In my opinion, cable TV news in general (the U.S. channels) is a vast wasteland and generally useless if one seeks to be informed on any particular issue

So I take it you only believe in the main Liberal stations to tell you the truth. LMAO

legridder155,
I believe you have it all wrong. Matclone gets his news from trusted sources - NBC, ABC, and a handful of wonderful tabloids in the grocery store check-out line.

You drew this conclusion from what?

No O'Reilly doesn't generally get upset. His usual technique is to frequently interrupt or shout down his guests. There's a film out about Fox (a different issue) that shows him browbeating a 19 year old kid whose father (I believe) was killed in Iraq so he was now protesting the war. This is appealing to the Archie Bunkers (ctc) of the world.

And just who does Moyers appeal to?

Face it. We all tend to appreciate those who advocate positions we agree with. O'Reilly is no more polemic than Moyers who characterizes Hannity's words as "political pornography" (All of which begs the question... Does he think that Hannity's political speech should be censored? And it also presents the diacotomy of liberalism and conservatism at their fringes. At the conservative end they want to protect political speech and ban porn and at the liberal end they want to ban political speech and protect porn.)

Comparing O'Reilly to Moyers?

Wow, you really need to go back and flirt with dreamy. She's more your speed.

BTW, what's a diacotomy?

The Dixie Chicks? I would like to hear this one. Is it because their record sales went down and their concerts had to be canceled. They had every right to say what they did and we have every right not to buy their music.

I would like to hear more of your examples. This will be funny!!
