Nah, it's the reason we like her. Better the devil you know sort of thing. Besides, where do you think she learned that behavior?

There are plenty of stories criticizing Bush on that network. And commentators likes Hannity and O'Reilly have criticized Bush many, many times during the last 7 years.

Not to mention the many guests, both Republican and Democratic, who are certainly not Bush supporters.
Fox News is a joke. In the past they've misidentified disgraced Republicans Mark Foley and Larry Craig as Democrats.

In fact just recently, they even identified John McCain as a Democrat.

Clinton Campaign Denies Pursuing Obama's Pledged Delegates - Horserace

Quote:
Clinton spokesman Phil Singer sent an email stating, "We have not, are not and will not pursue the pledged delegates of Barack Obama."

The statement also included this sentence: "It's now time for the Obama campaign to be clear about their intentions."
So what you saying, huh? huh? You wanna make something of it?

This is so childish. I guess if we aren't going to have an election based on the issues of gay marriage or abortion, we'll just all argue about what each other said and when. Somebody poke McCain with a stick. The Republicans should be taking full advantage of this infighting to bring them both down.

FAUX has given Bush a pass for years, especially in 2004. They've finally stopped completely washing his undercarriage, but it's a little late.

Let me know the last and next times the BBC spews false information like FAUX does.

That "movie" or whatever you call it is full of inaccuracies. Do you actually believe it?
For instance, when they were referring to employees, it was actually employees of Fox, not Fox News.

Not according to actual studies which show Fox News to be no more biased than the other stations...

LOL. The BBC is so anti-American it's not even funny.

What is the "false information" that FOX NEWS "spew?"

Look in the lower left-hand corner.

The results are as stated by FOX News.

FOX News has the worst track record in correctly informing its patrons.
