Attacking the messenger? It's not WB or C, it's Fox, lying. Maybe that's all right with you, it's not all right with me.

Kos or MoveOne, unlike Faux, don't claim to be "fair and balance"...only a complete simpleton would believe that.

I am still waiting for an example of a credible news source. I don't have cable, and therefore don't watch fox news. I do get c-span though, and consider that a good tool for finding out information. if obama doesn't want to do an interview on fox, that's his business, but I think fox should attack him non stop.

Apparently that was a comment that hit a little too close to home.

I'll throw The Jed Report in there too - in sincere hopes that you were JOKING when you cited it as a credible source.

I didn't see/hear any lies in that one either. More making mountains out of molehills, it looks like.

The other news media has to do this to Fox, as their own ratings are plummeting. The two videos I've seen also seem to want to represent commentators for hard news presenters.

Yeah, I think Bill O'Reilly is an oaf and Steve Doucey is kind of goofy himself, but I'd take these guys over Olbermann or Matthews for honesty any day.
