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?

Yeah, it is pretty popular these days to pick on Fox for being an uncredible news source, but when it comes down to it, you should never take anything you hear/read at face value. You should think for yourself on ANY issue, and based on how much info there is out there, and how fast new information is being made available, I think the average person feels innundated/overwhelmed and would rather just trust whoever makes them feel the best, or who they relate to the most.
Personally, I can't watch Fox news because I feel like they are trying to make me afraid of things that I don't need to be afraid of. That, and they yell like crazy. CNN is no better. BBC is okay. CBC can be okay at times... but really - there is no one news source that I can trust completely.
