The fact that you of all people are citing a Fox News story is actually kind of funny.

I have some friends who are high level managers in Fox News in NYC. We've talked about my going to work for them on several occassions. I also almost went to work for a Fox TV station in New York.

That doesn't mean that I agree with everything they say, or the way they go about "reporting."

Just as not liking or agreeing with President Bush or his policies makes someone a Liberal or a Democrat.

Yeah, I suppose it's true.

In honesty, it wouldn't be a source I would normally quote, but you might be surprized how often I do check their website, along with a few others, to try to see different sides of an issue.

Question

Doesn't FOX have a different take on things many times?

I do enjoy watching all of the takes though!

Is it really true that FOX is The Tabs of Video Media!

Fox News is known for being conservative and showing favoratism towards Republicans.

How can you say that? They claim to be fair and impartial.

The only TV stations I get at work ( a military base ) is the weather channel and Fox News, no joke.

I think the DoD doesn't care too much for the Conspiracy News Network or MSNBC.

That's an interesting piece of subtle censorship.

By the way, those are not TV "stations" per se, they are cable networks. TV stations are transmitted over the air. "So what," you might say, but there is are some huge differences, most notably that the over the air services are much more heavily regulated by the Federal Communications Commission.

He's not a genius or remotely close to it. Don't consider him the prophet just yet.

The studies are there and so are your biases. I admit I've got biases too but it just seems you keep pushing this point and I have no idea why or where that motivation comes from. I don't even watch Fox news or most tv news reports anyway.

And regarding the story, I'm OK with a computer linking phone calls to Al Quaeda members...really, I am

So back on topic, I think this sucks and is a pretty big invasion of privacy.

I know you're all surprised.
