Wow-Faux was the ONLY cable news network to mention Biden's Violence Against Women Act!
I'm watching Faux's version of Biden's bio. I already saw CNN's and MSNBC's bios, and neither of them even MENTIONED Biden's VAW work! What a surprise!

1. They want their braindead listeners to associate Biden
with violence against women.

5. Or they want their brain-dead wife-beaters
to know Biden is interfering with their way of life.

12. That was my thought
Want to make sure all the knuckle-draggers know that Biden is responsible for sending them to jail when they were, gosh, just trying to defend themselves.

19. That doesn't make sense.
Because if they'd been to jail then they most likely can't vote (because that's the way repugs want it).

23. First, I don't think it's a felony
and second, most states do allow felons to vote, they just don't tell people when they get out of prison.

2. Are you sure about the others?
I saw MSNBC's version last night and I'm certain that it did.

I have CNN's on DVR, I got interrupted while watching that one.

4. No, they didn't.
And, I hate to say it, but Fox got it all right. CNN-hatchet job. MSNBC--covert hatchet job. Fox-balanced and informative.

And, yeah, I was amazed too.

8. No way.
The Fox bio was full of snide asides. The tone was disrespectful. MSNBC did the best job. CNN did a somewhere in-between job. It doesn't matter what particular bill was mentioned or not; it's the tone that matters.

10. You watched 2 minutes of it, and you think you are qualified to say that??
bullshit. It was a good piece. Period. I don't care who did it, it was fair. CNN was a hatchet job, and as I said, MSNBC was a covert hatchet job.

The show was an hour long, yet, you judged it in 2 minutes...you just lost all credibility with me.

3. I watched 2 minutes of it
and in those 2 minutes there were several negative points or innuendos made about Biden. I immediately turned it off. It was the worse profile of Biden of the three I've seen, which, of course, would be expected of Fox. I checked in just to see if maybe, just maybe, they might do an OK job.

6. You should have watched it all the way through. It was the best.

14. It wasn't as bad.
We are in disagreement here, but that's what I saw. OK, if it is shown again, I'll watch some more of it. Maybe I just saw the worst 2 minutes.

17. I didn't watch it until seeing many comments on it here about how good it was. They were right...
you really SHOULD watch it so you can judge the whole thing.

16. Thank you Jenmito, at least you're being honest.
Some people let their obvious bias dictate their opinions. I don't like Fox anymore than anyone else does, but they got this right.

18. No problem...

20. Fox's unfortunately was the best.
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 03:13 PM by Jennicut
It was done by Greta Van Susteren. I don't think she is a Rethug. It was probably the fairest. CNN left out important stuff about his accomplishments and MSNBC had a lot of negative stuff as well. Fox's actually surprisingly did not dwell much on the negative stuff and had great interviews with his friends. I hate to admit it but it was well done and I would like to see it again. I am just happy that all 3 news channels actually did something about Joe!

25. Well I haven't seen any of them but this just goes to show, that we each
interpret input differently. Although, FOX seems to be the most fair and balanced according to the most people.

Actually I saw Chris Wallace taking some Repub to task, too, and that was pretty shocking as well.

Maybe they see the writing on the wall -- the Dems are gonna win it, and FOX may not be the place to be working next year. :7
