    I post a picture of blonde-haired white female newscasters on Fox and you respond with "They are all white and have blonde hair..."

    Good for you! :clap:

    How do you know? Did you do genetic studies on them all? Obama appears to be black... but he is supposedly part white.

    I guess it is accurate to say that the fox babes all appear to be white and have blond hair, but only their geneticists and hairdressers know for sure.:mrgreen:

    Those on the left are stupid? Why do you impersonate a Marine?!?! I am dishonored and appalled to say the least. Since when did Marines become one sided and not believe in the due process of our great country…

    Where is the posts of the lefts rebuttals to what Fox stated – that the left is telling lies?

    LOL! What are you, the diversity police? Did you not know that Fox News has Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and combinations thereof? Seriously, if you have a point, please make it.

    That is stating the obvious, just read the posts from the Fox News viewers.

    How do we know if any of those women are hispanic, black, asian, native american, other, etc?

    To assume they are not based on their looks just shows your prejudice. It is wrong to judge people by their covers.

    We don't know, so we judge them for what they appear unless they say otherwise...

    And they haven't...

    None of the article (not a published study) from the FD site says anything about the validity of the study(aka P value). For example, we know 612 people were spoken to but how many did they actually call and how did the numbers get selected? What scientific protocols were followed? Was the study done in a double blind fashion or did the subjects know what the poll was investigating?

    As far as I can see, this is nothing but supermarket rag fodder masquerading as something scientifically unbiased and factual.

    So... you were trying to point out that Fox News was not diverse, but they are. I'm glad I could help educate you on that fact. You're welcome!

    Is it fair for us to judge you on what you appear to be and not what/who you really are?

    Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have made a living pointing out the contradictory statements and the commentary hypocrisy from from Fox News commentators.

    It doesn't sound like you're thinking enough about quality VS quantity.

    Try not to think about the races or sex.

    What Fox does...is put people on the air who poorly represent the positions of "the left", or the Democratic Party.

    If they put on competent lefty politicians or pundits, they ask nothing but questions designed to elicit a defensive repsonse. Then after that guest is off, they have all sorts of rebuttals, body language exams, and loads of poop desgined to mitigate any damage incurred to the righty platform, or just discredit that guest.

    Righties on Fox are given softball questions, flags waving in the back ground, and boat loads of smiles.

    It's not news, and it's not brainwashing, it's just a network that is trying to make you feel good about being a Republican (or a conservative, or independent, or libertarian, or whatever you call yourself), so you tune in. It's a product, not reasoned debate.

    And MSNBC is the same in reverse.

    Do your homework, provide examples via links. This is exactly why I have zero respect for RWs, you have made an assertion, and yet are both unwilling and incapable of providing evidence.

    I bet you don't have the backbone to do it.

    BTW, do you know how to formalize an argument. Ie. web seacrh "mission critical", there will be a link to SJSU that will have an on-line teaching tool for you.

    The last thing I need is another RW replying to me without any idea on what they are talking about.

    Did they just clone one woman or are all Fox News Chicks required to dye their hair blonde?

    Oh look, another study saying people that watch Fox don't know anything....lol.

    This is only like the 5 regurgitated study on the subject.

    Leftists can't win by debating, so what is their last course of action? Call people stupid.

    Get a new play book statists!
