I would support an atheist president above all else (if I agreed with the policies, of course), but it doesn't matter if a theist president is a Christian, a Muslim, or a Jew. Hell, it would be more interesting to have a Hindu president!

The most effective way to end poverty, strictly speaking, would be to erase all records of the concept from our society. Eliminate the word. Change news articles and media to reflect the new paradigm. Within a generation people will forget the concept.

CNN and Fox are both biased, but their bias(es?) are different. Fox News has a very conservative, right wing bias, which shows in the kinds of stories and editorializing they do.

Both are mainly entertainment, rather than reporting.
