Agreed, but i saw some recent ratings thing saying Fox (which has these tea party talking heads on the most) was still the most watched 'news' channel.

Can you imagine deliberately, knowingly, getting your information from a source that leaves out half the info most of the time? I saw through Limbaugh and Michael Moore ages ago and would be very careful about any info I got through either. Sadly there are more and more of these half-truth manufactured outrage merchants in the U.S. than ever, I think at one time such things were against FCC regulations. I suppose this is a case where throwing away regulations (that took years of hard experience to show the need to create) did stimulate the economy (Limbaugh makes around 50 million a year last I heard) but the price to the public I think has been too steep.
