Yeah I'm thinking its not easy to go back to the paper that was published on that day and prove or disprove your claims. So that was weird. I don't care if you were wrong or not, I tend to believe you on that.
In any case SDS, my strategy is to query people who are the ones who claim that news sources are biased and try to find out what sources they think are not biased. Because if they trust it, then I can admit those news sources into a discussion with them. Technically, I just assume everyone is biased about everything and don't trust anyone. But the thing is, when I'm arguing with people, I really want to use sources they trust. At that point, my theory is: they can't hide behind the "it's biased" cop out.
While I'm here, I have to say, I've tried that and it doesn't really work well. I found the most republican papers I could find one day and sent a few disparaging articles about Palin's past to my very republican dad. He never admitted I was right, and went off on some tangent on how we should re-asses the method we are using to debate.
Moral of the story: People do not ever like to admit they are wrong *especially* when it comes to politics.
Also, SDS. You keep mentioning Fox News. I never said anything about Fox (wuts-up-wit-dat?). To a point, I have learned to respect Bill.
