No more Channel 4 news for me
So much for impartial journalism, they were talking about gay marriage rights and such and the 'newscaster' gleefully announced how pResident Bush* 'fully supports the constitutional amendment.' Her inflection was utterly disgusting. (Did I mention she's African American? Having a white male saying he'd support discrimination is one thing, but for one minority to be so openly biased against another, this sickens me... Would she like it if I said a few choice words, such as "Why don't I make you gay for a day and see if you still sing the same tune?")

:shrug:

Now some old white guy is interviewing some old country singer wearing way too much makeup and an unflattering rd dress and chatting up her great repuke buddies...

Not that I normally watch the news, it's all spoon-fed dumbing-down propaganda that's often repeated word for word on the other channels.

2. I think the old white guy was Bill Carlson...?
I didn't catch the one who was gleeful of her support of the Resident or the country music singer. If I saw her on tomorrow's news, I'd remember though.

It was about 11:40 at the time.

Either way, I know full well to avoid mainstream media because they all parrot each other, with no individuality or free expression whatsoever. I just didn't know that newscasters were allowed to show clear signs of bias.

3. I gave up when Shelby "apologized" for the Wellstone funeral
He turned to the camera and said soemthing to the effect, "I'm sorry you had to see that". Another repuke disproving the "liberal" media hoax.
