I think I'll actually buy one of O'Reilly's books for you Lew, and send it to you for your birthday, you must be a big fan. :D

I still believe the biggest reason they take so much heat if for the fact they have been so successful. Do I think they are biased? Oh yea, but no more than other news agencies or newpapers in this country.

It is all a part of the polarization between the two most prevelent attitudes in this country.

No, they just blame someone or something else.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

The ironic part of this, of course, is that FoxNews is only slightly less leftist than something like CNN.  None of the major news outlets are truly right-of-center.

Here is something to chew on..Fox reports look just like CNN when reporting the news. The biggest difference are the shows, you know, the political shows. Fox is slanted right, CNN is slanted left. The liberals are having a tizzy that they no longer own the market on the left-slanted political shows...therefore they lash out in anyway they can, :furious such as the link in this initial post. Funny to watch. Entertaining!:aok

Although I dislike the motivation behind that link..you have to admit the Monty Python bit on the last one was pretty dang funny:D
