In other words, you deliberately choose a news source that is biased
towards your own views, so as to not be faced with disagreeable facts.

That's what you do, so why shouldn't I?

This is called "spin." Your news source is spin. You then claim that
everything & everybody that disagrees with you is spin.

Mine spins to the right, while yours spins to the left. Hopefully the
truth will fallout in the middle.

That's exactly what everyone else does when they watch the other news
outlets which are spun and biased the other way.


Does this sound smart to anybody but Dave?

It does when you aren't living in that large river in Africa.

Anymore, we accept non-stop spin and editorializing as news.

It's the Age of MacLuhan, Part 2... *everything* is advartising.

Advertising is fine when you're choosing between Coke or Pepsi, but in
choosing political leaders it is a bit more destructive.

The issue here is that Dave (and his fascist whacko pals) are trying to
foist their advertising on us and insist that it's true.

As opposed to the socialist wacko liberal network pals trying to foist
their advertising on us and insisting that it's true?

But it doesn't
work in real life, and while they admit it's all fantasy, they insist
that everyone must dance to the tune. The question is how long democracy
can survive under this assault. Maybe not even until November...

Oh get down off your high horse Doug. You make it sound as if Fox news
is biased horribly to the right, while the rest of the news agencies
are perfectly objective. If you truly believe that then you are a
bigger nut case than you accuse me of being.

If not, then why do you believe that Fox has any less right to present
a counter bias to that of the other networks?
