Hello All!

Its funny to see Demoncrats/liberals bitch and moan about Fox News Channel,
after enjoying so so many years of having a unencumbered view of the news
from a left slanted slew of alphabet soup networks..

A Cable News Channel, whether it is Fox, CNN, MSNBC isnt much different
from newspapers..

They all have a news dept, a sports dept, business dept, entertainment dept
and yes a editorial dept.

Lets see, whats in the news...

Earthquake in Indonesia
Earthquake in Baja California
Coal Mine Disaster in West Virginia

or a couple weeks back..

House passes healthcare reform bill..

All the networks reported this with their news departments and reported the
same set of facts, including Fox.

In the case of the disasters above, all the networks engage in seeking out
reactions from those locally affected..

In the case of politically centric news, such as the healthcare vote, all
sought out reactions from both camps.

Now if you want to indict Fox for being a right wing mouthpiece, then go
after their editorial department...

But to be fair, target the same department at the other networks, for them
being a left wing mouthpiece.

If you all cannot distinguish the difference between the news people and
those with an opinion, I pity all left wingers.

After all, Fox reporting that a earthquake rattling such and such location
with such and such on the richter scale, hardly seems partisan, especially
with their competitors saying the same exact thing.
