     Both Fox and many liberal news sources lie all the time.  Whether it   
   is a lie now seems to depend of Party affiliation.  The party agenda   
   is above all.   
      
     I'm still trying to figure out why MSNBC edited the martin tape to   
   provoke violence.   
      
    Sadly I must read many sources to get to the facts.  Even need to go   
   to foreign sources to get to the truth about things in the US.  This   
   shows how bad the US mews media has gotten.
