Only Fox broke these stories. But that's "comedy"

Sorry. Nobody believes you. There is a reason that Fox is #1!
Couldn't it also be said that there are stories out there that Fox never talked about because it goes against their ideological views or made one of theirs look bad?

I'm sure all organizations have that. What stories and news are you talking about?

Beck: McCain Would've Been Worse - CBS News Video


I have said this stuff before, that Beck is in it for the money. I used to listen to him 7-8 years ago, before he got famous. His show used to come on before Rush's in the morning and it was hilarious. He was center a moderate with conservative fiscal values and liberal social values. The guy i watch on Fox is not the same guy i used to laugh my butt off to in the morning. I wish i had a few copies of those old tapes. He did a hilarious parody commercial making fun of the current Priest Scandal in Boston (if you remember this in 2000.) It was like South Park on the radio listening to his station. He would make fun of everyone on the left and the right. It was great entertainment. However, i do not like that he is engaging in selling hate, but i do not blame him for going for the money. It is what is popular now, so more power to him.

But Libs have no problem with him.

Libs had no problem with Beck when he was on CNN.

Could it be that Beck is on FOX more than what he is saying?????
Fox is NOT NEWS

His comment isn't really that surprising. As usual, the American people were forced to choose from two lousy candidates.

Did you ever see the movie "The Last Supper"? Cameron Diaz was in it, 1995. Anyway, it was about a bunch of liberal friends who get this idea to invite radical right-wing people over for dinner & they end up poisoning each of them thru the course of many dinners. The last guest they had was a total jacka*s political right-wing commentator. During the dinner, he convinced them that what he was doing was just a game, it was about money, he didn't actually believe the things he said. Turns out, he was worse than all of the people they killed. I highly recommend the movie.

I didn't even know who Glen Beck was when he was on CNN< I dont watch any TV, I know about Fox News though and know what traitors they are to America, and I have seen it enough and see videos enough of it on youtube to see what traitors to America they are

Fox is comedy because they LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH to people like you who repeat it as fact.
