Originally posted by mochironChristian Science Monitor has always been a good news source. I have sorely missed Monitor radio since they decided to get out of the world band shortwave news service.
well said.

Originally posted by mochironI don't think so. As I recall Monitor radio announced at the time, and it was also printed in their newspaper and several shortwave magazines, that they no longer felt that enough people were listening to shortwave to justify the expense of their worldband news service. However, now that you mention it, I will check their website and see if anything new has happened since that time to change things. I always felt that their world coverage was as good as BBC and perhaps a bit more attuned to the American ear.
that is too bad. maybe you can find them on web radio. i listen to shortwave as well sometimes.

The phrase "no spin zone" used by O'Rielly is total BS .. and that coming from me, someone who would probably be labeled a conservative by most here.
!st .. it isn't a News show" .. it's opinion and entertainment, so to say he or anyone can give an opinion about politics or World affairs without some bias is false.
Don't have enough info to make a judgement on European press/media coverage .. so I won't.
Here in America the media is split .. the conservatives own talk radio and the liberals have a hard time at it. The liberals dominate the TV coverage .. FOX is the only alternative.
None of them are "fair and balanced" .. and they all spin, but it seems to me that mainstream TV (not cable) is the main source for Americans when it comes to getting there daily news reports .. and that source is without question obcessed with Bush-hate and will say/do just about anything to "get" him.
The Left is in deep trouble in America.
They don't have an alternative plan for America. They've been shown (proudly) to be the Party of PC-thought to the extreem. They have lost there total monopoly of the media .. next the disgrace of our education system will be open to view and will be shown to be monopolized by the Left.
The American people are pretty much done with the Democrat Party until them move somewhere near the center.

Eventually it will be a quality-of-life issue, and the undereducated poor will rise up and storm the gated communities.

You may have just lain out the Demo platform for the coming election.

I would discribe it as top-heavy and bloated and deserving of being abandoned.
prob shouldn't hi-jack this thread into an Am Ed debate, but if you start a thread i'll contribute.

Originally posted by jammerIt's funny how FOX news blows away CNN, ABC, CBS, and all the other media in all the polls. Care to explain that? They must be appealing to "some" people...maybe a few tens-of-million viewers? Even thousands of Canucks are tuning in to FOX news, not to mention Euros and Aussies....must be that "fair and balanced " approach.

Fox News is great viewing - as entertainment it's wonderful stuff, but it would attract much less criticism if it stopped pretending that putting one weak or extreme liberal on a panel with a more articulate Republican or clerico-fascist is honest television, when we all know perfectly well that it's about as balanced as Chesty Morgan. Like there are any journalists on there anyway.
