At least CNN is in the South!
"Media" is short for "liberal" media.

Of course they are, but I've tried all 3 of the news cable channels myself and I like Fox the best. They really are the most fair. You might laugh, but this coming from a reformed Democrat. I've always thought they did the best job of just reporting the news. Sure they have the patriotic slant that turns certain people off but I like it myself. What is wrong with being positive on America?

Liberals are essentially a form of communists and they have always been the enemy for me. I was raised to believe communists were our enemy and I still believe that. Fox calls them out for what they are.

I'm not American but I sometimes watch Fox News. They make me laugh.

I find it funny how Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity talk loudly over people they disagree with. They always get pissed off really easily by the liberal guests.

Actually O'Reilly is pretty fair until he loses respect for what they are saying. He's a very intelligent guy. He has 4 or 5 best selling books now as well as being the top rated program on cable news.

FOX is just trying to set themselves apart from the liberal media. Sure, they're biased towards the right, but I'd rather hear a positive spin than the doom and gloom the other channels give you.

Also, some of the personalities on the other channels just give me the creeps. Wolf Blitzer looks like the funny uncle nobody wants at family gatherings and Chris Mathews is the guy that farts at the dinner table and laughs about it.

When I do watch I feel like I am watching a comedy show, an SNL skit or something. They are also very disrespectful to their 'guests,' it's like they invite them only to 'put them in their place.' It's not news, more like a dark entertainment show.

It has made people so overly paranoid and angry. The media is dangerous.

It's an entertainment show where he keeps up the drama for ratings. Obviously he is a smart guy, it has worked.

Have you seen the interviews he's done with Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins? Hilarious.

Exactly, it isnt the claim of being liberal itself, it is his support for certain people or ideas that are no where near liberal.
