Again perspective. I don't really get how you can have a meaningful and open dialogue/critique, when you yourself seem to painting with a rather broad brush. Also if you are assuming I was offended or put off by the OP, you would be wrong, I am merely addressing a contradiction I thought I saw.
Also to be fair, I fail to see what is so meaningful, or objective about your OP. To see the slant in politics, you needn't channel surf, you can stop at reading your own opinions, you really seem to sit on one side looking out against another.

Mojo, you're first post did prove a point, and your second post nails it home. My op was a simple question regarding perspective; I supplied my own perspective and asked for those of others.
And instead of a nice discussion, I get whatever it is you are trying to say. And the way in which you choose to say it. Which, ironically, is a nearly picture-perfect example of what I was attempting to describe in my op as the way conservative-type news shows speak to/about people with differing political views.
I ask you a question, you react with an accusatory diatribe.
I said Franken wasn't in the same league as Fox
in regards to the size of his viewer base, and you immediately attempt to change the entire context of my sentence, making it sound as if I don't find him to be very liberal. Or as if I blame Fox (I never said Faux) for anything at all. They were the only example I used for what I percieved as 'right,' whereas I used three examples for possible 'left' leaning sources.
Which only distracts from my actual question. Regarding the manner in which these people report what they report.
And I didn't imply that my post was meaningfull or objective; it was a stated perception, and a querry for other perceptions. If it's not up to your standards for intelligent conversation, then simply go somewhere else to type.
