Frank Zappa once sang a song called: " I promise not to come in your mouth".........You better shut yours or im taking target practice!
"We are forced by law through taxes to pay for PBS, but to a much smaller degree." PBS coverage of the war has been extremely fair and the don't get Federal money anymore, just grants from huge non-profits and the occasional conglomerate.
Mondo, I believe PBS gets a significant amount of funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, whcih is taxpayer supported. You may recall there was a huge battle when the Republicans tried to cut back the funding for this several years ago. There is even less need for it now. If the Dem's are so concerned about deficits, here is a great place to start cutting.
Updated March 28, 2003 JOURNALIST EMBEDDED WITH FOX NEWS Assigned to Cover âFair and Balancedâ Network for Duration of War As part of an experimental new program initiated by the Defense Department, a journalist has been embedded with the Fox News Network, giving him unique access to the âfair and balancedâ network for the duration of Operation Iraqi Freedom. David Peterson, a reporter for the Akron Beacon-Journal, will be the only journalist living, working, and eating with Fox News staffers in the weeks to come. Mr. Peterson said that although he felt very much âlike an outsiderâ at the beginning of his stint with Fox News, he said that a mutual respect has grown between him and his hosts. âI think at first it was weird for them to have a journalist around,â Mr. Peterson said. Mr. Peterson said that he does his best to stay out of the way of his Fox News comrades, adding, âThey have their job to do and I have mine.â While the veteran journalist said he was excited about being embedded with Fox News, he admitted that his first days at the news channel had provided him with more than a few hair-raising moments. âYou can prepare all you want to be embedded at Fox News, but until youâre in the thick of it, you have no idea how scary a place Fox News can be,â Mr. Peterson said. The journalist added that even with the unfettered access he has been given to Fox News, the news channel has been careful to protect him from situations that it deems too dangerous. âIâm not allowed to talk to Bill OâReilly when heâs in the makeup chair,â he said. http://www.borowitzreport.com/default.asp
Fox News all the way!!! They are fair and balanced and say it like it is, then you decide. They always have opposing positions even their Financial programs are awesome. Bulls & Bears 10:00 AM Saturday's must be the best half hour stock show I know of. Brenda Butner is cool, she has some nice one liners, also the chartman comes up with some good one liners. Cashin In at 11:30 AM also good with Terry Keenan. Both of these shows are fair and balanced with opposing positions then you decide.
