There is a strong argument that no source of information is unbiased. This gets into philosophical discussions of the subjective and our relationship to objects … so I’ll leave it at that.

That said, bias isn’t a problem when the bias is noted as such. But when you present your “news” as “fair and balanced,” when copious information has been revealed about suppressed news stories which favor corporate and elite interests to the detriment of the public, I would take issue with that. Fox News reached my radar for unfairly firing reporters who unearthed the dangers of our farming methods–namely inhumane and dangerous practices of pumping cows with growth hormones.

By Bill Deiz in Portland, Oregon, a former print and broadcast journalist; now communications director of a statewide non-profit. I was chatting with a soccer dad the other day as we stood on the sidelines and watched our kids play.

But, you know, i’m 35 and of the last generation who didn’t have to pay to watch TV. paying for cable is like paying the trash guys to dump the trucks in your living room anyway.

Can you say, hypocricy?

And Mia, we are a capitalistic society. Ending Faux, oh sorry, I meant Fox News is exactly the way to enact change. If you don’t like it, don’t participate.

Others that so need Fox that they can’t cope without it will have to learn what it felt like to be a Gore supporter in 2000, or a Kerry supporter on November 2, 2004. At least this is an honest boycott. You can’t always get what you want, and in a society driven by $$ and a “majority rules” mentality, that’s just the way it is I guess.

Ugh, the whole “well, no one’s forcing you” argument is not only flimsy, but as I see it basically another way of telling people to quit their complaining. It’s a line that kills any sort of dialogue or investigation.
