    Tell me about it.. You need to know things and pay attention if you want to prove something like that. And then you need people who are interested in the subjects instead of just interested in drama, and who can hold a thought for several minutes at a time.

    @Hamster Poop: In general, I don't take issue with a news station or newspersons having any kind of political bias; my issue with the stations arise when they skewer facts for the predetermined viewpoint.

    The fact is, many, many people turn to Fox News or CNN to learn what's going on in the world, and the possibility for having an informed opinion is wounded by partisanship.

    Do I think there's room for opinions? Absolutely. Who doesn't love freedom of speech? My issue with these stations is, they bill their opinions as facts. #modernwarfare2

    LOL @ hardcore MW2 players...

    Shit makes me laugh everytime people say it. These games are made for one reason only: Accessibility. Gears of war 2 did it, and it was why the hardcore gears players stopped playing. The game emphasized situation over player skill allowing any player regardless of skill level being able to kill even the best player out there. Aim-assist, one hit kills and other ridiculous things add to this. Game devs have realized that so called hardcore and casual gamers alike will play games like this because anyone can pick up a controller and do well. What happened to games that respected the hardcore players and rewarded good game mechanics?

    A lot of people say that hardcore gamers are still fine because there are competitive groups that play against each other. That is a laugh in itself, because the player skill levels aren't any higher than normal. 95% of competitive gamers just play the game to win, meaning they find the most unskillful and easy/cheap was to take down enemies. Competitive gaming doesn't mean you will get your head shot off a million times, it means you will get shot in the body a bunch and people don't really try to do advanced techniques, instead they just do whatever they can to win, regardless of how cheap and easy it is to do. It's a true shame that gaming is becoming more about accessibility and less about content and skill based rewards.

    The reason video games are still alive as a medium is because of the hardcore players that built it up. It's this same group of players that devs are now turning there backs on to get more little kids and mouth breathing frat boys to play their games. I understand completely that devs make video games to make money, I am not naive. I just don't think gamers should put up with shit like this anymore. #modernwarfare2

    @Teran:
    You're right. It's the steady stream of non-news that culminates into an internally built social conscious, which they pretend is nation and world wide, that has most of us is having a problem with.

    If you'd like a good example of how this actually works, one of the news-anchors have written a book about working in FOX during the Bush-administration. It's called "Great Presidents" or something like that.

    Basically, they're doing two things - they're aiming for the "part of the American home" appeal. You know, like Star Wars. And then there's the politics. The problem is that they don't see the difference between the two. They make politics being about which figure can pretend to fulfill the mythical American image the best. About who has the best haircut. About the most tasteful tie, and ceremonious voice.

    And that's just a different way of saying that 99% of the people working at FOX are not actually journalists at the present. Instead, they're in showbusiness. #modernwarfare2

The thing was filled with doctors and medical students and insurance adjusters and the only ones who agreed with his points were the insurance people because that's big business and they stand to lose the most money if universal healthcare goes through. He kept trying to lead the medicos down what he wanted them to say and they kept shooting him down and you could tell he was getting flustered. His mind is the republican mind, not his own. #modernwarfare2
