Believe it or not!

People, people, people! How in the name of St. Swithin can you pay attention to what’s going on and still believe the reporting on Fox News? Murdoch’s minions might be “unafraid,” but there’s nothing fair or balance or, for that matter, accurate in their reporting. This business is tantamount to a state-run propaganda machine.

MSNBC, in its lust for ratings, is running a close second in this game of “news from nowhere” and “creating reality.”

CNN aired an excellent program last night, hosted by Campbell Brown, on dirty political ads.

In this new year, never has it been more important to keep yourself abreast of the news – real news.
