Anything Bill O'Reilly is involved with is going to have a "spin." And the largest and most glaring one is that this segment is called a "no spin zone."

Then there is CNN that declare themselves the most trusted name in news.  :laugh: Anyone that has to say that is in doubt. PBS is much better. BBC even has a less tainted report. Our government has just voted to even let news companies control larger market with less completion. It seems that free speech has now a price.

Freedom of the press was always limited to people who owned a press.

Whoever can get the most angry patriots on their side wins.  That's what this spinning is all about.  It's all about elections.  I wish they had waited for a few months on this decision until after the presidential race.

Is it me or does Megyn Kelly seem quite angry too. She is so obviously out of touch. She recently did a hit job on Dr. Spack, about his treatment of T/S children. It wasn't pretty!

They have no intention of ever 'making it pretty,' Dawn. The uglier and more fearsome than can portray us the more it feeds their marginalization of any voices that care to disagree with their agenda and their beliefs.

.... and let us not forget ratings!  Get people angry, divide them over issues that are not important to the general welfare our nation.  Get them to watch!

There is so much opinion interjected these days, I'm hard pressed to call it news.

Fox News, Bill O'Relly, the 700 Club, even the local news station are there only for the money.  None of them even care if they are factual or not.

QuoteFreedom of the press was always limited to people who owned a press.

Thats a fact!
QuoteWhoever can get the most angry patriots on their side wins.

They don't even have to be patriots, just squeaky wheels.

Maybe we should start our own news station.  We could call it "TS/TG Indepth" or maybe " TS.TV ".  >:D

I've often mused on this very subject.  I came up with TVTV. It looks like a typo. I suppose it isn't all that clever.

Again propaganda. The fact is other than daily papers most publishers of news, magazines and books farm out the printing to a subcontractor.

I like TSTV.

However TGIF is trademarked, but I like TSIF.
