First, Pelosi and the Democrats don't know what's in the health care bill but they support it, now Napolitano doesn't know what's in the Immigration Law but she opposes it. Gotta love the Obama Administration.

Fox news isn't reliable...at all.

You know, I was born and raised in AZ a mile away from the border. I remember we used to get illegals knocking on our door, asking for food and blankets.

This is retarded. It's the equivalent of me taking MSNBC and CNN and saying "It's not credible because it's left wing propaganda!!" So by your logic, no news source is credible.

I was under the impression that Fox was in fact famously unreliable. Isn't that like Jon Stewarts entire schtick?

The Daily Show is funny. I don't take anything he says seriously, he's a Democrat. I also don't take anything Colbert says, seriously.

This is why I get all my news from mostly international sources.

I think you conveniently missed this:

I see your whole point crashing down like the WTC towers.. TOo soon?

Yes it hasn't been 11 years yet.

I ignored this:

because I saw no reason to comment on it. Everyone knows that his show is satire. I'd be surprised to meet (in conversation) a human being dense enough to take him at face value. Hell, even Bill O. realizes that Colbert isn't for realz.

I'm not really going to trust international news sources though, why do you think they would be more reliable? They also have a spin to put on things.

News in general is often unreliable. What is usually important is what ISN'T there, if that makes sense.

I'll reference another cracked article: And say I see this everyday on msnbc.com.

Holy Shit! Gideon and Borbarad? Have we gone back in time or something? Or have I just had too many Listerini's?

I tend to find the BBC and Al'Jazeera no more worse than any of our major networks. Especially if one is trying to get anything reliable about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. BBC tends to be my primary choice most of the time with Al'Jazeera coming in second.

Get on your knees and say your prayers... ^^

Al-Jazeera reliable? I really have heard everything now.

Their international reporting not about Palestine is fantastic.

After you have finished with your knee jerk blowhard conservative reaction, perhaps you would like to know that Al-Jazeera is staffed by a number former BBC employees (hence the similar layouts.) Not to mention that Al-Jazeera is certainly no more biased then any other American news network. If I relied on Al-Jazeera alone, yes I would only get one side of the story, but since I don't, I really don't have to worry about it.
