I really tried watching Foxnews - and couldn't put anything together, except that they will always have more coverage on so-called sports than on the affairs of the whole rest of the world, and then all that put together will be shorter than the announcements, ads and opening/closing credits. And Fox is surely not an independent news publisher - in my opinion.

Just a counter-quote:
"Another buried A13 article, by Eric Schmitt, began thus: "Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld suggested publicly for the first time yesterday that Iraq might have destroyed chemical and biological weapons before the war there." A typical American news junkie might consider this stunning revelation, coming after repeated Administration claims of the contrary, front-page news. RUMSFELD ADMITS: WE LIED in 72-point type sounds about right, coupled with a lead editorial calling for Bush's impeachment--but not to Schmitt's editors."

But then, you've already written off my sources as unreliable, and I have yours. As our writer Milorad Pavich wrote in "The Dictionary of Khazars", "The truth is but a trick".
