I certainly wouldn't. This may surprise you, but I really don't like Fox News. I think they have just about blown a great opportunity. They claim to be fair and balanced, yet they have very obvious conservative leanings. I think we have to watch and read a lot more that Fox or CNN to get a balanced picture, but any journalistic report will always be somewhat tainted by the opinions of the presenter. However, I was thinking about this after watching "Pardon the Interruption" on ESPN recently. You know how at the end of PTR, they have statboy that comes on and tells them where they blew a fact here or there. If Fox wanted to really be "fair and balanced" they could a have a 30 minute show at the end of each day where a liberal and a conservative fact check the days news and score it for accuracy, balance and fairness. Sort of a self-checking thing, but they don't discuss opinions on any items just the accuracy of the reporting. I'd like to see someone give that a try. ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan! Wear a cup!"
