As someone, who doesn't lives in the US, I can say; Fox News is the infamoust tv-channel, that comes from the US!
Not sure about MSNBC though. I will go to wikipedia later.

Meh, Fox and MSNBC are pretty much just flip sides of the same coin. Folks rarely call BS on other folks they already agree with.

Anyone who watches Morning Joe can attest to this. MSNBC is almost as full of conservative bullshit as Fox.

All the real liberals watch Al Jazeera.

I, and most of the intellectuals who I know, that also still watch TV, ignore the talking heads and tend just to read the ticker at the bottom.

As a libertarian myself, I can tell you I hate MSNBC more than Fox News. Not a lot more, mind you. But more.

MSNBC = Ultra-Liberal
Fox News = Ultra-Conservative
CNN = Somewhat Left-Leaning but overall in the middle.

This is equally true of any mainstream American news network. But there's no such thing as "ultra liberal" mainstream news in the US any more than the Democratics are left-wing. Some are just less right-wing than others.

Yeah, democrats are so left-wing that they cave on every request Republicans make of them. Democrats are so left wing that they couldn't even pass government health care last year and instead passed a watered-down turd of a bill that relies on the private sector (that thing right-wingers worship unconditionally.) Democrats are so left-wing that Obama's new jobs plan cuts public programs while refusing to raise taxes on billionaires.

Democrats are about as left-wing as Applejack is.

^ implying they aren't. You must not pay that much attention. "Democrats" "Republicans" they are all pretty much corporate whores.

Oh and MSNBC being "ultra-liberal"? That's bullshit. No ultra-liberal station would have a conservative on for three hours every weekday morning. Are they more liberal? Yeah. Ultra? No. But then again the political spectrum has moved so far to the right that a once true central position is now viewed as "far left".

That being said Van_Horsing most likely has it correct.

Democrats are only left-wing in America, which as a whole is shifted ideologically to the right. Conservative parties in much of the rest of the first world are closer to your Democrats, and liberal parties are actually left-of-centre most of the time.

While I'm sure there are some Democrats who might skew left, they're in the minority and are probably unimportant members of the party. In the end, both Democrats and Republicans cater to more-or-less the same interest groups, favour large corporations over small businesses and individuals, and neither have much interest in improving the lives of American citizens (or if they do it's certainly not at the top of their priorities).

^^ Well heres the thing. Republicans dont want high taxes. they want to cut taxes so it would make life a little easier for the middle and high class. 2nd. that heath care system that the president passed is falling apart because some of the laws that say in the bill are unconstitutional and that has stirred controversy. I am totally against this bill and to get on topic Im against MSNBC totally. They taint the news sources to a point where they cause scare tactics that you wouldn't believe.

^ Republicans say they want low taxes, sure. Vote them in and watch your taxes stay the same or go up, just as they would under any other politician. Or if certain taxes go down, others will go up to compensate; ones you may not be as aware of paying, and not as likely to complain about.

Once a government is accustomed to income, they won't give it up... that goes for left, right, or centre.

And neither Republicans nor Democrats have any interest in "making life easier for the middle and [upper] class" (this depends on your definition of "upper class" when it comes to the Republicans, though). Anyone who believes otherwise is deluded.

well you are right in some remarks. because our government doesnt care what we say. in fact, they dont listen to the people anymore. and this because the country is on a verge of becoming a third world s o c i a l i s t state and worse. the new world order. we need to wake up and act

Either way we're screwed, we all in the end side with the one we deduced to hurt us less or isn't as stupid from our view. I side with the right because my beliefs go with theirs.

I do fear the next generation though as we can clearly see they are likely get their news from the things like Daily Show...ugh.

Has anyone realized we've been debating about politics on ponibooru for about....3+ hours now? (I slip in a lot to cure my head from doing work from home)

The state of your country has little do with social-ism. Your biases are well-known, zgrillo; we all remember your political trolling a few months back and your petulant whining. It's people like you, and especially people who think like you that occupy positions in the government, who are the real problem facing your country. You're all far more interested in blaming and screaming at eachother across the aisle, and pinning sole responsibility for the country's predicament on an opposing ideology, than you are in understanding, fixing or even facing the real issues.

so I take it that you comparing me to the current situation the politicians are squaking about. very cute...... Some of the stuff I say is in fact true and you know that. The problem right now is jobs and the economy. Bush actually destroyed the economy and I felt stupid for voting for him. now Obama made it worse and hes like a president without a brain
Doctor_Whooves

Not even Bush did this single-handed. This is the result of several decades of poor economic planning and decision-making. All Bush did was push it over the edge with his pathetic "war". But it would've happened eventually, regardless.

I'm really not sure what you expect Obama to do. Undo 30 years in 4? Even an absolute dictator would find that a challenge; but a President whose actual power is rather limited and faces an opposition that's decided to block virtually everything regardless of what it says? Yeah, good luck with that, lol. The economy never had a chance.

He has his faults, but calling him a "dumb idiot" says more about your intellect than his. The man was a success in his field before becoming President and he attended ivy league schools. He's certainly not stupid.

He's not. It's getting worse, sure, but no one man can claim responsibility for that. The power of the President isn't quite as expansive as many seem to believe (by the design of your own forefathers). What's happening now is a very unfortunate combination of circumstances, including a President who has adopted a policy of appeasement and attempted compromise towards the opposing party since day 1, which isn't a bad thing in itself since it's usually better to have politicans working together, but proves useless when you have an opposition determined to block every and any legislation they can, regardless of its content. And all this happening immediately after a pointless, massively expensive war that managed to exacerbate decades of hare-brained, short-term, and downright selfish economic planning on the part of past administrations representing both parties. You've all dug your own pit together.

The idea that Obama had a policy of compromise since day 1 is a complete crock. When his party controlled the congressional majority, he refused to compromise on anything. He forced everything he could, as quick as he could, to further his own agenda. Now that he can't, he's grudgingly compromising on some things and complaining about it all the while.

Which history books have you been reading exactly? Wars are good for economies. The cause of our current woes rests mostly on irresponsible lending practices by banks. Lending practices that they were mandated to put into action by democrats in congress since 1977.

How the government plans its own budget has little effect on the economy other than the tax rate stifling growth. But when the government starts creating ridiculous regulations on private business, then things start getting bad.
