    This is a total non-story posed in a dishonestly sensationalistic fashion. That's right! People should get their news from Fox.

    Is Fox news the only US station you can get over there?

    . . . because all the rest are quite liberal, as evidenced by the difference in the way they treat the 2 presidential candidates. If you consider ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN to be right wing, then you must be . . .

    umm, never mind. I think I just figured it out.

    ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN are relatively left wing, in the same way that Darth Vader proves himself to be slightly to the left of Emperor Palpatine in the end.

    Clear Channel had nothing to do with it. The fact of the matter is that the Dixie Chicks made a very public statement that was in direct opposition to the general opinions of their target audience.

    As Larry the Cable Guy said, it's like walking into a trailer park and yelling "WalMart sucks!"

    Title: Top 25 Censored Site Pushes Frontier
    Author: Anonymous Slashdot Coward

    Form of Censorship: Not being passed to mainstream media

    The Top 25 Censored Stories Site(T2CSS), of Sonoma University, continues to push the frontier in logic , sense and demagogery. The Web Site, sponsored by Sonoma University in California, has wowed readers by pointing out such stories that should have made mainstream such as: how Wal-Mart, in buying existing stores in foreign countries, creates sprawl in those countries despite an on the face (prima facae) violation of the logic of that statement. That such a(n) (il)logical statement should not make the major media outlets, yet does fulfill the fancy of Sonoma University Acadademe, demonstrates the great lengths that Sonoma University faculty have taken in pushing our American concept of logic.

    Our reporter in the field spoke with Professor 'Ivan A. Nicefrosh' of Sonoma University, reclining after a toke:

    '[You] know, you should come to some of our parties man. We get low, swig back some Irish Rose and man, Ernie brings some smooth stuff. [Snort] Anyway, yah we are taking on the man. Look at these stories man, they're gold! I just got one about Haliburton- I think we'll make it seven.'

    Following the interview with the Professor, we asked some students about the program. Sarah S. said 'I love the parties! And we really get to stick it to the man, you know? I think Ivan likes me. What do you think?'

    The Web Site currently enjoys thirty staff and periodic visits from hundreds of party-goers around the world.

    If military service is a primary measure of whether or not a candidate has the 'right stuff' to be President, then Bush also fails - miserably.

    All you've done is prove that by your own standards BOTH candidates are unfit for office.

    "consideration of THAT story on Fox 'News'"

    Too many big words, not enough pretty colors.
