Of course, I know you are kidding. If you are not--you are totally out of touch with reality. I admit that I am a conservative, but I can be very objective in evaluating various networks without letting my conservatism cloud my judgement.

I will be the first to admit that generally speaking that FOX is more of a conservative station. However, they are fair and balanced in REPORTING NEWS with representatives from both sides of the issue given equal time. NO OTHER channel does that consistently.

I do watch the other networks just to get their "spin" and believe me there is much of it.

no i sure didn't.

i did that on purpose.

Well, we'll be getting a new digital sattelite TV system soon. The owner should be installing it sometime next month and I'm really getting psyched up about it. We'll be able to watch Al-Jazeera! Between BBC, CNN and Al-Jazeera, I'll finally be able to get balanced reporting from ALL perspectives

Now I just gotta learn Arabic

I seriously doubt that those 3 could be considered balanced by any standard.

I find the english news website al-jazeera maintains so bland, and so ... almost american, I wonder if the real one is hidden under it like some sort of conspiracy. It's like reading a CBS site.

Typical article on al-jazeera's website. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exer...08EA82DC2A.htm

Huh? I don't get it. Read that thing. I find it hard to believe somebody in Bahrain wrote that.

OK, backing up a few days. Remember the Limbaugh thing where Fox news had it headlined "Pill Charges"? Just a simple headline that said "Limbaugh claims innocence on pill charges."

Uhmmm... "Pill" Charges. Maybe they looked at it as prescription medication, regardless of how he got them, and decided "Drug charges" gave the wrong perception to the American people. A kind of "Fair and Balanced" reporting for the masses, regardless of political leanings of the people involved. After all, it was a prescription medication. Not really "drugs". They were.... pills. (Snicker.)

I think that's the case. They are sooo fair and balanced. No hoopla, no exagerations, NO SPIN.

Of course, headlining today's article on Kennedy's Ambien mishap as "DRUG DISTORTION?" in all capital letters makes sense in keeping with their fair and balanced prescription "pill" perceptions. (Heavy on that sarcasm...)

I am not and have never been a Limbaugh fan and as noted previously I said I did not have any problems with the various news agency leads on the Limbaugh story as long as the got the story right.

However, I will point out that there are SIGNIFICANT differences in the Kennedy story and the Limbaugh story. Limbaugh was aggressively investigated by liberal haters based on leaks that he was addicted to painkillers. He was NEVER noticeably under the influence in public.

Kennedy was in an accident under the influence which was the reason for the story. He will get off because he is a Kennedy and proper tests were not done at the time---because he is a Kennedy. You remember---like his dad years ago.

Again, I don't have any problems with the headlines as long as the story is reported correctly.

I am sure that conservatives WILL go on a feeding frenzy over the Kennedy situation, but it was a very public incident that started it.

You are joking right? I listen to NPR regularly and they give you both sides of the story, the center and the far left!

besides, click and clack are really annoying.

The public should go crazy, not just the conservatives. The cop said on the national news that the guy smelled of alcohol but they were ordered to NOT give him a breathalyzer and instead drive him home.

If I lived in that area I think I'd be recalling that police chief. It was a blatent abuse of power.

Hell, our state's attorney general was arrested and convicted for driving drunk and she is the state's highest ranking police official. Granted the govenor giving her job back to her was a mistake, but that is another story.

As for the most fair news reporting agency:

THERE ARE NONE!

Welcome to the Millennium of Agenda-based Reporting.

No one tells you what happened and only what happened without fluff. You just need to pick the fluff you like best.

For me, I usually watch NBC or ABC at dinnertime and then the BBC on public TV after that. It doesn't give me the whole story, but it gives me the subject matter so I can go dig up more opinions of the story online.
