The same type of situation exist on FOX. "Attitude" on BOTH of the
stations is very real. So, since there is freedom of choice, I will go with FOX since it more closely reflects MY attitude. I don't think that makes me stupid. It just means I'm exercising my freedom of choice. Prior to FOX-there was NO CHOICE!
Just as long as you are aware of the extreme bias of FOX, which DeltAlum is correct in pointing out. I don't know but FOX has not made an effort to correct any reporting errors that it has made, while at least the other majors have.

..... but yes I agree with you about CNN too..... the bent of their stories leaves a little to be desired (and don't get me started on Lou Dobbs).

What ever happened to the concept of the impartial press? and what's up with the self censorship?
