    I would liken it to there not being enough room for The Onion.

    Sam, you and the liberals look foolish in this argument. You've definitely lost this round to Refman and the conservatives. I'm glad the other tv media showed some spine for what was right.

    You'd think after all this, you'd have learned the basic facts of what happened instead of spouting the nonsense from page 1.

    Would you care to point out the lies by these people?

    Of course you wouldn't, because you're just talking out your ass like usual, and won't ever provide any evidence to support your claims. You just make the claims and they get shot down, or ignored.

    To be fair, you can't really call Olbermann a liar because he actually believes the stuff he blathers on about, like his status a respected journalist.

    Note to Sishir:

    FB did not write that post because he dislikes basso's politics.

    That's crappy journalism, and not checking thoroughly, that isn't exactly lying

    Really? Can you point to actual examples where Fox created documents using Microsoft Word and tried to pass them off as 30 year old documents from the DOD regarding a President's service record?

    Do you understand English? It isn't excusing anything. Rather and CBS were at fault in that story. I wasn't excusing a thing.

    What you don't understand or pretend not to understand is amazing.

    Can you point to actual examples of CBS News doing this? Thanks in advance.

    And it didn't happen now, as has been pointed out. But you're on the right track.

    MSM will never display any spine b/c it falls under the same umbrella that promotes the single party dem/rep hegemoney

    He doesn't sound very repentant to me, but maybe he was when he was on trial.
