To Deluisianne:

Sorry, but your link to the YouTube video demonstrates nothing other than its creator is an Archie-Bunker-style liberal bigot/fascist. I'd come to expect better from you.
Sorry to disappoint you... do you mean the video that gives direct Fox clips?

What was excellent about the Brit Hume hallway interview? The only useful thing in there was that he noted that rises and drops in Fox viewership correspond directly to Fox's leverage on the viewers' rage.

Lay off the Kool Aid. Even in the linked YouTube video in this thread there is no evidence of Fox news propagating lies, as you say. Sounds to me as if you need to do some work and get a new source that isn't spreading blather.

I agree. Fox News shouldn't be allowed to use the term "Fair and Balanced" because they are nowhere near being fair and balanced.
