Not mine.

But the teachers in Ohio are protesting too! Are they teaching your kids?

I'm not in OH these days. And we homeschool.

Ohio is better off. But I do feel for your poor kids.

I think Torch would probably be a pretty good teacher, he's well informed, and well educated. Ew, I can't believe I just said BG was a good school.

I'm a terrible teacher. There's a difference between understanding strategy and executing it w/ effective techniques. I don't have the techniques and it doesn't suit my personality.

Coaching? That feels different for me. I really enjoyed coaching this past year. Even now I'm angling to see if there's a way to do that back in OH.

Don't do it!!!! Go west! Go west!

That's very true, understanding and effective implimentation are two totally different things. I'm wonderful with kids, because I know how to handle them. But I was the "life school of hard-knocks" kid growing up, and I was always the evil child. So, I got to learn that way... I know my kid is gonna me akin to the anti-christ with the way I was. HA, but, parenting basically is teaching...just different approaches to it.

A tea party guy at work says that they were probably plastic plam trees and that it could have been in Wisconsin. True story.

You keep watching!

We have websites like Newshounds or Media Matters that "Watch fox so you don't have to" It has been blocked in my home for many years, but I still monitor the propaganda

Yeah...I love newshounds!

And Huffpo, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report keep them in check as well.

Really? They're talking about professional protesters. People being bussed in. Out of towner's. The video clearly says "Union Protests" plural, on it. They never, at any time, claimed or inferred this was WI.

Context people, context.

Just read an update talkingpointsmemo posted at the bottom of their article linking to mediaite. Read it fools.

Why don't you clowns take fox off block and actually watch instead of relying on hack websites to lie to you? I mean, this is your point right, you don't want to be lied to?

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/no-fox-news-d...est-video/

Already read it "fool"

And nope, I won't be unblocking them anytime soon...although the decision to pull Santorum and Newt gives me a glimmer of hope. Maybe after they block Huckabee and Palin, et. al. I MIGHT come back....and if they drop the ridiculous "Fair and Balanced" crap.

But it's really a medical thing. I have high blood pressure and watching Faux "News" is not good for my health!

Why? His kids will grow up educated and with the idea that anything they want to accomplish can be accomplished with hard work and that the government isn't their to provide them with everything they need. In other words, he's raising citizens while you loons are raising subjects.

If you prefer someone clipping and editing for you and believing it's proof that someone else isn't fair and balanced...

HAH!!! Now that's funny...like when Billow complains about other people being partisan.

But I think you are confusing my sources with Faux "News". And trust me, they don't have to clip or edit anything. The partisan lean, on screen graphic gaffes, and deceptive footage just speak volumes all by themselves! They just show them...but hey, keep thinking you are getting all the facts.

Lastly, your missing the point that they're not pretending to be something so easily shown to not be the case.

Your video clip doesn't show what talkingpointsmemo has told you to believe. But you conscientiously chose to go with their lie over your own eyes and ears. You let them and others do your thinking for you. Your brain is being wasted.

The disease of liberalism on full display.

Did Rush teach you that? He was probably in a drug induced stupor at the time

C'mon Paul...get real. I totally saw the note on the screen about "Union Protests" and it is highly likely that Billow had no control over this part of the production.

That being said, if you don't think Faux "News" wants to portray all unions and union members as "thugs" than you are the diseased one.

And how many times to we have to show you these continual fox errors before you will honestly admit that they have a problem playing loose with the facts?

If they want to portray all unions and union members as "thugs", then they need to stop constantly saying the complete opposite. Since you don't watch, you don't know this. They constantly go on about how union members are good, hard working people who just want to keep what has been promised. They do have guests and commentators who believe they should pay a fair share of their own benefits. They also have guests who believe they should continue getting away with the rape of tax payers. FOX does have a problem with union bosses as should everyone including their own members.

Still waiting for any real errors. This one had no errors and the one from a couple of weeks ago was just a minor mistake that they corrected on air.

Do they make mistakes? Sure. Whoop--Dee--do.

Are some of their people over the top at times? Yes.

If you prefer your news from a leftest perspective with no opposing opinion, fine. I prefer mine with a rightward lean with an equal share of guests with an opportunity to try and change my mind. I like hearing from both sides.

In the end, the problem people have with fox is they only want their own liberal views expressed. Fox's big sin is being tolerant to open debate. Your free to live in your little intolerant world.

Fine, but then don't tell me that newshounds, huffpo and media matters edits clips to fit an agenda.

And to be clear, I'm not referring to the actual news programs that fox airs. I'm referring to the shows like Beck, Hannity, Orally, Cavuto and those three idiots in the morning. I actually like most of the stuff I see from Shep Smith.

Shep Smith is as good as Faux News gets.

As I've said before, all you're going to get from any US news outlet is their side of hte story. What they report is probably true, at least within some narrowly limited definition of truth. But you're not going to get the whole truth. You can get half the truth from Fox, and the other half of the truth from just about any other outlet--CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR, NYT, Washington Post. You need both sides to get the whole truth.

Then you have to sort out what part of the truth you got from each. That's one reason why I like BBC. Their perspective is pretty far left, but at least it's different from anything you get here, and that helps with the sorting out process.

I wouldn't automatically reject as untrue anything that I got from Fox or Rush or Maddow or Couric. But I do know that I'm not getting the complete story from ANY of them. And it's the parts that they are omitting that are the problem. But between them all, I'm pretty sure that the whole picture gets painted. It's just knowing who has what parts.
