yes, yes it is

always love it when news organizations treat conspiracy theories as anything other than a conspiracy theory

10/5/2012 1:21:57 PM

God damn it just feeds ignorance. It's the same god damn number it was under Bush, Clinton, HW Bush, etc. I still internally debate which is worse between FNC and MSNBC but considering the hordes of people who watch FNC it's gotta be that.

10/5/2012 1:27:19 PM

I really wish we could just hit some sort of a reset button and do away with 24 hour news channels

it's only going to get worse and the people who are already sucked into the bubble will probably never bother to get out

the reaffirming of fucked up world views is the absolute worst

10/5/2012 1:40:22 PM

I just wish a better unemployment estimate was used instead of trying to fool people into thinking unemployment isn't that bad. What's the real unemployment now? 15% or so?

Also, the restaurant where I ate last night had FNC on and they were showing a split screen of Osama and Obama... god I wish there had been volume so I could know what kind of bullshit they were talking.

Oh look, how sweet.

The most endearing part of every liberal's psyche.

The desire to educate the poor seething masses and force them to do something else because their current habits are bad for them.

Cigarettes, fatty foods, soft drinks, and now cable news.

Because every real American should turn off the idiot box and log in to http://www.georgebushruinedtheworld.granola.net for an accurate worldview.

10/5/2012 1:51:49 PM

uh, liberals aren't trying to get rid of cable news

a few are just pointing out how ridiculous it is

also

you are dumb

10/5/2012 1:53:42 PM

People can do whatever the fuck they want, contrary to popular belief here, and it's a disgusting display of arrogance by a few of you to claim to know any better.

Why does it make you so mad? It's not your life.

If they want to end up like Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo then more power to them.

It only makes you look like assholes to correct them.

What the hell are you talking about? If someone wants to feed their ignorance by watching Fox News or MSNBC then by all means they are free to do it. But I'll continue calling them hacky idiots and bash the networks.

10/5/2012 2:04:13 PM

No, thegoodlife wants to "fix" them.

10/5/2012 2:07:01 PM

Regardless of Fox, I don't believe the Jobless rate tells the full story.

There are a million and one ways to skew this number and still be pseudo-correct.


Statistics can be skewed to whichever way someone wants to present them

10/5/2012 2:11:50 PM

I never proposed "fixing" anybody

I just think they're extremely unhealthy

10/5/2012 2:13:14 PM

Well maybe they think you're a "faggot" or some pinko-commie / asshole.

Should they waste their time talking about you on a messageboard?

Or should they watch Wrestlemania?

10/5/2012 2:15:26 PM

this is why you are supposed to take statistics in college, so you don't end up like mind-washed dumb fucks

it didn't work

10/5/2012 2:17:29 PM

Murica!

^ those polls were Rasmussen which has been R leaning to the consensus so far. But nonetheless good for Romney. Of course jobs number isn't captured in it.

More power to them? I mean, people should have the right to do whatever the fuck they want. But I think that more and better education would lead people to not want to end up like that. Is it okay to wish that american society valued education more, in general? Or is that a "disgusting display of arrogance"?

so Fox is now outright accusing the administration of manipulating the numbers

awesome

10/5/2012 5:12:47 PM

I bet that once the final numbers with revision comes out in a couple of months it will be revised down to over 8% again.

I've yet to see an initial unemployment report get revised to a better number.

10/5/2012 5:24:30 PM

^^Are you trolling? July and August jobs figures were revised upward by 86,000 in this report. BLS has also estimated that 386,000 more jobs were created between April 2011 and March 2012 than originally reported.

Also, I like Fox News. There really is no better source of entertainment to turn to when good news for Obama happens.

the number of people who get their news from cable TV is dropping at a pretty staggering rate. I think most 18-34 year olds get their news from the internet, now, if that's any consolation (although the internet has some of the same issues i.e. one genius type boy.) But cable news is suffering because a lot of people just don't trust it anymore, and for good reason.

10/5/2012 7:02:25 PM

Is the Internet any better? You can find someone who agrees with you regardless if how ridiculous you are.

I agree. I think MSNBC is more over the top in their vitriol, as it's isolated now more to Hannity and his ilk since Beck is gone, BUT, the viewership of Fox is so much greater that their evangelical lunatics influence more people than the far left nutjobs on MSNBC.

10/6/2012 9:29:28 PM

O'Reilly? Piers Morgan? You've got to be crazy if you don't think all of Fox News is completely in the tank for the Republicans. MSNBC is the same for the Democrats.

10/7/2012 12:10:36 AM

10/7/2012 12:52:47 AM

MSNBC is definitely sided with the Dems, but they're not nearly as divorced from reality as Fox.

10/7/2012 10:59:26 AM

Does MSNBC still devote three hours of their mornings to a show hosted by a former Republican Congressman who has no trouble showing his conservative bias on the air?

Yeah, as long as he has a show you really can't put MSNBC anywhere near the same category as Fox News.

10/7/2012 11:07:36 AM

One morning show does not exempt the rest of programming. If you're a Democrat and you can't see how similar MSNBC is to Fox News then you're no better than the Republicans who tune in to Fox.

10/7/2012 12:34:57 PM

does fox still have a token liberal anymore? Or has it moved so right their token "liberal" is Bill Oreilly?

yep. i read somewhere that last year was the first time in the history of television that tv ownership actually decreased. internet, baby.

the people who report the news are liberals, and the people/organizations who employ them are conservative...the true media bias is towards the sensational, to the simple, to whatever attracts the most eyes thus allowing them to reap the highest advertising dollars.

do either MSNBC or Fox News (or CNN) talk about NDAA? has any television news outlet much covered the Stanford/NYU report that says we're killing 50 civilians for every 1 "terrorist" with our drone attacks in Pakistan?

if you haven't, watch Network (again)
if you haven't, watch/read Manufacturing Consent (again)
