    >would agree, but hardly unbiased!

    Fox makes it quite clear that they hope the American side wins, but at least
    they put all their cards on the table. Would you rather have a network that
    pretended to be neutral but really was not; would you rather have a network
    that suffered from moral imbecility to such a degree that it really did see
    a moral equivalence between the American and Iraqi side?

    > CNN is boring by comparison, but in my view news SHOULD be boring.

    If your coverage makes war look boring then you have distorted information.
    Face the truth, war is horrible, war is evil, but war is not boring.

    > I don't want pizzazz and excitement and heated emotions.

    Then you really do want distorted information, war if full of pizzazz and
    excitement and heated emotions.
