No, you don't have to be liberal to think that Fox News is biased. That's about as close to fact as one can get. :) I just thought it was funny that it was brought into the discussion when it really hadn't been about politics/left/right/rep/demo/etc. I guess I see where you're coming from with the political slant now, though. Although I tend to think that it is more because of the publicized attacks abroad as of late, but I guess neither of us know for sure.
I wasn't saying you lived in a safe haven, either. Just that it (the incident) was far away from you, so it might be easier to take the more, "its just a series of crazy coincidences" route. I'm not saying that that could be ruled out, but I don't think it is asinine that this situation raised red flags and is being investigated. I'd rather have these things investigated that have another attack take place where we look back and wonder if there was more that could have been done. Of course, I think it's a little overboard to divert flights because "three Pakistani men were moving around in the cabin". This situation is a lot more suspect, IMO. Anyways, it wasn't supposed to be a personal attack. Hope you knew that. I just felt the need to chime in..... Dana wrote: > Do you have to be a liberal to think that Fox News is biased?
