Chris Matthews is the real “enemy”
MSNBC talking head Chris Matthews is a buffoon. If you haven’t realized it by this point, check out the video above. In it, he talks about the “strange venue” Barack Obama chose for his speech, and he questioned why the President would visit the “enemy camp.”
Barack Obama is the Commander-in Chief. As such, giving a speech to cadets at the country’s premiere military academy seems like an appropriate place. As for Matthew’s “enemy camp” comment, it is shameful. These men and women are pledging to defend the United States. If an individual sees these soldiers as “enemies,” then they themselves are enemies of what America stands for.

If only Fox News were more like…Jon Stewart?
The Obama administration looked bad once again as communications director Anita Dunn criticized Fox News and praised Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart. In a laughable moment, Dunn was able to keep a straight face as she said MSNBC isn’t biased. Her evidence? Former Republican Joe Scarborough is employed by the network. If hiring one person from another ideological background is the litmus test, then should Fox News meet that threshold by employing Geraldo Rivera?
Of course, Fox News is biased, and so is MSNBC. Fox has a conservative slant, while MSNBC proudly pushes the liberal agenda. Anita Dunn surely realizes this, but chooses not to acknowledge this because because she wants the typical person to believe that the glowing reports on MSNBC are the “truth” and not pure liberal propaganda. » read more

Barack Obama vs. Fox News
In a perfect world, the media would be 100% unbiased. They would cover every important story appropriately without prejudice and never bury some stories and over-emphasize others. They would approach each topic with indifference, in order to let readers come to their own conclusions. They would exist solely to gather and distribute information without any agenda other than the desire to have an informed citizenry. That should be the goal, but it is far from the reality.
I enjoy watching Fox News, but it certainly isn’t “fair and balanced,” as the network claims. There is certainly a conservative slant that cannot be denied. I hear this mentioned frequently, but what I don’t hear mentioned often is the liberal bias demonstrated by MSNBC. They behave exactly like Fox News. They just do so at the opposite end of the political spectrum. » read more
