I still think it is hilarious though that the 'average American' that is outraged by Assange is calling for him to be tried for 'treason', uh HELLO he has to be an American first . Of course, thats what you get when you watch too much fox

I watch Fox, as well as CNN, and ABC. I also get a kick out of the wrongfully used word "atrocity". Some people think that an atrocity has occurred when mayo is put on their sandwich by mistake.

Tried to watch fox again just to give them 'another chance' , sorry but for a moment I could almost feel my brain cells and IQ begin to drop. Fox is like the Jerry Springer of news, CNN is just worthless too, CNNI (CNN International, is.. o.k I guess), but the mainstream media in the US is just garbage, thats why I am actually thankful I get BBC-World on my cable system, I have multiple sources online, (though yes BBC is my primary source).

It may not be, but if you ever see the mainstream news media here in the states it makes the BBC look like it still has some kind of integrity left.

For straight up new, Fox has no equal. I do believe that the commentary on any site is targeted to those from the same ideological tree. There is nothing wrong with that either. Just depends upon the tint in one's glasses. Rose colored or amber or........
