When I first watched Fox News, the first thing that came to mind was honestly that it wasn't news. Rather, it was one person's analysis and opinion on how someone screwed up an issue or something. For every one minute of news, I then saw 15 minutes of what I realized was one sided conservative arguing. Actually, not even arguing, because most of the time Fox is only conservatives agreeing with each other. (Not saying that other news networks are better)

I feel Fox is very hypocritical. Today, I watched a segment where they were playing President Obama in Iowa and he was joking that after he signed the health care bill, "no meteors fell from the sky". I thought it was a simple joke, but the Fox anchors were saying how disrespectful that was it, and it made him look some what informal etc. First I thought, "that's being disrespectful." However then, I saw the real message, that they could not recognize that this was a joke. Who is this disrespecting by placing this joke? The people that fought against the health care? Sure, but he's not calling them fools, not insulting them personally? It is just ironic how one little joke can take up a whole Network's air time, while the rest of the time, they are insulting almost every single thing that Obama does.

Ending on this note, this is another thing that I saw recently.

Interesting, so I can't have my opinions about Fox news, but they're allowed to use whatever footage, opinions and analysis then want on the liberal media?

I'm not trying to label anyone. I mean, America is polarized enough. I think people, not politicians or media need to have a good honest talk face to face about these issues. Emphasis on face to face because conversations over the internet always end up with someone insulting each other's moms.

Late Writings

I've been a little busy with school so I haven't been able to write about a lot lately. This weekend I'm planning on writing more...
