It's pretty safe to say that anyone who prefers not to watch Fox News is displaying at least a little intelligence. It is, simply put, as bad as news can possibly get in a democracy. It is not about balance (as it claims)- it's a skewed version of events packaged for rapid consumption by stupid people. Of _course_ millions will watch it. -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "[Do you think the world learned anything from the first world war?] No. They never learn." -Harry Patch (1898-2009)
