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!
Your coming across a little childish here, are you currently on the floor kicking and beating the ground with your fists??

Posting facts is "childish?"

Why should I kick the floor and beat the ground... Fox News kills CNN and MSNBC in the ratings. Now if Fox News was in 3rd place and losing viewers (you know, like MSNBC is) then you may have a point.

Uh-oh. A moderator of this site violated the First Amendment! I'm referring to another thread which began "Faux News..." and the moderator (correctly, I think) changed it to "Fox News" to avoid flaming.

Also, I don't think the First Amendment applies to Internet forums!

This site is crawling with liberals. Naturally the poll will come out as it has. The left "attacks" anything that is not good for their cause. Name calling, lying,etc., is all part of their agenda. It's best to ignore it as we all know "Faux News" is #1 cable news.

They make a viable point and state the facts and you attack. I didn't see any "floor kicking" comments. Just straight STATISTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is with you people? Can't you get your opinion across without the name calling and attacking?

Well, we could replace the "O" in Fox with a "U" ... clever AND succinct.

Really? And your proof of this? And you are fine with the references to Obama that are less than adoring?

Statements such as you just made only show your bigotry.
