Eh...<br><br>Partisan "media watch" organizations don't impress me. You never hear the context of what was said, only the context in which they want to present it. <br><br>

Media matters does a pretty good job of context on their website with providing comprehensive transcripts and long video/audio clips. Brock gets really ridiculous sometimes. He was complaining a while back that the NPR ombudsmen was advancing the myth that the ombudsmen at CPB were on the left and right (they're both pretty conservative). I read the column he was complaining about and the tone of the whole thing ranged from conciliatory to sarcastic to disappointed, he was certainly not being some Tomlison shill.<br><br>-- Charlie Alpha Roger Yankee Whiskey<br>

I'm not surprised to see that kind of crap from people who can only conceptualize things based on their own political advancement.<br><br>-- Charlie Alpha Roger Yankee Whiskey<br>

QT link<br><br>The correct context to make them sound like idiots? Brit Hume's first thoughts were of futures trading? Or does he share the same insight as Rush that not enough people were killed or maimed to make this a real success of a terror attack? <br><br>It's really okay to step out from your little bubble for brief moments of insanity like this and say "yes, FoxNews sucked." <br><br><br><br>

Shepard Smith of FoxNews is an idiot too (.wmv link) <br><br>Please read the "Fox Facts" that appear on screen while he goes on his attack <br><br><br><br>

George Soros backed "Media Matters" is so highly partisan it's laughable. "Media Matters" as long as it's focused on one cable news outlet.<br> <br><br><br>

highly partisan.... well doh!<br><br>And somehow Shepard Smith (a link not found on Media Matters) contradicting his own network and spinning his own made-up conclusions is not worthy of criticism? <br><br>Brit Hume's comment is not worthy of criticism? The clip sure gave a lot of breathing room before and after the comments as not to change their context.<br><br><br>So why attack Media Matters? Please clear things up for me if any of this, as shown in the two clips, is taken out of context and edited for partisan attacks.<br>As you are a champion of honest media, please explain how any of these comments are worth your praise? I thought you might even agree with me that FoxNew's and Rush's comments were lame.<br><br><br><br>

Out of 1,440 minutes (of a 24 hour news story), we get a snippet of Hume talking about the stock market . . .

FOX NEWS! FOX NEWS!, what was so "bad" about these comments ... snippets, really, gleaned from an all consuming 24 hour news story. <br><br>
