Sure, CNN and Fox will retain lots of viewers, but more and more people see them as simple spewers of propaganda. Buyer beware. Intelligent discussion has migrated to such internet sources an DV, ICH and others and is available to anyone at all, 24 hours a day. You can't force people to be intelligent, and many will choose to remain wilfully ignorant. 'Thanks for comin' in'- Wolf Blitzer.

What we need now, are ideas on how to solve this problem.
