Morons.

I am guessing if they are willing to say "Fair and balanced!" and "We report, you decide!" with a straight face, then they could get used to saying "homicide bombers".

I've basically quit watching cable news after being a junky for many years. Maybe I will resume in the election year. I've never been a huge fan of Fox just because there is too much said there that I agree with (or did).

I would much rather watch Chris Matthews or someone else whose thoughts and guests are much more challenging and opposed to my thought process.

ATM, I just read the news paper and watch a few of the Sunday morning shows, now that church is at 1:00 pm.

Okay so wait... I'm guessing they choose to say "homicide bombers" because it focuses on the fact that these men are killing others, instead of focusing on how they are killing themselves.

That's really cheesy and annoying?

But that same graph said I'm one of the most moderate people here, so we know it's very inaccurate.



Not really, but if you already hate Fox News, you're much more likely to think so.

i am liberal, for sure but i bet i've voted for more republicans than you have democrats.

i'd think it would a stupid policy for any news outlet.

boy i hope police can solve all the homicide murders this year and i hope we see a reduction in fatal deadly car crash accidents

It's very endearing.

I'm curious though Tex, do you ever have moments here where you say "hmmm, thats a good point, hadn't thought of that." That is the reason I like "liberal" media better, why I so much enjoyed my ultra-liberal law school. Not because either of those things made me a liberal, but because they made me think about things that hadn't occurred to me. The inevitable result, for me, has been that my views have been moderated (though I am still a conservative).

Ever have moments like that here?
