The difference between FOX and NPR

FOX: "Find out why UFOs are causing problems for the space shuttle!"

NPR: "Astronauts are invesatgating if a mystery object caused some damage to the heat shield, the first inspections showed no damage, but they will use a second test just to be safe."

during college ladd and i were watching fox news and a lady said, "they say that snow is just water."

i heard that fox is owned by cnn, or vice versa. don't know if it's true.

False, as far as I know. FOX is owned by Rupert Murdoch, whereas CNN is owned by Ted Turner. And since Turner compared FOX News to Hitler and his propaganda system, I think it's unlikely there's some hidden connection in there somewhere I don't know about.

Only Turner could mistake FOX News' general incompetence and vague bias for a plot to rule the world. No one questions CNN and their occasional incompetence and vague bias as anything more as a cornerstone of mildly-liberal-skewed-but-still-generally-trustworthy news.

Oh, Wyman, I question CNN, doubt that their compenence is more than occasional (ok, so that was nothing more than a jab) and see their bias as glaring rather than vague. That's the truth as I see it. But they do talk about facts in all of that. You might say there are raisins in the pudding. But all the cable news is noise, so I really don't care, except that I do, because people watch it and suck it up like it's true. Oh, and I'm fair and balanced -- Fox is noisy, too.
