not really because CNN news anchors very often dicuss some issues and don't have anyone from the republican side to respond to it...Beck had his own program and discussed the issues he choose..and he was only there since 2006....what about before that?
on Fox in the morning we have news anchors constantly invite both sides (like congress people) to state their opinion about the news...

oh,,,my bad..Beck was NOT on main CNN, but on the headline channel...sorry...:-$

the purpose of each channel is to gain/retain viewership and to make money.
if FOX or CNN could put a talking money on the air to gain the 18-45 audience they would totally do it.
Beck is a popular TV personality and i believe there was a bidding war between CNN and FOX at some point for him.

Flint, just like Pontiac and for that matter Detroit is going down, because of the business tax policies promoted and implemented by our dear Michigan State and their citiesgovernments. The policies that make impossible for business to survive, therefore taking the jobs somewhere else...;-)

Hello Jennifer Granholm... very nice business model from a Harvard grad.(N)

don't you, guys, have like an almost 20% umeployment in Michigan?...so has the bailout been helpful?...maybe there is something else wrong in your state...
you just don't put a bandaid on the big problem for the immidiate benefit (to stop some bleeding) when the underlying problem is the Stage IV fracture and there is a need of a serious surgery...

Svetlana, how do you know what my views are? Do you even know if I vote Democrat or Republican?
This is an excellent point. So many times we're being stereotypically branded by people making conclusions based on just one of our views. One of my non-online friends always bundles up all of my views with the ones he heard from some burn-the-arabs-alive "republicans" from Odessa. I am my own person. So is Алексей. I supported war in Iraq, but am pro gun control, I am anti abortion, but was against the Gov't bailout of auto industry. I hate people who carry a specific set of values that they share with the rest of the herd.

If this is so, let's blame both her and Mike Bishop, the (Republican) leader of the state senate. He is the one who is responsible for the state budget.
He is also responsible for the state constantly cutting support for the public Universities in the state. But who needs them, right?

this is a very cheap shot!...where did you get that from?...your judgements are very questionable...(tr)

Michgan is in recession since 2001... When our favorite Canadian born Harvard education socialite - Jennifer came to power. Ever since they are struggling with balancing the budget because she is promoting bunch of her ideas.

- Michiga hiked business taxes (the highest in the nation)
- Michigan led the neighbouring Canada to bring the trash and dump it on our land
- Michigan promotes the casino gambling because they hooked the School budget to the taxes on gambling
- Jennifer was called the best Governor by Obama himself
- BTW- we had the highest unemployment before Obama came to power...


Cheers...(D)(D)(D)
