Just as a follow-up, here's a pertinent Fox News column I just
published:

I'm sure we'll give your opinions, criticism, and feelings all the respect
they're due.

The simple fact that you've established a public pulpit for your opinions
does nothing to make them any more relevant, or even fact-based, than anyone
else's opinions, so please shelve your feelings of intellectual superiority.
Particularly since you chose to align yourself with Fox.

Hey! (Some) Fox columnists have principles too.

On Thu, 12 Feb 2004 04:16:56 -0800 (PST), in a place far, far away,
"Kim Keller" made the phosphor on my monitor
glow in such a way as to indicate that:

I expect no more, or less.

does nothing to make them any more relevant, or even fact-based, than anyone

It has nothing to do with intellect.

Particularly since you chose to align yourself with Fox.


Pointless and baseless ad hominem noted.

LOL The "fair and balanced" news! Aligning oneself with Fox already
portrays a right-wing slant.

Are you implying that a right wing slant is bad?

Do you imagine that all who contribute to Fox News carry a right
wing slant? Would this be true of Mara Liasson and Susan Estridge,
for example?

Yes

No, it's real, easily detectable. The others are deep cover operatives.

It's definitely true for Rand SimBorg, rabid reactionary crackpot.

Fox can't help it that liberals see any middle position as
'conservative,' which I suppose it is compared to the left wing slant
that CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC have been spewing for years. Many
studies have documented this bias on political coverage, especially
with regard to word choice and segment selection. Did you know that
CNN, ABC, and Newsweek ALL had the exact same information for TWO
WEEKS prior to the story Drudge 'broke' on Monica Lewinski? I
certainly didn't see a delay in Bob Packwood, Anita Hill coverage or
this trumped up Bush Nat'l Guard issue.

Nitpick: Dwayne Day was on the Columbia AIB, not Challenger.
