuse to allow a news outlet access or to refuse to be interviewed by a particular news outlet is not censorship.

Puns are an art form to me. I always enjoy them, many thanks. ;-)
