They actually know less then people who don't watch news programs at all.



Some News Leaves People Knowing Less

Kind of sad for Fox News
AKA, if they watch FOX they know less than a person who spends all his time in a cave. Too funny.

I don't get my news from Fox, I only go to Fox for actual video feed so I can draw my own conclusions. Maybe that's why I'm mis-informed, I can think for myself. And I don't necessarily agree with CNN or XYZ, who through their own lack of investigation may be less informed than the rest of us.

Oh yeah, there's a petition earlier in the thread to have her try a dose

I think Ann Coulter takes the cake now though, as a frequent guest on many Fox shows. Her hate almost makes the stupidity pale in comparison, such as on OWS "Remember the lesson from my book: It just took a few shootings at Kent State to shut that down for good."

Precisely my experience. I was once drinking the Cool Ade as a conservative Republican, but saw the light. Boy, was I mislead, only exposing myself to conservative media.

According to Wikipedia:

"The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis."

It does come from food.

To be fair, the Fox females have improved a lot. They used to look like dumb trainee hookers. Now they are, unfortunately, still not so bright, still try to be eye candy, but don't look as cheap and tawdry - Greta, for some reason, never felt the need to tart herself up to get a job there.

I could never picture a Christiane Amanpour or Candy Crowley on Fox, and I consider them much better informed and less biased than the Fox chicks.

The only 'problem' Fox News viewers have is the unassailable fact that the liberal networks are constantly covering up for this President's incompetence, as well as giving him a free ride by not investigating and/or ignoring his sleazy associates during the 2008 campaign.

Fox News has no 'sacred cows' a la the liberal press, and both entities prove it every single day.

The liberal press obviously cannot stand the fact that they're not the nation's only source for news; watching folks like Schieffer, Stephanapolous & other downright hypocritical liberal blowhards getting demolished on national TV too many times to count is always a thing of beauty and a joy to behold.

Obama is not getting the support from the masses that he did. People expected him to not sell out to industry, but he did anyway. Both parties put up candidates who are essentially tools for business interests.

We should have had an equal time amendment, which would not necessarily KEEP them honest, but at least prevent the media on both sides from straying too far. I find it interesting that NEITHER SIDE, in the media, wanted the amendment, so they both continue to propagandize and it is also easier to stifle other views out there that may not be as polarizing.

So long as the mega business interests can have us fighting among ourselves, they can do pretty much what they want. Think about it: the loss of jobs to foriegn interests, this financial crisis - the two major crises that affect EVERY American right now, and neither side is doing anything SERIOUS about them. Tools.
