[Gil Dobie]

Cracks me up that conks declare any news service what so ever as leftist, if it is not Fox.

All news service are either left or right politically.

.....except Reuters

[CID1990]

The thing about MSNBC and Fox News is you know what you are getting with them..........they each have engaging personalities to listen to and laugh at. I just don't trust CNN..........

That's strange, because if I am looking for objectivity I would tune in to CNN first if I absolutely had to get my news from TV. Fox and MSNBC are entertaining but I'm not sure I would "trust" them to report everything except what supports their agenda.

Maybe I did not make my statement in the clearest sense, in the eyes of our resident conks, all news organizations are leftist except for the official news agency of the conks, Fox News.

Will Clint Eastwood make the Republicans’ day? Or maybe Sarah Palin? Rush Limbaugh, perhaps?

The political chatter around the Republican convention has once again turned to a Romney pick – with delegates and reporters alike wondering who the campaign has tapped to be the mystery guest at Thursday night’s finale.

The buzz started Monday when convention officials released a revised schedule that included a “To Be Announced” speaker – tucked between a performance by singer Taylor Hicks and a speech by Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio.

Officials confirmed Wednesday that a surprise guest was still on the schedule but declined further comment.

One Republican source told FoxNews.com that Eastwood is indeed the mystery speaker, following an online report that claimed the actor is planning to travel to Tampa for the convention. If the Academy Award winner is the one, he could get a mixed reception with the Hollywood-leery crowd. “He’s all right, despite being associated with Hollywood,” Bruce Thompson, a California delegate, said laconically. “He’s a good guy and was a good mayor.”

The chatter comes shortly after Eastwood endorsed Romney for president, despite cutting a Super Bowl ad earlier in the year that some saw as a subtle push for a second Obama term..

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, a new face of Christian conservativism, is another name being bandied about as the possible speaker. Rachel Ayers, a senior at High Point University in North Carolina who was touring the convention center Wednesday morning, lighted up at the mention of Tebow. “Tim Tebow would be amazing,” said Ayers, who with several others also wanted to see a former Bush president or first lady.

Her classmate, 19-year-old Kyle Berube, put his odds on Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate.

If it's Palin, I'll puke.
If it's Tebow or Limbaugh, I may never vote Republican again.

Why aren't you equally outraged at the Yahoo bureau chief's racial gaffe?

CNN has been caught too many times not just INTERPRETING the news, but literally FABRICATING the news...

No thanks...

Agreed. They just seem weirdly "un-American". Can't quite put my finger on it, but they are almost like a covert organization.

I agree that they are a little off somehow, but they are not brazenly partisan (with a couple individual exceptions) like the rest.

The two people that I enjoy watching (because they are the only ones that don't completely grate on my nerves) are Shepard Smith and Anderson Cooper.

Yes, seriously. They are entertaining, and I do not have to constantly suspend disbelief every time they open their mouths.

I get no hard news or commentary from television news stations. I watch them to be entertained and for the news ticker on CNN.

Well McCain just finished up.........once a war monger, always a war monger.

I feel better than ever that he never became President.

[BlueHen86]

Fox News is a mouth piece for the GOP and MSNBC is a mouth piece for the Dems.
If you want to know the GOP talking points tune into Fox, if you want to know the Dem talking points tune into MSNBC.

CNN leans left, I think they try to appear neutral, but they are definitely left leaning.

It's hard to find unbiased news these days.

Some good speeches so far tonight from Huckabee and Rice. Rice is a really hitting it out of the park right now with her speech.
