    Sweet, why can't they show stuff like that on the evening news. I mean, if you could watch a 2-minute segment on all the good stuff that's happening over there, would you turn it off?
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    The answer will get very little play in the "free press", but here it is:

    Shouldn't have anything to do with left or right leanings. It should just be reported.

    Preaching to the choir here. If only it were true...something like half the journalists admitted that ideology influences their stories.

    Their ideology should never be "American Soldiers Suck and don't do anything good" Bastages...

    Nice video, it shows that soldiers are human and capable of kindness, interaction, and joy. All qualities that don't make "good news".

    This is kind of a reflection of the "slippery slope" argument in the football quarterback helmet thread -- once you go a particular direction, there's a tendency to go too far. While I think the most of the press is definitely left leaning, most of the public knows better.

    Yep,

    That's why I don't think things are so bad. Fox still has more viewers than all the other cable networks. And Rather is out 'cause no matter what story he fabricated, he couldn't deliver an audience. I have faith in America to know what's what in the end.

    A real shame isn't it?

    And Brett, common man. With a dozen other news stations that all report the same "Slant" why rag on the ONE station that actually gives a different side to stories??

    Not cool.
