Follow up...

I keep hearing this line repeated, 'Hamas started this war', but in reality Israel started the shelling BEFORE Hamas started shooting rockets this time...allegedly in retaliation for the murder of 3 Israelis. They bombed the homes of the suspects, their families, a Hamas leader, and for good measure the police chief and burned a Palestinian kid alive, THEN Hamas retaliated.
Legitimate war in Iraq?!? Oh man......

Couple of points on his followup, none of which is intended to defend the unprofessional style of the Fox interviewer.

* Makes excuse for the Hamas charter stating "they're just really angry".
* Picks on pronunciation, while calling Hannity childish in the previous video.
* Points out that Fox making fun after discussing a very serious situation reduced it to entertainment, then thanked his panel of Jesus, flowers and Gandhi.

Yes, he's a comedian, but this is precisely why he shouldn't have made the last charge. There's nothing wrong with making light at the end of a serious topic, as long as you're not making light of the topic itself.

The left gets most of their news from comedians...Stewart, that other british chap, Brand, Bill Mahr, that cat 3 vids down etc.

Russell provided a good deconstruction of Hannity's tactics to further Fox News' propaganda campaign. In the follow up in the sift's comments section, its ironic to learn that the Israel army has basically turned Gaza into a concentration camp for Palestinians.

That is because the right, and the corporations that own and run the right, also own the large media outlets.

So...NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, HuffPo, AP, Reuters, Bloomberg, Xinhua, Politico, BBC, NYT, Free Republic, RT, NKorea News not enough, eh?

Yes, more than half of those are owned by massive corporations.
The others are massive government propaganda machines.

I'm sorry if you think there is too much truth and facts reported on them.
They are not left wing it's just that Reality has a well know Liberal bias.

Comedians, corporate news anchors, it's actually irrelevant who presents the issues. What matters is whether you have a reasoned, considered and coherent argument to present.

Sometimes both sides can defend their positions, because the world is complicated and varying shades of grey.

Sometimes one side just shouts.

'reality has a liberal bias' lol

Glad you read it.
Yes, 'reality has a liberal bias' and the media, corporations and politics have a massive right wing bias.
(Just though I'd spell it out for you)

FYI Fox, your people are the ones that sound stupid and bigoted compared to Russel's eloquent and well-thought out reply video where he makes the very common sense argument about who is in the wrong here.. and it's obviously Israel.

Hey look. "He's a comedian" should be the first thing you mentioned, because that's what he is. He's a clever and compassionate guy, but he's ultimately a comedian.

The guys he's referring to are supposed to work in news reporting.

You'll have to give him artistic license to use his skills to lampoon and lambaste their skills. He isn't going to professionally debate Hannity especially when the man can't even allow a debate to happen on a national news station. He is certainly capable of it, but don't expect him (a comedian) to take the high ground over a news anchor. If the anchor wants to act like a child and use silly methods to trick people, Brand is fully entitled to use his superior silly methods to highlight the truth.

holy crap, talk about delusional. And the only thing you can spell out for me is your convoluted logic, or lack of it.

Glad you read that to. Yes I am the one using logic and reason.

And thank you for all your posts in this thread, which seem to generate even more responses from logical and reasonable people.

Careful, You wouldn't want to make @lantern53 angry, He knows how to be a tough guy on the internet. He can't make his own arguments, but he knows how to knock over other peoples' sand castles

...like a manly man
