It's amazing how people like Shark Bait don't understand that no one, including Jon Stewart, believes that Jon Stewart, a comedian, is in the news business like someone of the likes of Walter Cronkite or David Brinkley truly amazing, as well as sad.

Stewart is a satirist who states that he has no journalistic responsibility and that as a comedian his only duty is to provide entertainment. At least Stewart is honest about what he is, unlike others...

It's amazing how people on the right have no problem elevating Fox News, a bunch of entertainers, to the stature of someone of the likes of Walter Cronkite or David Brinkley truly amazing, as well as sad.

What's most interesting is when watching Jon Stewart do his satire on Comedy Central, you actually do come away with some news.

When watching O'Reilly or Hannity or the brainless bimbettes on Fox News, you come away with mostly partisan O-hate laughable horseshit.

"Brainless bimbettes"..........wives, mothers, all accomplished and smart........much more so than the non-windsurfing troll. Yet, once again, he dismisses conservative women in despicable terms. What a pathetic fool.

I heard him criticize a couple of newscasters.
When did he insult all conservative women?

Assigning opinions to other posters that they do not hold is kinda useless.

Not all newscasters on Fox are conservative.
I was interviewed by Greta Susteren, a Fox newscaster.
She seemed to be a moderate who reads whatever she is paid to read.
I think you may find that many people in the media get so much info on both sides that they drift away from holding strong political positions and just read their lines.

I find this true among many well informed people. It is hard to be an extremist when you actually know what's going on.

Maybe they took a page from your book, Mr. G.

Did they take your crayons when they took that page?

Running Scared: Maryland Democrats Play The Race Card
12:02 PM 10/23/2014

Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown was supposed to have an easy victory this November. The Democrat in a state with a two-to-one voter registration advantage over Republicans was expected to coast to victory in the deeply blue state and become its first African-American governor. That’s not shaping up to be the case.

Brown is still favored to win, but polls have it much closer than conventional wisdom thought it would be. Republican challenger Larry Hogan is within single digits and gaining steam.

The unpopularity of Gov. Martin O’Malley, and Brown’s leadership in the state’s failed $288 million health-care exchange website, have hampered what was expected to be a coronation.

Anthony Brown has performed poorly in each of the candidate’s three debates, and his campaign ads have been mostly negative attacks on Hogan, a small business owner and founder of the non-profit Change Maryland. He’s also been accused of ducking the media. He even got the name of one of the state’s largest cities wrong, saying he visited “Fredricktown.” The city is Fredrick. This led to a parody song mocking him.

Enthusiasm for Brown is low.

All these factors appear to have led to the Democratic Party of Maryland to panic.

A new mailer with the authority line “Paid for by the Maryland Democratic Party” targets black voters by tying Republicans to the Democratic Party’s racist past.

The mailer’s front page reads, “It’s been a long journey…” over a picture of Martin Luther King and civil rights marchers.

The next page reads, “They’ve placed roadblocks in our path at every turn.” It features pictures of a “colored waiting room” sign, a “must show ID to vote,” sign, racists marching against civil rights, and Donald Trump superimposed over a billboard reading “Where’s the birth certificate?” At the bottom it reads, “In Maryland, it’s our turn to take an important step in the journey…”

That leads to the next page, reading, “Vote for Anthony Brown as Maryland’s first African-American Governor.” And includes, “History is watching to see if we vote.”

The mailer was sent to an African-American woman in Silver Spring, Md., who was appalled and tweeted it. The woman, known as FreedomGrilRN on Twitter, told me, “Do you think they sent this out to WHITES? Of course not. This was addressed to my husband –>Democrat and 1of my daughters- Independent.

Historically, the use of race in this manner is a sign of worried campaign, who have access to internal polling the general public does not. We’ve seen it this cycle in North Carolina, where parishioners at a black church received fliers using images of a lynching and warning if Democrat Kay Hagan loses President Obama will be impeached, and Georgia, where Democrats told voters to vote for Democrats “to prevent another Ferguson.” Now we see it in the very, very blue Maryland.

Bard, did you know that Guillory became a Democrat from 2007 to 2013 when it suited his game plan? He's just another career politician looking out for his future and little else.

Regarding is ad against Kay Hagan, the thrust of the message is that the government isn't doing enough for black folks, and that Hagan is just another Democrat using blacks for their vote. Of course, at the same time he brings up the trumped up illusion about blacks moving from one plantation to the next highlighting the Republican meme about their dependency on government handouts. How conveniently he plays both sides of the street to send his empty message.

Overall, I have to wonder why, as a state senator for Louisiana, is he participating in an attack ad targeting Hagan in a US Senatorial race in North Carolina. Also, as a black Republican, what does he have to offer anybody. In his ad running for the lieutenant governor of Louisiana, he appears to be offering the old well worn Republican talking points of less spending, less government, 2nd amendment rights, and traditional family values. As I see it, he's offering absolutely nothing, and is simply fishing for folks that will vote against their own interests.

Charles Barkley

“As I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people,” Barkley told radio host Anthony Garano on Philadelphia’s WIP.
“One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough,” Barkley said. “If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person."

Are you insinuating that CSPAN is racist? Are you insinuating that CSPAN is left leaning?

How 'bout some facts for a change:

http://www.c-span.org/about/faq/

"How many calls does "Washington Journal" air? The program strives to take about 60 callers per three-hour program-another way that callers are emphasized over comments and questions from the C-SPAN host. That translates into more than 400 calls per week - which works out roughly to 20,000 calls per year."

The host monitors the time for each caller and cuts them off when they have exceeded their time. Callers are not permitted to monopolize the air time with their ramblings. Watch this segment of the same program and see that no one got more on air time than Grandma. http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4512031/82-year-old-democrat-votes-straight-republican

How does this demonstrate racism?
