So, you don't see any difference between calling a public entity or people by nicknames?

But name calling is for children and if the children here want to use it, I say go ahead. Some posters clearly have no real communication skills and need to resort to name calling to try to support their views.
I'm sure you feel the same way about those who call supporters of the president "Obamatrons" - I see you standing up for them as well.

Excellent news.

Should That Stupid Phrase "Faux News" Be Banned From This Site?

No, I find the moniker to be amusing. I find Faux as a better news source than other television sources but don't rely on their news exclusively. And I FAR prefer Faux Biz news over any other.

Finally, it serves as a reminder that some news sources may be left but NO news source is right all the time.

Maybe. But it's not above the talking heads pay grade.

Why wouldn't its useage fall under the label of trollling?

It is done simply to annoy,supposedly that is why a few threads have been locked when discussing Obama....

Surely there isn't a political bias at play here??????????

Has Nobama been banned?

Nope.

When someone starts a thread with intent to start a flame war, it's locked, regardless of what "side" it's on.

Really?

Could you provide a leftist thread that has been locked for trolling?

Voted "Yes" by mistake, I really wanted to vote "No"

Anyways, I don't have a problem with "FOX" part, but its ridiculous they call that stupid thing as "News".

Although I'm not on board with that phrase and think that Fox is a viable news source I vote no.
