18. NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Dare we become as braindead and irrational as the Faux people, but only to point in another direction?
NO WAY! Faux is just that. F a u x news. Right wing propoganda. Not news, not information, not honest reporting. Pure unadulterated spin and spew. Copying them and taking the opposite side is just stupid, incredibly stupid and worse.

Aping an idiot, but facing the other way is simply showing your ugly ass to the audience. We cannot afford to do that.


If there was a station that provided real news, without corporate editing or ownership, it would be an automatic success. By real news, I mean the following:
Drop any political spin when reporting a story.
Do it straight. then research it and follow up in detail.
At all costs, ignore Aruba and other ditzy blonde stories. That is not news.
Forget fair and balanced discussions, by debating a simple-minded point with two talking heads. If you need a commentator, get a real expert, one who gets into detail, background and impact. not some party aparachnik who memorized the Beloved Party talking points.
