Damn. Read Fox news much? Good thing Fox has never been accused of being biased or anything.

Dude seriously. Every news media outlet out there is biased because no one reports the news anymore. CNN, FOX, NBC...

Damn. Actually read the articles? 2 of the 3 are from the AP wire...

Good thing that people that make snap decisions based on no information are never accused of being ignorant...

All news is biased. However, I highly doubt that Fox is putting out fake or biased news reports because they want us to go to war.

Just in case you need proof:

The really sad part is, 30 years from now our kids will look at us and wonder WTF were we thinking.

What is even more sad than that will be when they look back 30 years from now and say "$3.27 Trillion for stimulus handouts when the entire annual federal budget is only $2.6 Trillion." WTFF - what the fucking FUCK - were you idiots thinking?????

Too bad there weren't any news media outlets named in your post. Just entertainment cable stations sensationalizing events in the hopes of higher ratings. No different from MTV, TNT, Oxygen, or any of those networks that have those dopey reality shows.

That was my point. I try and get my information (not "news") mostly from reading. And I try to get a diversified mixture of sources - liberal, conservative, plenty of international news outlets, and of course lots of books. I usually skim the headlines online (yes, I know some of these outlets are owned by the above mentioned big media conglomerates) of the NY Times, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, BBC, Bloomberg, and of course the best source of diversified, highly-accurate news - the baseops.net message board!

That was the basis of my joke (ha ha). One watches Fox News, reads foxnews.com, and then reads articles on baseops.net about stuff that Fox News reported on TV or on their website. We just have to be careful about the sources of the stuff that we are fed...I mean the news that we get.

Yeah, I thought about adding something to this effect in my original post:

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years."

- Attributed to Sir Alex Fraser Tytler (about 220 years ago)

..but you said it just as well.
