Typical crock of BS from a "fair and balanced" Fox News interviewer. The guy admits to punching the "biter" not once, but twice, and admits that the he threw the first punches. The guy's fist ends up in the biter's mouth when he hit him in the mouth. Oh, yeah, like the biter had absolutely no right to defend himself from someone who threw the first punch, hit him a second time in the mouth, and then the biter clamped down on him. Instead, that bite must have been a premeditated act planned by a lunatic. Interviewer never mentions self defense on behalf of the biter.

Anti government health care? Then don't go to the hospital and bill Medicare for it, buddy. Cavuto never mentioned that a government health care plan took care of the guy's medical bills. Never even mentioned it.

Note the last comment by Cavuto. "I'm going to find you." How filled with self importance is Cavuto? Like it's personal! How about something reasonable like, "We at Fox will continue to publicize this to help the sheriff's department find all parties involved to get the entire story."?

It's a widely reported story, not just on FOX. As if CNN or MSNBC won't spin it the other way. How about losing the partisan bs and focus on the story at hand?

Losing the partisan bs is what should happen. Around here, we're fortunate to have news on a lot of broadcast networks and independent stations that handle the stories with a lot less of that "partisan bs." That's why I watch them more often than Fox and MSNBC. I make it a point to pick up news broadcasts on at least four stations a day, rotating my viewing around and not limiting myself to the same stations all the time.

I only watch Fox and MSNBC knowing that the truth is somewhere in between the two. Neither one is correct; neither one represents journalism. I don't bother with CNN anymore.

One big problem is that almost all stations and newsprint media get their stories through the Associated Press. If AP spins it, everyone else passes it along with the slant on it. So, I also try to pick up an international broadcast or two a day.

I do the same thing. It's like lateral limits and move about 40% to the middle from each of them and you are getting close to the real story.
