fox news is smart.

they know if they say the same thing over and over and over again, the dumbed down average person will begin to buy it. its subliminal brainwashing.

you know how these major companies have these trademark quotes that we repeat over and over again, thats subliminal brainwashing.

how many times has the typical idiot sang the give me that filet o fish, or said subway eat fresh. its been burned into that black hole you call a brain, and you buy it.

fox news fair and balanced is the same thing.

say it enough and youll convince the idiots.

thats not to say that fnc cant be watched and enjoyed. i watch oreilly every now and then and beck. but i take them as who they are, entertainers entertaining me.

they are the last people i would go to and try to learn something from or follow them.

As far as Fox doing something valid in this case, well, my daddy always said that even the sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while.

Or, is there simply too much chaos within this administration, the Gulf, and our economy to cover it all with the attention it deserves?

When was the last time we heard anything about Afghanistan or Iraq?
Give them a break, they cannot cover all of 0bama's failures at the same time, it would look like they were getting personal and beating on him out of some sort of bias.

God knows he needs all the help he can get. He should be grateful, even if it is Fox news.

Default Fauxbama on FOX

FOX does an excellent job of covering Obama's chronic failures, reversals, lies and golf game.

If only repubs watched FOX, Olberman would be them hands down in the ratings.

Could it be mainstream America is not headed in your direction and sees no merit in watching the Obama news propaganda machine on msnbc, cnn, abc, and cbs where the sun never sets on Obamaville?

You might want to prepare for the 11.6.12 election night when Obama is historically defeated by the largest margin in history. You will be bewildered and dazed, unable to understand how your belief system could possibly not be shared by a majority of voters. Your world will be turned upside down. You can catch the coverage on FOX.

I'll pray for your recovery.

They do not cover both sides of the news. Neither does Msnbc. Cnn comes close.

Every media outlet has an agenda to pursue- its called make money.

He's defensive rather than offensive. He's reactive instead of proactive. And he's very thin-skinned. These cracks reveal that Obama is not a true leader.

Barack Obama would give his left to be able to recapture the glory of 2008. The truth of the matter is that his own inexperience has revealed what us non-Obama voter's knew all along. I don't personally think Fox News is benefiting the President. His policies speak for themselves and will be judged accordingly in November.

Say it ain't so Joe!!!

Is fox fair and balanced? Hell no. They are the right wing MSNBC. However, I will say Fox dedicates more resources and capital into it's reporting, projects, journalism, and basic research while including contributers who have more individual credentials than the other news outlets combined.

Are they full of shyt a lot of the times, yes. However, if you have half a brain, it's vvery easy to sort through.

I also watch a combination of sources, and I will say the best thing Fox news does, is they don't walk on egg shells for minorities, they actually allow the majority a voice in a politically CORRECT context, which is unheard of anywhere else.

As unfortunate as it may be, but being a white male, that is really the only news outlet that truely represents our base. The others can **** off.
