When news media manipulate the news for their own personal gain, I lose all respect for those involve. Fox Cable News receives a grade F for fake news organization.

+ report abuse

Lets get this straight because a news network reported what was said by Jesse Jackson about obama isn''t news because it doesn''t seem proper to report it.

I well remember reports about republicans getting caught in these situations and the major networks reported it.

[rushlimpdrug]

Watched CBS evening news
for the first
time in a long time.

This story was handled as
an incidental
item.

Wow.

You folks at CBS evening news
need to get a reality check.

You are perceived (at least by me)
as pushing obama.

All network news is starting to
stink up badly.

So sad.

Can''''t trust obama or jackson...how come sharpton didn''''t jump in on this one....? oops, i forgot if you are black it is ok to be racist.

Yea, really!

CBS) As Barack Obama claims the mantle of presumptive Democratic nominee, nearly 70 percent of Americans say the country is ready for a black president, a new CBS News poll shows.

***************************************

This is what has gotten Jesse so upset. He has been telling the black folk for years that no matter what they say, whitey wants to keep them down. If Obama is elected, he comes off looking like a liar, or just stupid. Bad either way.
I am white and I will be proud to pull the Obama lever in November.

They keep crawling out of the woodwork...and it is only going to get worse....

[scotch41-2009]

We don''t have to worry about Obama getting to the white house.....Those people will sink themselves with their stupidity...

I thought we lived in a Democracy not a dictationship! Have we became a nation that people cannot offer their own opinion about someone else behavior that has first hand knowledge of the situation.

I think you need to do a little reading on the constitution. The "right to your opinion" or freedom of speech as we call it, is a guarantee that you will not be persecuted by the government for your opinion. Now, usless I missed something, the government is not persecuting poor Jesse for wanting to cut on Obama''s member.
You are not protected from persecution by other members of society or the press. And I use that term loosely when referring to Faux News.
Besides, Fox isn''t doing their whacky viewers any favors by harping on the Jackson thing. This is actually a boon for Obama. Most Americans are sick and to death of Jesse. He had his day, did good work, and then got stuck in the past to maintain his power base.

[kansas1946]

Jesse is as much of a dinosaur as Phil Graham. They refuse to change with time and like the dinosaurs, they will become extinct.

[getcentered]

Man....sorry yall.

That was a little harsh....

I took a deep breath.

Cursory Karl strikes again.

[getcentered]

I am so mad about Karl Rove right now my teeth are grinding.

Karl Rove should get the death sentence.

Or better yet......I''d like to see him caged in the capital...for all to see.......and spit on.

If I met him in real life....I''d have to think real hard about why I shouldn%u2019t punch him in the mouth.

[getcentered]

Whoa....

Off subject...but I just saw this video:

McCain chokes on a question about Phil Gramms comments, then proceeds to lie straight to your face about Obama''''s energy policy.

Truly serious; I had no idea McCain was this type of man.

I thought we lived in a Democracy not a dictationship! Have we became a nation that people cannot offer their own opinion about someone else behavior that has first hand knowledge of the situation. We have become so polarized by an election that we do not know what news is and what is honest venting. Rev. Jesse Jackson is entitled to his opinion on Barack Obama whether or not we agree with Rev. Jackson%u2019s opinion. Fox News waited three days to make Rev. Jackson%u2019s comments a political issue in this presidential campaign. It saddened me that Fox News is hitting below the belt and using anyone to get ratings in July. Our founding fathers, which formed this nation, had a goal and mission that we as Americans have freedom and one freedom is speech. When news media manipulate the news for their own personal gain, I lose all respect for those involve. Fox Cable News receives a grade F for fake news organization.

[tibu987]

The difference being that Jesse Jackson panders to the Blacks while Obama was telling them the truth.
Jackson is a political hack who will say whatever is necessary to keep him in the limelight.

It is obvious to me that "Rev." Jesse is resntfull of Obama. Jessee thought as Hillary that Jesse should be the "man" instead of Obama. By the way, where did Jesse attend seminary? Is he a self described Reverend or is he an actual Reverend. It sounds as if he went to scool with Rev. Wright. It is fun though to see the famous blackmailer squirm!

[rapprsrscum]

No I will agree with SlackJaw and say that it is the blacks in this country who are undermining upward progress. They are stupid and illiterate, they act like monkeys with their slumping around waving their idiotic rap gestures in the air (it''s getting old morons) wearing stupid huge clothes - looky at me, izza cool dude wearing clothes 5 sizes too big soz I kin look like a 5 year old wearing daddy''s stuff...obnoxious simple minded idiots content to scream for handouts, and act like hypocritical freaks.

[slaphappy86]

When are we going to Celebrate James Earl Ray day?.. Blacks perpetuate crime, just look around..

Lets say you have three brand spanking new neighborhoods..1 white, 1 black, 1 wetbac..er spanish. Now out of the those three groups, which neighborhood will implode faster?..you guessed it the blacks. reason being, actually many. Heres just a few. Most adult blacks have minds like a child in a body of an adult, The lack of ambition, thanks in part to the lovely handouts the bleeding hearts give out; i.e. welfare checks. I''m sure you get the point. The rest of the world evolved, except africa..I wonder why?
