So, it's in good taste to be dishonest?
OR... we could look toward the day where computers power is cheap and plentiful enough that we actually look for the characteristics of a paedophile in action.
Seeing how MySpace, Google and countless other sites already track people's activites to answer the question "is this person likely to want to purchase product 'X'?", it doesn't seem too different in concept to use the same techology to answer the question "is this person likely to be a sexual predator?" No special government-issued Internet access pass required, just the information about us and our browsing habits that's already out there now (which is considerable, I grant you).
That plus parents teaching their children how to be safe online would be just as effective as the government control scheme you proposed.
It's also everyone else's constitutional right to complain about them if they don't like 'em, right?

NO, being dishonest is a constitutional right so long as you are not in a court of law.
Yep.

What do you mean admit? Every news station is comprised of dishonest fear mongering spawns who most likely evolved straight from reptiles.
It is their right to be dishonest and claim they are fair and balanced. Just as it is my right to compare them to a retarded duck-billed platypus
The only news source I do not despise is the BBC.

Maybe you should look into what Libby was actually found guilty. Libby was fond NOT GUILTY of making false statements to the FBI. He was found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice.You don't believe Fox News is "fair and balanced" or biased?
Not Fox!

Why do so many people have such a problem with a network that has opinion shows whose hosts are more moderate to conservative than most other news and current event shows? I have never understoof it. The great thing about America is that they have a right to produce any show that they want to, and the free market will decide how successful they will be. IF you don't like it, then don't watch it. They don't have to change their name and they can do whatever the hell they want to. By the way, from the standpoint of newscast, the network has a very factual, middle of the road approach. I think it is the opinion based shows that are ******* you guys off so much, but hey every network does it. It's just that Fox provides a place that conservatives can find appealing, unlike any of the other networks.

All the news media is pro-capitalist. I would change all of their scrolling text to say "Our news is decided by our sponsors. We don't care about educating you on the news unless it makes us a bigger buck."

:yes:
I abhor every single news channel with the exception of the BBC, which actually cares more about its programs then its advertisements.

Whenever I look for an opinion about Fox News I go straight to Kieth Olberman.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Well, with the exception of CBS, NBC, ABC and the vast majority of the print media in the U.S.

I have to be honest here. I know it's not a Christian attitude, but Keith Olberman nauseates me. I can't remember seeing a more smarmy, condescending public figure. I AGREE with most of his views on Bill O'Reilly, but c'mon; what does it say about you when the most frequent victim of your tirades is the guy who is opposite you on another channel.
Keith Olberman: Worst. Person. Ever.

You think a capitalist system is incapable of producing an honest news source I take it?
Can you prove that?

By the way, I am assuming that those of you who think it is "way slanted to the right" are refering to the commentation programs on the network. I would just point out that those commentators do not promote themselves as news reporters, but as entertainers. When it comes to simply reporting current events, I personnally find them to be pretty middle of the road.

LOL, well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it.
Let me ask, how do you think of Olbermann as compared to O'Reilly?
