Default Re: Turned off my TV, what a difference.

Yeah, Operator, I do strive for "balance". It has produced some interesting results.

Example 1:
During the 2000 Presidential campaign, I checked in on NPR. The "reporter" kept referring to the two sides in the election as:
"The Bush Campaign" and
"Our Side".

Example 2:
During a lull between stories, on FAUX Gnus, "Barbie & Ken" were sitting at their desk, engaging in the usual "light banter" used to fill the odd moments.

It was one of those exchanges that usually begins with something like, "Say Barbie, have you noticed lately that..." after which there is a, "Well, here is what I think..." response.

T'was then that I had one of those "Holy @&^#!!" moments. Their eyes are going back and forth, back and forth. They are reading this! FAUX/Murdoch even has their conversations between themselves, "what they think", scripted!

So, regardless what your political convictions are, if you think there is some "Crusader for Truth" out there, bursting at the seams to "tell it like it is"... Fugetaboutit!
