		<description>Aren&#039;t we supposed to &quot;lynch&quot; people for saying that bombs that maime and kill our soldiers are meaningless and we should ignore them?

The mob should be waiting for Bill on Sixth Avenue in the Rockefeller Center.

That pasty troglodyte is begging for discipline.</description>

		<description>Whenever someone claimed they are smart or genius, usually that cover up for their lack of confidences.  Same context can be apply to Fair and Balance phrase that Fox News love to say so.  I wonder if someone like Bill loves to present fake facts to obscure the real truths and prevent bigger meaning to come out to the public can be trial as criminal activity?  If an organization wants to be serious and claimed itself to be a serious organization should not in anyway misleading the public with fake information.  I think!  If wrong information presented to the public was an accident then it&#039;s ok, but repeated offenses like Bill&#039;s record hold, I think it&#039;s rightly so we should not watch his show anymore, and if one day Bill getting sue by someone or some legit parties, I&#039;ll cheer them up!</description>

		<description>russ, you might want to check your authors. bradbury wrote farenheit, not vonnegut. not trying to be condescending. just trying to let you know for future reference. 

i don&#039;t think you can argue the &quot;relevance&quot; of the bear attack. though it is a tragedy that a boy&#039;s life was lost, i don&#039;t think it&#039;s particularly relevant for society as a whole. my opinion. if you&#039;ve an argument to make about the bear attack&#039;s relevance, why not discuss the deaths of pig farmers and their children. the numbers are much higher. 

and, i forget who it was who said it, but whoever claimed that news and the media should not be used for information, i suggest getting ahold of Murrow&#039;s monologue at the Radio and Television News Directors Association.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;You people have more trouble following a thread. ... If you are able to focus on the thread a little better later, start from the beginning and perhaps youâ€™ll be able to understand it all by yourself! ;)

Comment by upright left &lt;/em&gt;

Indeed, it is sometimes difficult to follow the twists and turns of the trollish &quot;mind&quot; on a thread. Where one expects to find logic, one finds only repetition. When looking for relevance one finds only talking points.

I know you think you&#039;re just the smartest boy ever, but it&#039;s not even a particularly bright superficiality.</description>

You people have more trouble following a thread.  Ok, Kat, go back and read verrrry carefully and see if you can find where I said whether O&#039;Reilly reports hard news or not.  It&#039;ll take ya a good while, so I&#039;ll just tell ya I never said it.  What I said was the headline is misleading.  I won&#039;t repeat the part about the dead kid again.  Seems you folks want to kill babies and then ignore deaths of kids after they are born as well.  I didn&#039;t really expect anything else from ya though.  If you are able to focus on the thread a little better later, start from the beginning and perhaps you&#039;ll be able to understand it all by yourself!  ;)</description>

Pedophile, BushCo has made great strides towards converting the U.S. into a very Soviet style of rule.  They do what they want, choose party converted to be U.S. attorneys, and enrich themselves, while the disparity between rich and poor grows ever wider.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Why is it everyone needs to label the others-liberal, reich-winger, GOPig-

different opinions. &lt;/i&gt;

Wrong.  Those that support BushCo are obtuse retards, who obstinately continue their support, the result of which is a systematic destruction of America and freedom.

Those who support BushCo are traitors to the country.  100% of Americans should be outraged at what is being perpetrated by BushCo, and don&#039;t even realize (the obtuse retard part) that BushCo isn&#039;t good for ANY American.</description>

		<description>One of, if not THE, biggest problem in America, is the main stream media not reporting, or not giving enough time to news that is important.

As an example, on the day that it was announced that there were possibly &lt;b&gt;millions&lt;/b&gt; of deleted emails off republican national committee servers.  The fact of the emails themselves being on these servers is illegal.  There are so many problems with this, yet one look at the MSM newspapers, and websites and you wouldn&#039;t have even known this happened.

It&#039;s OK to provide entertainment within a news format.  What&#039;s not OK is doing to the exclusion of real news.  It&#039;s about informing the American public, and the MSM has been dropping that ball for years.</description>

There are so many problems with this, yet one look at the MSM newspapers, and websites and you wouldn&#8217;t have even known this happened.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s OK to provide entertainment within a news format.  What&#8217;s not OK is doing to the exclusion of real news.  It&#8217;s about informing the American public, and the MSM has been dropping that ball for years.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=3877393', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Why is it everyone needs to label the others-liberal, reich-winger, GOPig-

different opinions. 

What we can see from a track record, B.O. doesn&#039;t even pretend to be objective- it&#039;s not his shtick.

However the mainstream media does- pretend- I know- I&#039;m one. The nature of journalism is to find , search, discover- weigh, balance thennnnn decide- it requires a liberal viewpoint.  You can&#039;t conserve the status quo if you are constantly tracking the evolution of humanity and events</description>

		<description>&quot;Do ya suppose a soldier serving in Iraq would rather have his family glued to MSNBC watching every report of an explosion and stressing over whether their loved one was killed in it?&quot;

I think the troops are best served by an informed public being able to make informed, rational decisions in the ballot box.   This is the function of our press corps.  No matter how you slice it, democracy is never served well by a docile or silenced news media.

Does that mean their families might see something unsettling on the news?  Yes, I am afraid so- yet another burden they face because of this ill advised, ill conceived and drastically ill implemented unnecessary war of aggression.</description>

		<description>This issue is PROOF that faux watching reich-wingers are nothing but brainless SHEEPLE.  News coverage of the &quot;war&quot; has never been an issue until O&#039;Reilly deemed it wasn&#039;t news worthy.  Now, all the brainless twits like &quot;upright&quot; march in order like good little Nazis parroting the EXACT same lies and propaganda as their faux masters.  How pathetic.  yet, they are such simpletons that they will never see the light.</description>

		<description>&quot;You check with the parents of the dead boy and see if they think the bear story is relevant. Iâ€™m willing to let them be the judges of relevance in that case, how bout you?&quot;

I&#039;m afraid that if we let the family of the deceased dictate what is &quot;relevant&quot; for news coverage, CNN will just be 24hrs of obits.  Dont get me wrong- I feel for their families and its not that it isnt news.  Let me put it this way: Is someone getting killed by a bear news? Sure.  Does it deserve to be covered? Sure.  Does it deserve to be covered *instead* of the entire Iraq war?  Only if you&#039;re Bill O.</description>
