Apparently gun toting right wing nuts don't like Democrat presidents. it's hardly fair to associate people who are actually mentally ill (which this guy might be) with the "mainstream" wing nuts. |

But Republicans can't be blamed for obeying Palin's order to shoot people, of course. I'm sure using rifle crosshairs as imagery in propaganda listing names of people who aren't fascists had something to do with it. I'm not sure if Palin's village idiocy is an act or an excuse to cover up malicious intent but malignancy and conservatism are from being mutually exclusive. |

I'm not so sure. Antisocial behavior can be a mental disorder and certainly lots of those main streamers want to fuck over everyone else on lots of issues. |

All I can say. Looks like Chester A. Bum has one hell of a dark side. |

Now this is just silly. Does Fox News really think that anyone would believe that the OWS protesters would want to kill Obama, a Democrat? They're truly getting desperate to spin the blame away from them. Despicable.

Not initially, as shown by the admission that the shooter was trying to blend with protesters rather than actually being a protester. But if they can get the name “Occupy Shooter” to stick, they will have a pretty decent Big Lie going on. |

Apparently "Linked To" means "Stood in the same neighborhood as." FAIR AND BALANCED! Yes, I am mad.

The facts and headlines never seem to go together. Fox might be bad but they aren't the only ones who do it in fact I would argue that nearly every news outlet does it and they should all be ashamed. This in no way excuses Fox though, that headline is just a whole pile of wrong.

Fox is the worst, though. MSNBC comes in a close second. I don't live in America so I don't know the day to day operations and headlines of the news outlets all that well but I would agree that Fox is the worst of the bunch from what I have seen. |

MSNBC is sorta like a straw liberal newscast. Where FOX News is essentially the right wing (partially because they partially run the right wing) MSNBC is supposed to be the equal equivalent for the left wing. The problem is that many people in the left wing are intelligent enough to recognize bullshit even when it's spewing from "their side", so they don't watch it. However, the right wing does, because it more or less "confirms" their suspicions about the radical left wing. CNN is right-leaning, but then everything but MSNBC is right-leaning to an extent, mostly because that's where their money sources are leaning. |

As the scholar Rush Limbaugh points out, even MSNBC is mostly conservative. It's only regarded as liberal because A) conservatives need to pretend that liberals are in the media and B) it includes any liberals at all, albeit a minority of them.

That's funny, I have not seen anything close to the Fox News headlines coming from MSNBC or MSNBC labeling Democrats who embarrass them as Republicans.    Personally, without any examples, it looks like you're falling for a false equivalence fallacy. |
