I don't have a large problem with the news reporting itself, but the commentators on that channel are notorious liars and often pull facts out of their ass...

I guess you have failed to see the many liberal commentators that they have on at various times. I remember watching their coverage of the RNC and thought I was watching CNN the way two of the commentators were trashing the Republican Party and the happenings at the convention.

there's a difference in the context of HAN, because people are going to be more likely to trust the new york times. otherwise, i don't personally read the NY times on a daily basis either, so i try not to form an opinion based on what others say. my original point to bonzo was that simply bringing up fox news (and only fox news) wasn't going to do him much good, since most on this board aren't likely to take it seriously. but he provided a bunch more links, so i think that validates the story, and brings into question why CNN isn't picking it up. but they'll do it eventually - sometimes they're slow about things. i've seen things reported on CNN tv, and take hours to make it onto the website.

I see your Dan Rather, and I raise you with an O'Reilly:

Yeah that site isn't biased or anything :ugh:

This is what I came up with when searching Dan Rather :reechy:

Oh well, I'm off to lunch, so I guess I'm gonna be done with this thread.
