Jokul, you are a very sweet, forgiving man and you should be--and are--well-loved for that quality.
But, let's face it. If a news 'source' has a choice between spreading fear to the masses (which sells advertising space) and actually reporting the news that may not sell advertising space, what will that 'news' source do--until, of course, it's called on it? Publicly supported or subscriber supported cable should be able to find objective, or at least reasonable, analysts on both sides of the fence. There ARE some reasonable, non-ideologue liberals, and there are a few conservative analysts who also manage this difficult feat, but when you get to the fringe left and the neocons, you only find screamers. PBS has Moyers, but nobody with a contrasting point of view. But now that I think about it, reasonable news would probably not be watched by many people. The point of my OP was also to enquire as to whether or not Fox is just going along with the by now familiar administration program of raising the terror alert bar in time of crisis. We're all aware that the color coded alerts were fake, now the administration needs something new to keep us scared. "A Scared America votes Republican" Is Fox News on board with that? Some on here will argue when I "theorize" Cheney has much influence, in Washington and on those making presentations on Fox News. Cheney doesn't have to come out and say, Let's ATTACK IRAN...all he has to do , is hope little "nuggets" of information like this are fed to the American people, albeit false information like this news piece.

Not at all, Mr. Spin. I suggested that the racist element in America tends to be right wing. One needs only to reflect upon the recent Democratic Primary race to see just how incredibly mind boggling, how astoundingly ignorant THAT statement is. I gave some facts and stated an opinion. You do the same, please. "That's an ignorant statement" is not an argument, else you'd have been defeated long ago. Come up with something. Awwwww. A little too subtle for you? OK. Let me rephrase: One needs only to reflect upon the recent Democratic Primary race to see just how incredibly mind boggling, how astoundingly ignorant THAT statement is, considering the amount of racist (and I might add, "sexist") pandering AND race/gender-based insults that were tossed around by the political liberals who are the first to accuse conservatives of being racist and sexist. It points out, once again, how if one wants to know what liberals are guilty of doing, one needs only listen to their accusations.
