Your insight is truly amazing. Can you do card tricks, too? Further, of course I could just try and have a straight forward discussion...but those aren't nearly as entertaing, take twice as long, do a worse job at proving a point, and without restructuring the view point for the other party rarely succeed in changing anybodies mind. You may want to rethink your strategy because you didn't prove anything to anyone except yourself, and since you were already on your side, that was a given wasn't it? Impressing one's self isn't really all that impressive a talent. Twice as long to actually discuss it? Maybe, but then you may have actually made your point. Of course entertainment was listed first in your list, so I'll assume that is what was most important to you in your posts. Just wondering: What does your not watching FOX have to do with anything?(that sounds rude---i'm really asking, not being a ****) You may not, but plenty of other Americans do and a lot of them have no concept of the fact that it is even biased, much less downright manipulative. I'm confused, I thought you had me figured out. What's with the questions? A lot of Americans do see Fox, millions in fact, but I have to believe only a tiny portion of those don't know Fox for what it is. The real point is that 50 times the number of viewers who watch Fox watch the mainstream media. 50 times the actual viewer ship! The mainstream’s leaning is MORE difficult for the average Joe to detect because it isn't so overt as Fox's. Hmmm... political leanings that are more difficult to detect, reaches many, many more people, and is excused as being acceptable. Nope, that doesn't sound too bad. I guess the one thing we can agree on is the fact that leaning the news is wrong, but I also guess we'll have to differ on even the nuances of that since I see it ALL as wrong without having to make any excuses or exceptions for either side... Of course, you knew I'd say all that, but I figured I'd type it out so everyone else could further enjoy your prognosticative powers.
