" Surveys should be non-partisan. So in quoting a source, one must consider the source."

The polling methodology is available for your perusal. If you can find any fault with it, let us know. The results were trustworthy, and resoundingly demonstrated the statistical ignorance of Fox viewers on the set of subjects under consideration.

"But you slipped up at the end there when you fell back into your opinion-mode . . ."

Wow, Barbara! What chutzpah! Shall we go back and list each of your unsubstantiated opinions posted within the last few days? Where is it written that every opinion ventured must be substantiated, anyway?

"Based upon what? Your first-hand opinion or upon what you have been hearing from others?"

Almost every morning I read a synopsis of the previous day's Fox shows, with VERBATIM transcripts of the discussions, and reasoned (though not necessarily unbiased) analysis if the stories' accuracy. I've attempted to watch Faux "News" but I just don't have the stomach for it.

" IN MY OPINION, . . ."

Oh, I see. Barbara's Rule states that one must preface each opinion with that formulaic caveat. We'll be monitoring you to see you don't slip.

"But I must congratulate you. You are at least trying to get information,. . ."

From what I've recently learned of your critical thinking skills, your promiscuous choice of sources of information, and your generally bad attitude, you can be sure I am not the slightest bit interested in your validation, little grasshopper.
