Fox News is the most inaccurate reporting agency of any network in history. The constant stream of lies and vitriol promoted by the network has found an audience of misinformed, closed minded and spineless individuals whom do not dare demanded that Fox News be more responsible in reporting and apologize when they are wrong. The viewers of Fox News have no idea what "fair and balanced" in broadcasting means.
Fox News mis-reports or slants nearly everything except in cases where the line of racial divide is thinnest to the point of violence, with no regard to how it may affect others in our society. Every network has a right to speak its mind or slant conservative or liberal but they also have a responsibility to be honest. When they are wrong, Fox viewers never demand they admit it and say or do nothing to see that it does not happen again. Fox News reports lies and distortions daily to a segment of our society that separatists, for the most part as well as selfish in their beliefs that this Country only belongs only to them and they do not seem to mind that Fox News lie and misrepresent the news and they are powerless to do anything to change it.
By broadcasting to such a wide range of small minded, and cowardly tea-bagging individuals who will believe anything "because its on FOX News so it must be true." In my opinion, these are the ones that are simply to stupid to lazy to even begin to think for themselves. Fox News and its divisive tactics have nearly alienated both black and Hispanic viewers for the disrespect shown this President openly allowing a commentator to call him a Racist and never once asked that he apologize.
Fox News constantly gets called on the carpet by every other News organization. How can the producers even allow such unchecked information be aired nationally. Have you ever taken 10 minutes to read the Fox Ticker? I watched it for months, and I had to actually record Fox News just so I can count the number of mispellings in the ticker tape on the bottom of the screen. Would'nt you think if the viewers actually took time to read, they would have done something, anything, even just turn the station. I counted 22 spelling errors in a 3 hour time period. If they cannot spell, how can they research or even report.
This must mean that their audience is either too busy and are extremely bright individuals whom try to peep under the skirt of the hostess who hikes it up an inch everyday, who really see a difference in their lives based on real policy unfolding in Washington. Or and a much larger group of Budwiser drinking, blue collar, race baiters who barley has a bachelors degree or a long forgotten high school education, who sees and does what Glen beck tells them to. Such as Death camps and Social Engineering or just pure hatred for white people by the mixed race, ACORN Administration.
They have contributed to so many deaths and volitile situations that it should be sanctioned by by the FCC. Color of Change going after one of or two of the host is not enough. The entire network if rotten and the viewers are the dumbest this country could produce. Not all of them are brain-dead, but none are responsible enough to demand truth and that they answer charges of misreporting and blatant lies every single day.
The actions of Fox News will cause a prominent death and the network will be shut down and rioters will take over their offices and some anchors will become targets themselves if they refuse its responsibility to the public to report honestly, they do not have to be fair or balanced. Although, their viewers will still be in the dark and not care as long as they have teabags and Glen Beck, who nearly became Howard Cosell its funny.
Their viewers will remain shortsighted and selfish, not conservative. They don't need to fear the that the America they grew up in will not be here, they are just to stupid to know that won't be simply because it can't. This is the same argument our parents had. It stopped nothing. They need to understand that and not let the Glen Becks and Rush Limbaughs of the world make up their minds for them like conservative sheep.

okay with you, but helping other Americans... oh hell no.
So true! There is perversion of priority in this country. It's called 'not using your own noggin for once' and not voting with your pocketbook.
