"Considering that over the past twelve months the stock market is up, employment has increased and the disposable income of U.S. workers has increased, do you think the news media has generally done a good job or bad job providing accurate news about the nation's economy?" -- question included in recent Fox News poll
Rupert Murdoch, the Australian. Australians: Not good at reporting or sticking to the truth. Its seems to be inbuilt to elaborate unnecessarily.
Sorry, I meant I don't get the first post - perhaps I'm being a bit slow, or am I even slower still (like Delphine slow) and not realising your post just now explains that too?
It's a leading question, Mal. Like, "Which is better, Brand A's disgusting pudding, or Brand B's excellent, nutritious pudding?"
In which case the only appropriate response is Brand B. Because Brand A is obviously trying to hard to prove something.

Do you think we're good at telling you about puddings?" Still a bloody stupid question.
I thought it was more that Fox was criticising other news sources for incorrectly suggesting that maybe there are bad things happening. :shock:
Considering that people can't even aggree on what the question actually means, do you think that Fox News is good at getting information accross ?
Yeah, i didn't get the question either but now i see the stupidity of it in the first place!! Funny. . . . But ridiculously stupid. But still funny

Fox News Radio is pretty good. I don't watch their television news channel, but I think all of the major news media sucks. I get most of my news from Coast to Coast AM. Who can bring you better news than the guy that's also warning you of UFO sightings, threatening asteroids, and wierd diseases? Really though, George Noory is a great host and has some very interesting guests. Also his news is always above par. It's just that some of his guests can be a littly-bitty-bit off center. Some of his regular guests are quite interesting and knowledgeable.

Hey ! Good news !! News is about to get even more impartial and clear in America !! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060426/pl_nm/bush_media_dc_11
My favorite poll questiono you think George Bush is a uniter? The result showed that the country was split down the middle.
I don't know much about Snow, but my grandmother likes him as a person. She's a die-hard Democrat and she never says the word Republican without a precursor along the lines of "damned". If she thinks he's ok, then he must be a little better than the one that he's replacing.
[quote:cc023f6a6f="redneck"] If she thinks he's ok, then he must be a little better than the one that he's replacing.[/quote:cc023f6a6f] But considering that the one he is replaceing is Scott "I can not comment on an ongoing investigation" McClellan(sp?) that is not saying much.
