Fair and Balanced, You Decide is what they pitch. They are not the RNCs propaganda tool, they are not responsible for putting out conservative talking points. But, by having both sides presenting the story it gives people a chance to decide for themselves what they want to believe. You simply don't get that anywhere else.

Frankly, that's all you can ask for.

Agreed.

As I read the posts I thought I was losing my mind, but at least one other person agrees with me!!!

Doesn't mean I'm not losing my mind...just not on this issue.

No it isn't. The left has 3 major networks plus CNN, C-SPAN, and the major networks' spin-off news channels spewing leftist propaganda 24/7. Our side needs at least one news channel that reports the news and features only commentaries from a conservative perspective. Having one so-called "fair and balanced" outlet going up against a 1/2 dozen or more openly leftist outlets is certainly not what I call fair or balanced.

Millions of middle of the road Americans don't even know what the conservative position is on most major issues, all they know is the lies and distortions pumped out around the clock by CNN and the major networks. After all, it must be true because they couldn't say it on TV if it wasn't, right? WRONG! The MSM LIES.

I agree. It's interesting to watch Fox dismantling CNN, mainly by hiring away its talent pool. This is a money game ultimately, and it's all about ratings. I think the present management of CNN is more likely to think twice before telling Murdoch (as T. Turner did early on) that CNN will squash Fox like a bug. The 'squashing' has been instructive to watch.
