Anyone getting nervous about this new Swine Flu vaccine and skipping much testing?

Follow the ratings which is mostly the same as follow the money, but the primary reason these "news" shows spend so much time on such things. It has become more about their ratings than providing the true news they are supposed to be providing.

To answer you're childish question...most people are sick of the same old lies, non reporting and partial truths. Fox proves over and over again that it tells the truth and people who want the truth, good or bad, flock to it. That's why it's far and away bigger and better than all of the Democrat news outlets.

Faux Snooze is just as bad but from the right perspective... But of course you would never admit that...

You're right, thanks for your feedback, that's also one of my pet peeves.

Sorry. It is what they ALL do more and more compared to decades ago. No one news org is responsible and just look at the complete lack of coverage about the ACORN scandal by the "other" news orgs to see that they are becoming political orgs instead of news orgs, along with ALL OF THEM sensationalizing certain news for the ratings.

Well the problem is Fox news isnt known for their news, which may or may not be unbiased.
"Fox argues that its news hours — 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. on weekdays — are objective."

So that means hannity, beck, oreilly, vansustren etc.. in Fox's own words, is opinion programming. Misleading doctored photos is certainly proof of that.

Heres the Daily Show calling them out. Funny how a fake news program is showing more truth than a supposedly real one..

True one station covered it 24/7, ad nauseum, while ignoring other issues facing society while the other stations barely mentioned it. Both sides were just as bad IMHO. But thats what you get today...
