I believe maybe 50 percent of what I hear from CNN, NBC, CBS and maybe 2 % from Fox.
When did reporting the news mean giving opinions? With TV, internet, newspaper, radio we can educate ourselves with the facts. Unless we are a=holes like Pat Robertson who believes the poor people of Haiti deserve this horrible thing.
I laugh at the dripple Fox puts on the air because like Pat Robertson I can't believe what I am hearing or that anyone would believe some of the things that are said.
Last week on Fox there were 4 people debating and one women (don't know who she was) said that the American people are NOT worried about health care they are worried about their jobs, HELLO HELLO, excuse me but many people get their health care through their work, no job no health care. I couldn't believe she said that, it was so shocking and stupid.
And yet millions of people watch Fox and millions think Pat Robertson is great, go figure, it's a mad, mad world out there.
First you say you don't watch it, then you say you do watch it. If you do watch it, then you know that all news channels have their opinion shows. CNN has their round table, MSNBC has Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow. Chris Matthews has his Hardball show. However, they all also have news, Fox being no exception.

If you consider yourself to be liberal, then can you be liberal enough to accept w/out judgment that others have views that differ from yours? It doesn't mean that they're stupid or extreme, just that you're on opposite sides of an issue. We're all Americans who love our country and we basically want freedom and justice for all, correct? Just b/c Fox ran a story about Pat Robertson doesn't mean that they agree w/him any more than CNN agrees w/him and they ran the same story. Fox and Pat Robertson don't go together any more than CNN and Pat Robertson do. Robertson has his own show on a religion channel. That's called news, Monica, and not "dripple". (I assume you mean to say "drivel". I don't make it a habit of correcting others but I looked up the word "dripple" to be sure that I'm not misspeaking and it doesn't appear to be a word, unless it's a slang word w/which I'm unfamiliar.)
