It's just as biased and the exact counterpart to Fox News... BOTH CHANNELS ARE TRASH if you really want to get unbiased news, neither are worthy of calling themseves "news."

What's hilarious (and sad) is that Fox News watchers can't possibly admit the same for Fox News.

To a conservative, apolitical is the same as liberal. Unless all programming displays an obvious conservative tilt, that channel or news outlet is deemed to be an evil spawn of Satan that is attempting to push the liberal agenda and turn your kids gay.

When one considers this news, it's no surprise

Right, especially that time they reported that the President and First Lady were giving each other "terrorist fist bumps" or when they broadcast that President Obama had a deep seated hatred for white people or how about the time when they told all of their bedwetting fans that Obama was going to send them to the FEMA camps.

For what it's worth, I hope Fox News keeps on bringing Victoria Jackson on to spout more nonsense because she's exactly the kind of "source" that Fox News watchers deserve. What a loon!

God Bless.
yep, most of us FOX types do depend on several other sources: here is just an example of how we get our news:
FOX: pretty much The Five, O'Reilly and Chris Wallace on sundays
PBS on Friday nights: Akansas this week (very liberal I will add) and McLaughlin
Meet the Press if we are not in church
Time magazine
The Week magazine
Our daily newspaper
and occassionally we watch CNN and MSNBC
CBS sometimes from 5:30 until our local news comes on.
I am sure we are not an exception..
