I'm not so sure about Fox News, I've read the reports and seen a lot of their stuff. Just like the majority of main stream news media they have an agenda and a view they want to push across. I think they're still fairly biased in one direction or another. Some of the news media that I have found to be fairly 'facts based' is NPR Radio. Now don't get me wrong, they're not perfect. It just seems that their news reporting is more about the facts, and not so much about the broadcaster's opinion, or how they view the situation. They have open panel discussions that aren't a sham like some of the stuff you would see on CNN, they have dialog that isn't cut, censored, and abruptly ended early because they arn't getting the opinions they wanted like what you sometimes see on Fox News, ect ect. Is Fox News bad? I wouldn't necessarily say that, are they biased? I would have to say yes. That's why if you're really going to be looking at what's going on around the world, shop around a bit, see what the general consensus is on something. More importantly though, try and see the story from both perspectives. That's why when I check the news I often times check the following: news.bbc.co.uk, www.wluctv6.com, english.aljazeera.net, http://www.npr.org/, Fox News & Others If you only see your news from one location, the only view you will have on those stories are from that location. For the most part Fox news is correct, but sometimes it's downright biased and wrong, that's why it's important to cross check your facts. As a Christian, it is important that we don't get caught up in a narrow minded view of the world. It is important to understand both sides of the same coin lest we become ignorant and hard hearted towards others both here and elsewhere in the world. Jesus called upon us to love one another and to uphold His laws. How can we do that if we don't even understand where people that are in trouble in this world are coming from? If we don't take time to understand their situation, their 'language' if you will. How are we ever going to be able to 'communicate' with them? That's where an openness to listen, understand, and to try to see things from their perspective becomes important. ~Reuben
