Well MagiK, I won't bother reponding to your first reply - just the usual abrasive mixture about how people are not answering your questions that I and any number of posters have suffered through before. I know that you like answers to be "yes/no" and "black/white". You would rather I didn't draw analogies, make comparisons, or discuss the why behind the questions. Our styles are somewhat different -that is a circular discussion that has never gone anywhere in the past and I figure is unlikely to tonight.

On your last post about journalistic classification I agree that the divisions are not clear. However, if FOX commentary qualifies as news, then I don't see under the same rules why MM commentary couldn't qualify as a factual documentary. We could perhaps agree on one point - that standards appear to have slipped from what we both hope they were.
