LOL...I'm a news junkie and I not only watch Fox but I also catch MSNBC (for a laugh) and I watch a lot of CNN because it is broadcast by my cable provider (Comcast) in High Definition.

As for the PORK...Yeah I know that it is added at the last minute all the time which is why it was added in this bill. StatDoc made it sound as if these pork projects were already voted on and "passed" by the House and then attached to the bailout bill in order to conform to lawmaker rules.

That is not what is being reported from what I can find on-line from ANY news source.
