Because they don't like choice. The only time a Liberal likes Choice is when a woman is pregnant. Any other time.. they don't support choice or any opposing opinion.

The same with tolerance. "All things considered," they demand tolerance, but rarely sincerely return it.

My question is, Why did Foxnews.com excise from an Associated Press report contextual, factual information that prima facie does not lend itself to a conservative view of the remaining information in the report?

Because they have a conservative bias and agenda and have never tried to conceal that, as opposed to the NPRs (et al) who profess to be neutral, but where never is heard a conservative word, and the values of faith, family and social conservatism is smirked at with condescension, and everything in fly-over country is a quaint oddity.

That's either your ignorance or a lie. Either way, it's not the truth.

Thanks, friend. I love to be called an ignorant liar.

Since what you said is not the truth, it's either ignorance or a lie. My friends appreciate the truth. It's up to you, Gary.

Their motto "Fair and Balanced" belies this statement.

Tim, your arrogance never ceases to amaze me. If you hold a view, everyone who holds a contrary view is automatically wrong... or ignorant, or a liar. Sad.

You are clueless. If everyone else is promoting "A" and you promote "B" it is the counter-balance.

You're funny, Gary. Sad but funny. The motto "Fair and Balanced" never meant "to the extreme right in order to counter-balance the extreme left." It means and has always meant, "we are fair and balanced; they are not." It's a misnomer. Fox News is not fair and balanced.

Thus spake the great and mighty Elston. All other views are, hereby, wrong, because Tim said so. As always.

Why don't you stick to the issue, Gary? Ad hominem tactics don't become a bishop.
