Your of course are correct. I do flip on the stations once in a while but man they are all just nuts. I do like the FOX girls they have nice legs. LOL. I mean that is about it though. They don't put out news they put out BS all of em. I'm watching the grand leader right now who looks like he doesn't even care about anything...........he doesn't care just wants his free vacation time. He is not a leader but a clown. Man can't even function without his talking points.........

Just sad is all it is.

With Fox it's lie, after lie, after lie. Yet many conservatives lap up these lies like a dog lapping up antifreeze.

If you look on factcheck at Fox news compared to MSNBC on the amount of "lies" or stretches, I'd would say it's about 50/50. The fact that any opinionated television show is given complete freedom to pass off their agendas as "news", and as long as the consumer public continues to support such filth, they will do/say/act as they want to. Stop buying the stuff advertised on Fox News if you don't like what they are saying.

Liberals just don't like Fox because it points out things about the administration and the President that they don't want highlighted. Just like liberals don't like conservatives because their viewpoints are different, and just as Obama appears to have his cronies go after people and organizations who hold views opposed to his.

In this land of free speech, they'd like to restrict it to what *they* approve of.

Last night, I heard the best monologue Hannity has ever made on the state of affairs.

is this any different than liberal media outlets jumping on the "rich white man leaves no tip and racial slur on receipt" stories?

Nope, whatever fits into "their" view of the U.S. is the truth.

and all those stories turn out to be lies. how about the fictional story of the KFC that asked a girl to leave because her face was deformed by a dog attack. everyone is jumping on the anti-fast food bandwagon. I jumped on that long ago, but for my own reasons.

I actually enjoy going directly to farms to get my food. interacting with the farmers, and knowing where my food comes from. I also find that you get better deals cutting out the middle man, and it's a more pleasant experience overall.

I automatically turn to Fox News when something serious is going on. It's a bit like turning on a channel called, The Onion. Pure bs. Some of the actors that work as anchors there must have to take one hell of a serious shower when they get home from the station.
