Baron, they all lie. NBC has been caught and so has CBS, CNN, and ABC. ALL news organizations lie, they also make mistakes, and from time to time they have even made some huge *** whoopers and been called to carpet for them. Enough please. This is a free nation, if you don't like Fox, don't watch. Most of us are adult enough to make decisions for ourselves and are quite good at faretting out BS from fact. I myself won't watch NBC news at all. I prefer ABC and Fox, but mostly ABC.

This is true, but I think we severely disagree on the magnitude. In other words FOX goes above and beyond.

Back on Topic:
So what would happen if a Black hole, say a very small one about the size of a pin head, came into contact with our planet?

It wouldn't even get that close before the gravitation would mess everything up enough that all life would be dead.

Just think, all we know about black holes is that we don't really know crap. In fact there is so much about the universe that we don't know that to even think we know the smallest fraction of what can be known is a horribly arrogant of us.

The saying goes the more you learn the less you know. That doesn't mean we don't know anything and that doesn't mean that we can't try to learn. There are some items that are beyond our present reach, but that doesn't mean they will be forever. I'm somewhat confused as to what you're trying to say.

[Atrocities]

I guess what I am trying to say is that there is so much to learn that any one who thinks they know it all don't really know crap.

Of course no one knows everything. Have you honestly met someone who thinks they do?

I just don't understand the need, even if you agree that they all 'misrepresent'/skew the truth, to keep pushing that somehow Fox News is worse. that the company line?

As for black holes...

"Keeton, a member of Rutgers' department of physics and astronomy, said it couldn't happen. He told The Chronicle that a tiny black hole probably could suck up only a few atoms at a time.

Yet it might not go unnoticed. If a black hole as massive as an asteroid -- thousands of tons -- passes through a room, there would be a subtle gravitational tug. "

Can you give a reference to a case where any other major news network than Fox (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) tried to represent a politician caught in a scandal as belonging to a different party? And then refused to acknowledge the "mistake" when caught?

Can you give a reference to a case where any other major news network than Fox (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) made an unfounded claim that a major 'rising star' politician had some sort of radical (not even necessarily 'terrorist') training/indoctrination in his background? And then refused to acknowledge the "mistake" when caught?

Fyron knows everything but he won't admit it.

Does that count?

That was my initial reaction to the question too, but I haven't "honestly met" Fyron, so I had to leave it be.

Funny though!
