    Ok. But I'm not at any point saying that you have to watch Fox News at any point though. I'm just describing a way in which JuanValdez's philosophy of ideologically edited news content resembles Fox News. There were no claims about being forced to watch anything. Your statement and my comments are only related in that they both deal with Fox News.

    I was just discussing my unfavorable views on a particular news delivery philosophy, not bemoaning the lack of options, or claiming that I have been forcibly made to view Fox News against my will. Fox News only exists in my statements only as a corollary.

    Don't misunderstand my complaint. I'm not faulting the news organization for reporting it. I think that is perfectly commendable. I'm reproaching DonkeyMagic for belittling the story of secret prisons with this one, as if secret prisons were small-time stuff compared to Taliban trying to use kids as bombs. So, I'm talking about where the center of discourse should lie, not about what reporting we should allow.

    i wasnt belittleing the story actually, i was making the point, one that you somewhat made, that some people dont care about atrocities done by others. Rather they focus on america and even more accurately the current administration for their own political purposes
