To: Cincinatus' Wife
He watched "Fox and Friends" (a show I never watch), O'Reilly, and Shep Smith, and from this he gleans FOX doesn't give an accurate (read:liberal) slant on the news. And it ignores news Haggerty deems important. Like poverty in the third world.

I maybe watch about five hours of FOX news a week. I like Bret Baier's five o'clock report and the FOX all-star thing, and I occasionally watch some other FOX show. That's it. Like he says, does FOX ignore a lot of "important" news? Sure it does. Just like all the other news shows.

But he can't be honest. He dislikes FOX basically because it presents a view of the world which is mostly (but not always) at odds with his very liberal view of the world. It would be like one of us watching MSLSD for a month, and then announcing we didn't like it. So what?

At no time does Haggerty bother to express an opinion on political philosophy. Like all liberals, he chooses subjects, the government shutdown, and it's all the Republican's fault. Obama could never have anything to do with the shutdown or Obama's capricious actions to deliberately harm certain groups and not harm people/groups he favors. He never considers the role of government or how his liberal heroes pervert the proper role of government.

Basically, his article is typical liberal twaddle. He wrote it before he began his experiment. Haggerty doesn't want to be convinced about anything. He just doesn't want any contrary ideas about liberalism to seep into his head.

It’s tough to say Fox News is a news channel. I find it tough to get news from TV at all anymore.

Even though they dominate, and even though CNN can’t find its a$$ with map and compass, CNN has faster, and more complete, coverage of breaking news. Very frustrating.
