>Call Ripley. We almost agree on something. However, I do like Fox news. With the exception of Glenn Beck, who has gotten progressively more whacky over the course of the last year, I do believe that, on the whole, they really are fair and balanced. They have liberal commentators as well as the condervative ones. No one would accuse Geraldo Rivera of being conservative and he has a regular show on Fox. Alan Colmes is a regular Fox news contributer and he is as liberal as it gets. And what about Bob Beckel who is also a Fox News contributor? Whenever the shows (both on Fox news and on Fox Business) host a panel, there are always both liberal and conservative members. Have you ever actually watched Fox news?

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia - you've never heard that before have you :)

The best place to get balanced news is (sadly) The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Some time back there was a study that showed that viewers of The Daily Show were significantly more informed and knowledgeable than regular watchers of any other news program.

All US news outlets spoon feed the news. To get real perspective you have to include english.aljazeera.net and BBC

IMO: Fox news is the worst offender of all the networks for allowing that POS Glenn Beck to have a show. What an effing moron that guy is. Seriously. His IQ must be in the 80's.
