I honestly think Fox only seems that way when compared to CNN (Clinton News Network ). When they have their shows, they always invite people to represent both sides of the argument (sometimes one side will refuse to come on). I don't know of a single person on Fox who is a Republican, except maybe Sean Hannity, but his show is about Republican vs. Democrat debates and he has a Democratic cohost. Even Bill O'Reilly is an Independent and has some liberal leanings (i.e. stable gay couples should be allowed to adopt, marijuana should be legalized).

[font="Courier"]FOX News is Republican? I don't think so because I know they do have plenty "on the Right" employed, both Republicans and Libertarians, and also those on "the other side"... they have Liberals too, like Alan Colmes - so they are known for maintaining an even field of journalists.
Now, respectful of Christianity and the U.S., absolutely.
I remember one news story just before CNN's ratings dropped like a rock... I think it was the last straw for much of the CNN viewing public, and some of the CNN employees as well:[/font]

According to an article on the Catholic League's website CNN founder Ted Turner stunned CNN employees in Washington when he made an anti-Christian remark on Ash Wednesday. Seeing ashes on the forehead of some workers, Turner said, “What are you? A bunch of Jesus freaks? You ought to be working for Fox.” [url="http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=12781"]http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=12781[/url]

Catholic League president William Donohue issued the following statement…:
“Ted Turner is a recidivist. Like all repeat offenders, Turner evinces an animus against a particular portion of the population. For him, it is Christians whom he despises. That is why he is on record for a) branding Christianity a religion ‘for losers’ b) labeling pro-life Christians as ‘Bozos’ c) insulting the pope with one of his cheap jokes at a pro-abortion meeting and d) blasting Christianity for being ‘very intolerant.’ Now he’s back, this time slamming those who wear ashes on Ash Wednesday.
“On February 17, 1999, the Corporate Affairs department of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., sent me a copy of Ted Turner’s one sentence apology for mocking the pope. The next day I issued a news release saying that ‘Mr. Turner’s apology is accepted and thus it brings closure to this incident.’ But this time Turner can save himself the effort: any apology he might offer will immediately be rejected for its insincerity. [url="http://www.dailycatholic.org/issue/2001Mar/mar8nu1.htm"]http://www.dailycatholic.org/issue/2001Mar/mar8nu1.htm[/url]

And now we learn that Mr. Turner’s cruel and insensitive remarks have spurred CNN newsman Stuart Varney, who has been with the network for more than two decades, to resign. Mr. Varney, who co-anchors CNN’s "Moneyline News Hour," "resigned in a huff" after learning of Mr. Turner’s outrageous remarks, the "New York Daily News" reported. The 51-year-old Varney, a devout Christian, had also reportedly complained that CNN had slanted its political coverage toward Democratic party positions.
Mr. Varney’s action is the ultimate act of courage, in my opinion. When a man will make such a colossal sacrifice in order to take a stand for his beliefs, he earns the respect of millions of people of faith. (Who knows? Maybe Mr. Varney will find an even greater role to play at FOX News.)

[Aloysius]

:Athanasia for life!:

[Thy Geekdom Come]

LOL Al, we should steal it. We can give half of it back to the poor farmers he practically stole it from and then we can support ourselfves with the other half.

If Turner had spoken reprovingly against Blacks or gays, you know the media would have been all over him like white on rice. It only goes to show that anti-Catholicism is the only acceptable prejudice nowadays.

God bless,

[quote name='musturde' date='Jun 13 2004, 10:49 PM'] I wouldnt trust anything unless it's completely affirmed, cuz there's different talk about this (and there has been since the war). Presidential elections are coming up and people think Bush came to Iraq and lied to America, maybe some Republicans are trying to get some people happy. (I'm no anti Republican. In fact I like the Republican party.) [/quote]
This article was a report from the UN. This is outside the US government, and if anything, the UN would be more slanted towards Kerry because if elected, he would become their lapdog. You can bet that if the UN says this, they are not making it up in order to help Bush.

[quote name='Iacobus' date='Jun 13 2004, 11:06 AM'] And Putman, the Tet offense pulled the American heart out of the war. After that, seeing war and death invade the living rooms, people stopped supporting the war. Did the media bring it in yes. Did ABC attack the marines? [/quote]
Despite what the media at the time reported, the Tet Offensive was militarily an overwhelming victory for the US, but because of the reporting done by the media, it became a political victory for the Vietnamese. This is an example about how the media contributed to us losing the war.

And Vietnam WAS winnable, militarily. It was the micromanaging done by the politicians that tied the hands of the military that was the problem. We sat there for months on end watching them build up the air defenses around Hanoi. But the politicians would not give an ok to go in, since it was not politically expedient. But once all the military air defences were completely set up, the ok was given and we lost many aircraft and pilots because of it. This is just one of many examples on why it was the politicians that made us lose the war.
