‘Tolerant’ Salzman
Tuesday, October 30 at 12:01 AM

So Rocky Mountain News media critic Jason Salzman believes that anyone who owns Fox News gear “should” deface it (On the Media, Oct. 13). It seems that the supposedly “tolerant” liberal cannot tolerate people being exposed to any viewpoint other than his own.

READER COMMENTS

Robin there is no other view than what the progressive liberal supporting media puts out. If you want to watch the mainstream media go wild contact them and tell them a huge lie aoubt being an iraq vet who hates Bush and Rush and you will make the 6 oclock news and every front page in the nation. [ps...dont tell them you never really served just put on a good show and maybe cry a little too]

If you wish to see real intolerance against fere speech and thought it is coming out of the left wing- liberal camp.

Here's the difference between the left wing media and the right wing media.

The left wing media only puts out stories to lie or smear someone. They also go out of their way to point out anything negative about the war.They also want the left wing media shut down comepletely. No free speech unless it is coming from the left.

The right wing media points out the flaws of the Bush administration and the war without attacking and smearing the Administration and our military.They point out the left wing smear tactics and ask for an honest debate from the left.The left doesn't want a debate they want to shut down all freedom of speech that does not agree with the garbage they are putting out there.

The right wing media has never called for a left wing media outlet to be shut down and has not claimed they are the only ones to have free speech.The right wing want open debate. The left wing do not want a debate because their hate is not a debatable.

People who watch Fox News are mis-informed

Why do you Fox Haters think the Democratic Candidates won't allow a debate on any Fox News outlet?

It's because they actually might have to answer a hard question.

Anyone wearing Fox News gear is not only screaming "free jacket", they're screaming "I'm an idiot."

I prefer that you be easily identifiable. Please keep wearing it.

Nothing says I am cool like Fox News Gear.

Can I get an AMEN! -

Do you literally have a straw man there with you? Did he help you type that diatribe?

Your left media/right media descriptions remind me of a comedian whose entire act is basically, "Black guys are all (insert stereotype here)! White guys are all (insert geekey sterotype here)!"

Fox News has more viewers than, CNN,MSNBC,ABC,CBS and NBC combined.

What say you? Pinheads!

Wow 1:40 p.m. that comment would be funny and witty if we were five year olds on the playground. But since we are not, your comment is just lame, much like your life.

Posted by Sean on October 30, 2007 01:59 PM

There actually is such a thing as Fox News gear? Well, that takes care of my Christmas list (my "give" one, not my "get" one).

Posted by Hans Christian Brando on October 30, 2007 03:09 PM

It's interesting how many people can be brainwashed so thoroughly. They must be the same people who still support Bush, since their arguments are the same.

I say that Tyra Banks has twice the viewers that Bill O'Reilly does.

Does that mean I should get my news from the Tyra Banks show?

Charles, just because you say something doesn’t make it so.

Posted by Uno on October 30, 2007 07:28 PM

Charles B. If you watch Tyra Banks show ,you are a pinhead.

Posted by Fox is # 1 You Morons on October 31, 2007 07:51 AM

Charles,
O'Reilly is an opinion show - not a news show.
And no Fox does not have better ratings than all of those listed by "Fox is #1 you morons" But they are more watched than CNN , HLN and MSNBC combined.
Unlike Keith Olberman who claims he is a news show but is his opinion show. Why can't he just admit it? What is he afraid of? It wouldn't be bad, opinion shows are good for public debate unless you are masquerading it as news like he does.
Go ahead and get your news from Tyra or Rosie or wherever you wish as you are obviously to dense to understand the difference between news and opinion.

We freedom loving Americans [Republicans] want the liberal media to keep telling their lies.We do not want the mainstream media closed down because they are the best examples of the lies the Democrats feed the public.Just like the Democrats posting on this page they show how stupid they are on issues.We want Democrats to call Rush and other talk show hosts because the public can hear how stupid they sound.This is why you will never see true Americans [Republicans] trying to take freedom of speech away from the Democrats.The Democrats want talk radio closed because we true Americans [Republicans] sound smart and well informed and that drives them crazy.It is not the Democrats fault that they sound stupid.Nobody could sound smart trying to stand up for the lies [issues] they are trying to push.

"This is why you will never see [Republicans] trying to take freedom of speech away from the Democrats."

It seems to me the phrase "shut up and sing" (as per the book by Laura Ingraham) was and has been directed toward liberal Democrat entertainers.

Posted by Hans Christian Brando on October 31, 2007 02:59 PM

I think Hans does not understand the difference between the government trying to close talk radio with the Fairness Doctrine and a cittizen making a joke.The Democrats are trying to close talk radio.Hans is one of those not so smart Democrats.

Posted by An American on November 1, 2007 09:47 AM

I'm smart enough to spell citizen right. And I seriously doubt that "shut up and sing" was meant as a joke.

Posted by Hans Christian Brando on November 1, 2007 02:44 PM

Best post was the one about the Christmas list. My family will get a kick out of it. But they will never speak to me again.
