But it's interesting that you say this: NOW that you are voting for McCain, you don't mind watching Fox, because they are supporting the candidate you support? Catering to ideas that you already hold? And you see the fact that they "lean to the right" as a guarantee of some kind of "balance" in reporting? How is that balanced?

Sorry, I know most liberals would like to have fully Obama state-controlled media, as most of the other networks are, but the large majority of Americans who don't call themselves liberals would like to have at least one other point of view.

A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw man argument" is to describe a position that superficially resembles an opponent's actual view but is easier to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent (for example, deliberately overstating the opponent's position).[1] A straw man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it carries little or no real evidential weight, because the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted.[2]

Personally, I see that Fox news is more inclined to report the news and the facts.

FOX NEWS: Lying to America?

hypocrites!

In 2004, Foley sent five e-mails to a 16-year-old former page from Monroe, Louisiana[16] sponsored by Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-LA). They were the first messages to be made public in the scandal.[17][18] Among other things, Foley asked for a photo of the page, his age and birthday, and what he wanted for a birthday present. Foley observed that another male page (to whom he had also written) was "in really great shape... i am just finished riding my bike on a 25 mile journey..." The page forwarded the e-mails to a colleague in Alexander's office, saying "this really freaked me out," and repeating the word "sick" 13 times in one row to describe the photo request. The page asked "if you can, please tell Rodney [Alexander] about this," and in addition, mentioned a female page who had been warned about a Congressman who "hit on" interns.[19][20][21]

ABC News reported on October 5 that in 2002, Foley e-mailed one page with an invitation to stay at the congressman's home in exchange for oral sex. The page, who was 17 years old at the time, declined the offer. The same report stated that he e-mailed another with a request for a photograph of his erect penis.[14] Another former page reports that he saw sexually explicit e-mails sent to one page from his page class of 2001-2002, and learned of "three or four" pages from that class who received similar e-mails.[22]

Instant messages

After the initial story on the e-mails, other pages contacted ABC and the Washington Post, providing transcripts of sexually explicit instant messaging (IM) conversations from 2003 that Foley had with two pages under the age of 18 at the time.[23][24][2] The Washington Post reported that it had received its copies of these same IMs from a page who had served on Capitol Hill with the two pages who received them.[25]

Another former page, Tyson Vivyan, has said that he received "sexually suggestive" messages from Foley in 1997, a month after he left the page program.[12] A page from the class of 1998 also reported receiving explicit IMs from Foley.[14] A page from the class of 2000 reported that he chatted with Foley during the Congressman's 2000 visit to the page dormitory (see Visits and Meetings below), and that afterwards, he began receiving e-mails and IMs from Foley, which became explicit immediately after his 18th birthday.[26]

this is what passes for political discourse in America? these pundits lie, fabricate, distort, take things out of context, make bad analogies, and pretend to be making fact based comments.
