It's Chris Wallace. Not worth noting.
This Just In: Big Bad Wolf claims Little Red Riding Hood is evil...
Pot describes kettle as Muslim sympathizer.
Video coming up in the next segment.
BTW: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!
Wow. This poor guy isn't just trying to promote crazy town, he actually lives in crazy town.
Now that is very funny. The pot calling the kettle black. Strange they seem to think they are fair and balanced. I always thought unfair and definitely unbalanced.
MSNBC is biased, just like any MsM propaganda organ. His beef is that it isn't as consistently biased as FOX.
This site is biased. And we love it!
Biased!
hmmm
Have you seen his "hair"? Chris Wallace obviously favors the right.
Wow. I almost care!
Teh Stupid ... when will it end?
well, of course mnsbc is biased, GE would have it no other way
but that doesn't lessen or reduce the fact that faux noise is not only biased it is an organ of the GOP party. and wallace is a complete hypocrite.
while msnbc is just biased in the standard mainstream-corporate overlord type'a way.
i was talking to a friend of mine yesterday who's a republican (but not a religious, right wing zealot), and he said to me that fox and in particular o'reilly is actually worse than limbaugh. at least limbaugh is partially correct in a little bit of what he spouts as opposed to o'reilly & co. who just manufactures b.s. and gutter slime. so.. what one has to do is just consider the source....... FAUX news
And he's not. Right. Chris Wallace is a douchebag. All he needs is a 10 degree tilt on a blue Yankees cap, lobster abs, meaningless pseudo-tribal tatts, a white belt holding up expensively ripped camo jeans, a faux hawk, and an orange spray on tan with welding goggles and he'd be right in his element.
Owwww! I didn't know you get a hernia from laughing so hard... I'm off to the doctor, hope the guy isn't a fan of Fox News!
LOL!!!!!
We have to come up with a new idiom, pot calling kettle black hardly covers this one!
Hey Chris...when the chairman/Owner of NewsCorp admits to the world media at the World economic forum that his 'news station' (you know the circus you work at every day) manipulates the media, ie your boss...that's a compliment!
Chris and his Faux pals wouldn`t know bias if it bit them in the ass!
sorry...Chris, coming from you given your boss's comments that's a compliment to MSNBC!
Bitter Wallace needs to quit whining.
Chris Wallace. His father must be so proud.
Moody said of the photos, while characterizing "Fox & Friends" as an entertainment show with news. Without directly saying whether the doctored photos violated network policy, he said, "I wish they hadn't done it."
I found this segment even more telling. Note that "entertainment show with news" is a considered a perfectly valid excuse for the children on "Fox & Friends", but not for Olberman. That says all you need to know about the mentality at Fox "News". They're so far in the tank for the republicans that they don't even see their own biases anymore.
Somebody should tell that twerp, and that's what he is - a smirking twerp, that the truth has a well known Liberal bias.
Chris, your dad would like a word with you...
I know this is going to give them a bad rep but when do Hume and Wallace premier their show(s) on the cartoon channel for Chimpy and Darth??
"the blind leading the blind" -sided...
Pot calling kettle black.
i ask--seeing that msnbc airs pat buchanan constantly, michele bernard constantly, tucker carlson, joe scarborough has his own show, etc.--which way wallace thinks it is biased?
it is definitely biased: to the right, to the market fundamentalist POV
(and, while i enjoy KO, Countdown is not enough to counter the other 23 hours of msnbc programming)
Chris Wallace is correct; Fox News and MSNBC and ABC and CBS and CNN are all biased; MSM is biased; that's why more people get their news from other sources; they may watch the MSM for entertainment programming but that's all they're good for.
KO is clearly biased (not for the good either).
WakeUpAmerica! @ 27:
Why?
Democratic Party Unity (aka right wing hater) @ 14:
FOX said something?
Isn't it? Joe Lieberman today on Morning Joe was treated like a real hero. This news network is biased to the center as no other and, as we all know, the status quo we were accustomed to and conditioned is responsible for the whole mess we're in. Democratic Congress with 14% support is the best example that once and for all should convince everybody that the notion that "the right is nice, and the left is nice, so let's work something out" has not worked, isn't working and will not work in this democratic system.
MSNBC is biased to the center in a sense that it doesn't recognizes the flaws and crimes of the right or ineffectiveness of the left, the center is the excuse, the core where everything is forgiven SO WHEN Joe Lieberman or Dick Cheney comes to the media morning party, they are treated like celebrities. They f***cked up pretty much everything so they should at least explain why the government of, by and for the people has been looted and defrauded and the American people have to suffer as a consequence - CNN at least doesn't pretend it leans to the left and stays neutral - MSNBC, unfortunately, is a different fairytale with one or two exceptions.
Pouncing on KO just like they pounced on Bill Moyers and got him off PBS (for a time)...
people who live in glass houses
should get some curtains when
they sit on the throne....if you know what
i mean......lol
Isn't that just cute.
i believe we could relieve
the reichwingneocon's stress,
if we just give them all lobotomys.
it might increase their IQ's
Somedays I wish I had enough money to buy Fox News out from under Murdochs grubby nose so I can people like Wallace and Hume recite nursery rhymes all day...that's what I call "Fair and Balanced"...Take a big fall...
jenny @ 31:
msm centrist? CNN neutral?
not so much
they both lean right. in fact, they ALL lean right.
same old strategy accuse others of what you yourself are accused of.....does MSNBC claim to be fair and balanced
faux always tells what they want me to think and that is we are fair and balanced.....
this is The Pottle calling the Ket Black [sic] ...
Pot... meet Kettle... Kettle, meet Pot.
John Doe @ 39:
beat me by one minute... lol
when you have time watch the beat down bill clinton
put's on wallace interview.....youtube
wallace=w. without their fathers money and influence both would be homeless.
chris wallace, family disgrace, and the rest of the bozo's at the propaganda network wouldn't know what bias is if it jumped up and bit their nose off.
Furthermore, who gives a rat's ass what this shill thinks? I'll be bor, vannity, humus and the rest of the propaganda shills think it's biased too.
Truth hurts.....to those that feast on lies.
....I'll bet bor....
Bill (Big-Head) O'Reilly claims that he's an "opinion show" (so I guess factual information isn't really necessary). Countdown is also an "opinion show" but one thing I've noticed is: when Olbermann makes a factual error, he not only corrects it; he apologizes for the error. When was the last time you heard O'Reilly actually admit a factual error that he didn't blame someone or something else for? When Keith anchors election coverage, he pretty much sticks with the facts, analysis, etc. The difference between Olbermann and Wallace is that Olbermann is out front with his opinions; Wallace does his "reporting" under the guise that he's a credible, serious, unbiased news reporter which, of course, is a bald-faced lie.
And FUX news is clear as the driven snow...
Does anyone actually watch MSNBC anymore LOL
Krisken @ 3:
He sits on the City Council of Crazy Town, along with Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin.
Of course, O'Reilly is the mayor.
Wallace said Hannity and O'Reilly don't anchor the election coverage . SO WHAT!!! Hume, Barnes,Kondracke,Kristol,The Turds in the morning are different?? The network is owned by Rupert fucking Murdoch and Roger fucking Ailes!! They're ALL on the same RIGHT WINGNUT LUNATIC PAGE!! Karl Rove is a political analyst?That's like having O.J. give marriage advice! Fox's viewership THINKS PRESIDENT STUPID IS DOING A GOOD JOB!! Enough said.These fuckers should have their license revoked.What a disgrace Wallace is.
Incredible. Can you spell "chutzbah?"
Ron @ 28:
'Cause he shat on Hillary. BooHoo.
Here's your unbiased, blatent ...truths(?)
FOX ATTACKS: Iran
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/1279/FOX_ATTACKS__Iran/
Ummmmmmmm....OK, so this is a joke, right?
I don't watch Faux News but the few clips and articles about them I see here shows me they are no better than limpballs and other slime out there. That being said, MSNBC is biased and spewed so much hatred for both Clintons during the primary and gave Obama a virtual bj every minute of every hour that I have refused to watch them since. Same with most of CNN so thank goodness for blogs, some magazines and newspapers where I can still get real news. Olbermann literally turned into O'Reilly right before our eyes during this time. All references comparing him to Murrow are now just an insult to Murrow and what he stood for.
MSNBC is biased in favor of reality. A right wing propaganda machine can only see every other media outlet as left of them. I'm not quite sure what could be further right than FUX.
Walter Sobcek @ 1:
Agreed. But this site is about pointing out network talking heads and their multiple layers of retardation, so there you go, for what it is worth.
Yes they are biased. I gave up on MSNBC. Unless I want to watch reruns of "Lockup" and "To Catch a Predator".
just because chris wallace, the propagandist-in-chief, said it, doesn't make it any less valid. in fact, every news outlet is inherently biased.
there is no such thing as unbiased, objective news. period.
in fact, just standing in front of a phenomenon, while observing it, changes the behavior of said phenomenon. it's simply physics.
here, this ought to go over well at C&L:
crooks & liars is biased.
[Geez, you'd think that we never admitted that. Obviously you haven't read the commenting policy. Or this post from this past Sunday. This isn't a news site, it's an op-ed site. Here's a suggestion- if you don't like what you read at any blog, anywhere, start your own. We aren't going to hold you back, Captain Obvious. Thank you. Site Monitor]
The msm are beside themselves trying to be "first" in reporting who Obama's choice for VP will be. Just now David Schuster was talking to someone about Bayh and Nunn traveling with Obama and "who sat with Obama and who did Obama seem to be really close to?" Idiots! And Schuster now has a poll on MSNBC for people to submit who they think would be the best choice. WTF They are all speculating who the VP will be. Hope Obama keeps them guessing right up til the last minute. (Just not Hillary!) Used to kinda like Schuster and felt sorry for him when the Clintons came down so hard on him but now am thinking he is no smarter than all the other pundits we see on a regular basis on MSNBC. Maybe I am just getting sick and tired of the campaigns. You think?
It's true!
With the exception of Olbermann, who represents main stream views, MSNBC is biased to the right.
Bluesage @ 55:
You're kidding, right? I watched MSNBC religiously during the primaries and the most prominent and consistent coverage was on the Obama/Wright circus. And if Olbermann called the Clintons on their bullshit on his program, I say it was more than deserved and long-overdue. As I recall, calling politicians on their bullshit is exactly what Murrow did.
There is a bias throughout the corporate media towards advancing the interests of the Corporate State. In the Corporate State, corporate media are State Media. As such, every utterance every clip, every commercial, every jod ant tittle must--MUST--be regarded, prima facie, as propaganda the sole and only purpose of which is to advance the hegemonic interests of the Corporate State. It should be apparent by now that the same thing is true for the allegedly competing CorpoRat political parties as is true of the allegedly competing CorpoRat press. Deny it all you like, both parties offer the same general plan: the "National-Security State--increased corporat/State surveillance, more authoritarianism, fewer civil rights, fewer social services--at home while conducting opportunistic, militaristic interventions abroad. They only differ at the margins, and to some extent in the means they'd employ to achieve the ends (and in that, not very much, if you check it): Dims & Pukes agreed to torture, war, and the destruction of the Constitution.
Everyone is biased as long as they're sucking oxygen. You want unbiased then check with the morgue. What is offensive is media types who pretend they are unbiased. For the record Fox News does not even employ journalists. They employ PR flacks.
Peter G @ 63:
Exactly! And woody, take a break from the Chosmky, man! We get it!
kent, to judge by the comments, those NOT getting it far out-number those who do. Not Chomsky, Gramsci, btw...and Althusser, later..
I personally would rather poke out my own eyes than willingly watch FAUX noose. I believe at the height of the Soviet Union's strength, Pravda was more likely to report "fair and balanced" news than the fascists at FAUX!
Nothing on Faux Noise is ever worth noting, unless your an ignorant, bogoted, hateful Reslug fool.
Projection .
This sounds like the classic example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Kent Weed @ 63:
****
If Olbermann is so unbiased then he should call Obama on his bullshit, too. Since he doesn't, he is biased. Do you get it now?
They are biased. The thing is Fox News is prejudiced.
The difference is bias means if you CAN report it a certain way, while still being truthful, you will.
Prejudiced means they are going to report it their way no matter the facts.
Chris who?
Except for their token gesture at legitimate journalism with Countdown, MSNBC is biased...towards fascism. Aside from Olbermann's spot, it is a neocon propaganda network which exists soley to manipulate it's unfortunate viewers into accepting and supporting things that work against their best interests and well-being.
Wallace's accusation is a red herring designed to make it look as if their were a qualitative difference betweenthe two corporations. There isn't. In fact, News Corporation and GE/NBC just entered into a strategic alliance/partnership in their launching of a joint venture they are calling HULU. The enemy unites.
Having Faux News say that someone else is biased, is like a pyromaniac teaching fire safety
WakeUpAmerica! @ 72:
Yes it is biased, which given the relative dearth of "Liberal" reporting,is a good thing.
FOX however isn't simply "biased".They mislead,misinform and outright lie on a daily basis.
Chris Wallace will be one of the worst persons on Kieth. Stay tuned.
Wasn't John kicking around the idea of a page devoted to the obvious bias (with citations) of all the newspeople? What happened to it?
In other news, when asked about their longstanding rivalry, The Pot was quoted as saying, "Have you seen the kettle? IT's FUCKING BLACK!"
The Crapture @ 81:
and the witter is.....
MSNBC *is* biased. Most of you just like what you hear there, so you don't acknowledge it.
In short, you're not unlike Fox viewers.
Ian @ 83:
Speaking of pot/kettle black, aren't you blogging on C&L? I haven't heard anyone here refuse to acknowledge a bias on MSNBC, regardless of what type of bias they think it is. The issue here is hypocricy, not bias, but thanks for further illustrating how hypocricy works.
Bud "Terrorist Fist Jab" Hussein @ 21:
His Dad probably ignores him like most of the rest of the world.
I just choked on my cereal. There's a soggy cornflake hanging outa my nose now. Thanks a lot Chris Wallace.
So I read this article the entire time wondering to myself, wow, I thought Biggie was dead and certainly not a conservative.
