No, they know there are a lot of viewers who don't know the difference. They purposefully make it confusing. Every show has a "FOX NEWS" logo on the bottom corner. Why is it called "FOX news" if it's not news? Why say "fair and balanced" when it's editorial? Because people will think it's the whole truth when it's really skewed in favor of the ultra-rich right who pay for it. It is a propaganda tool that gets so many people to vote against their own interests.
What about CNN? Cable NEWS Network.
Why call it "news" if it's not always news by commentary?
But there aren't 1 or 2 other stations similar to Fox. That is why that station is attacked so much, because it's not a leftist news station.

Those who use Think Progress as their source of information about anything other than progressive (liberal) crap should think a bit more than I think they do. Think Progress was created for one purpose, and that is to take Fox down along with others who aren't progressive.
What's most interesting to me about this string and other's like it are the contrasts.
There are constant and never ending referrals to "the liberal media" and/or "liberal bias" but there is never, Never, NEVER any examples given - NONE E V E R!
On the other hand examples of FOX distortions are easy and plentiful!
I could care less about what most Americans think of Fox News...but the fact that President Obama and his thug administration are so angered by it, speaks volumes to his character, or lack thereof.
Sigh...yet another individual with his brain tied into a Gordian knot over his dislike of the current administration...
All this 'we're angry and we want our country back' malarkey is frankly getting on my nerves...as is the inference that anybody who supports the President is a 'Commie leftie socialist ******* terrorist', to compile a few of the more colorful epithets being bandied about lately...
Again, to me anyway, it's anger from everybody not lining up to kiss their hindparts quick enough and acknowledge that 'we're gonna pull a magic wand out of our hineys in 2012, wave it in the air while we shout "pastafazoolamichacaboolabibbidybobbidyboo!" and magically save the USA from all you dirty Commie loving lefties, by gosh!'
Please spare us all the hot-air and chest beating, as it continues to be patently annoying and utterly pointless...and by the way (forgive me Fleet) we'll utter any negatives about Fox News we feel like, thank you very much

I agree and find the hypocrisy of defending FOX News on the basis of free speech, all the while bashing MSNBC hilarious. If we don't allow bullies to take our lunch money and defend ourselves, we are ******* commies but it's no surprise. That's how bullies roll. The make up reasons for the bullying as they go along. Obama was not born here, he is trying to take away our rights, he is a socialist, and one of my personal favorites, he is arrogant for putting his feet on the desk in his office.
I don't like Fox news, so I don't watch it, except for the times when I want some good laughs.
(edit: I feel the same way about M$NBC and CNN...these channels seem like "news-tainment" and opinion channels. I just want the facts, so I prefer not to watch these channels.)
