"Anyone really interested in being "fair and balanced" would be seeking to insure media is more fair.." |

You're right about Fox being balanced. They give both President Bush's views and Vice President Dick Cheney's views. And sometimes they throw in a liberal punching bag like alan colmes to make themselves look "fair." |

You libs overlook the fact that Fox News is loaded with a lot from your own tribe. Greta VanSustren is liberal, Geraldo Rivera is so far left he can't even get his car to make a right turns. Alan Colmes, though pretty stupid, is a flaming liberal. These people occupy a heavy portion of Fox's prime time. |

We've been through the Fox news thing already. I'm more interested in exploring Herb's contention that "CNN and others of their ilk" only present one side of an issue. Without sarcasm I ask: |

"How many sides need to be presented before news is "fair and balanced"?" |

A good interview, CJ. It is late and I don't have time to an extended response to the ideas presented (I largely agree with them). You get extra bonus points for sharing an interview when they make comparisons to the Edsel at 8:10 (though the analogy is unfortunately factually incorrect) |

"But your question also begs the question of how a so-called 'fairness doctrine' could be fair if it doesn't provide many sides. And notice how only talk radio is affected. It appears that a doctrine of fairness doesn't apply to those in TV and print media." |

yawn, over and over again we go. how the heck does "fair and balanced" FOX News mislead so many people into believing WMDs have been found in Iraq? How come the other so-called "lefty" networks score better? |

"...how can Fox News claim to be "fair and balanced" if it doesn't provide many sides? It almost always provides only two." |

This video clip will show you how disparate the left is to keep Fox News from disseminating the truth. |

In a way,Fox News could be called very "fair and balanced". |

Lewis Black got a smoothie from me at one of my downtown restaurants last week before performing at the Schnitz. I had no clue who he was, he totally looked like an unassuming man in thick glasses, real nice guy, asking me about the wheat grass ... I asked him if he had a night club (again not knowing who he was, and seeing "Black Humour, Inc." on his credit card) and he told me he was performing at the Schnitz ... one of my employees swooned at the sight of Lewis Black, it was funny. |

You wish I was right about what? I haven't even said anything to be right about. I asked you what YOU believe. |
