Clink on link and vote in the NPR Poll.

Fox was trailing but has taken a commanding lead.

GO FOX and thank you for being the only real "NEWS" agency to get the job done and get the truth out!

...and it's NPR taking the poll.

BTW, one great thing about you posting links is that when the popup for the video or the story comes up, it's right next to your avatar. Tuff to watch or read the link at times.

The true NPR types vote neither - 2% of vote

First off, your link is broken. Second, IF MMTV is where you get your news, well, that explains a LOT.

In fact if you really want to know the truth, call this number: 401-285-0701

Here is the correct link.

It's a Jon Stewart commentary on what exactly is newsy about Fox. He does manage to make a couple of valid points, especially about the definition of news vs editorial content as described by Fox. There are a lot of folks on both sides who just don't get the distinction.

And Bill, Media Matters is almost as bad a WND. And stay away from "What really happened" as well - they are even worse than WND.

IF the rest of the media would question the Government with a jaundiced eye, AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, instead of being the cheerleader squad, Fox would be much more middle of the road. Fox doesn't have to lean very far right to look unfair and unbalanced when the rest of the media leans so far left the're laying down.

The media is supposed to be the early warning system against irresponsible Government.

Steve,
Thanks, I don't use media matters as source for truth in media, it was the only one I could get that clip from the Daily Show, I can't access comedy central from a government computer, and I have dial up at home, so it takes way too long.
I agree with others on here, that the media should be looking into government more closely, or for that matter out of control corporations,
but it will never happen, we no longer have any journalist in the media, it’s all infotainment. Some though, such as Fox are solely owned subsidiaries of the republican party, Yes MSNBC is political, but they don't lie about it, there motto is the place for politics, they don't try to deceive anyone as to what they are about, fox new on the other hand is a total fraud! fair and balanced my arse...

you put Media Matters up as a valid source of information? That explains everything...

Why did you tell him?

I watch all the cable TV stations news, plus the main stream channels and read everything I can find regarding current situations and views.
It's great that a least a couple of news agencies seem to report the truth. It's strange to me that so many folks are just happy to follow and accept whatever our government puts out there. Questioning all information is a good thing.
I realize that most people want to be happy, fair and giving, but infortunately the world is and has always been a dangerous place. People want to take your life away for one reason or another..so you got to be willing to stand up for what is right and be ready to fight for it.
It appears that too many Americans want to take the easy way out and bury their heads in the sand...sort of like the libs. in Washington.

Well, that was an intelligent response---can we talk cars again, geeze!
