No, I'm really not joking. I want to know if they're biased to the left or right, or at all.

I don't watch PBS at all but I'd say they probably lean toward the left if anything.

I just lean back. :deek:

aside from fox, i cant stand CBN, that network is a joke. I like how when we were attacked on 911 Pat Robertson blamed the united states for the attacks saying "PAT ROBERTSON: And we have thought that we're invulnerable. And we have been so concerned about money. We have been so concerned about material things. The interests of people are on their health and their finances, and on their pleasures and on their sexuality, and while this is going on while we're self-absorbed and the churches as well as in the population, we have allowed rampant pornography on the internet. We have allowed rampant secularism and occult, etc. to be broadcast on television. We have permitted somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 to 40 million unborn babies to be slaughtered in our society. We have a court that has essentially stuck its finger in God's eye and said we're going to legislate you out of the schools. We're going to take your commandments from off the courthouse steps in various states. We're not going to let little children read the commandments of God. We're not going to let the Bible be read, no prayer in our schools. We have insulted God at the highest levels of our government. And, then we say 'why does this happen?'
Well, why it's happening is that God Almighty is lifting his protection from us. And once that protection is gone, we all are vulnerable because we're a free society, and we're vulnerable. We lay naked before these terrorists who have infiltrated our country. There's probably tens of thousands of them in America right now. They've been raising money. They've been preaching their hate and overseas they have been spewing out venom against the United States for years. All over the Arab world, there is venom being poured out into people's ears and minds against America. And, the only thing that's going to sustain us is the umbrella power of the Almighty God."
ummm, thats insanity if you ask me.

or conviction :dunno: a person believing (or not believing) something doesnt qualify them as insane. if it did, one could say you were insane for not agreeing. although, there are some that would.

i am by no stretch saying i agree with what he said (in part or whole) but i wont say i disagree (in part or whole) and i certainly wouldnt qualify him as insane for thinking/believing/saying it.

now bring up that loon from colorado that in more words said we got what we had coming to us on 9/11, well he's insane - if for no other reason than because he was crazy enough to say such wild things nationally, repeatedly, and in the public eye.

No, he's very, very deep into wacko land. He claims his prayers have the ability to steer hurricanes, and he's full of hateful, wacko stuff.

Read up on his quotes:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson

"[Planned Parenthood] is teaching kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism – everything that the Bible condemns."

"The Antichrist is probably a Jew alive in Israel today."

"We're importing Hinduism into America. The whole thought of your karma, of meditation, of the fact that there's no end of life and there's this endless wheel of life, this is all Hinduism. Chanting too. Many of those chants are to Hindu Gods -- Vishnu, Hare Krishna. The origin of it is all demonic. We can't let that stuff come into America. We've got the best defense, if you will -- a good offense."

"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense, I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist."

"If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom, I think that's the answer." (talking about the United States State Department)




That's some pretty crazy, hateful things IMO

Al Jazeera is made out to be terrorists by our own government, but I’m not blind. Its real journalism not some water down junk spewed out by a corporation with political and capital interests of its advertiser base.

no news is the absolute truth, it's all about spin and how they want to spin the "truth" to their public.
