I have been told by various posters on S.I. that they would not listen to either the public TV or Radio for they believe it puts out shaded or untrue information. But they listen to FOX because there everything is FAIR and BALANCED. SIC.

It should not exactly be a surprise to find that what one perceives as balanced and fair, or slanted and biased, whether it be from PBS, Fox, Rush, Moyers, or anywhere else, depends heavily on where one's beliefs lie on the political spectrum.

Good Post.

The extent to which an opinion or a media outlet annoys someone is directly proportional to the extent to which the person subscribes to the opposite viewpoint.

Someone who is a true centrist is least affected emotionally and most likely to separate the truth from the BS
