Not really. The cop out is, "Yeah, we were bad then, but we're not now (at least not where we'll honestly admit to it). We didn't commit any acts of barbarism last Thursday between noon and 4:45 PM and they did, so there. It's them who are bad now." There have been times throughout history where...

It's just another example of using religion as a means of attaining power and control. But the common thread seems obvious... It's aristotle. :D

Perhaps a minor point, perhaps not, but while those exact words are not used, they don't need to be. Any right you have, you also have the right to the exact opposite. The right to keep and bear arms for example, means you cannot be compelled to keep and bear arms, because you have the right not...

In a cargo van your gonna sit most weekends. Any weekend load you get consider it a bonus. Anywhere west of the Mississippi you can easily sit for 5 days or longer. A different carrier won't change that. One of the biggest components of expediting is sitting between loads. Especially in a cargo...

I'll respond in more detail when I get a chance, but for now, it appears you don't fully grasp what hypocrisy means. It also appears you really don't understand what journalism is and therefor what goes into it to make it excellent. That's evident by your example of the global warming bias...

The reason you're confused is they aren't contradictory at all. So, we're talking about CBS News now? Like I said earlier, deflecting the issue away from Fox News doesn't magically make Fox News a new organization with "integrity, honesty or objectivity" or that Fox News delivers excellence in...

Oh, hypocrisy abounds, but your premise was limited to news networks, not news programs or divisions. I could have a field day with local news.

Entangling alliances.

No, you can't make it up. In Post 113 you attempted to change the topic to that of CNN. I tried to bring it back in context in 116, but you went with 118 to deflect integrity away from Fox News and at CNN. As a way of not confronting the issues of Fox, you want to talk about CNN and their...

An article can be incredibly liberal, or conservative, but as long as the article is written using the proper principles of good journalism, the subject matter doesn't matter. The magazine (Mother Jones) is a liberal magazine to be sure, but so is National Geographic and Popular Mechanics. It's...

Actually Aristotle made a comment about CNN and I responded to it, mentioning the difference between them and Fox News is that CNN isn't hypocritical. You apparently don't know what "hypocritical" means. I noted that Fox News is hypocritical because they claim to be something that they are not...

You won't see a lot of "conservatives" win that award, simply because, being agenda driven, they cannot do what the award requires in order to win one, certainly not while they are working at a network with a political agenda.

I never claimed CNN had journalistic integrity, only that they aren't hypocritical. Fox News doesn't have journalistic integrity and they are hypocritical about it. Ragging (deflecting the issue) on CNN or any other news source doesn't magically make Fox News have integrity or not be...

Awesome retort. You got me. You win. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just making this stuff up as I go along. Fox News is the most bestest and mosted credible news organization in, like, ever. Their reporting is thorough, in-depth and like totally objective.

That's what you get for assuming instead of actually knowing. They base it on a Pew study where CNN was named as the most credible television news source (for the 5th year in a row). It's outdated, mainly because Pew hasn't done another credibility study since 2002, and PPP has, but continuing...

Then again there also the analogy of the mice with the electrodes wired into the sexual pleasure center of the brain who keep on slapping that monkey button because nothing else matters, everything else is an irrelevant waste of time

Yeah, we know that. And for the reasons outlined above about profit being the driver and the partisan take on the news being the reason to tune in. The difference, of course, is nobody touts CNN as being Fair and Balanced.

So are you just gonna stick your tongue out at me now? If you can refute anything I've said, please do so. Like I said, the proof is right there in the reporting, all you have to do is read it. Any proof I provide to you, regardless of how unambiguous and irrefutable, will not be accepted by...

Who says that? I don't know anyone who says that. Fox News doesn't get it wrong every time. They're actually pretty accurate when the report non-political stories that don't have a political side to them. But, as soon as a story crops up that is able to have a partisan side to it, there ya go...

Not really. First, most news media isn't even left-of-center and the stories don't come from a left-of-center ideology. Most news media makes the attempt at objective reporting of the facts, so they are mostly centrist in their reporting. Granted, sure, yeah, their reporting isn't conservative...
