Oh, I'm conservative, but even I can see the slant Fox gives things, which is okay because I will mostly agree with them. Doesn't mean I don't see the slant. I will typically go back and forth between Fox and CNN when events like this happen, hoping I find the truth somewhere in there.

U understand where you are coming from and understood you were conservative. But here was my point that I probably didn't relay very well ( and sure didn't spell well, had to fix a lot )

Our starting point in news from our youth was always WAY LEFT LEANING, so from that perspective we assume they are right leaning, but are they right leaning, or just right of the crazy lefties? Catch my drift?

No disrespect, buddy...but the very idea that "slant" is a bad thing...is ludicrous. As though in Hamas v Israel, Hamas/Islamists should be given a fair shake.

Or that a rogue individual - caught on tape committing a felony mere minutes from when he resisted LE and was shot - is somehow deserving of a 'non-slanted' reportage.

I could go 'deep', and posit the philosophical idea that the choice to serve Self (Evil, Devil, Polar Opposite, et al) as an Absolute Value...is *equal* to that of subservience/acquiescence to the Whole/God/Singularity/Allah, et al. And an individual's choice and sovereignty would be equal. But the consequences of the *equal* choices therein damn sure wouldn't be equal.

CNN is in the tank for Authoritarian Statism. And ironically...so am I. Just that we differ on the Power at the core of Authority. I'm down for Jesus...they go with Man.
