Then why do so many folks take it at face value?

I don't buy something because the commercial for it made me laugh. Geico commercials are hilarious, but they stink for auto insurance.

I am more questioning our gullability, than the media itself. We foster this environment.

I bet some guys won't read Fox, others hate the NY times.

Because they cater to pre-existing beliefs.

I want some kind of neutrality back, we have digressed back to the Hearst days of yellow journalism.
