Fair and Balanced?

From the AP:

Fox links to the story on AP's website. So, why change the title?

Because Fox IS Rupert Murdoch.

It's a billionaire jerk off's private network broadcasting as far as he can his stupid agenda.

while i do agree, i dont think his grip is as iron clad as most people seem to think...

but one thing i think we can all agree on is that a bank account in the billions belonging to a "privatus" is far more powerful than any elected official could ever hope to achieve without that kind of paper...


billionairesd make more policy than elected officials... unchecked capitalism is true freedoms greatestest enemy... 1984 isnt that much of a stretch from today... some asian countries will beat us to it tho...

Did both of those stories link to the same story? And if so, did the polls how he was not polling well with white women?

And why are you all over Fox for not being "fair and balanced"? Would you consider them fair and balanced if they accepted anonymous faxes from Kinko's as facts (CBS), or rigged GM trucks to explode in order to blast GM (NBC)?

Yeah, the Nazis, The Communists of the USSR, Cuba, North Korea, and China murdering hundreds of millions of human beings pales in comparison. :rolleyes:

FYI, in a true capitalist society, the consumer decides what is produced. It's called the free market. If the people don't want something in enough numbers to make it economically viable, it's not made. Unlike now where we have Governments subsidizing things people don't want (electric cars), and even subsidizing things they themselves say is dangerous to society (tobacco). Let the marketplace decide. That's true freedom.

Remember: big business didn't throw people in gas chambers, big government did.
