The same study found that Fox’s main source audience was 38% Republican and 18% Democratic." This just can't be true. CNN's audience is more partisan than Fox's?????

Nice misread.

Democrats have far less fear of Fox's lies upsetting their construct of the world, than knee-jerk conservatives have of truth…

You cannot steal the heart of a woman through tea ceremony or poetry. Be masculine!

The new survey on Afghanistan found instances of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress at about the same as they were in 2007 but double 2005’s cases. That was 21.4% in 2009, 23.4% in 2007 and 10.4% in 2005. That compares to a lower 13.3% in Iraq, down from 18.8%…

Havel, now 73, was co-author of the Charter 77 human rights manifesto

Sorry, I just had an image of a Taliban battleship dictating terms of surrender on the Potomac.
