Say What You Want About Dan Rather...

That won't do, Bj.

The slant of the network is tied to the image they project, and Fox presents a "hard-right" image with all of their shows. I know the difference between news and entertainment, believe me. However, there is no way you can spin Fox as any more reputable than CNN, CBS, ABC, or NBC.

You've hit on one thing though... FOX has done its demographic research, and are serving up what people want to hear. Does that make it news? Of course not.

That said, there is no true "unbiased" news source. Best to take news from opposing news sources and find the middle.

Ok..I'll agree with that---(But I'll wager there are more liberals on Fox than conservatives on all the other nets combined:p )

If you count Ann Coulter and Bill O' Reilly as liberals, then yes.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
