...or they're CBS.

Here's another difference.  At FOX it was an intern that posted the placekeeping story instead of the real one on the website.  I don't know what happened to the intern.  At CBS, they ran a bogus story, tried to stick to it for a week before finally deciding that it wasn't "entirely true", and the network tried to fire 5 people.  One left, the other 4 got lawyers and are fighting to keep their jobs.  The anchor that read the story and stood behind it was able to stay in the anchor chair for months afterwards.  The web story was seen by thousands of people, but pulled immediately after it was discovered to be wrong.  The broadcast story was seen by millions and it took a week to discover that it wasn't "entirely true".

James, I think just one person called it "Faux".  I understand the frustration, but isn't calling everyone out for the actions of one a little much?

Todd, show me the "far reaching agenda" this so-called mainstream "liberal media" has.  I need some facts here, not opinion, before you state that almost the whole of media is liberal and they have a "far reaching agenda" that exceeds the reporting of news.  I understand slant and bias, and won't argue that all news outlets have some sort of editorial slant, but to say that most mainstream news organizations have some sort of huge agenda is gonna need some nonpartisan, unbiased facts to back up that claim.  I've called others on that here, both Rep and Dem, so I'm sorry I can't just let that comment pass.

Todd, let's say that's true - let's say that the news media other than FOX aren't just whores for the corporate lobby...let's say they are this liberal propaganda center... if that's so, why aren't more Americans liberal?  Why don't they have more influence in America?  Because America is so smart that they reject the liberal ideals supported by these outlets?  Then why do they still watch them?  Why don't the numbers match up?

I really don't get the sore winner mentality that conservatives have.  You won - why are you guys so defensive?  Afriad of something?  Guilty about something?

I loved that movie.  Keaton really showed his reach as an actor in that one.
