re: My recommendation--don't watch Fox News
Or any other cable or network news outlet, for that matter. It might surprise people to know I have a dim view of Fox News, but they aren't any different than anyone else in screwing up information transmission and slathering the remnants with their own views. Maybe they suck slightly less than some others, but that's not much of a recommendation. I remember them disgracing themselves during Katrina.
It goes without saying that the "opinion programs" are much worse.
With the access to information we have, there's really no need to filter the world through these people first.
Unless you don't own a computer or have no internet access, and have no choice. But then, you wouldn't be here either, would you?
