Is Fox News too Liberal for Y/A Politics Conservatives?

I keep hearing from them about "Obama’s slow reaction to the flooding in Tennessee. Enter Fox News:

"I’ve never seen this kind of response," said Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen (D), "and we’ve had our share of tornadoes and so forth." The Volunteer State governor was speaking to reporters on a conference call arranged by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from Nashville, which has been hit hard by rains last weekend.

"FEMA and the White House could not have been more helpful in this thing," Bredesen said. Record amounts of rain fell Saturday and Sunday, more than 13 inches recorded in parts of Tennessee. Officials Thursday reported the state’s 20th death from the storm and subsequent flooding.

Governor Bredesen recognized his state’s emergency was "sandwiched between" the news coverage of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the attempted car bombing in New York’s Times Square, and while he wanted to call national attend to the "extraordinary event", he noted the Obama administration has been focused from the beginning. "FEMA was on the ground before the rain drops fell," said Bredesen, who noted he’d not only spoken to Mr. Obama, but Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett. "We’re very pleased with the response we’ve gotten from the administration."

The Tennessee governor says no one in his state feels "slighted" by the fact the president has not yet been down to assess the damage first hand. "He has a lot on his plate, and we’re working through these things with FEMA and the Red Cross," said Bredesen. "But he’s welcome to come any time he wants," as is Secretary Napolitano, to whom Bredesen has also extended an invitation, and she’s accepted – the secretary will head to Tennessee Saturday to visit Nashville and the surrounding areas. Napolitano will meet with Governor Bredesen and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, who is currently in state, on his second trip to Tennessee since last weekend’s storm.

So, what’s the deal, Conservatives? Has Fox News developed a Liberal bias? Is that why they are reporting that the Governor of Tennessee was amazed by the speed at which the Federal Government reacted?

Or, is it possible that you are just making stuff up to suit your preconceived notions about the Obama Administration?

Don’t mind me, I’m just going to sit back and enjoy watching all the YA cons get offended by the truth.

Why does God fling asteroids seemingly at random into space, some of which might impact populated planets?

There are records of tremendous meteorite impacts on earth, such as the Gulf of Mexico and that big crater in Arizona.

Why would a loving God fling asteroids out into the void of space, when it’s entirely likely that at least a few will strike populated worlds, causing destruction and death to the very things It created?

I mean, if I had a big sac of balls, I wouldn’t throw them at people and potentially hurt them, I’d sit and play with them myself, or with the help of some close friends.

I actually laughed out loud over this…
