farenheit 9/11 ... sorry neo cons .
any film that gets a 15 min standing ovation must be worth watching.
i wonder if bush will go see it?!

While I'm taking my lumps, I deserve a good ass kicking from dubla too. He pm'd me that website or one just like it recently, and I didn't think the first couple of arguments had merit, so I didn't read further to the hard evidence of the NRA canceling events in Denver.
officially dismissed! .......he did post some hard facts on his site about moores twisting of the facts, but some of his other points definitely seemed debatable.

It's highly likely that certain republican elements only want to hear what they want to hear and not what the reality is.
i actually agree, to a certain degree, with this statement. not that i think fox or any other news channel is reporting something completely outside the realm of "reality", as you imply here, but that i could see republicans tuning into fox, which is slanted to the right, and liberals tuning into cnn, which is slanted to the left. its got something to do with human nature, imo. personally, i watch cnn....and when doing so, i understand that the the majority of journalists are liberal, especially when compared to the public. they may emphasize one story over another out of agenda, but all the big news gets through regardless.

No doubt Fox at the time peddled the view that he was an illustrious and valuable ally, holding back the forces of iran
youre in over your head here. fox news wasnt even around until 1996.
fact checking before you comment will help prevent blathering.

utterly disgusting.
those responsible should be lined against a wall and shot.
publicly.. i think that would win more hearts and minds than bombing cities and using gunships on civilian areas.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4855930/.

my point was, and is, really this simple........saddam was a bad guy way before fox news came into existance. everyone was told saddam was a bad guy way before fox news came into existance (not to mention weve been fed the same information about him by "the left" and "the right"). the general opinion of saddam has been extremely poor since before fox news came into existance. continue on with your brainwashing theories, but it wont change those simple points, which cannot be disproved.

Thus your assertion
"fox hasnt shaped the opinion people have of saddam"
... is not true.
It really is that simple.
yes, youre right....until fox came along and convinced everyone that saddam was in bed with al qaeda, the vast majority no doubt held him in the highest regard.

so even in this respect it is still worth occupying iraq.
do you honestly dispute that bush is working for the industry that supports him?
so, explain to me in detail, according to your personal theory on it, how bush is going to exploit those reserves. this way we will have a simple reference point in the future to look back on and check the actual facts against.

Your statement regarding whether or not the USA liked Iraq befor the war has nothing to do with your insistance that FOX doesn't shape opnions.
youre using a bit of a strawman here. i didnt say that "fox doesnt shape opinions" (i think that would be hard to prove one way or the other), what i said was that fox hasnt shaped the opinion people have of saddam. there is a huge difference here, and i dont think ive been vague whatsoever. and when did i say anything about the usa liking or disliking iraq? im pretty sure our opinion of the country as a whole has nothing to do with my argument. its pretty simple, so lets not muddy the waters, okay? i stated specifically:
saddam made his own bed with the public long before fox news even existed.
and you came back asking me to support my assertions. so, i showed that weve been getting the SAME information about saddam given to us by three different presidents through four terms....thus proving my point about our opinion of him being shaped without any help from one specific news channel.....that in fact weve been getting this info before fox was around, and its stayed very consistent throughout the last decade plus. so, am i being vague?

any thoughts on mr. taylor?s claims?.
u.s. demands greater oil output, lower prices.
"finance ministers from the united states and other major industrialized countries, hoping to affect the outcome of a battle within the organization for the petroleum exporting countries, formally demanded yesterday that oil-exporting nations raise production and lower prices to a level 'that is consistent with lasting economic prosperity,'" the new york times reports.
i drive an suv, but it has nothing to do with "status"....it just happens to be the most comfortable vehicle ive ever owned. after test driving it one time, i was sold. most all of the people i know put comfort ahead of status when spending $10,000+ on a vehicle.....but then again, the crowd i associate with is pretty down to earth, no "uppity" types, so maybe we are the minority.
