It has been said that achiving objectivity is like try to blow up a ballon to the point that you find your self on the inside of it.

Message 23661875 "So you agree that NPR and BBC present the news with a liberal slant. Good, we've found a point of agreement." Agree? Agree? I said it first, and you responded to me in the post where I said it. Yes Nadine, I agree with myself. You, I think, are crazy- so I think I'll skip agreeing with you, because I'm not sure you know what you are saying, or what I'm saying. This really has been the most bizarre conversation I've ever had with you- talk about circular- I start with a clearly expressed opinion, and then we come full circle and you ask me, finally, if I agree with my own prior expressed opinion. Is English your second language?

Today's liberal slant from the BBC. news.bbc.co.uk Apple's iPhone makes it to stores US troops on Iraq murder charges Canada natives in day of protests Four indicted for JFK 'bomb plot' Court admits Guantanamo cases China anger over US seafood ban Bush seeks Congress trade deal Police accused over Rio killings Love-triangle astronaut denies driving in a nappy Bald eagle soars again ----- " Bald eagle soars again " not very objective. It's not that the bald eagle is soaring; they've always "soared". It's that their population has increased and their off the endangered list. You can send in a letter to the editor and nail them on it. jttmab

I don't often go to Foxnews for their fair and balanced reporting. Unfortunately, today was one of those days. It must be conservative....This is from their front page headlines. I didn't see it on the front page of NPR or BBC. LEBANON, Tenn. — A porn actress who claimed she performed oral sex on a state trooper who stopped her for speeding lost her chance to avoid the ticket he issued because she failed to appear in court Friday. Justis Richert, 21, of Knoxville, must pay the $159 ticket within two weeks, but she could have avoided it altogether because the trooper has resigned and wasn't in court, officials said. Traffic charges were dropped against the 16 motorists who did appear in court for tickets issued by Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper James Randy Moss. "Had she been here, the ticket would have been dismissed," General Sessions Court Clerk Linda Neal said. Under her porn film name "Barbie Cummings," Richert wrote on her blog that Moss took photos and video of their encounter in May and sent copies to her. She said she acknowledged having drugs she described as "happy pills," but claimed the trooper threw them into brush near the highway. She also wrote that she told the trooper she made "dirty movies" and they then watched sex videos together in his patrol car. .... foxnews.com
