Shut the Fox Up! Now if only it cut the cost of it off the cable bill... and the other 1054 channels I'll never watch. Oh wait... I forgot... [smug]I don't have cable.[/smug]

May I ask why you don't like FOX cable?

Setting aside the fact that Fox is annoying to watch, even for a so-called conservative like myself, is there any news source that is balanced enough that both sides are represented fairly? MSNBC has surprised me by having a little variety in their broadcasters.

I usually don't watch the news...that is why I am so ignorant to most of the stuff happening.

You should watch/read the news everyday - you'd be suprised what you can learn about the world and about yourself :)

I don't watch much news... I google it.

Pretty much everything you could ever want there... from all sides (and I mean ALL sides!). They even link to Aljazeera). Sure... you have to be able to read... but since you're reading this, I think you probobly have that covered.

Often when people can't deal with a particular message, they attempt or accomplish the killing of the messenger. (The entire Easter season comes to mind, along with Dr. King, Ghandi, etc.)

(Note that I am not attempting to Preach to Miftah, or teach Pigs to dance, these are just my observations.)

I find Al Frankenstien and NPR just as full of propaganda and as far to the left as SOME Fox reporters appear to be to the right.

Note that Fox does have it's left wingers .. Greta and Geraldo come to mind .. not to mention Alan Combs (who I generally like to listen to).
