		<description>Dear Allan, i have some question&#039;s and a cmment that i would like for you to ask  Shawn Hannity, and i want a straight forward answer no double standard no double talking reply to these question.  in the primary season the republican party  along with Shawn Hannity made a major issue about the fact that Senatr Obama did not wear his american flag lapell pin at any of his speaches or primary debates .But now  that i have watched two presidental debates and viewed John Mccain&#039;s public speeches i noticed he dosent wear his flag lapell pin?  why haset Shawn Hannity and the Republican party, said any thing about this issue? and  talk about Senator Mccain like they did about Senator Obama&#039;s not being loyal to his country, and being a traitor to his country, why is it that there are double standards within the Republican Party. maby, that is why Shawn and the Republican Party have lost their credibility with the  american people, maby that&#039;s why Senator  Mccain is trailing in the poles. AND, oh by the way, im a very conservitive republican ,who is wondering what happened to the republican party that used to, tell the truth about all  the issues, and would not have double standard&#039;s, like present day Republicans, also im going to vote, against the double talking, double standard, so called present day Republican Party that  im ashamed  to talk about, with anyone and of all that has happened in the last several months, SHAWN some day maby you and the so called present day Republican Party can  wake up and realize the boat has  left the dock and  left  you behind shawn     thank you .  oliver</description>

		<description>AS SLANDERERS DECRY SLANDER

The deeds they do so now they raise
Against others in allegation;
But what makes slander, tell me please,
What constitutes? Deliberation
Upon the matter may reveal
But more false propaganda´s zeal.

So too, those as disseminate
Revisions over deeds historic,
Now claim it is their foes create
Much obfuscation, and euphoric
Subvert criteria objective
Of which tradition was selective.

It is &quot;Assault on Reason&quot; truly,
As everyone becomes unruly.</description>

		<description>2.) The idea that Fox News Channel, who employs both liberals and conservatives, who invites both liberals and conservatives to appear “On air” is somehow less biased then a film made entirely from one perspective is fallacious. Liberals such as Alan Combs and Joe Trippi regularly appear on FNC to voice their opinions. Can you name any conservatives associated with MoveOn.org or “Outfoxed” ? Can you name a single instance where either the movie or the website deviates from a far left perspective ?

2A.) The slogan, “Fair and Balanced” illustrates FNC’s emphasis on presenting all sides of an issue. The movie and the website have no similar slogan or ideal as a goal.

2B.) Name a member of the FNC staff who has criticized the channel for having a bias. I highly doubt such a thing exists.

2C.) It’s hypocritical to criticize me for expressing my viewpoint using Al Franken and Eric Alterman. They only criticize my expression because it’s not far left. Should my expression have been liberal it would have been (very much like their own) and completely acceptable. They wouldn’t argue there’s anything wrong with criticism, because if there was, they’d both be unemployed.

*** I&#039;ll finish the rest of my response when I&#039;ve got the disposable time. ***

		<description>1.) How are my comments conservative? Simply because you present a far left point of view that I disagree with, does that automatically make me a conservative? I’d call my comments legitimate and centrist. “It’s the re-framing that so identifies the comments as conservative.” This sounds like logic that says, “If it’s not black - it must be white,” which is absurd. 

1B.) You’ve referred to my comments as unfair. How are they unfair and how are they any different from your responses to them? Are they only unfair because they dissent from your view point? That’s sure how you make it sound. 

1C.) Only conservative groups identify and attack through criticism? What about Michel Moore? What about yourself? Maybe I’m mixed up and only liberals have the right to criticize. 

1D.) You’re using sources that are pre-determined to agree with your perspective. This is like asking the manager of McDonald’s about Burger King hamburgers – it’s biased and proves nothing.

1E.) Which “Personal attacks” were these? I’ve never attacked you personally, only your far left ideology. What’s unfair is that you’ve resorted to ad hominem attacks rather then responding to sincere criticism. This is specifically demonstrated in your reference to me as a “brown shirt.”

1F.) How did I re-frame your stories? Nothing was taken out of context - I only commented upon what you wrote. IF that’s re-framing then how are you not guilty of the same in your response?

		<description>I have a few comments to make about what Casey had to say about Fox and bias.  Just because a few people who worked in an organization say that the organization is biased does not make it so.  I remember hearing a debate on crossfire years ago about media bias.  Robert Novak made the comment that all of his collegues in the media were liberal and that he was concerned at the number of liberals in the media.  I heard a lady who worked at the L.A. times tell of how she was considered the lone conservative there.  Both of these individuals were complaining about a bias in the news organization they worked in.  What they said wasnt nessessarily proof that their environment was biased but was cause for concern and further investigation.  

The media research center has shown statistics on media converage.  A hot button issue will be discussed nationally and the network news shows and CNN will give more air time to those who discuss the issue from a liberal point of view.  I can&#039;t speak for Fox but I can bet some conservatives saw something like this happening and had the idea of making a news station where both libs and cons get the same air time.  

Well, I will admit I cant say for certainty that that happens of Fox.  Three or four of the news shows on that channel are hosted by cons.  But they seem to try and get an equal number of lib and con guests.  The other news blocks either give you the news straight or have a panel of people with mixed views.  I know they hired Gretta Van Sustren lately and it would seem they did so in order to add another lib to the evening line up.  Cal Thomas is very layed back and does not challenge much of what liberals say on his weeekend show.  And I&#039;d like proof that the producers give more air time to Hannity.  I watch that show quite a bit and they both seem to get equal amounts of time.  I am kinda being the devils advocate for Fox.  I realize they may well be doing what they complain CNN does but I&#039;d like more prove before I will cry con bias there.  I get my news from a variety of news outlets and have never seen something that the libs view as important left out of Fox&#039;s line up.</description>
