The Grammys: The day the culture died?

I watched the Grammys last night. Well, half-watched, I wandered in and out.

I wasn't too thrilled with most of the acts, though some were good. I don't think most of the TV audience was aware of all the bad language, because mostly it was pretty hard to make out the lyrics.

But I don't think it was especially worse than in previous years.

So far as the linked article from the OP, that's an opinion column, so it isn't related one way or the other to FNC's news coverage. Obviously, since they published it, FNC feels the opinions expressed are within the acceptable range for what they're willing to publish in an opinion piece, but it doesn't imply any endorsement beyond that.
 
I came in at the end of Beyonce and Jay-Z's dance number. I have a slightly different take on it. Her costume was revealing and sexy, but Jay-Z was "dapper in a black-spotted tuxedo". Hey, that's not fair! Don't the ladies deserve some eye candy too? Jay-Z should've been in a similarly revealing costume.

I can go on and on and perhaps someday I might. My point is that they are exactly like the liberal media outlets in that they are NOT fair and balanced and spin things out of control. Are they a legitimate news source or are they simply news commentators? What is the last major news story that was broken by Fox News first? (Maybe there is some, just don't know of any.)

They are just as hypocritical as the other news sources.

First, you are dead wrong. I would enjoy proving you wrong.

Fox breaks many stories. Especially stories related to international security. I can name dozens. Do you want me to bore you or do you already have your mind made up?

Some of the things you posted are simple mistakes. Others are easily explainable. It is the ONLY NEWS orginization on the planet, where you can get/hear both sides of the issue. There are many PAID liberal commentators on the shows and many unpaid liberal commentators.

Does Fox News lean right. Probably to a degree. Yet, its not near as bad as the others lean left.

Bret Baier is right down the line. So it Brit Hume and Gretta. Bill Oreilly might lean a little right and I don't care to watch Hannity. Even though he does have some of the more liberal commentators on his shows. Not to mention the fact Allan Colmes shared hosting duties for many many years. The only reason he left was liberals took to bashing him for even being on the network.

Shepard Smith is overtly liberal. So is Bob Beckel. Judge Napolitano is a hard core liberal libertarian. John Stossel is right there behind him.

Bash away....

Nah. If one can't see the hypocrisy of all media, both liberal and conservative, no need for me to keep going. All the media outlets create their own spin/propaganda for their own purpo$e$. Faux News is not above the media riffraff like many think they are.

I'd say their head is above the water while the rest are stuck on the bottom wearing lead underwear.
 
I'm really confused. Did anyone here expect those who don't proclaim to follow Christ act as though they did?

Exactly. A big deal is made because a duck acts like a duck and we complain because it didn't act like a swan.

I imagine the same thing can be said of pedophiles and rapists. Are you saying since we can expect such to happen, we should ignore it when it does?

I saw a post on Facebook where a pastor chided his church people for skipping church and watching the demon influenced music awards show instead of coming to hear him talk about Jesus. He said:

Sooo, apparently, while I was at church last night, the Grammy's rocked out a satanic performance into millions of television sets around the country.

...and you still think I'm wrong about my contention of the connection between demons and rock music? And how many of my church members watched that trash last night instead of coming to church to hear preaching about Jesus?

A couple things:

1: If I wanna stay home on a Sunday night and watch tv, it's none-ya-biness
2: I didn't watch the Grammys... I couldn't care less. But can someone tell me what happened where the occult and devil worship was brought into the mix?

So who on this forum was an unwitting and unwilling victim of the Grammys?

Ummm... extremely weird choice of logic, but I digress.

If you're a rapist or pedophile I'm not going to throw a duck fit because you're not teaching a children's Sunday school class.

I would call anything "weird" if I were you.... Think of "summer's eve".

You simply dismissed the entire argument due the fact sin can be expected from sinners. I just mentioned a few sins you might not want to tolerate at all. Maybe you have a tolerance for pedophiles and rapists. I don't. If you don't tolerate pedophiles or rapist..... then its really not a matter of "expectation". Its just a matter of degree.

Are there children "ON THIS FORUM" or do you enjoy the practice of selective reading?
