Nothing should be banned. Banning one sets a bad precedent, then everyone will have lists of things to ban.

It's typical of a Faux News worshiper to try and get the name banned instead of trying to defend the right wing propaganda machine on it's own merits.

Actually, hadn't really noticed the FAUX NEWS thing 'til this thread.

But thanks for pointing it out, it fits perfectly...!

Just because your a fan of Fox News (OXYMORON) and it offends you, doesn't mean it should be said and there isn't evidence to back up the claim the joke makes.

I don't "worship" ANY TV station. I also watch CNN.

As many times as I've seen Bush criticized on Fox News when he was President, I always laugh at the "propaganda" claim!

The real oxymoron is MSNBC "news!"

People (including liberals) know that Fox News is just as credible a news station as CNN and MSNBC, but they rarely admit. That's why they make up names for that station.

Tell me again, which cable news station had 70% of its news stories about McCain negative and only 17% negative for Obama? It wasn't Fox News!

Certainly not. It would be a violation of the First Amendment to tell people what they can and cannot say or think.
