That's what they do.<BR/><BR/>However, others who call themselves 'journalists' like Matthews, etc., are held to a higher standard.Karen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692791436106987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-2091407973187834052008-05-14T10:17:00.000-06:002008-05-14T10:17:00.000-06:00Karen, thanks for wading through all the news and ...Karen, thanks for wading through all the news and giving your views.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't heard that about the Fox employee either. <BR/><BR/>I really like what Juan Williams had to say on FoxNews. To me right now he is one of the clearer thinkers.<BR/><BR/>And Barbara Walters is just so passe.

However on the opposite side Hannity's radio show constantly states "Stop Hillary" and/or "Stop Obama". Do we distinguish between news shows and shows that are opinion. (which is where I lump most of the talking heads).

I think Obama is in real trouble with the regular voters, especially middle class white voters who don't fall for his fluff and no substance, say one thing and have advisors say privately he doesn't mean it, kind of old politics. They realize that he's just another product of the Chicago machine. He didn't count on being exposed so early.Karen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692791436106987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-26467892349067132252008-05-14T04:31:00.000-06:002008-05-14T04:31:00.000-06:00I lost respect for Barbara WaWa a long time ago, s...I lost respect for Barbara WaWa a long time ago, so her revelation that she was in an adulterous relationship doesn't surprise me.

I am sure there are libs who will think the firing was to save their reputation as to why she was hired in the first place...she was probably hot and conservative. <BR/>BABS WAWA is a clown. She has gone from respected journalist to sensation queen. Her show the view is the worst show on TV...she gives a sounding board to lame liberals and hires a weak conservative...I agree can it already old lady and stick to news telling not tales from the bedroom...:)NNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506161645223765063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-19087647740369406252008-05-13T20:28:00.000-06:002008-05-13T20:28:00.000-06:00Z,The Fox woman was fired, according to what I rea...Z,<BR/>The Fox woman was fired, according to what I read, because it is not ethical behavior to tell a candidate that he/she has your vote as they are suppose to be non-partisan. That's what I took from it anyway.
