I would love to hear from the left EXACTLY the things Fox News supposedly lied about. Not vague, but ACTUAL & FACTUAL.

Which television news network provides the most accurate news and has the most politically diverse representation of guests on the opinion programming? I watch them all and Fox News has been the most accurate and they also have lots of people from the left on as guests, which I like as I want to hear how they can try to defend Obama's epic failures.

I was under the impression these three networks are commentary networks.

They all lie. None of them tell the real truth except Judge Napolitano

I couldn't answer your poll. It failed to include an option of none of the above.

Fox may well be better than many of the other major cable networks. However, as long as they allow agenda driven buffoons like Hannity to marginalize candidates like Ron Paul while touting the virtues of RINOs like Romney they will continue to alienate those of us looking for factual news.

I have no use for blind partisan bias whether that partisanship is oriented in the favor of either Democrats or Republicans. I want a true factual account of news. Fox does no more to provide that than CNN or MSNBC.

I would say that you fail to watch Fox News during the daytime hours. Of course, you are right about the 8:00 to 11:00 times, though.

You need to try Fox during the daytime hours to see just what they do do instead of taking the words of Media Matters and the other Soros groups that were created for destruction of Fox and for no other reason.

What hours of the day do you do your Fox viewing? I would say that when you threw in Hannity it must be the prime time hours. Maybe you need to watch them now and then during the daytime hours, especially now that Beck is gone.

Yes, here's a 21 page list of egregious lies from Fox News.

Fox Nation | Media Matters for America (http://mediamatters.org/search/tag/fox_nation?page=1&tab=all&tags=fox_nation - broken link)

Nice poll from, 18 months ago. Both links reference the same poll. Class there.

Argumentum ad populum - RationalWiki

"This logical fallacy is often used by children as an excuse for wanting something (everybody's got one), or doing something (everybody's doing it). Despite the juvenile nature of the argument, it is often used by people who should know better, particularly by those who are trying to force other people to their way of thinking."

I've watched them at all hours. The fact that they allow and promote the mindless partisan braying of a blindly partisan idiot like Hannity completely puts me off.

I'd rather get my news from multiple sources on the net and form my own opinions rather than have and agenda driven news outlet attempt to influence those opinions.

I don't watch any of these networks (well, occasionally at a friends or my parents place or a clip online now and then). I don't have a tv.
