#1 This should remind us that of the many differences between the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq, the three most important are talk radio, Fox News, and the Internet.

Yep!

#2 I don't know why everyone likes FOX. Sure, they are better than CNN and they do squeak a few ideas out - but when was the last time you saw them do anything other than reinforce what CNN or any other outlet says by asking it in the form of a question? SHOULD ROVE BE FIRED? SHOULD WE BRING OUR TROOPS HOME? SHOULD FOX CONTINUE TO REPORT ON ABU GHARIB 24/7? To those who understand - that's just a reinforcement of the point that CNN and other anti-American outlets are trying to make.

Ever seen them do a report on the good our soldiers are doing? Ok - maybe you can find one or two - but for the most part it's all about the car bombs and "should" we go home. I've never seen them do a report on the starvation in Korea or the brutality of the Muslim world. Not one report on the daily slaughter of Christians and damn few on the UN food Oil for Food scandal.

I think FOX gets way too much credit when what I see is an organization that simply repeats the same negative information - but simply asks it in the form of a question.

Watch for that and you'll see I'm right.

#3 FOX? Isn't that the all-Halloway-all-the-time channel?

FOX is less biased then the rest of them. But isn't totally unbiased. They also do their measure if sensationism.

#4 I get a little tired of the Fox sophomoric banter at times.

#7 I like Fox better than the networks but I get annoyed with their meaningless "chatter" at times. I don't particlarly like the "Friends" format as I never really liked that program. It always struck me as just silly and inane. The news should just be reported without an attitude--or how about telling the truth occasionally instead of contriving the news to the way you would like it? I get so tired of the MSM arbitrating morals and values for the rest of us like we are bunch of idiots to be controlled via the newspaper and television spoon. I got a kick out of an interview that Don Imus has with Andy Rooney the other day. Andy Rooney did not care for Dan Rather because his liberal biases were too obvious. O.k. to be a left wing moonbat according to Rooney but just don't wear it on your sleeve. So, the key to be a successful MSM reporter or anchor, in his view, is to be subtle about your left-wing biases.

#8 Ala Oliver Stone's flick JFK, Rather did investigative specials both for and against Lee Harvey Oswald being the lone assassin of POTUS Kennedy, ergo trust the MSM. Even KOS from DAILY KOS/KosKids was depicted on FNC as saying that one of the primary reasons the Dems are losing/dying as a Party is that Dem candidates follow only the polls - they flip-flop or waffle depending on the poll(s) of the moment. NOT TO INDIC THAT OTHERS IN THE AUDIENCE DID NOT SUPPORT KOS's STATEMENTS, BUT ONLY ONE PERSON CLAPPED WHEN KOS SAID THAT DEMS MUST REALIZE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE AMER PEOPLE WANT LEADERS WID MORAL CENTERS, LEADERS WHOM WILL TELL THE TRUTH AND DO WHATS BEST FOR AMERICA BECUZ OF THEIR CORE BELIEFS, NOT MOMENTARY POLLS OR NEPOTISM/SPEC FAVORS.
