The only show on Fox that is truly conservative, with no liberal counterpoint, is on at 3 in the morning. What does that tell you?

If you are using TV news as your primary source of information, then you are either sorely uninformed or purposely misinformed.

...I take it then, that you wish to only see programs pushing one side of any particular issue, which of course is your right...

...but you then imply that news gleaned any other way than your unifocal approach constitutes misinformation...just curious as to why you believe that an issue examined from various angles equals deliberate misinformation...I get that you might not like hearing another point of view, but purposeful misdirection???
...but, you could be right...

Your suggestion that I “don’t like hearing another point of view” is wrong and largely irrelevant to the point I was trying to make in my post.

I am pummelled by liberal viewpoints from all sources. To call my “approach” (which I haven’t given) as “unifocal” betrays a deliberate ignorance of the state of the modern media on your part.

Music. Advertising. Radio. TV. Newspapers. Magazine. I live in the Northeast. I get it from neighbors. Co-workers. Politicians. Schools.

Shall I listen to an hour of hateful emotion-driven ignorance that comes from Rachel Maddow (which is on at 8pm) to balance off the hour of Red-Eye (which is on at 3am)? 8pm vs 3am...is that what passes for balance in your view?

Or should I listen to “Mr. Fair-and-Balanced” himself...the “wisdom” of self-promoting Bill O’Reilly. Does listening to Ted Baxter, as he tries to convince his audience that Obama isn’t a socialist in-between his book and live-appearance promotions, pass for your type of balance?

Just who do you think provides (what is your “approach”) a fair presentation of both sides of an issue? Who will save me from my “unifocal” world?
