havent watched this episode of the fifth estate, I'll watch it tonight when I get home, thanks

It's disgusting how some figures in the media operate. Coulter showed up a few times already and I got so angry at her whole "We're winning! They're losing!" childish mentality.

I'm sorry, but this isn't a game. What you people put on the airwaves or net does affect people. **** you, Ms. Coulter.

I'm watching as I type this and I have to say this is a VERY good video to watch. As far as I can tell it is fairly unbiased.

It will probably give some new insights for a lot of people here whether they are "liberals" or "conservatives" in the American sense.

 

[The Monkey]

I thought all american debates were stages, and that they all were more or less prepared on the questions...

 

[Tr0n]

Ann Coulter is so damn stupid...

 

[Gray Fox]

But you know you'd like to whip her

 

[seinfeldrules]

So far they've gone after O'Reilly and Coulter, I'm waiting for them to analyze those on the left. They must be next. Oh wait, I just reached the part when they begin kissing Al Franken's ass. For an 'unbiased' piece, they seem to suck up to liberals quite a bit. This guy is clearly fooling himself, he is just as bad as anybody else.

I dislike this straight splitting into liberal and conservative as I dislike splitting into white and black. There are a lot of gray colourings too.

Hmm, Caulter, shoudn't she better go to see a doctor? So embittered and confusing facts

O'Reilly, YOU shut up! (what a "polite" person...).
It's simply not fair if a moderator invites someone into his show and then let's him not speak. As I think, most people dislike unfair people, so I really don't get it how this man can find any people which listen to him.

We here concerning the manner to discuss are doing better than they do.

And Marsden, she even "doesn't know" obvious facts ...


What clowns...

 

[Tr0n]

But you know you'd like to whip her

Damn straight. :naughty:

 

[Kangy]

Good great Mantis. Coulter is a ****ing clueless moron, and in any other country she'd be first against the wall. Her definitions and almost facist beliefs are incredible.

 

[Ikerous]

They can say Fruck on canadian tv...?

2nd'ed

She's a complete nutbar.

 

[Kangy]

What gets me is the way she throws around "unpatriotic". Seems she doesn't even know what she means, because she's about as true to the spirit of "freedom and happiness for any American citizen" as, well... arresting people for thinking out of line.

I got the feeling that it was fairly biased, but I'll shut up as my views are a political minority on this forum.

Ya it definitaly became biased after the first 1/3 was done. Like I said I posted that as I was watching and it was still pretty unbiased at the time.

Still brings up some very good points and makes Coulter look like a moron so I still like it.

Nitpick: Coulter makes herself look like a moron. They just showed it to us.

 

[SAJ]

That was a very smug, sloppy piece of journalism.

What a detailed and in depth analysis. I'm impressed. In fact, I'm so impressed that I'm just going to accept your conclusion at face value even though you didn't give me a single actual reason to do so!

 

[jondy]

You've just ruined my online sarcasm detector

 

[SAJ]

Ouch!
Ok , not much of an analysis, but not meant to be really, just an opinion.
I mean , what did you expect , a five thousand word essay?
I watched the whole thing and what did I learn ? :
Anne Coultier is a childish idiot (astounding) Al Franken cries and is patriotic (gosh) Bill Oreilly(sp) likes to say "shut up" alot very loudly and believes patriotism equals unquestioning obedience to the government.
The whole program was more "infotainment" than real journalism , and I stand by my use of sloppy as it pertains to the journalists making themselves part of the story(point in case, that whole "troops in vietnam , no they werent" part).
I will give it some credit, to be fair ,if you had no idea about the rise of the (far)right in US media , then the program had some useful (if slanted) background and history in it. Unfortunately , Im depressingly familiar with this trend, and felt as though I was being spoon-fed an opinion rather than having my preconceptions challenged.
But then, thats just my opinion really.


ps: In case I got the name wrong, Bill Oreily is the fox news guy that tore into the anti war relative of a sept 11th victim , right?

You can be right for the wrong reasons... that does not justify those reasons in the least.
