Canvasback, Yes CNN and MSNBC rant much like Fox News from the other side of the fence. I don't watch either of them. At the gym about four mornings per week I peddle a stationary bike in front of The TV that shows Fox news. I warm up on the bike for ten minutes and always get a good laugh from the "news". Of course Fox is profitable; look at their advertisers. The views they push so enthusiastically are precisely those of our plutocratic rulers. Fox gets along by going along. Rupert Murdoch will stoop to any shameless pandering to maintain his profits and power, even having his henchmen tap the phones of private citizens and public officials.PS, FDR cut corners, but at the same time he saved western civilization from the Nazis and the Japanese. That should count for something too.
