I know it is seen as the height if intellectualism by some on this board to belittle FoxNews (with juvy names now). To come on and say that "I never watch FoxNews" yet wax poetically about how bad the news is from Fox. Hmmmm....
It seems that slashing FoxNews is a way to get your intellectual stripes in this forum. Ad hominem attacks on sources and especially people disagreeable to your position is the obvious path to intelectual superiority.
Of the six times I have watched Foxnews in my lifetime I have never seen anything that would make believe that it is a bad news source. No worse or better than CNN and BBC which I watch daily or the NYT and Reuters which I read daily. They have plenty of excellent veteran new reporters, news chiefs, and news casters on their payroll.
Now the point of this thread....which I again am amazed that I need to explain. NYT and the BBC have been under criticism for some time now. NYT for, wrongly IMO, exposing a LEGAL covert-op bank surveilance. The BBC, much like the CBC, for not representing the views of the majority. NYT have since day one been backpedalling and now this from their ombudsman. BBC as well getting exposed for their biases.
I know, I know...I am part of the great NEO-con conspiracy to cover GW's complicity in whatever world domination scheme Dole has thought of this week.
