That Fox isn't an extension of the Republican party. And that's not coming from someone who hasn't watched some of their programming. I've seen O'Reilly and Hannity and Fox and Friends. To say that their hosts aren't pandering to a certain crowd is disingenuous. I mean when you have Rove on about every other day, how could that even be a defensible position? And I know MSNBC is just as bad just the other way. I align myself more with the liberal crowd, but I still get sick of the one sided huffing and puffing that comes from either side. I don't even have cable so I don't ever catch cable news anymore, but isn't CNN generally regarded as trying to cover the middle ground that the two sides usually don't? That's how I remember it a few years ago, but I could definitely be wrong.
Just a quick thought on Palin. I don't think the media had to paint her as anything. I think she did just fine on her own. The interview with Couric comes to mind.
I know this will immediately make me look like someone that camped out in Central Park for 3 months chanting and holding up signs, but I do like The Daily Show as a source of news. Yeah, his audience is made of stoners, which I am not. But I think Stewart is one of those that isn't afraid to make fun of both sides. Sure, he takes issue with the right more than the left, but unlike Fox and MSNBC he doesn't have a dog in the fight.
