Tom, what is it that Fox is supposed to have done?

Don't you remember? They rigged those pickup trucks to blow up on their
show 20/20. Oh wait, that was NBC.

I'm still trying to figure out what Fox supposedly did and if it is the Fox
mothership or an affiliate.

You don't understand, Wes. We're supposed to just blindly accept that
Fox has done (insert vague hand-waving here) something wrong, without
being pesky and asking for details. Their next move is, I believe, to
call one or both of us a "neocon".

Dave, I have seen it myself....repeatily.

Locally the Fox affiliate is FAR RIGHT leaning and actively censors
any news that is negative to the current Adminstration.

In a recent big news day about Iraq, I happened to watch several other
local news outletss and they ALL interviewed the Congressmen from both
parties....and when I watch the Fox station that night, only the
Republican representatives were interviewed...and the Fox spokeman
specifically noted that they had gone to great pains to gather ALL the
information on the subject.

Now I know how the every day German felt under the Nazis.

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture
that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political
correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the
competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr

What makes me laugh the most is recollection of a joke from my
Yout'.

Sweet young thing comes home and tells her roomie "I think I want to
go to the Gran Prix in France!"
Her roomie says "Oh dear, I think you are in for a big
disappointment. For starters, that is not how it is pronounced."
