	What's with the small text? It's like the anti-all-caps and just as annoying. Look at me. See my controlled modulation. It doesn't change the fact that I'm a wanker, however. And somewhat OT, I read somewhere that Conan O'Brien is Denis Leary's cousin. Izzat true? (Reply to this)(Thread)

I think the tiny text is almost more wankish, because it looks like someone who is very desperately trying to keep things in check, like when one talks to a child but in reality just wants to strangle the kid.

Nooo no no. I'm pretty sure it was just someone making a joke about the Irish, or just bieng ridiculous...

	If it's a joke, then the IMDB was fooled, too. http://imdb.com/name/nm0001459/bio Look in the Trivia section. I hope it's true. Just for the sake of the incestuous RPS it could spawn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I thought they were like, distant, twice-removed kinda cousins. Pretty sure they are related though. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I was just bitching about the small-caps thing in my journal. I still don't understand the point. If you don't want someone to see that you've said something, then, erm, don't say it.

But the guy is an asshole. I live in Canada, so I'm not so much offended as..buh? If you want to be insulting towards us, at least BE ACCURATE. God. He's believing one article he read (but won't quote) instead of people who actually are Canadian. Also, he hates Canadians because 'a lot of them hate Americans!' Brilliant.

	I don't hate Americans... It's just that the ones like this annoy the shit out of me. In fact, the ones like this in any country annoy me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Canada doesn't get Fox News. ... I get it on three stations. Does this mean I have to tear up my citizenship papers? Apparently I'm not Canadian afterall. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	We watch it now and again for giggles. It's just so blatantly, glaringly, oompahing-up-and-down-the-square BIASED. At least CNN is subtle about it. Sheesh. (Reply to this)(Parent)

NBC, CBS, and ABC are not neutral. They are far left. Anti-Bush does not mean neutral.

Where is this guy and who is his Cable/Satellite provider? We certainly appear to not be watching the same thing.

I can't say much about CBS and ABC seeing as how my little TV antenna only picks them up when the clouds are low enough for me to touch them with my pinky toe, but I know NBC. The NBC affiliate here is so far right it is sickening. They are run by Clear Channel and if they are not spending far too much time reminding you of that, then they are running nothing but pro-Bush/anti-Kerry ads.

Then again, this could be my arsenal having, uni-bombing, canning the neighborhood strays in preparation for the upcoming apocalypse next-door neighbor.

Small world isn't it?

	Didn't anyone ever tell you, if you SAY the media is liberal over and over again it makes it true. Nevermind that in the 30 years that claim has been around (I believe it was first articulated by that paragon of integrity Richard Nixon) it's never been empiracally proven, and in fact has been disproven several times.

I think part of it has do with the something-or-other effect, which has actually been documented. If you show the same news footage of Palestinian rock-throwers being shot by Israeli security forces to the two sides in the issues, the pro-Israelis will think it's anti-Israeli, and the pro-Palestininains will think it's anti-Palestinian. So to liberals, the media looks conservative, and liberal to the conservatives. People tend to only think of something as neutral if it supports their point of view.
