1. press conferences and briefings should be reserved
for journalists. faux, wall st journal, wash times, etc should be excluded.

of course npr should have an honored position.

14. I will never forgive them for allowing David Horowitz to write Howard Zinn's

7. FOX
Put the disruptive one front & center where you can keep an eye on him, like the teacher did in elementary school.

8. What's the difference?
NPR has pledge drives instead of commercials, but that's about it. Juan Williams gets paid by both, and says the same things on both.
