My anti-Fox LTTE is published on the front page
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 08:44 PM by NewJeffCT
Granted, it's only a weekly newspaper in eastern CT without a website... but, it was the first LTTE of the bunch on page 1. (they usually print a good 30 or so each week)

Fox's Ratings
Fox News just showed that they have no sense of shame or decency. Upon hearing of the recent terror attacks in London, Brit Hume's first thought was 'what a good buying opportunity it will be in the stock market!' There was no sympathy for the victims or anger. No, it was how he could profit from it. Then, another reporter said that the terror attacks played to Fox's advantage because it takes global warming and Africa out of the headlines. No wonder Fox's ratings have gone in the tank. People are starting to catch on to their one-trick pony act.

Not sure if this link works or not:

4. Great letter!
I like this one, too, further in:

In response to “World Survey.” How dare the person imply that Osama bin Laden is pulling the strings in the White House? Just because President Bush was recently holding hands with a Saudi ambassador, does not mean he supports the Saudis’ backing of terrorism. Just because the White House outed a high level Al Qaeda double-agent to justify a terror alert, does not mean they are in league with Osama. Just because the bin Laden family funded President Bush’s first business venture out of college, does not mean he owes them anything. Just because the Saudis own nearly $1 trillion in U.S. assets, does not mean they have bought any influence. What’s next, having me believe Nixon was a crook?

7. oh, somebody responded to mine from 2 weeks earlier...
I had written about the survey of nations around the world that showed that Communist China was more popular than the US, even among our staunchest ally in the UK... I think I ended the letter by saying that Osama couldn't have done better if he was pulling the strings himself in the White House.

5. Have Fox's ratings tanked?
I have not seen any recent information. I hope that is the case.
