Just the fact that the Obama Admin has "declared war" on FoxNews should tell you something. They are the only TV organization that is looking into the Democratic Congress and the Obama Admin. It is truly shameful that most of the Press is promoting and defending the Admin instead of investigating it! What happened to Objective Journalism?

As for the race thing. I don't agree with you that there is racial bias from Beck or O'Reilly. What examples do you have? Watch the whole show, not just things taken out of context. Read their books and judge for yourself. Don't take the word of others. I watch/read both sides and make up my own mind.

And you are correct. They are "opinion" shows and I realize that...therefore I dont judge all of FOX news on those clowns.

Again, I hate to even throw this out, but unless you are a minority, you may not see the things that they talk about in the same light as I do. Beck and O'reilly are ridiculously anti-hispanic and that bothers me. You want examples? Tune in to their show today and I GUARANTEE you will hear them talk about a minority group. I will NOT buy their books because I agree with NOTHING they have to say. Maybe I'm biased? Maybe I'm not? I just dont care for them one bit and have no desire to listen to heir anti-minority rants, day in and day out. Lets agree to disagree and leave it at that.
I agree to disagree....but "ridiculously obvious"...I don't think so. "Ridiculously anti-hispanic"? I have not picked up on that either. I do not understand your "anti-Hispanic" comment. Please explain. I don't think controlling our own borders is anti-hispanic, if that is what you mean. I will watch some today, and let you know if I hear them go on any "anti-minority rants". You do the same, and we'll compare notes. As far as you being biased, that is up to you. We all are all biased in some way. There has only been one person that has been truly unbiased.
