It makes me wonder why Fox News uses the slogan "fair and balanced." The only two anchors on Fox News who have any credibility in my mind are Alan Colmes and Chris Wallace. The rest of them are drones who are in lockstep with Bush and Cheney.

See this is my point ...
says who?
proven by what?
with what back up sources?
Who holds these guys accountable?
The way the world works now ... I can be a decent young film maker that cherry picks what he wants and fires something up on youtube in ten minutes and find myself quoted as fact by guys like you for the rest of time.
dig around a bit and you find out just how cherry picked these things are.
Gore's movie cherry picked like crazy on global warming, but then so too did the GM Swindle movie from BBC going the other way.
Bottom line neither can be trusted.
Man CBS News was caught with their pants down, so to have the NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, you name it ... they've all been hammered.
Now are they all mistakes but Fox is lying or is there a bigger issue at play here in all media outlets that should cause us all concern in all directions and not just in the direction that our individual ideology disagrees with?
