2. Sounds like a cynical attempt by NewsCorp to provide cover for Fox
"We're not biased, our owners endorsed Kerry"

"Boy, them Fox boys must be telling the truth if they're going aginst the politics of the owners>"

3. You know, it occurs to me that Faux has a vested interest in a Kerry win.
I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh, when I could stand it, with the idea of trying to understand the opposing view. I couldn't WAIT to listen the day after Clinton was elected in 1992, hoping to hear him wallow in self-pity. Instead, he gloated that HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG, that he had predicted a Clinton win, and then he went on to expand his radio show in the next eight years by constantly bashing Clinton and Democratics.

Faux and Faux wannabes will make a ton of money creating controvery and preaching to their flocks about the horrors of the Kerry-Edwards administration.

4. And, as I recall, he used to start out the show with
"America held hostage, day nnn".

Yup, that was the positive, non-attacking, support your president stuff that all the warm-fuzzy Republicans contend that they always have projected.

5. Sounds familiar but I never listened to him again after about the
first 15 minutes on the day after Clinton was elected.

Yes, let's see how "patriotic" the Republicans are when Kerry is elected!
