I think that is what you think I do.

I could not disagree more...

Instead - I rebut the assertion that some make that everything is fine. I pose a more realistic opinion for those who inquire as to what to do - or what will possibly happen. There are those - and we know who they are - that say Fox is "no worse" than other segments on a relative basis. I suppose on pure #'s - that argument can be made - but that argument is premised on a fraction of the relevant data that is available. I concede that much - if not all the info is anecdotal - but that does not make the info invalid.

I am not a prophet of doom - one who preaches FUD as it relates to Fox. Rather, I give my assesments of generally observable fact - and render an opinion. To attack those opinions as being FUD is not to attack the opinions at all. Rather, it is a strawman/ad hom. attack at best.

If you really disagree with my observations and conclusions, then attack the basis of those conclusions instead of just labeling them as FUD. To label them as fud is no more valid than to label them as wrong - because you say they are wrong.
