Oh, love how everyone is trying to "back down" telling us to not turn this political, it turned political the second the OP posted the video. Nice try at spin.
You raise a good point. I really do not use the TV to get news outside of the local area. Most of my news is consumed in print and from a variety of web sources - some of which are print analogs.
Controversy after controversy - one thing never changes. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
My early career was journalism. Luckily, I turned a corner and was led elsewhere. I think the press has succumbed to mass media - and abbrogated their responsibility to the people.
OT - The Glenn Beck story was alarmist nonsense.
I get my news from Drudge Report, everything on one page that is SIMPLE to use and read. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, it is NOT like what all the liberal scream it to be. If anyone has ever looked at it and clicked on the links, they all go to different sources from all over the freaking world for different points of views. Not just America. Plus the topics are right to the point, no vagueness.
Actually the reason was quite clear.
The fox news "bashing" was done in a generally light and humours way. THe retort was completely uncivil and emotionally out-of-control.
That's why one is given a pass and the other wasn't.
The "pro fox" statements were properly derided for their hysteria. Had a thoughtful reply been made, no censure would have followed.
What's reported and what's believed are up to the individual...
However this fact also presents a conundrum in and of itself...
