I knew K. King Burnett well. He was a very liberal attorney and counselor of choice of Ilia Fehrer. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Getting the News

Decisions, decisions. Where do I turn for News?

I'm FOX NEWS.. viewing the broad horizon through a keyhole. I'm the money-making machine that thrives by telling folks what they want to hear. No, no, no we don't bend toward conservative agendas or cater to unspoken or spoken prejudices. We're Fair And Balanced. 

I'm CNN.. and folks use the horrible word Liberal to describe me.  Folks say my reporters, anchors, and writers conspire to slant and make up news to fit their Liberal views. Ouch! We were under the illusion we were exercising our freedom of the press in an unbiased effort to inform the public. We asked the President for his evaluation.
