If you never thought that the media was a "propaganda outlet" - then you deserve to be lied to because you bring it on yourself.

Okay, for example, we have one network that says Bush is an idiot, and you agree with it so you watch it.

We have another network that says Bush is actually not that bad, and others agree with it so they watch it.

Excuse me while I go focus on something worth my time

Of course it is a propaganda network, we all have different opinions even journalists and we express them and then we as viewers like the journalists with similar opinions as ours.

There is nothing wrong with that.

What that report proves once and for all, is that the White House gives Fox News SCRIPTS to read and tells them exactly what to say.

well there is something wrong with that. journalists are not supposed to give their opinion. they should be objective and leave their political views out of their reporting. the sad thing is that journalists and reports giving their opinion has become such a normal thing that we except it.

one of the things scott said in his hardball interview is that everyone in washington uses people to their advantage. it has been believed that the DNC does the same thing to networks like msnbc that is being accused in this clip. so are you mad that a political party, or both parties, uses a network for their advantage or are you mad that it is coming fromt he bush adminstration and it is fox news?

also, does one man saying this goes on actually prove anything? it is just his words, he doesn't actually offer any proof. it has been said by many people that have been close to scott that he is angry with bush and his adminstration so could he just be getting back at them for something? or is he just trying to sell his book? which puts money into his pocket.

Oh come on - it doesn't need to be proved. It's a tool and they use it.

If you really want to talk about how nasty a government can be - just look at Putin and the Russian media - but nobody cares about that since America is the world's super star that everyone loves to hate.

The outcome of the American elections and the US in general effects the rest of the world every single day, so we have a right to care.

What Puttin does in Russia has no effect on my day to day life unless he starts a world war or invades an oil nation causing my fuel prices to go up even further, then perhaps I will care as much about the Russian government as I do the US one.

Don't be so sure there buddy. It's a game of RISK - and when a country with surplus of weapons sells those weapons to nations in areas where it's unstable - it sure as hell has effect on you - you just don't see it in the news.

So, please - go take the America's election has a huge effect on me cliche somewhere else. We've all heard it.

You're still focused on the wrong thing - you are blinded by the whole Bush thing. People act like Bush is the first US president to do bad things. Governments of different nations has been doing this kind of shit way before we were born. And I'm just gonna assume here but you probably live off the benefits of those bad actions.

Sleep tight.

^^ Right now I can barely afford to fuel my car (it's a v8) and I blame that on oil prices and I blame that on the actions of the US government.

Im sorry but that is my major concern every day. I spend $150 a week on petrol minimum. Right now I am considering selling my car and getting a 4 cylinder, and that is the major issue in my life right now. Im not one to worry about arms races and this and that, it is out of my control, and I prefer to live life and hope for the best, but the price of petrol is a big concern because it impacts me every day.

^He has a point.

This whole thing didn't surprise me nor does it really bother me. They can get all the talking points they want. What bothers me is when they blur the line between fact and opinion. That's the real issue.

See, that's what pisses me off about the public's attitude

they're like - yeah, war is bad, stop war - bush is a liar.

yeah, our sons and daughters are dying, bring them home - fuck bush.

BUT WAIT! THIS FUEL COST THING IS TAKING A CHUNK OUT OF MY WALLET!!! DAMN YOU GEORGE BUSH AND AMERICA!!!!!!!! WORST PRESIDENT EVER!

Have you ever heard of global warming? Whether you believe in it or not is your choice but petro needs to go - why don't we turn a negative into a positive and make little changes. Open up those windows in the summer time. Stay home on the weekends - whatever - just don't get wrapped up into this kind of bullshit. Like I said - there are far worse problems in the world - Fox News and their crap is the last thing we should be focused on.

Iraq is our generation's Vietnam - so naturally, the youth wants to rebel. Makes them feel empowered.

I'm probably going to catch some hate for this - but did you know that Vietnam is a booming country? Highly educated work force. Plenty of investment potential for foreign corporations and plenty of resources to tap into. And the country sits on a strategic position. (RISK anyone?) - The young Vietnamese do not have any memories of the war - and I'm sure many of them are benefiting off the past events - events that were horrifying.

Does that make it alright? Probably not, but just something to think about.
