Thank goodness for Fox News! Lame stream media is such a joke there are no longer words to describe the lies they perpetuate.
Gotta love that 'lame stream media' phrase. Sarah Palin made that one up, and it perfectly describes the organization that hired and fired her.

There was nothing more entertaining on election night 2012 than watching Fox news. it was the first time I ever saw a network's election announcers and commentators conduct a mini tribal war in full on-air display to the nation. The only thing we missed was blood on the floor.

Said a lot about fox, and none of it was good, but it wasn't unusual. In fact, it only proved how lame Fox actually is.

I don't like watching FOX News much because their views are always so negative, especially on Obama's presidency and unfairly so, damn depressing.

Obama's a prefect example of that.

The big networks can't be trusted. They only exist to push an agenda and sell ad space.

I didn't watch Fox that night. I rarely watch Fox though I self identify as conservative.

I did watch MSNBC though on election night in 2010. It was entertaining to watch Keith Olbermann take the Congressional seat losses in such a personal style. There wasn't a hint of journalism.

Every single news outlet out there has an agenda, and to think not, is stupidity and ingorance on behalf of that thinking.

Every last one is out for themself. They tell the truth, stretch the truth, and they all equally lie. They are each about ratings, all of them and to not think so, is naive.

They all have good points and they all equally have the bad, and when it is bad it is bad.

Not one is supeior or worse then the next. No i watch from time to time at least on fox, they do have different points of view, not every guest or speakers think the same way. Some things i agree with some things i don't does not make them better or worse then the other worse one out there MSNBC!

You don't know what you're talking about.

My cable provider (Cox) provides CNN (42), MSNBC (43), Fox News (44). No extra cost.
