<DIV>You know there is a reason that Fox News is at the top of the ratings, which is what Television is all about. It is because it hires people that deliberately say things to divide and enrage people. You are being played. They want you to watch, get mad, yell at the TV or radio, call your friends and tell them to listen to what some outrageous host said on FOX. It is all garbage, and it is true for CNN and MSNBC as well. Media isn't biased right or left, it is biased to do what ever gets you to watch. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My advice is to cut your cable. It is worthless. You are better off spending those countless hours you spent listening to FOX, CNN, and <SPAN>MSNBC</SPAN> instead reading a good book, working a second job, volunteering your time to a worthy cause, or fixing that leaky faucet you have been meaning to get around to.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Don't be played, people that shell out $80 a month to listen to Glen Beck and ilk and their commercials are fools.</DIV>

<DIV id=yiv11753139>All opinions are viable? That is bullshit. I'll spare you examples. And a wingnut is not a communist. There is a difference between mere insults and spreading fear and telling lies in order to get people elected. I don't see any major "liberal" news agencies saying that Republicans are Nazi's. I don't. Again there are differences between Fox and other "news" agencies that you fail to note.<BR><BR>And you're confused about the First Amendment. Certainly it allows me to say a whole bunch of stuff but much of it is NOT allowed by common decency. If you can't see that, that's sad. It's like saying that once you move away from home you should eat candy all day long just because your mother isn't around to prevent you. Grow up.<BR><BR>You have the right to do plenty of things that you just shouldn't do. Don't use the freedoms of our country to justify bad behavior. Don't use it to justify the fact that Fox is full of folks who lack a common
sense of decency and a respect for the truth. You can't justify the bad with the good.<BR><BR>
