SkyDekker 1,465 #4 July 24, 2006 Quoteno one's even mentioning Afghanistan any more Ohhhwe are. We are losing fine men there on almost a daily basis, fighting your war. We haven't forgotten who the true culprits of 9/11 were. We haven't forgotten who the true terrorists are. We are fighting them while your men are living out the fantasy of a bloodthirsty president....I feel sorry for them and I feel sorry for those blindly following your president...thinking you are fighting a war on terror....

Major networks - disagree. They don't reformat CNN or FOX news shows for local markets, although the commercials do change. But the bias does change with national demographics and per issue, and it is indeed based on whatever makes them more money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #23 July 25, 2006 agree, we'd had this thread before - it was a big point about the popularity of the FOX bias.
