Couldn't resist a little troll, Fuhon, that's all. I didn't click through the article, since I didn't really care.

All the news stations have an agenda, as well as a political lean. Fox is just a little more vocal about it than the others. But the failings of modern "journalism" is more than worthy of a whole other thread.

So back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I don't consider Fox reporters to be journalists, they make a mockery of my profession.

Ok then. I was just showing you what defending my tv/news habits would look like so there would be no confusion in the future. I continue to sit through and watch some of the shows I complain about so I can stay current on what makes them so terrible. If there was a better way to hear the full story I would do it.

I try to get all sides of an issue, even the sides I disagree with. Some people just watch the station that tells them what they want to hear. The more I watch of a tv station the more I end up disagreeing with it for the one-sided representation of issues. The people reporting the news turn out to be the most extreme representation of the stories; they spend so much time looking at things that they get caught up in the side that everyone around them has.

News is struggling without the boost from the last election cycle; unless you happen to catch one of the groups asking for a bailout in front of congress. It was entertaining listening to a Paulson underling get criticized for AIG allocating a 3 million dollar bonus to an executive of a company that would have failed without taxpayer intervention; but usually its annoying to listen to congressmen putting on a show and pretending to care.

US in a recession and they feel this is news worthy. Love it.
