I wouldn't consider that "Journalism"....considering that the 2 people on that show that made the comments were a Comedian and an Actress. Just entertainment.

and even though you say most people differentiate between entertainment and journalism....that sadly is not the case.

People listen to the political opinions of actors and actresses, so even though it's an opinion there's some weight to it. As far as the other one, aren't comedians supposed to be funny?

Personally, it doesn't offend me because it points out how ignorant they are, and they are entitled to free speech. I only bring it up because if the show was on the other foot, there would be a bunch of comments from people here saying how racist and mean spirited conservatives are.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Should we count how many threads have been started about vile statements on Fox vs MSNBC?

I bet Jim has started more threads alone about MSNBC vs the # of threads about Fox in total.

instead its on this foot.....and a different group of people are saying how racist and mean-spirited liberals are.

Thats always my point both sides do it....and neither side sees it.

Again.....Stupidity knows no party

I'd disagree and simply point you to the Duck guy thread and read the comments made about him...then head over to the Colorado Baker thread and note the comments made about him and then compare them to all of the offensive comments made about the woman in this thread....

love the kneejerks...."well........FOX....blah...blah....bl ah "

pretty tame for MSNBC in my opinion
