Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Don’t confuse this argument with facts!

Well, if President Roosevelt could address the nation on TV in 1929, when Hoover was president and there was no TV. . . .

In other words, Reich and Biden clearly come from the same planet. And it ain’t this one.

It looks as if this mention of Fox News has been corrected.

Since when do post modernists concern themselves with the truth in making a point.

Why would he feel impelled to add a reference to Fox News in the first place? I suppose he goes around wishing it could somehow be silenced, so the reference flowed naturally. That is what bothers me the most about the left. There does not seem to be respect for any core American value such as free speech, or inalienable rights (ie rights that cannot be taken away, even by majority vote). I for one don’t want to live in Rob’s reich.

Well , Chris, it is clear that Mr. Peobody and Sherman took the WayBack Machine back to 1994 and broadcast tapes of Fox …causing a ripple in the space/time continuim…

A study by the University of Chicago and Stanford University compared major news media to the political views of members of Congress and found all the major TV networks’ news coverage to be slanted more in the liberal direction, except Fox.

But those academics are just a bunch of tea-partiers.

Correction: Those universities funded and assisted with the study. They didn’t write it.

Of course, the study is post-1996. Prior to that Fox News was a right wing frat house.

How come the elite always use “right-wing” for describing conservatives but “progressive” for describing liberals?

Such dopes! I have an undergraduate degree in Political Science and have always been a self-taught historian, so I remember 1994 quite well. Any maroon knows Fox News was not around then. As I recall, it was MCJ, Sarah Palin and George Wallace who led the charge for Gingrich and the Republicans. And I also recall how angry President Lyndon Johnson was at the time. Now, as to 1996 and the Kennedy-Nixon debates..but that’s another story.

Smurf Breath’s Rob’s reich and Christian’s evocation of <strong1984; two great ripostes to this silliness.

I also see that the Salon – what a precious news machine! – article went AWOL all of a suddne. Fact checking, anyone???

Rush Limbaugh is right. How do you know when I liberal politician is lying? Answer: His lips are moving.

KC,
“Well , Chris, it is clear that Mr. Peobody and Sherman took the WayBack Machine back to 1994 and broadcast tapes of Fox …causing a ripple in the space/time continuim…” I think you are on to something. It helps explain why Reich is a little “short” on facts. Continuing with your line of reasoning, I’d have to say Reich reminds me a bit of Snidely Whiplash.

Liberal “historians” have always had free access to H.G. Wells’ time machine.

what gives me “Hope” is that Dudley always shows up on time and saves Nell!

Apparently the software here doesn’t like quotation marks, along with multiple links. Be warned.

The reference to Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman warms my heart.

Doesn’t matter that FOX News wasn’t around back then…they are just that powerful!

Continuing with your line of reasoning, I’d have to say Reich reminds me a bit of Snidely Whiplash.

Nah. Whatever else you say about him, Snidely was always his own man. There was room for just one villain in his dastardly plots, and if anybody was going to do any villaining when Snidely was around, it had better be Snidely himself. He wouldn’t have been caught dead sucking up to Fearless Leader the way Reich does.

To add to the Bullwinkle references:

Did anyone hear echoes during President Obama’s speech last night of Bullwinkle himself: “This time fer sure!!!” – ?

ccinnova, it is because liberalism, like cancer, is a progressive disease.

Now Chris, don’t be — ahem — “short” with Reich.
