I prefer Americans set their own destiny.

Not follow the corrupt destiny of world economics.

Not waiting for anything on the subject actually.. If I cared as much I'd turn my tv on.

Its nice to know though that you had news on 24 hours a day during the last 8 years of the Bush term and paid attention to every breath he made as well.

FOX viewers have no interest in what is actually happening in the world. They only want to hear what makes them feel better. Apparently baseless fear, makes them feel better. I never understood why.

How would you even know that they weren't covering it, because you don't watch it , because it is worthless..........right? Or were you at the same racist dentist that kevk goes to? Or are you just another liberal that watches it so you can be offended so you can post a thread about it on city data ? Me thinks the latter..........

Sure it is.. If you cant get our allies interested enough to show up because they dont consider it important, then why do you expect america to hold our breath waiting for every last word of Obamas..

you can stay uninformed and get your information second-hand for as long as you live; that's not a problem for me.

In my opinion your opinion of what constitutes news is of no real value.

Not because you are not a good person (I don’t know you so I will give you the benefit of the doubt) but because you do not represent the viewing public at large nor do you represent the specific audience Fox News in particular is seeking.

Making an issue about this is simply more liberal diatribe that centers on an Alinsky-esk demonization of something liberals perceive as an enemy.

It is not rational nor is it valid. It is simply an attempt to discredit by any means necessary.

So what, if you wanted to see it and it is on another channel switch it..Otherwise it isn't worth mentioning on this or any post.
