Well, I'll take that as a personal comment and respond.

If you'll look above I believe I stuck up for FOX and said their mistake was not in the same league with CBS.

If you look at the other threads regarding "Rathergate," I think I said that CBS would investigate their reporting. They Did.

I said that if they found it to be wrong, they would retract. They did.

I also said that Rather himself would report the retraction and issue an apology. He did.

Didn't you say that those things wouldn't happen?

I also pointed out why -- that being the Federal oversite of on air TV.

There are a lot of things I don't know much about. TV News isn't one of them. I know a lot about it. I lived it for over thirty years.

Experience does count.

Additionally, I consider myself a moderate, and I will generally take that position in any argument. I will also take to task any argument that I believe is made unfairly, dishonestly or where facts are manipulated or misunderstood. I have stood up for Kerry, Bush and Cheeny in different threads.

If folks want to come down totally on one side or the other, I may not agree with them. Or, sometimes I may. I've even agreed with Rudey a few times.

I think both sides of an issue are worth discussing with civility -- not demeaning the other side.

I invite you or anyone else to look back and see which sides you and I have taken, who is more likely to look at both sides of an issue and who is more "Fair and Balanced" -- to coin a phrase.

Say what you want, but I've been more than moderate in my beliefs. But if you want to continually type-case me, go for it stud.
