Subject: Ok now here's a link, but I have to warn you first... if you are a Hanitty fan, and that means you love love love Fox News, you just might not want to watch this, or read the transcript of this show on Australian TV.

For those of you who are at least a little open minded, and can stand to see something that just might make you question what you are seeing on Fox News, you'll want to watch this video of a show called "Media Watch" that ABC does in Australia. Now for all of you Hannity followers, he might get made at you for watching this - maybe he'd even call you un-American, you'll have to just take that risk.

Or the transcript can be read at: http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s826189.htm

[> And I should believe ABC's Australian production instead? No motivation to vilify Fox on their end, is there. Wake up, anybody with half a brain realizes that truth is the first victim of war! Please don't waste our time unless you have something really earthshaking to reveal to us. -- Bill, 09:05:42 04/19/03 Sat

[> [> Sure truth is the first victim, that's why you have to seek it out. I've been troubled as to why Murdoch is so in favor of this war and maybe I found out why - As old Irv used to say.. follow that money trail - ckick here to see where it might lead -- richiep, 02:10:36 04/20/03 Sun

It's another article from Australia, but here's the one paragraph that really caught my eye:

Rupert Murdoch's vast newspaper empire has waged a relentless pro-war propaganda war before and since the war began without even the pretence, in many cases, that even the facade of journalism - a genuine attempt to get the facts in the time available and to present what is known at the time of going to press, appropriately attributed - is being preserved. It just so happens that Murdoch wants US government approval to take over DirecTV and further extend his grip on pay TV.

[> [> [> Rich, all I was trying to say, is that your not going to get an ounce more of truth from ABC then Fox and vice versa. If your looking for the truth, don't waste your time with Fox, ABC et all. I did not mean to be rude or crass in my reply, and I apologize if it came off that way. -- Bill, 15:33:18 04/21/03 Mon
