****edited for violation of rule 2.1****

Every liberal and conservative knows Michelle Malkin is a Opinion/Editorial commentator.  She writes columns and appears on shows.  SHE made the comment, and the graphics guys were summarizing what she said.  This happens on every news channel no matter who is speaking.  Fox was NOT reporting that Castro endorsed any ticket.  An OP/ED writer made her opinion known and the graphics guys summarized what she said.

Your hatred of conservatives is quite evident, but please do not resort to lies to bash those you disagree with.

Am I the only one who thinks it is terribly inappropriate for one poster to call another a 'liar' on a Christian discussion board?

I saw the segment that Jim Abb was referring to and thought while watching it that they were taking it out of context.   You have to be careful with any news cast and evaluate the information they are trying to feed you.  This is especially true for the networks and CNN, but it is true to a lesser extent on Fox as well.

Regarding being called a "liar". The topic of my post was "More Conservative Media Lies" and the comment by Malkin that Castro endorsed Clinton/Obama, as you can see from reading the text, is not what he said. That makes Malkin's statement a lie.

Also, I do not "hate" conservatives. What I "hate" are the lies that come from many conservative sources for the purpose of character assasination. I have a great deal of respect for conservatives like columnist George Will who argue issues. I may disagree with him, but I always read what he writes because I know that it will be well thought and supported.

TV news outlets focused on Clinton fundraiser Hsu but ignored Romney finance co-chair Fabian's indictment for fraud

Summary: In recent days, NBC, CNN, and Fox News have all aired reports or discussed the case of Norman Hsu, who The Wall Street Journal suggested may have funneled illegal campaign contributions to Sen. Hillary Clinton. However, when Mitt Romney's national finance committee co-chairman Alan Fabian was charged with mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice, the three networks did not report or discuss it during programs available in the Nexis database.

Between August 28 and August 31, NBC, CNN, and Fox News all aired reports or discussions on Norman Hsu, the Democratic donor known for being a top contributor and fundraiser to the campaigns of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY). The Los Angeles Times reported on August 29 that, in 1991, Hsu "pleaded no contest to grand theft, agreed to serve up to three years in prison and then seemed to vanish. 'He is a fugitive,' Ronald Smetana, who handled the case for the state attorney general, said in an interview." The previous day, The Wall Street Journal had suggested that Hsu may have funneled illegal campaign contributions to Clinton by reimbursing people for contributions made to Clinton under their names. However, there is no evidence that any candidate or committee who received money from Hsu knew anything about the controversies surrounding him, and many campaigns that received money from Hsu -- including Clinton's -- have since said they will donate it to charity. On August 31, Hsu turned himself in to authorities in California. The August 29 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, for example, teased the story with a picture of Clinton with the caption: "Fugitive Link."



By contrast, when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's national finance committee co-chairman, Alan B. Fabian was, according to an August 9 Associated Press article, "charged in a 23-count indictment unsealed Thursday [August 9] with mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice," NBC, CNN, and Fox News did not air reports or discussions about it during programs available in the Nexis database. The AP reported that Fabian "allegedly ran a scheme to make $32 million in false purchases of computer equipment, spending the money instead on beach real estate and private jet travel." Fabian resigned from Romney's finance committee shortly after being indicted, and the Romney campaign said it would return Fabian's $2,300 contribution, but not, however, "contributions from donors who were recruited by or have ties to Fabian," as The Boston Globe reported. While Fabian's indictment has generated some print coverage, it has resulted in no television coverage on news shows airing on NBC, CNN, or prime-time shows broadcast on Fox News, according to a Nexis database search conducted by Media Matters for America on August 31.

Fabian, a former Bush Pioneer, has also made donations to other Republican candidates and committees, including to Rudy Giuliani, according to the Federal Election Commission's searchable donor database. Giuliani's campaign said it would return Fabian's contribution. At least one other campaign did not immediately return the money. The Hill reported on August 15: "'We have no intention of returning the contribution,' said Matt Leffingwell, spokesman for [Rep. Jon] Porter [R-NV], who received nearly $1,500 from Fabian in 2004. 'Until the individual is convicted in a court of law, we don't return contributions.' " Fabian's arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 28.

According to Media Matters' review, the following shows included reports on or discussions about Hsu, but none reported or discussed Fabian:

But you get all your info from Media Matters.  Their goal is to create conservative media bias because they know it doesn't exist.

The conservative media never mentions the Risian Hurricane Generator either.  Go figure.
