Thread: Concerning the Palin/Biden debate...

FOXNews.com - Did Biden Get It Wrong? You Betcha - Opinion

Anyone care to comment?

Leave it to FOXNews... Plenty of the fact checks below were taken way out of context. At least Biden knows the issues rather than just how to dodge them.

Over the years, I've watch Fox news go from being respected to being just this side of Jerry Springer.

The journalist version of gawking at a fatal accident.

Unlike Palin, I can name where I get my news:

AP
Reuters
New York Times
Washington Post
Denver Post/RMN
BBC
International Herald Tribune
CNN (in small doses)
PBS
Chicago Tribune
Izvestiya
WSJ
The Economist
Bloomberg
Russia Today
Xinhua

Depends on the topic. It's interesting reading how news agencies not under the control of corporate America report the news.

Nobody has truly addressed the article yet!

Would anyone like to address the article I linked?

I haven't watched the debate, so I cannot judge whether what biden said or did not say was correct, or if it was taken out of context.
Biden gets slammed by FOX which if a front for the republican party.

It's not different from Palin getting slammed for what she reportedly said by some other news source.

I think it's sad that news sources can have such obvious party afiliations. How the hell are you supposed to get neutral reporting?

factcheck does a reasonable job of pointing out misstatements, errors, and lies from both parties in all the debates. Having read that, I don't really feel compelled to see what the experts at Fox think.

I will say that most of what it mentions is Biden being wrong about certain things. It sounds very whiny. Here is the thing: much of what Lott points out is small and almost insignificant. If Palin is being dealt with unfairly by some of the media, she should respond by not giving them the ammo they need to do the job so thoroughly. Atleast when Biden gaffs or says something strange I can tell what he was trying to say. The same can be said of Quayle: when he misspoke atleast he made enough sense so that we could understand he was being an idiot. Palin just sounds plain uneducated and carefree, especially in writing. That being said, she did a much better job of comporting herself during the debate than she ever has before.

The article leaves me looking for better and more genuine sources of news exactly the way Fox, CNN, and MS (Stands for MICROSOFT!!!!) NBC do every time I am assaulted by their presence.

FactCheck.org’s first critique claims that Palin was wrong to claim that troop levels in Iraq are down to their pre-surge levels. They are correct that after the recently announced drawdown, 6,000 more troops will be in Iraq than immediately before the surge. But why not mention that 84 percent of the 38,000 troops in the surge are home or are in the process of coming home? Maybe because Palin wasn't smart enough to bring it up herself?

WHINE WHINE WHINE.

Comment on the article

Personally who gives a damn about any of those things really, "Palin had it right" ? What did she have right? That she wants the VP to have more power and be above reproach, like D.C. has been attempting to do. Oh know Biden said Article 1 not 2, he should be drawn and quartered.

He called a restaurant by it's old name, who cares, people's 401K's are losing value, there's a war going on , Americans and other's are dying, people are losing their homes and jobs, but he republicans want to discuss these minute senseless details, if times were good I'm sure they would have gotten away with it too.

I go to a restaurant all the time, been going there for about 25 year's we call it Gus', that's what the regulars all still call it (it's actually the The Village Restaurant).

Biden is trying very hard to look stupid, and he's being very succesful at it. Perhaps Hillary is paying him under the table.

Could be...or she could have sided with Palin and saved her money....
