No, because you're the only one on this forum that matters, and you already know everything I'm going to say before I even say it.
BTW, the solution you keep asking about is the thread itself: information.

No, I don't know everything you're going to say before you say it, but people were calling Foxnews out on being bias nearly 8 years ago. If you continue to say things that have been in conventional wisdom for 8 years, yeah I, along with everyone else will probably know what you're going to say before you say it.

I'm not sure either.

p.s. Big3, in case you read this. I'm calling you out as being a hypocrite, because just a few weeks ago, you made a thread called, 'do you like politics?' which I can only assume was meant to further the politicaly discourse. Then, you attack me for doing just that. Yeah, we already know FoxNews is biased. Don't act like just because you know something, that everyone else must already know it, too.

You can only assume it was meant to further the political discourse?

Why can you only assume that? Because you didn't read the ****ing thing? It was a link to a political forum, in other words, take the politics where its respected and where it belongs.

Not on musicbanter.

And I'd be willing to bet everyone else on these boards knew fox news was bias.

Did anyone see my link by the way, I thought it was brilliant.

Hey, did you ever hear of this one?
You win, I lose!

Did you notice this is The Lounge, and that doesn't refer to lounge music. We're allowed to post anything we like in here. I mean everyone but me. Just because I didn't go to MIT, I'm not allowed to share revelations that I have. I'm sure most people have heard that it's biased, but I wasn't just parroting, I cited my own examples.

Yeah, I based myself on a Canadian stereotype, even though on the show, they were interviewing actual physical real live Canadians. You realize that's possible don't you. God, I don't even know why I'm trying to keep up with you and Big3.

violent crime and gun crime are not the same thing. your claim was that violent crime in canada was virtually non-existant. i see your foxnews spin skills are still very functional. at least i owned up to being wrong about the gun crime thing, the violent crime stat is still accurate.

as for a show that interviews real deal people. ever heard of the 'rick mercer report' it's what the daily show doesn't have the balls to be. anyway he sometimes heads down south to interview 'real' americans. you wouldn't believe the amount of idiocy broadcast back to viewers. senators congratulating toronto for finally paving all their streets. people on the street cheering the fact that all provinces now have running water... you can stack any show you want with whatever slant you want to push - and it doesn't always end up being broadcast on fox.

A couple of active trolls are an essential component for any thriving bbs. They are probably more important than 10 of you and me taken together.

Fox news is a joke channel... others can be just as bad sometimes. But they are all told what to say and the information is filtered through the owners and people controlling them. It all comes down to entertainment rather than information and it's partially the fault of the people. You watch Fox News and it's just like "people are out there watching this right now? They believe this? Are they serious?" I hate people

I meant in Massachusetts, not the national health care system. I'm not Dan Quayle. Apparently your states educational program sucks ass.
