Jane Akre and Steve Wilson were fired from Fox for not lying.

NO, I am not the one wearing blinders of the liberal stripe here. Rather lost his job for what he did, then continuing to insist that the lies he told were true in the face of evidence to the contrary. If he had just admitted an error and let it go, he would still have his job.

As for the other news outlets, picking and choosing what they report in an effort to slant the news to their liking is the same as a lie. You should know, you practice the same tactic yourself in attacking any who would dare to disagree with your proclaimations.

Fixes, as in neutering the rights of the people? Stepping into private lives of people, in the name of what is best for them?

I certainly hope for your sake you enjoy having a nanny.

Out of curiosity, what is your opinion of Michael Moore?

Obviously. Which is why I listen to NPR in the mornings before work. They present it straight up, with no coloration. Try it sometime.

Injecting the word "wingnut" merely displays your bias.
It's true. I am biased towards a moderate, anti-stupid point of view. Fox's blatant desire to wrap up the bozo audience holds no appeal for me.

Is that bias I detect in your tone?

Because they can't tolerate opposing points of view?

If the opposing point of view is intellectually dishonest and dangerous why should they?
