Another thing for the pro-Fox News group to consider:

When comparing Fox News to NPR, do you really think you're dealing with
comparable quality in terms of writing and reporting?  You should think
about this.  Fox News has half the intelligence of NPR.

Interesting question:  Why does it seem that the intellectual elite of our
country (and the *world*, I would say)) is Liberal and not Conservative?
Is it because they are smart enough to know better?  Is it because of some
kind of self-perpetuating bias in academe?  I think it's a little of both.

I'm the kind of person who will listen patiently to both NPR and Fox News.
I probably seem like a "libby" to the far Right and like a moderate to the
far Left.  I can live with that.  People who listen only to Fox News and
can't stand NPR are just not getting a full picture of what's really
happening and what people are thinking and feeling about the major issues.
