Dennis Miller and Fox News are the only ones on television giving out a different message, even Jon Stewart of the Daily Show has turned into a pod person, hissing on Crossfire. Dennis Miller is good, but Fox News has too little news and too many 'celebrity' newscasters.
Why is it that reporters today are unable to tell the difference between telling a story and conveying information? They all think that they're master storytellers and the rest of us are idiots to whom the subtler aspects have to be repeated. Reporters aren't supposed to make things happen, just report. If I want make-believe than I will watch CBS News, but if I want to find out what is going on in the world, there aren't any real choices.
