The headline should be -

PBS & Fox have higher trust numbers than CBS, NBC, CNN & ABC !!

and GBBob wouldn't that be 2007 ?

"The Wall Street Journal ranked PPP as one of the top swing state pollsters in the country last year. (11-6-08 WSJ)"


And come on - who the hell is watching PBS ?

all the cool kids. you should try it.

they have plenty of conservative commentators and no ads. you get to hear issues discussed calmly from multiple points of view.

stories are done long form so what's presented in a clipped sound bite on a commercial station might be a 7-8 minute feature with multiple reporters on the news hour.

if you like watching 22 minutes of ads during your hour of news keep watching whatever you do now. be careful if you do watch though. once you've tried commercial free, it's really hard to go back.

you're still only getting 38 minutes on actual news every broadcast hour.

But, but, but ... that's hard, you have to think and pay attention and everything!

Default Terroristic threats to Gov. Jerry Brown

LA Times reports police looking into this against Brown, too. Guess the police are starting to take all this stuff more seriously - or maybe just letting the public know they are on it more?

Quote:
Both Santa Ana police and Gov. Jerry Brown's security detail on Friday are trying find out who wrote graffiti on two walls threatening to kill the new governor on Valentine's Day.

The graffiti, which threatened the governor and included a Nazi swastika, was discovered Thursday and is considered a "terrorist threat." Authorities are also probing any links to earlier graffiti in the area threating to kill Catholics.

I would much rather listen to Fox than any of the other networks. Yes I also enjoy listening to Glen Beck and Bill OReilly.

If so I think they may be a bit back logged finishing up on all the Sarah Palin threats.

My lord as kids we're all asked if someone told you to jump off a bridge would you do it? Suddenly now, we have adults who are listening? I thought the Tuscon killer had no political motives at least not from the right and yet the media continues as if that is the story.

BTW what ever happened to the show "Crossfire"? Bad name?
