Re: It just dawned on me...

MY - I think today if it were tuly about ratings they woud be more like Fox. These people really have an agenda.

Fox is eating everybody's lunch... These peole are more agenda driven. The more they spew and spin the more people change to Fox and to a lesser extent, MSNBC. If they wanted their ratings to go up they would be more centrist.

Re: It just dawned on me...

can't debate that fox has sure found a niche'.<br />I certainly prefer them over all others.<br />the growth in the ratings should bring other<br />networks more towards their style if my claim<br />holds water... time will tell.

Re: It just dawned on me...

Thanks for the kind replies.<br /><br />MellowYellow, Yep your right. And that song was off of Don's "I can't Stand Still" LP. Great record, one of my all time fav's back when I still listened to secular music. The title track is one ofthe greatest heart break songs of all time, right there with with "Here's a Quarter," "You Got Lucky," "Say Hello and Wave Goodby," "Small Town Boy," "The Best was Yet to Come," and the all time, cry your eyes out, drink yourself into a stupor "All by Myself" by Eric Carman. Thats Carman, NOT Cartman

Soulwinner, That was one of the most incitefull and profound post I've seen in awhile. You get a right on and amen from me. <br /><br />I've had it with the major media news networks reporting only half truths it makes me sick. I now get my news from the radio. I will admit Rush does grate on me after awhile. <br /><br />Why can ther not be an impartial news organization that will post the truth and the whole truth w/o the slant left or right. Politically I'm a fence sitter who tends to vote either republican or libertarian, almost never democratic because they speak with forked tongue. But then most pol's and news types speak out of the side of their mounths. <br /><br />I don't know where I'm going with this other that to say no matter who is reporting we need to extricate our heads from our anal orifices and think for ourselves and examine not just the news but also the source of the news.

I could not agree more with the fact that we as individual must reseach the source of the news reports, but alot of the time the source is not available to the public because the media claims its protecting those sources.<br /><br />Who are they protecting them from?<br /><br />The lawyers who would persue them for giving out false information?<br /><br />Maybe the media would report the news the way it really is if they knew that they could be prosecuted for the lies that they report.<br /><br />Kenny

Re: It just dawned on me...

What gets me is the outragous salaries of these stinking news media people. The whole lot of them, women and men get outragous salaries to condemn and run down our country, and the people that love it. I have always said that the news media people are the second lowest life on earth, right above the scum that call themselves lawyers.

Re: It just dawned on me...

lakeman,<br /><br />You rank lawyers as scum?<br /><br />How can you rank them so high?<br /><br />I prefer to think of them as "primortial slop"<br /><br />And the newscasters are scum.<br /><br />No...actually they are prost!tutes, prying on the unaware public.<br /><br />They would say anything for money!<br /><br />Kenny
