They better get it together....or we'll be seeing many more Republican presidents in the future...... but would that really be so bad?
There is absolutely NO WHERE in the media that you can get a truly unbiased opinion of what's going on in the world today.....I actually think it's best to watch a variety...

Liberals and Democrats don't have their own news networks because information is supposed to be neutral. Its not for cheerleading, bashing opposition, or pushing political agendas. Why would you want to get obviously slanted and biased "news"? Why do you want to be told what is right and wrong? What Fox does is not even sublte enough to be termed subliminal seduction. They are clear about their bias although they couch it as "we report, you decide". What they do is give you information (not news) through a conservative, Republican filter. While traditional network news and CNN may appear "liberal" (whatever that means) in comparison, anything opposite of FOX is moderate by default. None of the other networks blatantly spout a liberal or leftist agenda. Neither do they tell their audience what to think or who is right or wrong.
Bill O'Reilly is not news. He is the same as a columnist in the OP-ED page of a newspaper. He does not deal in facts (news) but rather, opinion. What you here from him is only what he wants you to hear. He picks easy opposition to debate and much like Sean Hannity and other right wing media, he either cuts off or dismisses many opposing viewpoints before they can get fleshed out. He is never proven wrong because he frames the debate and has the last word. Its only a No Spin Zone when there is a liberal or Democratic guest to villify, whereas he spins constantly for the Bush administration. If Clinton had went into Iraq with as much world opposition based on a lie and found no weapons of mass destruction, FOX would be calling for his impeachment.
News information should never be blatantly politicized.
