Reply #5: Thank you Joe - with regard to FOX, I don't think that I could stomach

[Time for change]

watching those guys long enough to have enough material to rant about them.

At least Matthews gives the appearance of being a decent journalist, and so I guess he fooled me for quite a while. I say that because I figure, why would I watch him so much (prior to Dec. 2000) if I didn't think he did a decent show? And I think that that's what makes him more dangerous than FOX - he may appeal to moderates and perhaps sway them, whereas I think that FOX appeals only to far right wingers. But you're right, they do have quite a following - I don't understand why, but you can't argue with the facts.

One thing I don't understand about what you said though. You agree that Matthews has no journalistic integrity, but then you say he's a paragon of fairness compared to O'Lielly and Hannity. But how can you have less integrity than none?
