Oh, like FoxNews is any better. If you want accurate and unbiased news, check BBC or NPR.
NPR!?!?!? They are about a left as you can get.
Their programming is certainly left of center, but their news reporting is as unbiased as you will find.

They're not as bad as some, but they are not balanced in their news reporting either.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Agreed. I listen to NPR while on the road a lot, and they will ignore straight out facts to twist a story at times. And their call-in shows are horribly left of center, I tend to laugh more than anything during the shows because they are so far off center.

Accurate? At times. Unbiased? No way in Hell.

Yeah, but he's right about Blitzer and CNN TV coverage.

Security was definetly tighter than normal. We took a trip to Colorado and security was about normal when we left Detroit. On the return through Vegas, it was much different. A lot more employees were working, and the high security risk line was longer. I was lucky enough to get the high security line. Any liquid or gel based product was thrown out (water, hand lotion, liquid medicines, shampoo, tooth paste etc). They ran my carry-on through the xray machine twice. Afterwards they quickly searched through it. The lady in front of me was given a complete pat down and her carry on was completly searched.
Then boarding the plane, everybody's carry on was given another quick search before boarding. Crazy!
