The "Liberal" Media

This feeds into my long standing suspicion that the extreme right wing talking heads (e.g. Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh) don't really believe in the stuff coming out of their mouth. They are in it for the $$$$.At least with Chris Mathews, Olberman, and Maddow you know that they actually believe in what they are saying whether you agree or disagree with their opinions.

I actually like Tucker, even if I disagree with his political views. You can tell that he has thought things through. I am not sure what to think of O'Reilly, but Hannity and Rush I have a hard time believing. I just can't picture a sane person saying the things that they say other than attempt to increase ratings. Hannity's obsession with "Obama is the "Messiah"" thing just baffled me.

What I find funny is that they call Obama a Muslim Marxist who has too many Czar's in his administration. The irony abounds.

The recent nuclear arms treaty with Russia is getting Fox all in a twitter. The treaty states that the US will not bomb a non-nuclear country, nor threaten the use of nuclear arms. Hannity and Gingrich are claiming that this treaty will prevent us from retaliating against a biochemical attack with nuclear weapons, or from nuking Iran. Both claims are the exact opposite of what is found in the treaty. The treaty clearly states that the US can opt out of the agreement if they are attacked with biochemical weapons of mass destruction, and the agreement does not extend to countries who are in violation or not a part of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.Leave it to Fox to report the exact opposite of reality when it comes to Obama.

Actually, I would expect that the more famous pundits on Fox have high IQ's. Do you really think that someone with a low IQ would be able to manipulate that many viewers?
