Stop putting words in my mouth. When have I ever said Obummer should be impeached? I don't remember sorry excuses and cover ups with the othe embassy's. Remember it was anti-Muslim movie that started these spontaneous attacks in Libya?

Uhhh, you do realize that there are a lot of liberal democrats who work at Fox News, right??? Dennis Kucinich, Alan Colmes, Wesley Clark, etc, just to name a few.

If Fox News is so far right, how come it has higher ratings than CNN and MSNBC, COMBINE??

Are you being lazy or dishonest by taking cheap shots FNC, or both??

Hillary will be the next president, period. There are no Republican potential candidates that are going to appeal to the majority of Americans in 2016, with a rapidly shrinking white population, and virtually every swing state these days swings in favor of the Democrat. Income inequality will be the #1 election issue and the Democratic party is well prepared to have the upper hand on that issue. Also, Republicans seem to STILL be opposed to gay marriage and women's reproductive rights. These two issues alone will cost them the election.

The Republican party is a sharply divided mess right now. There are the more libertarian types and the more Tea Party types. On the other hand, the Democratic party is more unified with a more consistent, common following.

Jeb Bush, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio are all sad excuses for candidates.

Hillary, Bernie Sanders and Biden would all make great presidents.

Jerry Springer also had great ratings. What does ratings have to do with being a legitimate good unbiased news organization? Ratings has more to do with entertainment.IE right wing screaming matches on fox news reminds me of springer and maury. It's trash tv. lol

Hillary might be a more competent President than the wimp we have now, but Bernie Sanders or Biden? Whatever

Fox news is NOT news. It's opinion. O'relly ranting and raving is not news. It's pure opinion. Also, I'm not sure I'd call most of what msnbc airs as news. CNN is more a pure 24 hour news channel. Msnbc Is just reasonable fantastic political conjecture, unlike the trash and lies on fox news. I wouldn't call it far left on majority of issues. Obvious democratic bias though. They don't hide that. Like I said, a political opinion channel. They did a great documentary on the lies that led to the Iraq war. They really have some great analysis on there. I do think their executives at msnbc are way to quick to fire their tv hosts. Alec baldwin being a prime example. Same with oberman and the indian guy. They never should have been fired.

Are you really arguing that Fox news isn't far right?

It has higher rating because it constantly feeds red meat to the angry, old, far right wing base who watches it 24-7 to justify their outrage. Fox and right wing talk radio has been a very damaging force in American politics by lowering the bar for what's acceptable debate, and putting politics ahead of truth. Every network has some level of bias-- mostly due to the corporate ownership of the networks-- but Fox is in a category all it's own.

If you want to live in Fox News' version of "reality" that's your choice. But, you only look disingenuous yourself when you pretend there is no bias.

I don't watch Fox News nor do I put any faith in any of the cable news networks. They have all been busted for editing interviews, all of them lie, and all of them have an extreme right and left agenda. Matter of fact, all the news even local news suck and don't deliver real news anymore. It's all about ratings and they all help to destroy this country.
