McCain 2000 for president!

Just playing devid's advocate for a brief moment here:
Maybe FOX News randomly selected stock footage. I'm hoping that if they were trying to make him look younger they would have combed each frame of that footage to make sure there were no clues, and if there were clues they would have photoshopped them out (like they have been known to do).

That being said FOX News is the scum of the earth and I hate them.

Oh Ben Stein, why must you be such a tool.

Did they just call Obama a Nazi/Fascist?

Yeah, let's make McCain look younger. You know...64.

Ben Stein: "Visene keeps the Reds out...wow."

Let's not forget that Ben Stein was a Nixon staffer, and is a "Intelligent Design" advocate. Bearing that in mind, it's no surprise to see him on Fox comparing Obama to Hitler. Funny part is that if McBush was going to be giving a speech with that many people attending, they'd be lauding it as a great achievement.

Another (s)hit piece from MS-DNC?

No liberal bias here!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

^ Much as it pains me - I have to admit that MSNBC is just as biased as FNC. These two channels are not news at all - more like competing OpEd stations.

Of course I watch MSNBC because I agree with it. Just like heartlanders watch FNC.

I can't help but think that both of these stations are just playing sycophantically to our comfort spots.

MSNBC is owned by GE, FOX by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp. There is only one thing that both of these companies care about ... hint ... it's not journalistic integrity.

Ben Stein has to have developed either a brain tumor or a mental illness. Could be both, who knows.

QM: There is nothing wrong with biased press, there's press freedom, which means any channel can have a bias. The bad thing about FOX is not that they are biased, but that they are deceitful, they LIE and DISTORT to to present their bias, and then they tell people that they are NOT biased, which is the biggest lie of them all.

MSNBC is clearly liberal compared to FOX, but I've yet to see them intentionally lie and distort the facts to further their bias, and maybe I've missed it, but its certainly not a daily event like it is on FOX

I disagree. Biased makes it quite difficult to present subjective journalism. I'm sure if we looked we could find as much material that showed how MSNBC had *smudged* the truth a little bit. It's all dribble. The more we watch biased media, the harder it is to realize when our preconceptions are wrong.

Do you have any recommendation for unbiased news?

There are no unbiased news, only degrees of bias.

Oh, and Ben Stein sucks the führers hairy donkey balls.

Until the news is taken out of the hands of humans, there will be bias.

Ask 3 witnesses of a incident about the emotions and possible reasons for it, and you will get 3 answers. They may all have some factual truths in common, but they will all differ when trying to tell the "feel" of it.

That's what reporters do now, try to tell you what they felt the news meant, not just the news. Truthiness is real.

...also, you people don't appreciate the genius of Ben Stein. He's setting himself up like Colbert, only he isn't mucking it up by saying he really doesn't believe it. Crazy like a fox!

^ Wouldn't that be great? Colbert + Kaufman = Stein?
