Chris Matthews anti-American hatred.

Matthews posited that “normally domestic terrorists, people, tend to be on the far right”

"Matthews suggested that Monday being Tax Day could possibly have played a role in the bombings. “So many iconic days — it’s Patriots Day, it’s the Marathon Day, it’s the Kennedy Library always up there. And also as you point out — I just forgot because I filed already — that it’s filing day for the federal income tax, which does cause some emotions around the country, sometimes in the wrong parts of the brain,” he said.

I do have to admit, I remember reading articles on Monday. One major news organization (can't remember which) mentioned that the pressure cooker bombs were a strategy of Islamic terrorist groups, but FOX mentioned that AND that anyone could learn how to make them from reading the Anarchist Cookbook. I thought that was a little more fair/balanced.

Anyway, I'd still trust NPR more with breaking news like this. They aren't worrying about making big bucks.

Americans have to stop calling these things "terror attacks" If these young guys were named Jones and they were from Nebraska they would not call them terrorists....These attacks are criminal acts. Labeling them as terrorist for political reasons is not helpful...Forget the damned so-called war on terror - there is none...The world and it's governments have been taken over by respectable criminals and all we see here is the all mighty trickle down effect of amoral behavior.

Again, why do you guys go around waxing poetic about news networks when they aren't paying you a dime? Fox is a business, and to pretend that they're some nonsense akin to the "voice of the people" makes you sound like a hopeless myrmidon.

Geez..."voice of the people?" I can't even believe you said something so nonsensical. I could see if Murdoch or Ailes were paying you, but otherwise that's a pretty damn corny thing to say.
Why do you hate Fox News?

I thought that liberals were "tolerant"?

That is the only reason that the liberals on this forum think that MSNBC was the best - they are so dissapointed that the bombers turned out to be Muslim extremists.

They were correct.

Lose your political bias, scum.
Correction - Fox reported it 60 seconds after I heard the cop say "He is in custody" on the scanner feed.

It seems that even when faced with the facts, they still try to connect the dots back to someone on the right.
You alluded to liberals and used the word "facts" in the same sentence?

That doesn't even make sense.

Reddit reported that the bombers were Sunil and Mike.

Does anyone know who that Mike Muguleta guy was?

Maybe he was someone who the local cops were running a drivers's license check on at the same time as the confrontation was going down in Watertown.

Seems that someone forgot that not every cop in Boston was after the marathon bombers.

I don't hate Fox nor do i love Fox...or any other network for that matter.

I'm simply pointing out that Fox isn't paying you a dime, so why are you running around talking about how great they are and how they're the voice of the people and other silly ass nonsense. You sound like a damn groupie.

So because they had high ratings they are now the most trusted?? Just because the wing nuts have their dedicated propaganda channel that they religiously support doesn't mean that most Americans trust it. It's just that you wing nuts have no other home to crawl to.
