Thanks for the URL. I had not seen that one. <br /><br />That was an interesting point he made about nineteenth century papers openly representing a point of view. The newspaper in my old home town was the product of the merger of (along with another paper) the Sonoma Democrat and the Santa Rosa Republican. No secret about their points of view! Seems like there was less BS floating around in those days. <br /><br />I guess I would just add that, though news media cannot be "objective" in the sense in which the hard sciences are, they can and should be accurate and fair.Lester Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746157071827337723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657443.post-79531205741193050172009-10-23T19:36:47.856-05:002009-10-23T19:36:47.856-05:00Found this on twitter today:

Also, as various people have pointed out, they seem to get in touch with their inner libertarians -- when they are not in power!Lester Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746157071827337723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657443.post-56035494151238410652009-10-15T12:15:08.192-05:002009-10-15T12:15:08.192-05:00A point I didn't make is that Fox is much bett...A point I didn't make is that Fox is much better as an opposition organization with a Democratic / liberal administration, as opposed to being cheerleaders for the home team, which is nauseating. So if I were going to watch cable news, I'd lean Fox right now.Mark Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024267543964793886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657443.post-15720008717315574922009-10-15T12:05:41.889-05:002009-10-15T12:05:41.889-05:00Although I disagree with them often, I watch Fox m...Although I disagree with them often, I watch Fox more than the other TV news outlets. CNN is just boring. MSNBC is as predictable as Hannity (whom I don't watch for that reason). Also, as everyone knows by now, Fox reports events that aren't even covered by most outlets -- until their reporting changes the course of real world events and the other guys <i>have to</i> report them.Lester Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746157071827337723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657443.post-36313803201984907772009-10-14T21:11:27.761-05:002009-10-14T21:11:27.761-05:00I'm glad to see Tucker has a place at Fox.

Also nice to see they hired Stossel.Mark Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024267543964793886noreply@blogger.com
