Me too, I always get a kick out how CNN tries to convince us what a great job Obama is doing.

Hey, I do enjoy The Five sometimes, sometimes I'll watch MSNBC.  I like getting all points of view and trying to understand them.  I also find that each network has its idiots. I'll be honest t

Best News commentary on the tube. Deal with it or watch Sharpton or Maddow on the channel nobody watches. They need some exposure.

They are a shill for the GOP.  The best news on the tube is The Daily Show bar none.  No one else is even close. :-) I don't watch Sharpton or Maddow either.

The only thing I know about the Five I learn from the Daily Show and Colbert.  It looks hilarious.

Shills .... owned by a major shill.

Of course, if they reflect your views, you think they're great. That's natural.

But they all have an agenda... and one must look beyond the propaganda to find facts and a sense of reality. That goes for both sides.

I enjoyed the news when it was the news.

Is the "The Five" on fox new a comedy?

I have little use for "opinion shows" give me the news and I'll make up my own mind (thank you very much).

I watch the (hard) news on the networks, on CNN, and on Fox.

If anybody these days is getting their news from one source or one "side", and if they think they are getting the whole picture of what's going on, they are out of their minds. The networks prove over and over again that if a story doesn't fit their agenda they simply don't cover it or mention it (until they are forced into it to compete with the "other side").

If it weren't for the "other side" we might as well be getting our news from a state run network in a communist country. We would never know about stories that don't toe the company line.

Easy to spot morons that are getting their news (and talking points) from Internet bloggers, or from the opinion shows, and think they are getting "news".

I have given up on television news.  I find newspapers to be more informative and less sensational.

They have an agenda just as MSNBC and CNN support the liberal agenda and are shills for Obama.  Problem overall is there is no unbiased news, so you have to pick which one insults your intelligence less.

A better route no doubt...but still have to read two separate newspapers and understand that what they are seeing on the front page today might have a retraction on page 20 tomorrow.

Thought I made that obvious when I stated it applied to both sides... Maddow, Sharpton, et al are opinion shows, roundtable shows, sometimes so-called investigative shows. Some MSNBC shows actually have reputable GOP Reps on the show; sometimes not, depends on the day. I avoid most of the shows on both sides -- I don't even think MSNBC does news. Fox pretends it does news; CNN has gone downhill since trying to ratchet up the entertainment -- Generally, I stick to daily reading of the Dallas Morning (local) News and the NY Times online, sometimes thedailybeast.com. The Times is great for health, sports, wine, food, science, investigative pieces, video, etc. I browse the headlines and like the opinion pages ... both moderate and left of center (don't think they have anyone on the right) ... And I try to filter...

I sometimes enjoy watching for its' entertainment value - sometimes uproariously funny, and sometimes very sad.  I certainly would not accept any of their crackpot opinion as anything but what it is - entertainment.

Yeah, me too.  Even for an old guy like me, print is long dead.  Our local fishwrap is nothing more than ads and two day old "news".

Yeah, me too.  Daily Show/Colbert is also the only time I see CNN or MSNBC, or any other "news" network out there.

Nope ... my dad still gets the printed newspaper too.  My parents love their routines. ;)

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
