Today I got into a heated discussion with a guy that delivers to the place I work. Somehow we got into politics and he told me he gets his information from Fox news and talk radio. I had to share my opinion that Fox is the propaganda division of the GOP so things were getting interesting.

As near as I could tell, his main argument for the reliability and truthfulness of Fox is that they have the highest ratings. I can’t wait until he comes back next week so I can get a clearer explanation of his reasoning :eek:
