I love CNN. I think they are the most "fair and balanced" of any major news station. They even refused to show Obama's infomercial because it was biased toward one candidate over another.

Ok, this is an easy one to refute. The term "Some people say..." is not wrong. Some people say that God exists. To use that phrase, accompanied with something else does not make it true.
Secondly, these Fox News contributors got paid from the same network that it is insulting. They chose to go under contract, and got paid to lie. Yet they are a source of insight. People, that means I can insult a boss publically if I did not like him.

"Democrats" and "republicans" you the same, but are deliberately divided, controlled and conquered. O'reily is just a stooge, and so is Murdoch. Murdoch was on the verge of bankruptcy and on his scrawny knees in the 80's, but sold his soul to the big banks to pull him out. He is just following orders from them. And now you think you have a new president with "real change". He is just a puppet. They're gonna use him to convince us we need a world govt and micro-chipped population. Wake up people!

To be "Fair and balanced" FNC should start saying "one could argue that most..." or "I would argue that..."

When they say, "some people say..." it's just a weak way of making an argument. Whenever I hear that line, I start questioning: "Whose saying it?" "From whom are these statements coming?"

This is hilarious. The liberal media has done this for decades, these people are morons. "Some say" is how media members insert their opinion and have for decades. Glad you broke out of the egg and entered the world. Happy hatching.

Some people say they actually believe all this hearsay that Fox News reports. Some people KNOW that some people are easily misled!
