I turned them all off in Jan. 2000. Except for when I go to bed at night, I never turn on a tv. Even at night, I watch something like HGTV, and am asleep pretty shortly. I get all my “News” from FR—if it isn’t here, I don’t need to know it!

One thing about having the tv in the off position is that you have time to read lots of books!

Same here, I do not get my news from any major media, they are all in the bag, it's just a question as to what extent. I get my news from FR, Rapture Ready, etc. I think Fox feels like it secured its place by catering to a conservative audience, and is ready to go after an even bigger share by "moderating". After all, where would conservative viewers go? Certainly not to the other networks and cable channels. It was never about being "the conservative voice", it was about making their mark by filling in a niche that had been ignored, for reasons of business and ratings. They've done that now, it's time to go after the rest.
