I really believe we need to push back against attempts to float FNC as merely another news source, i.e., on par w/all the others--no better or worse.
(and i guess by we, I mean me)
It's innacurate and intelectually dishonest.
Fox News certainly has a legitimate perspective for viewers who enjoy that kind of thing. But it isn't a 'news' channel and everyone here knows that.
Another popular tactic--if we act as if and repeat it enough--maybe it'll become true. Or at least become generally accepted as true.
No offense to Steph or anyone else, but this general acceptance is why from now on I'm calling the spade a spade.

No offense taken - I've mentioned there are things on Fox that bug me. And other networks for that matter.

It seems like journalism just doesn't do its job effectively anymore.

The news media is not trusted by the general public.

I could not agree with you more. I am weary and wary of the news media.

I guess that makes three of us. Three, intelligent individuals, indepent voices, allegedly free of the worlds recorded message.


I am exhausted too.

. . . . "Nearly two hundred years ago, the great economist David Ricardo said: "I wish that I may never think the smiles of the great and powerful a sufficient inducement to turn aside from the straight path of honesty and the convictions of my own mind." . . . .

I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole. Or even two 10 foot poles tied together.
I should probably tie my fingers together so I can't type....
I'm an Olberman and a Rachel Maddow fan as well. Ditto Anderson Cooper...
I'm one of two token liberals in a very conservative Republican family.
