Rigsy, you bring up an important point, and that is; the reporters and commentators will be what ever they are paid most to be. Case in point relevant to this thread: From: comadrejo <[email protected]> In article <[email protected]>, Twitchell <[email protected]> wrote: > http://gawker.com/5216313/fox+bashing-cnn-reporter-applied-for-a-job-... > CNN's Susan Roesgen went nuts on the air Wednesday at a Chicago tea party, > blaming everything (accurately) on Fox News.

Paula Zahn was especially vilified by Roger Ailes. They covered the tea/tax tantrum like it was a ballot measure gaining popular support. I guess they had to try to take down Susan Roesgen because she interviewed two complete yahoos, and her judgment of Fox News. I think one reason journalists wanted to work for Fox News, it appears they paid better. I know that is how Fox Business Channel got many reporter to switch from CNBC to Fox Business. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
