If FOX news is not to be trusted..how much more so ABC, NBC & CNN?

That is pretty much my way too. My dad told me, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. As I grew up I figured out what he meant....know what your enemies are up to. I DON'T let what I hear and see around me be the ONLY thing I base my thoughts and opinions on.

Well this discussion always brings me back too this .... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2117981.aspx one of JFK's imfamous speech!

I'd much rather have BOTH sides. I feel I am intelligent enough to discern what is truth and what is a lie. Let's put that another way...maybe intelligence is not so necessary. If you make yourself aware of what is truth...the deeper issues of what is right and wrong...values, morals, ethics...when a lie is in front of you it cannot be mistaken for the truth. WE NEED to get back to what made this country GREAT...the values of our founding fathers. Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters. Ben Franklin Bank employees are trained to detect counterfit money by handling ONLY real money. And then when a counterfit bill is in their hand...it's immediately recognized as a counterfit.

I'd love to have some links to news sources from the UK and Canada. Recommend any?

Being Canadian, and don't boo me yet, I tend to look at what the rest of the world is talking about, have a look at UK news and Asian news, even our Canadian news...it will broaden perspectives. The problem with protectionism is that your box sometimes can get small and sooner or later one will realize that there is a huge universe out there!

I agree, but I have experienced the 'oh, you read that on the internet?As if that makes it suspect. People want to be spoonfed...they don't want to have to think about what they're reading..and most times, they already have their minds made up. I can't count all the times I've read something, checked another source...and changed my mind about things. But you know what is said....us conservatives are closed minded.

I try to stay balanced. I do watch the others..but wind up mad as a hornet.

I love the Spin Zone...though I hate O'reilly sometimes he tends to be rude... but i find him funny though...I got addcited to the channel when they were doing the coverage on Casey Anthony... and when ampaign started I was just getting updates on it. when I switch to other channels, all I see is obama,obam, obama, that is why I got the impression other networks didnt play it fair.

You noticed that too?

Yes, I've done some research on that. Seems a certain Arab in Saudi Arabia has a large stake in CNN. I have the link posted in another discussion here on myLot. I haven't had time to research more...wanna help?

Here's the link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1465942/posts

Let's just put it this way, the elites that sell you insurance, that hold your money, that control the oil distribution, that tell you what logos you should where. We can start with them without using family names.
