That was the first type of machine I ever voted on. In NY.

CNN, MSNBC, CBS etc probably are on the Obama payroll. I like to look at both sides, I have a viewpoint b/c I do look at both sides of an issue.

Don't worry I'm not a McCain supporter, but in politics today I'm forced to vote for the lesser of evils.
You mean the CMPA that a former FoxNews contributor founded? That CMPA? I'm afraid I take them with a grain of salt.

To be clear, I wasn't meaning to suggest that Fox is slanted while other news sources lack biases of some kind. In fact, I tried to imply otherwise. I think it's better to admit that than to pretend they are objective (or fair or balanced). But, just based on my own observations, I just can't agree that Fox is the most balanced of them. Not saying it's the worst (in terms of objectivity -- I mean, there is still MSNBC), but I can't say it's the best either.
