Report: 'Truce' reached in Fox News-White House war
Posted: Oct 29, 2009
For the record, when I post posts such as this, I do it to try to encourage debate on the issue at hand. I've read complaints on this board that people don't do that, so I'm trying to do it. I don't appreciate being called names or being negatively judged as a person by people who don't even know me. This post is for people who are interested in discussing the issue, whether they're pro-Fox or anti-Fox, pro-Obama or anti-Obama. I would hope there wouldn't be any drive-by insults and name-calling, though I'm realistic enough to know there probably will be. (By the way, at the risk of offending/angering those complete strangers who claim to know me and my motives, I'm also pro-Shep Smith.)

RIGHT - we get why you post about Fox News all of the time... - Shep is a DEM!...nm

I post about it because it is a topic that is in the news. (sm) - Nikki
[ In Reply To ..]I had no idea that Smith was a democrat. I don't know anything about his personal/political life. All I know is that I like him because he IS fair and balanced.
Nikki~ - Colleen
[ In Reply To ..]Boy, they never fail to provide a kneejerk reaction, do they?
No, they don't. LOL! (sm) - Nikki
[ In Reply To ..]It makes me wonder how they're able to walk!
At least without breaking their jaws! LOL! - Colleen
[ In Reply To ..]Don't you ever get tired of this silliness? I sure do. I sometimes stay off for a few days because I hate being reminded how narrow-minded, and in some cases, out-and-out stupid and ignorant people are. Frustrates me.
Yes, it is tiresome. I've spent a few days off recently (sm) - Nikki
[ In Reply To ..]It wasn't my choice, but it was good for me, for my peace of mind. I truly feel sorry for some of these people because they seem so unhappy most of the time and have to berate others for some reason to feel better about themselves.
I've decided to just ignore them, though. Their posts speak for themselves.
Yeah, I am getting the full-frontal attack right now - Colleen
[ In Reply To ..]from one of your followers. I am done responding though. You are right. I know I am capable of being pushed here to the point of anger but it seems some lash out so routinely and with SUCH hatred and anger that I wonder what it must be like to live with them. Glad I don't need to find out.
Right there with ya - NJ
[ In Reply To ..]I may respond to hateful posts, but if the thread keeps degenerating because of one hateful poster, I move on. MoveOn, yah, that's the ticket!
However, I notice the board has toned down somewhat from what it used to be like. I suspect thoughtful debate is scary to some who have disappeared ;)
NJ
You are right, and it is too bad. - Colleen
[ In Reply To ..]This person just threatened to report me to the moderator. I figure, whatever. You know though, I thought it was better myself for awhile but it seems to be starting back up again. Maybe I am wrong~I hope so.
To NJ and Colleen: I'm sorry this is happening to you, too. (sm) - Nikki
[ In Reply To ..]I really enjoy both of your posts. They're thought provoking and invite debate. You're both even in your temperaments, and I never see hateful anger in your posts, yet I've seen you accused of just that. I believe you both add significantly to this board and hope you both keep posting. It's unfortunate that some prefer to call names and treat people badly instead of simply engaging in a debate.
Can I have an Amen!?!? - Colleen
[ In Reply To ..]Unfortunately, I think it is a realistic reflection of how people are talking to each other all over the country right now. However, I also think that the side that is the loudest is also in the minority.
Thanks for the post, Nikki.
You got it! A BIG AMEN, yes!! (sm) - Nikki
[ In Reply To ..]I couldn't agree more. From what I've read and seen in poll results, they represent 20% to 25% of the country, around the same number that still support Bush. It's the anger that worries me, and it seems to be getting worse. Thanks for your post. :-)
Delusional - better read some more! - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
Nope, we just don't want to argue with you guys. It's USELESS! - Have fun!...nm

The Battle Between The White House And Fox NewsOct 20, 2009
The Obama administration, which would seem to have its hands full with a two-front war in Iraq and Afghanistan, opened up a third front last week, this time with Fox News. Until this point, the conflict had been mostly a one-sided affair, with Fox News hosts promoting tax day “tea parties” that focused protest on the new president, and more recently bringing down the presidential adviser Van Jones through rugged coverage that caught the administration, and other news organizations, ...
