A very good point. I feel like an idiot for not thinking of that myself. Where does that leave fighter? Originally Posted by JD BarleycornThat's prolly him in Assup's avatar...

Hannity has never said he was a journalist which is true, but he has never taken cheap shots at guests after they leave the set like Brian Williams, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Brian Gumbel, Barbra Walters, et. al have. Some have been more blatant and insulting like Gumbel calling a guest a moron as he gets out of earshot (but on the air) and others just forget to give full credit. In fact, Bill O'Reilly has been frequently criticized for not attacking individuals when the viewers thought he should. Can you tell me the name of a left wing journalist who has given Sarah Palin a fair shake? FYI: Palin is a journalism major Whatzup. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

This amzing aging that you have gone through should have taught you something about things. You took a lot of "pain killers" in the 60s right?You asked: "Can you tell me the name of a left wing journalist who has given Sarah Palin a fair shake?"
You still haven't answered the question I posed. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

On the other hand you are dissing Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Bill O'Reilly, and Greta Van Sustern. All have reported on stories around the world and in dangerous situations. So exactly what is YOUR definition of a journalist? Joy Behar? Whoopi Goldberg? Jon Stewart? Steve Colbert?
Well we do have more convicted felons in the democratic party and how long before a newly electeed senator in Ilinois will last before they go to prison. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

I don't think you understand journalism as it was. You've mentioned three journalists from days if yore. Any dipshit can do that, as youve proven. Back then, the news was NOT delivered on TV. It was in print. TV was for "talking dogs." That's why you don't really know much about them. There really weren't any.
Further evidence of your ignorance of the Fourth Estate is your line of questioning about Sarah Palin. Journalists aren't left wing or right wing. so the answer to your question (God Im glad I can't her you slurring through it) is NO.
BTW -- I met Cronkite several times. (Houston San Jac HS grad//UT Journalism grad) Watched Murrow on TV. Met Dan Rather before he went to CBS network (OK I was a youngun, but hey, it was 1960). Do the math.
And for the record, BULLSHIT, Mr. Lost Weekend. You need to sleep it off, BarleySwine. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

He delves in a form of propaganda. His sole function is to fuck with the dupes, aka liberals. Hannity does this so well that they react with similar furvor that Ellison did. Insults and degrading him professionally doesn't bother Hannity cause thats his primary goal anyway to get a reaction. Notice how Hannity rarely ever retorts back, he just laughs and sluffs it off.
Hannity does not hide behind anything and is nothing more than a opinionist commentator unlike so called journalists that fail miserably at their jobs. Originally Posted by The2Dogs
