Yes, Michael Moore has a huge following, and...?
Hilarry Clinton is a socialist? Well I knew I had spotted her waving the red book of comrade chairman Mao! Oh COME ON, you guys KNOW that democrats are a right-centered party! Just because they are usually compared to the republicans, it makes then look like left-winged. Democrats are more right-winged than most right-wing parties here in south america!

And facts be known Bill O'rielly has only told people to shut up 6 times in the last 2 years, four of which were in jest. You ever actually listened to /watched his show or you just going with the internet flow? Cause i have listened to/watched his show many times, and i have seen none of this. Further more there are lots of very "liberal" people in america, and polaticians that they support.
Bill O'Reilly only told six people to shut up? Geez... I wonder how many other SERIOUS newscasters had told anyone to shut up on TV. Not even the guys who cover wrestling matches do it! I get both CNN and fox news here, and I did used to watch Bill O'Reilly, you know, for a laugh. It's not that his views are distorted or anything like it, it's just that he is a sorry excuse for a news show host, you don't have to be a liberal to see this...

I dont mean that in any deragatory way i am just curious. I also find it interesting how many foriegn cable companies wont carry fox news, but will carry al jazera...
I do get Fox News in all it's glory, but I don't get Al Jazeera - and I don't want to. Over here we get news you guys usually don't, like the frauds in the elections. And buckle up guys, it's going to happen again. But of course, you'll only know it when it's safe to do so.
OK, seriously speaking: over here the news about north american politics are pretty much condensed and not very deep. They report only the UsofA foreign affairs, or when it envolves our own countries. It's well balanced, yet there is a slight liberal disbalance - which is now fading because our government now is from majorly a left-wing party, and the media usually play devil's advocate. Here in Brazil, with few exceptions, it's absolutely anti-Castro, neutral but almost opposed to the Iraq invasion, neutral to the elections. It's pretty much like CNN covers europe, you know? Bleak, neutral way.
OK, somehow I feel some people will get angry at me... Geez I promised to get away from political discussions, but they pull me back again!
