I don't think you even want to open up the can of worms on "ethics" and the media..

Compared to what your left liberal media has done every single day and continues by slapping people in the face with it  ..adding the arrogance of their attitude behind it.... and you bring up this little piddley item on Fox News??
Pluuuueeese!!!~~ ::)

and yea... if I am going to "trust" any news outlet.. I will choose Fox any day over the others.

I don't think any of them can really be trusted.  They are all missleading and only tell you what they want you to hear.  And 99% of that is nothing more than drivel to keep you focused on the illusion.

I never said trust liberal media.  If this were a place where liberally minded people congregate, I would post the article of Arianna huffington saying that she only took a liberal slant because its easier to make money doing so.  I post about Fox news because so many of you blindly accept their news as facts.  In this instance, they are deceptively trying to malign Mr Ron Paul,  a true CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.  Instead of sitting around worrying about me, liberal media, and being defensive, ask yourself why is it that they promote certain fake conservatives while attacking other conservatives?

Perhaps we do scrutinize Fox.  Perhaps after a clear review, we find that among all sources of news (and commentary) we find Fox to be more balanced, accurate, practical and realistic (I didn't say flawless) than other media outlets prominent (ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC/HLN/PUFFINGTON/etc.) Perhaps we prefer a little BS (bullspit) to a lot of PHD (piled higher and deeper).

There are actually a ton of repub's that say Paul can't win, which really drives me nuts. If they would instead back someone instead of saying "oh, you just can't win" they probably could win. We need a true conservative to win and saying a true conservative can't win keeps them from winning.

Granted he is more libertarian than anything I'd still take him over any of the other choices talked about so far.

The Republican Party is the problem.  After 150 years the Republicans have not "reformed" one bit.  They're roots
are telling.  They've set the pace to continue the ways after their northern victory that changed this country.

The Democrats have changed over the many years and now the Democrats are more "Republican" than even the Republicans.

I don't watch much TV but what I've seen of FOX, at times it's conservative, but the bottom line is it's mostly Republican entertainment. 

None of 'em like Ron Paul or real American conservatism.

I think you're going the wrong way with that.

The Democrats are now socialists and the Republicans are now Democrats. It all one big shift to the left.

Niether one of them is worth a hoot.  One can't expect Republicans to ever be conservative - it gonna happen.

I like your stand.  Stay on 'em.

I like BBC too for the same reason. Sometimes I watch Telemundo too.
