I don't even feel like discussing why this comment is so useless. Of course I have my own bias, but I would agree that MSNBC is more left and Fox is more right just as you listed below. So is my bias somewhat near yours because I agree with you? No, we just both see the general bias that each news station has because it is so easy to spot.

MSNBC is the leftier group
Fox is the right-leaning group.
CNN is in the middle of those two.

I would definitely say CNN is a little left of the middle, but I agree on the general idea.

As for the "cynical democrat" comment, only a pro-survivalist would look at the current situation and say "no you know what, the rich man...he's doing alright by the little guy."

A lot of rich are corrupt right now. The intervention in the economy has corrupted them, (though I do believe in free choice.) My problem is that you think doing the same thing which corrupted them, not allowing them to reap all the benefits of their work, is the cure. I am not for business men who find ways to cheat and steal. However, they aren't even allowed to pursue happiness and achieve their highest potential anymore so I completely see why they would do such a thing.

Where do you live? And do you meet people who don't have a ****ing pot to piss in? I work non-profit and as part of my job, i meet the worst this economy has coughed up on our doorsteps.

Awesome. I hope you have fun being a slave. I personally don't like it to much, so it would be pretty stupid of me to do it. It seems like you don't like it too much either since you are boasting about how many poor people you see at your job. Maybe you should quit...

I just don't get this simplisitc "if you just live your life correctly, everything will be fine" mentality.

That is because you believe in materialism. You probably believe, along with the rest of the democrats, that the poor man can never become happy until he has X amount of dollars. I believe quite the contrary.
