The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There are left-wing radical sources, I'm sure. Few (if any) have the prominence of right-wing sources (e.g. Fox is the biggest in the business, last I knew). I don't pay attention to those, so couldn't really name them. But I am inundated with cites from unreliable sources on the right, so I know some of them (because, in some cases, I had to look them up because there were so out-there that I hadn't even heard of them).

I live in a border state, so I'm aware. Fox (and others) is making it a huge deal, but we are mostly going about our business in Arizona. Meanwhile, folks in Florida (NOT a border state) are in a tizzy...whipped-up by Fox and Newsmax and others.

Really, I can't believe anyone watches Fox anymore after the Dominion thing. Their internal memos, detailed in the court filings, clearly indicate that they weren't interested in presenting factual news. They were interested in ratings, and telling people what they wanted to hear regardless of the accuracy of those statements. That is not the function of a news organization. If you want accurate information, don't watch Fox. That is clear from the court filings.
