I am neither a conservative nor a liberal as I share views from both sides! I am also a person who is sick and tired of all the bull$hit that has come to typify American politics and the schism that exists in America today! The only thing that matters in a debate are the facts, by that I mean substantiated facts! Lies, innuendo, and hearsay have no place in an honest debate and if it is your style to use such lies, innuendo, hearsay, half-baked truths and things taken out of context during the course of one then the only thing you are proving is how shallow a person you really are! If you claim something is a "fact" and are challenged on it then have the guts to post a link to where you got your information. Other than that anything goes so if you can't take the heat don't light the fire! Opinions are, by their very nature, polarizing - live with it!

Unfair and unbalanced: Fox News' coverage of Obama tops the bias scale
Television – Fox News, whose slogan is "Fair and Balanced," seems to have gone above and beyond in its anti-Obama rhetoric. Fox News seems to be the willing source of many of the smears and have displayed an unhealthy willingness to pass on as fact any unsourced or unfounded allegation that will put the Obamas in the worst light possible.
