1. Rachel Maddow tells the whole truth ,those three clowns between the

three of them couldn't come up with a half truth.

[Riftaxe]

8. easy to disprove, use the link i provided

here it is again google

Ain't none of them saints, and all of these talk show hosts would lie for ratings, they have and continue to do it.

19. Not Keith

[Riftaxe]

22. No keith was over the top, like Beck was

Now both are safely retired and removed from society...as they should be, and a bit of sanity is restored.

Half truths and lies are good when you are masturbating, and your mom calls and asks you what you are doing.

[Zax2me]

3. My friends mom caught him doing it.

Age 15 or so.

4. Who is Dilligan and why do you accuse Rachel and Ed of lieing?

[Riftaxe]

10. Well if you followed the link

you will find out. And i sure as hell not singling out the clowns at MSNBC their brethren at FOX are probably twice as bad...which does not mean it should be acceptable.

[Rowdyboy]

15. Please cite one lie Rachel Maddow has ever uttered...Just one...until then you're a joke....

You could prove your point if it was true but it isn't so you dodge.

And while I don't like Ed Schultz much he's certainly not a liar.

7. None of your choices match reality

Outrageous claims require extraordinary evidence. Please cite specific examples of Maddow and Schultz intentionally spreading half-truths and lies.

[Riftaxe]

11. Did you follow the link

Or more importantly pick your talk show hero and lay down some money? No? thought not.

Hell, some people enjoy getting lied to, i not saying your one of them, but your reality bubble is about to burst if you take up my challenge.

[baldguy]

17. Your link goes to a blank Google home page.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

[Modern_Matthew]

12. It's never OK. Even when it's in our favor. It's that simple. nt

[Riftaxe]

13. Agreed, and i in no means disparage

The MSNBC folks, they do what they do very well, even if less then honestly. They peddle the pablum we are most receptive to, but it is annoying they fear they could not do it in a manner that is truthful.

Well as for fox...same coin, different side.

When did we give up being adults and able to digest current events for ourselves, that we turned into little birds that needs it swallowed and regurgitated sans thinking?

[Riftaxe]

14. The entire jist of the poll is

Neither MSNBC or FOX have journalists, they have talk show hosts. None of them can be considered to have integrity or to be honest.

If you take their word for anything, your more then a fool.

On edit: being with out integrity or honesty does not mean they do not occasionally wander into issues that do require attention.

But a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it."

[mmonk]

20. +1

[Riftaxe]

21. Yet reality shatters your myths...

Oh look, a fairy!

There is no false equivalency, neither network has any integrity at all.

[Silent3]
