This morning I emailed a Salon article about Fox News and "Outfoxed" to my winger step-brother. Here's the email I got in return:
"Never mind the Fact that CBS and all its subsidiaries, NBC and all it's subsidiaries, along with ABC, and of course CNN all subscribe and pursue a far left wing Liberal agenda. Heaven forbid the Republicans (right wing people) in this country have the freedom to get information as viewed from their side. The Liberals are worried too many Conservatives will actually see what good the U.S. and its allies are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan - not always hearing about the atrocities and deaths and how we can do no right.
At least FOX news focuses a little on the good being done in those countries.
So I don't want to hear about 1 network being Right wing or for that matter right ring distorting information - it is hardly a fair and balanced media system in this country when more than 3/4 of the visual media outlets cater to the Left wing. You cannot turn on commercial Television and not see a Liberal run network - all the free stations are; CBS, NBC, ABC, and the WB. So Boo Hoo, the Conservatives have 1 media outlet owned by 1 man that is on CABLE pitching their agenda - I'm scared."
He and my older brother spew the same type of stuff. For the most part I don't have political discussions with them, in order to preserve family harmony. Still, I'm amazed that sentient beings can compare the objectivity of ABC or NBC to Fox.
