Brian Williams Suspended From NBC News

Ridiculous comparison dude. Name one person at Fox who is half the idiot that Sharpton or Ed what's his name is. The fact they have that race baiter on with his own show is almost criminal.

Sean Hannity just to name one.

 

[fortsbest]

He's a commentator not a news guy and he never claims to be a news guy. But he generally backs his commentary with facts or proof. Something Sharpton or the Ed show guy never do. Yes, Hannity doesn't like Obama, his cronies or his policies, but he was telling folk before Obama got elected what kind of things he would try to get done. You now what? He was right. And Trying to compare Hannity to Sharpton or Ed or Maddow is a fail. HE is nowhere near the partisan fail those folk are and nowhere near the hate spewer Sharpton is. The fact the MSNBC gave that guy a show is almost a crime.

 

[2233boys]

Pretty sure Sharpton is not a news guy. You asked for one idiot on Fox, I gave you one. Your description of Sean Hannity as not as no partisan is laughable. The guy is a hack for the Republican party, essentially there Mickey Spagnola or Hostile. Not the guys you named aren't just as bad. Claiming it is almost criminal is almost retarded.

 

[Clay_Allison]

Can't stand any of the political pom pom waving hacks. Hannity, Beck, Sharpton, Olbermann when he was on. Being an asshat on either side is equally bad.

 

[2233boys]

Agree

The fact that you actually believe this is telling Hannity is every bit as bad as Sharpton and Ed at least they do not hide there bias in a smug manner like Hannity.

And lately Hannity has turned into as much of a race baiter as Sharpton just watch his "Town Hall" shows when race is in the news.

I didn't say he wasn't partisan, I said he wasn't like those others in the sense he will have people of opposing views on his show and he will say when he disagrees with someone from his party. He will do things on his TV show like bringing a focus group on and talk about an issue with get this, people who disagree with him. I don't watch or listen to him often, but I do watch the other channel on occasion to see the left view and I cringe.

Hannity could try for years and never be the race baiter Sharpton is.

Sharpton does the same thing they both are biased host and I can't stand either, as a whole MSNBC brings more opposing veiws than Fox does, they bring on people who can actually articulate a point and give them room to talk.

Does not change the fact he is doing the same thing Sharpton does or does he get a pass in your mind.

@ anyone trying to defend one cable news station over another as more legit.

I have never seen or heard of Hannity doing the things Sharpton does or says on and off his show.
Find me one instance of Hannity ever saying crap like this. And this doesn't even start to address the stuff he does and says when he goes out to areas where tragedies happen like the Martin shooting.


In these clips he keeps saying we did this and we did that. He didn't do crap except try and stand on the shoulders of other black Americans that stood for something and turn it into something bad. And by the way, this is a guy the president gets some council from as an adviser.

First of all that was not on his show so whats your point?

Secondly I think both are despicable it seems for some reason you want to give Hannity a pass why can't we just recognize both for what they are.

My point was the type of person Sharpton is and what he represents and yet MSNBC still chose to give him a show and the president considers him worth listening to.

My second point was you have never heard anyone on Fox spew the crap this guy has, or the Ed show guy has. So you consider Hannity despicable because he disagrees with you ( typical view of people with your political bent) yet you offer no perspective as to why. That only leaves that you disagree, therefore he's despicable. Yet Sharpton is a vile, lying race baiter and you are calling the two equivalent.
And Skids, I try to watch them all when there's some major incident to get a feeling for what they say. CNN is much better now than when Clinton was in office about being less biased toward the left's view, but they still lean that way. MSNBC with lean forward as the motto and the hosts they have might as well call themselves the Obama TV network. Fox does go conservative, but again at least offers both views on even their opinion shows.

I agree Sharpton should never have gotten a show but evidentley there is a audiance for him.

I consider Hannity despicable because he plays to the type of audience on the other side they both play off of emotional issues and that includes race.

Are you really claiming that MSNBC is more overt in their leanings than Fox?

If so you really are blind, biased or both, I recognize both for which they are and I take neither at face value, its hilarious how you try to call me out for my leanings when you are doing the exact same thing concerning your leanings.

Fox does go conservative is like saying the Titanic had a little fender bender.

 

[fortsbest]

His ratings are horrid. I don't know how he keeps a show actually.

I'm not claiming they are more overt, I'm saying the people MSNBC hires are so far gone to the left it's almost worship. Remember Chris Matthews getting a tingle down his leg when Obama was elected?

And yes I do say there is some difference. MSNBC makes no bones about their allegiances and affiliations. As I said, progressivism and liberalism is even part of their motto "lean forward". Fox at least has hosts that present the alternative view on its programming. Juan Williams, Bob Bechtel, Jeraldo Rivera to name some. At least they make an attempt and "Fair and Balanced". To claim the two are completely equal is being "blind, biased or both!"
You're definition of despicable and mine must be completely different. If all Sharpton did was be a political commentator that favored the lefts views to a fault I would just consider him uninformed, biased and not so smart. He is despicable because of the other things he does and says like the things I posted. So again I say, you disagree with Hannity's views and representation of news items and politics because he puts a conservative slant on it even when race is involved. And BTW when I watched shows he did on the major racial issue events, he said the same thing I did' wait and see what the investigations turn up and don't jump to conclusions. Then as news started to come out (as in favor of the officer in Ferguson) he started to rail against those that had jumped right on the officer was guilty wagon. So I'm not sure what issue you have with that other than you thought the officer did something wrong and Brown couldn't have been at fault.

If you think Fox is not as biased if not more so than MSNBC you are simply delusional.

Chris Mathews averages about 2 Republican talking heads every show and he does not try to shout them down like Hannity and O'Reily do.

For someone that claims to not really watch Fox you sure are protective and "knowledgeable" of what they do.

Unlike you I don't hate conservatism like you hate anything that can be considered left, I realise a good democracy needs both to have a strong voice and serve to balance things out, I am grateful Obama and Democrats have not had free reign the last 8 tears.

But I also realize the current Republican party has dubious intentions when concerning how government works for everybody.

I am very interested to what will be the priorities of the Republicans now that they have control of the House and Senate it has to be more than repealling Obamacare and banning abortion.
