why is it her crap frap from liberal sources are "news stories" but every time you see anything from Newsmax or Fox News it's "op ed"?

Well, I generally consider the NY Times and Washington Post pretty good sources and well written. [I might add that Neocon has claimed that the Washington Post is THE finest paper in the country.].

Do you know the difference between editorials, op-eds, letters to the editor, and new stories?

Fox news has "news" and they have....get this...."op-ed" pieces. What I've said about Fox, is that they are, IMO, targetting at the World Professional Wrestling audience, and the quality of their programming and news reflects that. Within that genre...Dick Morris fits in very nicely. But Dick Morris writes op-ed pieces, not news items. [Hint: at the bottom of the credits, it indicates Dick Morris is a "political analyst"...that's a subtle hint titular brain.]

Newsmax....I wouldn't give them a complement by calling their stories op-ed pieces. For those persons with something greater than a titular brain, unlike those conservatives inhabiting this thread, it doesn't take a long time to figure out that the stories are largely fabrications and distortion. But those folks with titular brains, that do real work preventing the starvation of mankind, are not quite able to discern this.
