Why are they just getting released now, when we've taken a huge PR hit around the world on our shaky intelligence, and when the President admitted just a few months ago that the evidence for WMDs was wrong?

Can someone point me somewhere besides a conservative oriented talk show or newsletter that talks about this?

Well this is exactly the proof of my post when people can't "cope" with the possibility of being wrong. Some day I will see one of the people that Bill listed last night apologize for lying about George lying. Someday someone here too will say "I was wrong" Some day H E double hockey sticks will freeze over too

The "fair and balanced" tagline is just that -- a tagline meant to grab the unsuspecting audience of viewers who aren't familiar with the NewsCorp way of doing business, or the views of Mr. Murdoch.

Originally Posted By cape cod joe Actually Mrich--I'm so open minded that I WILL be watching Bill very closely on this because if he's wrong on this, it will get ugly real fast! I give him credit for going on the record last night as it is a HUGE risk on his part for calling so many people on the carpet. MRICH-crazy thought but maybe catch FOX news sometimes and see how they even go against Murdoch> it is amazingly impartial as they present both sides and then some.
Originally Posted By mrichmondj Thanks, but i'll stick with the Wall Street Journal -- which, by the way, has one of the most conservative editorial pages in the country. Yet, even WSJ characterizes Fox News as biased when they run articles about the TV network's business strategy. Go figure. In fact, that's probably where I read the articles about Rupert Murdock's media biases eons ago. In general, I don't watch TV news. It's so much easier to download the daily news feeds to your PDA and read all the newspapers on the go.

Originally Posted By cape cod joe Mrich--I guess you not watching tv news, Fox in particular, cost you on this most important issue. I don't have time for the journal. I wish I did. Mele--Which thing? I'm wrong all the time. On George lying? O'Reilly said what he did.
Originally Posted By cape cod joe Mele--I just reread post and Mrich is wrong that Fox is slanted. I've been watching it for years as I have been watching all stations for years. HE is WRONG and anyone who says fox is slanted is wrong. It is interesting to me mele, that people who have never watched it say it's slanted. You are entitled to your opinion and it is a free country.
