Why the anger at Fox, thinking conservatives?

Why is Viewpoints Editor Karen Owen so angry? ["Big crybabies are trying to distract us," Oct. 25].
All the major networks seem aligned with the liberal message, except one. And now the White House is at "war" with that network because it has the temerity to offer another side or opinion. It reminds us of the Nixon White House and the Washington Post, right?
And thanks for the reminder about Barry Goldwater being born in a territory. That was quite a stretch! I wish Ms. Owen had the same investigative bent for something important, like ACORN.
With respect to the economic "meltdown," both national parties were at fault. One encouraged banks to issue high-risk mortgages, and the other did not stop it. We all know which is which.
And Wall Street took off and packaged those toxic mortgages into financial packages that were traded globally and wrecked the economy. At least Alan Greenspan was honest and admitted he made a mistake. We won't hear that from our elected representatives.
It was also interesting to read the Oct. 25 article about how Norway will release official records showing the annual income and overall wealth of nearly every taxpayer in the country for 2008.
Columnist Jan Omdahl is quoted as saying, "Isn't this how a social democracy ought to work, with openness, transparency, and social equality as ideals?" Is this to be in our future?
I am not comforted by Ms. Owen's dismissing, as idiots, those who opine that the current administration is attempting to turn us into a socialist nation.
I have learned when people resort to name calling, they generally have no argument.

why don't y'all try to make your arguments without attacking the person..but their argument. People hold all sorts of views which they have a right to have and there is no all-mighty arbiter who declares some as right and others as wrong. Just give that some thought before you roll out the usual personal attacks.

It would be an island of illegal immigrants or they would outsource all their tasks to India! LOL!
