BTW ... I was looking at news ratings the fast few weeks, did you know that Fox News in prime time hours are getting as much as five times the viewership of CNN and MSNBC? If this is a luny right wing station, why do so many Amercians watch it? I thought the vote was split down the middle?

Because Fox tells the people what they want to hear. Plain and simple. They expound about how well the war is going and what a great job that Bush is doing and that the economic outlook is all peaches and cream. They LIE but the people watching drink it in because its what they want to hear and wish were reality. Thinking in that same vein, Al Jazeera is the most watched news station in the Middle East. Does that make them right? Popularity hardly means you're right. It just means you're telling the people what they wish to hear.
