Reply #13: I learned something important when Elian was seized [View All]

[bunkerbuster1]

For the record I felt strongly that Elian needed to be back in Cuba with his dad, and that his rather distant relatives in FL were milking him for publicity.

But what I learned the morning that news broke, was just how horrible Fox News was as a resource.

It was my first exposure to it. Fox News had been added recently to our cable line-up, and I thought I'd give it a chance.

"My. god." I thought. I'd never seen anything like it. I'd really expected to turn on the news and learn something about this story. I DIDN'T think I'd hear a half dozen talking heads literally expressing the exact same outrage over the seizure, without a dissenting soul in sight.

It was shocking, then. Now, it's what I expect.
