Ok so we have 1 media mogul for conservatives (Fox) and about ten for the left wing. During an interview I had with the editor of Newsweek he explained to me that as much as journalism tries to be subjective, it is impossible. He then gave two people the same facts and let them write their own editorals, they both came up completely different. Its good that Fox is conservative and it is good that some of the others are liberal, it brings you both sides of the arguement and that way you can choose for yourself, given the limited knowledge we are allowed to have. I think people tend to jump on Fox because it is not what is common place because lets face it most of the media is quite liberal, the whole idea behind journalism if a liberal one being that you can say what you want and should be allowed to write as you please. Personally I like this thread there is stuff I agree and disagree with, but the best and most informed debaters are ones who know both sides of the story. I personally would much rather see a good arguement on politics of people who will go out and vote then to have people be apethetic not vote and not care and then complain when things dont go how they want.
