Thread: How can FoxNews call themselves fair and balanced?

Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP? In what way?

Hmmm........obviously you didn't pay close attention to what I said. Let me run it by you again:

I think Ms. Palin is every bit as qualified to be a VP as Obama is to be President of the United States.

That's nothing more than speculation on your part. I think Ms. Palin is every bit as qualified to be a VP as Obama is to be President of the United States. By the way, why are you blaming the GOP for the news media's activities? Seems to me you are directing your anger in the wrong direction.

You're right, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC are all liberal and favor Obama. I'm pretty sure dman1200 know that. [/quote:1j24m6it]

I agree the rest are so left-wing that I can't stand them. At least on Fox the libs and conservatives get equal time. You won't find that on any other channel. Glenn Beck is the only other one I watch. He has a brain and give specific reasons for what the subject is. I've learned more from him over the year on the economic crisis way before it hit.

When you find yourself yelling at the TV because they are balanced that tells you something.

As far as Palin goes her security clearance gives her validity:

Subject: SARAH PALIN'S SECURITY CLEARANCE

Before you dismiss the fact that Sarah Palin is Commander of the
Alaska National Guard consider this.

Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor
defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska
National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from
ballistic missile attacks. It's on permanent active duty, unlike
other Guard units.

As governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified
military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her
exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly
by far exceeds Obama's.

She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force
(ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland
Security's counterterrorism plans.

Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to
the entire country's defense. Given Alaska 's proximity to Russia ,
she may have security clearances we don't even know about.
According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in
February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping
secrets.

She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.
