How is it Fox is constantly cited for giving false info??? Also what other NEWS station has been sued for firing its own employees for unwillingness to lie on a subject? Perhaps you should look into it.

Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld - FOXNews.com

LOL....
expecting the leftist mind to be capable of making that simple distinction is equivalent to expecting a new world trade center to self-assemble from sand and iron ore. not gonna happen.

nevertheless, that was a tasteless thing for him to say and i'm glad he apologized, even though he was clearly joking. that's more the sort of thing you'd expect to hear fox news-obsessed liberals say about the US military.

Kinda like Fox huh? You can deny it, but you are simply looking to ignore the things that don't suport your beliefs...just like those Rs and Ds that you seem to think you're above.

You just don't get it do you? The difference is, Fox has guests on to give their side--the opposing side. A written article does not.

If you think they allow the otherside of the argument to make a real case then you're the one that doesn't get it.

Do you watch FOX news or are you just a critic with second hand info?

I'll shed some light here. In the words of the immortal Samuel L Clemens; In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are, in almost every case, gotten at second hand and without examination.

I'm guessing you're right on, allydriver.
