except it's not acceptable to tie obamacare to the budget, the republicans are the ones you are my-way-or-the-highwaying this situation.

you dont see the dems refusing to pass a budget that doesnt have gay marriage in it. they just wanna pay for the stuff that we put into law already.

if the republicans wanna try to directly get rid of teh ACA, they can try again in congress, like they're supposed to. for the 42nd time.

quite ironic that the message for the videos related to Reincarnate's post is

Ironic isn't the right word to be using here, but icbf to find the right one right now.
Kind of wanted to know what they were but don't have time to hunt them down atm

Um, the first site says that MSNBC has more opinion pieces than straight news. Doesn't say what those opinions are.

(also, MSNBC has hosted Tony Perkins a staggering 23 times)

Instead, Stewart was up to his usually name-calling Wednesday night, ignoring the computer glitches that are quickly the hallmark of Obamcare and blasting the GOP as if a second party didn't even exist inside the Beltway.
Stewart railed against the GOP for supposedly ignoring the most vulnerable affected by the government shutdown but ignored the elderly veterans who tried to pay respects to their fellow soldiers, not to mention Reid saying he doesn't care about sick kids during a nationally televised interview.
This is your argument? Computer glitches and veteran's affairs?

Here's a link of my own: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking_(fallacy)

"not to mention Reid saying he doesn't care about sick kids during a nationally televised interview."

See context:

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/polit...-cancer/70134/

This is what I'm talking about. These far right-wing talking points are almost always nonsense. They have to quote-mine/lie/take things out of context in order to make their argument.

Anyways, regarding your article, I was (not so) surprised to see it suddenly end. It quite literally has no real argument. It's just complaining that Jon is making fun of the GOP again.

It mentions that Jon invoked lies by omission and tightly edited clips but did not offer any examples or evidence. And if I were to ask you for that additional context, you would not be able to provide it, either. There's no valid defense for this shutdown. It's economic terrorism.

secondly if by showing that MSNBC has more opinion than news you think you're somehow letting FOX off of the line, you're wrong.

each of those networks have opinion shows. that means i can watch fox news for actual news instead of msnbc which can't help but throw bias into news segments

like seriously if i mentioned i watch msnbc and read thinkprogress/dailykos on the reg you guys wouldnt second guess me or give me flak and would consider my new skewed opinions (as a result of that garbage) as valid. you really would
