The question this thread starts with is strange to me: isn't Fox News a news station? Their job is to report on issues, not support or oppose them. Asking the question implies that Fox News isn't there to provide news, and this is accepted fact.
Can you name a major "news outlet" that actually reports the news without bias?

I certainly can't!

Why are there so many threads regarding "Fox News"? In reality what they think about anything is completely irrelevant. The average number of viewers is under a million and a large proportion of those are over 60 years of age. Fox is representative of NOTHING. I don't know how all of these cable news stations have such influence. Why does anyone care what they think?

So your saying all Christains are opposed to SSM marriage? Get out!! And it seems Megyn is fine with it. Bill O'Reilly as well. Also Shepard Smith is a big time supporter.

Tell that to the people at Fox News. They didn't get your memo.

Rep-Absolutely. I have more than a few Gay friends that are single issue voters for Dems for that reason alone. Being non-gay friendly is mostly religously driven anyway and we become less of a religious country every year.

As for as Fox supporting Gay marriage, I don't see it yet.

Talk is cheap. Just think, if two people marry they could marry themselves right out of an Obamacare subsidy and have to pay higher health insurance cost and higher taxes. Besides, gays don't need birth control. Think of it this way... It's not what is said, it's the policies and Obamacare may punish those who marry.
