Don't ban it----with uncanny accuracy it quickly and conveniently exposes the users as possibly leftists, liberals, socialists, bleeding-hearts, unpatriotic, 'progressives', lemmings, entitlement-minded, anti-capitalist, soft on crime, judicial activists, military disdaining, wealth-redistributionist, pro-abortion, christian hating, politically correct, tax loving, amnesty bribing, big government proponents, activists, and apologists.



Just kidding.....I meant "probably" not "possibly"

Ha! I know quite a few Fox viewers and sadly that's the ONLY news they'll watch. Which is fine - but hardly balanced. They like to get all riled up watching Glenn Beck and his fellow Carny Barkers and are mostly very misinformed on current affairs.

Carny barkers is absolutely right.

When they stop feeding their poor followers faux news they wont be called Faux News anymore.

No. I don't like the idea of "banning" words...you can't do it btw but even talking about it is stupid. Besides, it's good to let people say what they want, it help you to identify the idiots.

Please remember that Fox News declared in open court that is not a news program and that, as self declared entertainment, it can say anything it wants to gain ratings and advertizing revenue. They do not broadcast actual news but a much more attractive, simplified and entertaining version properly called FAUX NEWS.

FAUX NEWS is pronounced Fox News because very few of the viewers know enough French to pronounce Faux properly. In any case it still means false.

Boy, leave this forum for a couple of months and this soap opera still continues.
How's it working out for you Fox bashers? Has Fox dropped to the bottom in ratings yet? Has it even dropped to third? I guess people are voting with their remotes instead of participating in partisan attacking... Personally I've shut off the news for the last month or more and actually am much happier. I did take a short look the other day and noticed it was same old same old and so turned it off again.
Best thing I ever did next to getting ready to vote out ANY incumbent party next year.
