What a Surprise!! Al Jazeera "Outed".........

SO- What’s the "best" place to get the most inciteful (thanks Andy) News of the Day, Hour or last Second: Al-Jazerra, Fox, BBC, Local Astrology Channel, or Psychic News Service maybe. I'm lost here. My clairvoyance is in disarray. Should I just stick with print media for insightful news and commentary, like National Review [img]/forums/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img] or World Press Review? [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] or Mad Magazine? [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Inquiring minds want to know. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Fox News reached a new nadir when it reported on the anniversary of the death of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands when the anchor moralized, "The moral of the story? Eat more." Even Sat. Night Live Weekend Update had more validity. Wonder if they'll keep trotting out Bill Bennett at every opportunity.

Take off on Lord Byron:

Bill Bennett made his living explaining
Morals to the Nation.
I wish he would
Explain his explanation.

It has at least as much relevance as does Fox News, which yesterday promoed the Democrats' budgetary plans while playing the song "The Candy Man." Fair and unbiased, huh?

No, not if you use music as your basis for extracting information.

They have an entertainment aspect, especially on the morning show, and they have some conservative analysts. They also report hard news, have liberal personalities, e.g. Alan Colmes, and have liberal guests. BTW, it is not biased to report that certain ideas are flaky if in fact they really ARE flaky. To do otherwise would be biased or simply incorrect.

To say it has as little relevance as Al Jazeera shows your bias, and seriously damages your credibility. FOX was named the best station for war coverage by at least one major city newspaper.

"They also report hard news"

Well the bits I saw with Col. North as an embedded reporter and the anchor musing that it was ok that people were being lynched cos they were looters was in a "hard news" section.

Which paper voted Fox best war coverage? It wouldn't happen to be owned by Rupert Murdoch (who also owns Fox)?

So, which is it: a> you are not using calm reasoned logic or b> fox News is not news?
