Since I listen to neither fox trash nor pbs trash - I find your statement interesting. I thought listening to news was generally hearing stuff one hadn't heard before or didn't know much about. I thought that's what makes it news. If so - how can one possibly decide then and there that it is factual, accurate, informed, and intelligent bias free stuff?? By listening to more of the same?? That's the very same argument Fox Fiends make. For myself - I found idiots like Glenn Beck and former PBS talking head Steve Inskeep - to both be hopelessly and stupidly slanted.

I think you make George Will's point perfectly. We want to subsidize what we agree with - because that's what smart people do - right????
