BTW - that quote is a rather well known one
Something I've never heard, nor had my circle once I brought it up. I wonder
if it is well known in the north?
We don't get Fox 5 here, I'm not sure what that is, but we do get Fox News.
Five examples in a slew of networks, newspapers, magazines, etc. still leaves
me wondering. However, I do agree with whoever said it all depends on where
you are coming from what your point of view is on this. Sean Hannity of Fox
News is presented in a fair and balanced way, though, because he is up against
his opposite, Alan Colmes, so I'm certainly not buying that as right-wing
domination.

These things stick out like sore thumbs to us but then Europe has a much
freer press which does tend to question the Govt and be more liberal.
We used to listen to Bill O'Reilly and Good Ol' Rush for the sheer jaw
dropping amazement. Heather wanted to know why those two hated just
about everyone who wasn't white male and Christian. Hard to explain the
why's n wherefore's to an 11 yo.
Fortunately for me Heather is now interested in something else but she
did make an observation based on her previous fascination with
advertising, that if you say something enough then poeple will believe
it depiste evidence to the contrary. "The media is liberal" "Iraq was
involved in 9/11" (50% of Americans still belive that one) "Bowflex will
you you the perfect body in 6 weeks" ahem, Yeah sure.
Anyway, I should get packing.
