Glad you used that source... so politically biased it's not even worthy of being called a "news" site.

Please find a better source. I couldn't read past the first paragraph.

Interesting. I have pictures of that aircraft sitting at Ft Lauderdale Executive from a few years ago. Never thought it would be involved in drug trafficking!

The article even states that the owner and broker both deny that the aircraft has been siezed... This article contains a lot of speculation, hearsay and innuendo, but doesn't bother to differentiate between them.

BDK-
Does it make you feel like you've been watching FOX NEWS?

Seems like a BS news source with an axe to grind quite obviously.

I wish they would have kept their focus on Brittney....

What exactly is your point? I don't watch Fox news nor do I watch much TV.

If FOX NEWS truly IS news, then why is it carried in the TV listings under 'ENTERTAINMENT" like 'Inside Edition' instead of under 'NEWS' like CNN and the networks news programs?
And, like you BDK I watch very very little commercial TV preferring TMC, NatGeo, History, and Discovery to the' chewing gum for the four year olds brain' that seems to permeate broadcast television. (don't tell anyone, but I occasionally watch C-span and C-span 2)
If you want fair and balanced news, watch CNN for an hour and then FOX for an hour, and hope you have enough mental power left to sift it out and find at least a kernal or two of solid truth in the end because it's all pretty much bovine byproduct, the actions remain pretty constant, they just shift the locales to keep you coming back :wink:

Maybe Fox News is just more honest than the others? :wink:

If I were you, I wouldn't read too much into TV listing classifications. Does all this really matter? All TV is entertainment in my opinion.
