When TV News actually gets some facts they don't post them in writing on their websites. Two examples: Steve Forbes and somebody else who is very smart laid some interesting tax stuff on the table yesterday on the now relegated to hell Kudlow and Cramer. One of them made the statement based on his view that the total of taxes paid by the very very rich has gone down dramatically and proved it. Forbes had a differenent conclusion and proved it. Were this in writing it would be dammed interesting. The second is the FOX site which blacks out its own shows. O'Reilly did a point by point expose of the 9-11 "moms" connection to Left Wing propaganda groups; not a single word of which is on the FOX website. Cable News is getting a free ride on libel laws. Either they are factually false, or not. Cable news? Cable fiction? I report, you decide
