thank you weso1!
It really was.
Everyone knows what the anchor was trying to do, but lets not act like it isn't going on all over the news. To think otherwise is simply wrong.

Sort of an unsurprising reaction to the rampant anti-intellectualism ubiquitous in the US these days.

Him saying all he said about himself was a response to her complete and utter stupidity. She was only identifying him by his religion, as if he is literally nothing else in his entire life except for a muslim. He had to keep reiterating that this was his job, this is what he studied for years for - that he wasn't writing as a muslim, but as a scholar. When someone continually doesn't even begin to comprehend that possibility, yes, one may go overboard in defending his credentials.
i wonder why he kept doing that
hmmm
Giles is just jealous he cant blow himself.
Don't lie, you tried and failed too. We all did once and we all died a lil when we couldn't
Cable news is a joke. While I'm rather harsh on Fox, I'm sick of CNN's constant religion hate to where I don't even like to get their headlines anymore. MSNBC? I can't stomach that either.
Any of you play StarCraft II? They do a great job of mocking cable news and it's shameless smearing of facts.
BTW, how long do I have to be a creepy lurking stalker? Can't I just be a lurking stocker? Or just creepy?
Until you stop lurking and start posting more.

Red Eye is a great show. One of the few cable news show that's actually worth watching. Tough to stay up that late to watch it though and sure as hell aint going to record it.
thank you weso1!
Don't watch much cable news, but I am amused by Greg Gutfeld in that he wrote a book decrying phony outrage and his show is pretty much phony outrage.
Like elmontc, I try to keep up with a variety of newspapers and magazines (some of which are on the internet). If you just want news, Wall Street Journal and New York Times are both good if you stay off the editorial pages, which have their obvious slants. The straight news from those outlets is still pretty solid. Most of the rest of the country is one big Associated Press feed.
What I have found helpful is subscribing to a lot of magazines and news services across the political spectrum on Twitter. Always a story coming with a lot of different angles presented. Use your critical thinking abilities to form an opinion instead of having it spoon fed to you by a talking head.
I don't watch thethe news either. Too sensationalistic.

I agree with that... Plus you get all of the news that way. Of course if you're going to do it this way then you have to make sure your critical thinking remains unbiased. Easier said than done.

You're absolutely right on that one. I'm left-of-center and have spent a life surrounded by politics and government, so I try extra hard to check my biases at the door, but I often forget to wipe my shoes and manage to mess up the carpet of my thinking. We all have our opinions. I just think it's incumbent on us to inform our opinions.

Weso, why not dvr Redeye? I record it nightly but I delete it as soon as I see Mike Bakers face. Redeye has its moments: Jesse Joyce, tucker Carlson, Gavin McGiness plus the Leg chair.
Bad interview on both their parts. Opening question actually wasn't that bad, just her follow ups were.
