In his book Free to Choose, Milton Friedman described four ways to spend money.

1. You spend your own money on yourself.
2. You spend your own money on someone else.
3. You spend someone else’s money on yourself.
4. You spend someone else’s money on someone else.

The graphic shown in the video that displays the four ways to spend money can be viewed at http://freedomchannel.blogspot.com/2008/09/4-ways-to-spend-money-by-milton.html

Even Fox News recognizes the big gap between the opinions of Republicans and the opinions of Democrats when it comes to President Barack Obama’s attempt to get health care insurance reform, particularly when it comes to the “public option” or, as Fox News calls it, the “government run aspect,” but Fox News may actually have significant responsibility for this Republican opinion gap as I show in this video

You can find the full text of HR 3200, the health care bill passed in the the US House of Representatives, to which I refer in this video at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200:

The two clips of Fox News pollster Frank Luntz and his focus group feedback graphs come from Fox News’ August 19, 2009, broadcast of “America’s Newsroom” which I have not been able to find online.

You can see more of MSNBC’s August 18, 2009, broadcast of “The Rachel Maddow Show” from which I took two short clips from my video on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpi5PaAIj8Q

The two clips of Steve Doocy and Gretchen Carlson come from Fox News’ August 18, 2009, broadcast of “Fox and Friends” which I have not been able to find online.

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D
