Until my cable company finally consented to pipe in Fox News (after arguing with them for four years), I could not bear to watch the liberal mainstream media warp the minds of the public.

I don't watch Fox News that often as it turns out, but when I do, I find they are attempting to present an alternative and comparative view of what we loosely term "news" these days.

I appreciate their efforts and the fact they are successful in ratings and numbers demonstrates to me, a definite need and desire by the majority of the public to cover all sides of an issue.

I think it takes courage to view every aspect, especially of global events and evolutionary processes within nations and their governments, and for one to be insular in the pattern of information taken in, one is only getting half or less of the truth.

This is what academia has become, as is our press, and it is up to the good people such as those who frequent these forums, to see all sides of the issues are presented fairly with veracity.

Otherwise, we are lost and might as well succumb to a one station country such as communist regimes offer.

I shame CBS and who I believe is the most vulgar in their criticism aimed at the present government, and think that interview was primarily aimed at getting controversial numbers rarings, as well as accomplishing their favored Bush bashing agenda. Shame shame shame.

What was once a revered electronic publishing news and editorial information source, has become a panderer to publicity and remuneration.

Plus, when they reference a story from another Murdoch company, the talknig head will state that the source is "owned by the parent company of this network" - and sometimes the stage crew will join in as well.

I'd recommend that you at least watch Hannity & Colmes at 9 PM EST to catch Sean Hannity's perspective, then branch out to catch other shows thruout the day, such as the evening news blocks from 6 PM to 8 PM. That's a step in the right direction that you're taking.
