    Actually, FOX Business does a much more creditable job of being "Fair and Balanced" than FOX News. And on that same line, the daytime reporting on FOX is far more balanced than the evening "OP-ED" stuff which is anything but balanced. Ever hear a news story on a topic that you are intimately knowledgeable about? Then you understand how incorrect the news - any news - can be, especially if there is any technical basis to the story. Bottom line: Get your news from a variety of sources; you really will get a more balanced picture. Too bad most of us don't have the time to actually read a few papers in addition to watching the televised stuff.

      I'm actually not kidding. Not at all. Local news in North America is effectively dead. There are fewer "beat" reporters and more aggregators of public relations material. There's exactly one more major TV news outlet in the US, but the smaller local agencies have again been cut back, especially outside of major markets. Copy-editing and fact-checking has been cut drastically, both in terms of funds and time. And yes, international material still comes off AP/Reuters, but that material is generated third-hand and collected in regional hubs, rather than more directly in the field. There simply are not as many people "on the ground" any more, anywhere. The blogosphere has balanced this, somewhat, but much of it has yet to move out of crackpot or aggregator territory. One site that helped to crack Rather (LGF) never really moved beyond that achievement, and has recent devolved into a kind of circle-jerk. Not that the mainstream is any great shakes, but the blogosphere is, at best, a meta-criticism. And metacritics like TTAC are, unfortunately, the exception more often than the rule; they've often not got the resources to do better.

    Congratulations. Keep it up.

    The Fox's ears perked up when it sniffed out your anti-bailout meme (with the Volt as the front man) so they'll put you on their more "fair and balanced" business arm. Same Murdock, different suit.

    EN, your piece in the NYT was read aloud this morning on the local talk radio channel: http://warroom.com/ here in western PA.
