If you actual came up with lies from the actual news show on fox news, then hell yea, I'm right there with you. but you making it sound like news coming from the Gilligan island show.
Actually, Gillian Island is a close approximation.

Fox News has only one news show that I know of: "Special Report with Brett Baer" (3 pm West Coast, 6 pm East Coast). So if liberals want to attack Fox News for accuracy, they should look for errors on Special Report.

The rest of Fox News is commentary that leans conservative.

I don't know why libs get in such a huff about the one and only televised media outlet that leans conservative.

I guess they still haven't got used to not completely dominating television. They're like a spoiled only child who can't deal with a new sibling.

Now, it couldn't possibly be that Fox is a real threat to them, could it? I mean, how could that possibly be when they always tell the truth and are fair and balanced?

One thing I have noticed: MSNBC, the liberal-left counterpart to Fox, has a lot fewer conservatives than Fox has liberals.
So there is some truth to Fox's fair and balanced claim.

It is also true that the liberal media simply ignore stories that make Obama and the Democrats look bad.

Now for a couple of liberal lies: CBS's Dan Rather using forged documents to discredit President Bush. MSNBC editing the Zimmerman tape to make him appear racist....

The bold is like arguing that you arent a murder simply because someone else killed 3 more people than you did. That being said it isnt even true.

Fox News has a total of 2 Democrats as hosts, the same number as MSNBC has of Republicans. Both hire plenty of commentators to come on the air. There is no way you know how many commentators are on either channel because there is no way you can watch both for their entire 16 hours of live broadcasts.

Neither CBS or NBC( that is who edited the tape, not MSNBC) are liberal. Rather was following a story where multiple military personnel lied to him. He should have vetted his story but to argue the way you did is false. Same with NBC because their edit didnt change what Zimmerman said Martin looked to be up to no good.

Month of February. Fox news was not only #1 news on cable, they were #1 on cable beating #2 USA and #3 ESPN
Fox evening prime time viewers 3.1 million, 705,00 in the 25-54 age group
MSNBC evening prime time viewers 907,000, 129,000 in the 25-54 age group
MSM didn't think it was news worthy with the reports of millions of dollars of foreign money going to the Bill And Hill slush fund.
Are these fox numbers really good?

ABC 8 million viewers
CBS 6 million viewers
NBC 8.5 million viewers.

Why all the hoopla over Fox when they have less than half the numbers of the prime networks? I don't get it.

The fact that the Daily Show is somehow seen as the arbiter of truth explains a lot in this country.

He is a commentator. Commenting mostly on current events.

Compare the Fox numbers with CNN and MSNBC and get back to me.

That has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. I want that 6 seconds back. Actually for me it was more like 3-4, because once I realized that I couldn't read the captions, I closed the window.
you didn't see the part where it says tap the screen to pause for the lies?

No I didn't. When I saw the frames going by way too quickly to read, I thought to myself, 'this is dumb,' and closed the window. If you have to tap a screen 50 times isn't that going to take more than 6 seconds, thus negating the claim?

It reminds me of when I went to the state fair with my cousin at around age 12 or 13. There was a big mural of a voluptuous, scantily clad woman with some big pythons, cobras, etc. 'Zelda the snake woman' or some such thing. She looked super hot, so me and my cousin paid our dollar, got in line, and proceed into a tent.

There was a young anorexic-looking (and not very pretty) girl not much older than us in a bathing suit sitting in a chair behind a fence, with several garter snakes lying on the floor next to her. We laughed and got out of there as quickly as possible. Daily Show--political equivalent of a carnival scam.
