CNN and NPR are every bit as left-leaning as FOX is right. But you don't recogize it as such. Before FOX all media was left so you perceive it as non-biased.
I will recognize that a website like Huffingtonpost.com is a left wing website because they only post stories that favor one point-of-view. I don't consider CNN or NPR to be left wing because they quite often show other points of view. Now explain to me, why do you consider them to be left wing? What are you using to gage them?

That would be the smart thing to do, but Fox News is pandering to the right wing lunatics instead.

Most Black folks are trained from birth to vote Democrat, be suspcious of white folk, fear the police because they are evil and don't go in the military unless you have to! Are there exceptions??? Yes.

Whites view their country a little differently given our history. They were never slaves. So they are more patriotic in most cases. Sure they vary in world-view and much more so. And most country and Rock music artists are white! Most....not all. Those southern roots are pro-military....pro-defense in many cases. I would be surprised if Hannity hasn't reached out to some black artists and got turn down because of politics.
It's not that whites are more patriotic, it's just that blacks tend to hold their country to a higher standard. Of course, as has always been the case, whenever it came to defending her interests, blacks were always ready for the call, even during periods where their own social interests took a back seat. Quite frankly, given the rich history of black service to this country in spite of her less than stellar track record with those who served, I find myself appalled at the very suggestion that black people are somehow inculcated with a cultural aversion to patriotism.

As someone who doesn't always do 'due diligence'--NPR/PBS--left wing?

CNN--Ted Turner/Jane Fonda--and assorted other reasons--left wing?

I listen to a variety.

I posted the IRS Form 990s for Hannity's "charity" and the hard numbers, and still you retards are here arguing instead of looking at the facts.

This is why the rest of us get demoralized -- so many people choose to remain ignorant.

In the meantiome, while you retards continue to argue, Sean Hannity is doling out $200 to soldiers who lost limbs, while spending millions from his "charity" on promoting himself and flying his family and friends around in private jets. If you claim to be a conservative and you support this man, you are a revolting hypocrite.

I linked directly to the IRS form 990s.

While the ignorant retards who enjoy calling Sean Hannity's show and engaging in "You're a Great American!" circle jerks will immediately try to discredit Mother Jones or any other publication that notes his charity is dishonest, it is impossible to argue with IRS Form 990s.

For those unfamiliar with how charitable accountability works, non-profits are required to file form 990s with the IRS to maintain their non-profit status.

That means, according to the documents Hannity's charity filed with the IRS, less than eight percent of all "Freedom Alliance" revenue for the past three years has gone to wounded soldiers or scholarships for the children of deceased soldiers.

Only the absolutely ignorant will try to argue with that. After all, those financial statements are filed by Hannity's own minions -- and only because they are required to do it if they want to keep their cash cow as a "non-profit."
