I don't at all.
I still check CNN often, because its the easiest URL to type (i'm THAT lazy), but I try and check the BBC often as well... they are one of the news sources that seems to be truly unbiased... reuters too.

Wow. Now I know why 56% of all Americans believe that Saddam Hussein played a direct role in the planning of the September attacks.
Our founding fathers were certainly onto something when they considered the average American to be too ignorant to vote directly for our governmental officials.

Bush (Cheney?) has pulled the plug on Chalabi, after buying so much of the BS he'd previously been selling.
Wasn't Chalabi pushing the UN oil/food scandal angle too?

Why yes. I do think they were talking about you and all the rest who ingest whatever the media drops on the floor for you.
Get opposing viewpoints from various sources & do your own thinking. Don't be a bleeting sheep for Dan Rather & his kind.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I watch Fox News because I was sick and tired of watching "news" on CNN, and the likes, whose only goal was to make any Republican in office look bad. When a news station finally shows a point of view other than liberal, it is somehow more biased??? And you should try watching Fox News more often. You tell me how having, for example, someone that is for the war and someone who is against the war on at the same time debating is biased? Or how about one of their news shows, Hannity & Colmes; one conservative and one liberal reporting boths sides of the table?? We have had this argument before in another thread, so you can bring that thread back up to the top and take your ignorance there.... -Nick

I do. I watch Fox and regularly check out the Drudge Report. The last times I had a chance to watch Fox, Sean Hannity and some other "expert" were claiming that the whole Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal was solely and totally the result of 10 misguided low-ranking soldiers and that once we removed these 10 bad apples, everything would be fine.
I think they were serious but I can't imagine that even Hannity believed this line of BS.

So you believe that their superior officers really ordered them to shame these prisoners? You probably also think that Donny Rumsfeld himself went over there to check it out and snapped a few pictures too?

Actually, it was President Bush on the camera, and Powell on the camcorder... CNN told me so

(Flame suit on) I'm surprised Fox found a token liberal willing to legitimize Hannity by agreeing to appear with him. Even a thoughtful conservative like George Will would take a hot soapy shower and go for a medical check-up after sitting in a room close to Hannity.
Hannity couldn't carry William Buckley's jockstrap. So why couldn't Fox do better for both speakers on that show? Was Fox snubbed by better representatives of the right?
