Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not) but isn't Fox and Friends on in the morning, way before 5 am?

There are thousands of articles on the story.

Fox won the case by saying that they do not have to tell the truth that they are entertainment.

Period.

What channel is Daily Kos on? I've never watched them (or been to their website, if that's what it is).

And I say the bias on Fox is so blatant that you'd have to have suffered from a lobotomy to not notice.

All it takes is one instance, and then they can do it all they want.

Fox News Boycott » lies

News Hounds: We watch FOX so you don't have to.

Fox's news programs echo its "opinion" shows: Smears, doctored videos, GOP talking points | Media Matters for America

TvNewsLIES.org - No Distractions, No Deceptions, No Diversions, No Delusions!

Just google "Fox news lies" and you'll get a plethora of information.

"How do you know you're top?"

"LA LA LA CAn't HEAR YOU I"m TOP TOP TOP. "

Runs away screaming, "TOP TOP TOPPITTY TOP TOP!!!"

It's a far-left internet blog. I mean they don't try and pretend to be balanced! They admit they are a liberal/progressive site!

If you just look at the news rating per day then the other news stations are way behind in viewers.......
I watch Fox "news" on occasion for the comic relief. After a long day, I can sit down and laugh my ass off.

Personal shout-out to Glenn Beck... Thanks for the funnies.

Anyone who listens to one news source, or another, because they don't like the "balance" on other programs is severely limiting themselves, and aren't working with an informed decision.

Personally, I take a "trust but verify" approach with most of the news I get, which is why I generally don't believe a lot of what I hear on Fox News. They take sound clips.

For instance,

They showed the other day that President Obama said that taxes would go up next year.

While he did say this, the whole thing of what he said was


YouTube - The intentionally misleading "news' from Fox News doesn't really get more obvious than this...

Watch it, learn it, know it.
