[kj] OT: Obama and Fox

[Concrete Cookie]

I don't think we actually have "NEWS" in this country, or journalists ... It's all turned into ratings and entertainment.  It's a sad day when the most respectable journalist is John Stewart or Colbert (and don't get me wrong, they're great!)

What now passes for "news"  more like political opinion/propaganda, there's no actual coverage of facts... Has anyone in the "news" media read the health care bills or reported anything on them?  

......bread and circuses
