Hear hear.....
Let me be clear on my intent. I get tired of hearing "fair and balanced". That's subjective. If by "balance" you mean balancing out neworks that lean left, sure. If by balanced you mean the reporting is balanced, it ain't.
Nowhere did I say that either CNN or MSNBC are Gospel fact, I don't believe that to be true. And for whatever it's worth, I don't watch any of them. News with an agenda, whatever that agenda is, isn't news, it's opinion. And thats what OP/ED's and cartoons are for.

The issue with fascism is the size of government. And by refering to the former administration, you put a republican face on it. My point is to distance equating moderate republicans with conservatism.

Ok, and back to the start, hopefully it will come out in the media, that FO's while not near as experianced as the captain, they are well trained to handle just such an event, and get the plane on the ground safely...hopefully the nuts on both networks will figure this out soon...mabye the public will learn that FO's are quite capable of flying and even (GASP) land it, but I digress away from a political conversation....
