I will never understand the fascination the libs have with knocking FOX. I feel the same with their never ending hate for Bush and their addiction to blasting Palin at every corner.

They say they do not fear FOX or the right wing, but something is going on, for them to never let it drop...

I don't watch it, either. I do, however, watch Fox News.

True. Therefore, it's in their best interest to generate those controversies as well.

Take the manufactured outrage over the poll numbers a few people started threads about a couple of days ago. There was no basis for the hubbub, yet here you all were, yacking it up.

Good little sheep.

Because even the more liberal slanted channels aren't nearly as ignorant and fear mongering as Faux News. Like I said, they're about half a step above a TV tabloid. NONE of the "liberal" channels are like that.

I do wonder how anyone can put much faith into "Huffington Post" or the NY Times" but I don't say people who watch them are all dumb, ignorant, uninformed nor do I say the same about those who represent them...
Really, did you just compare the New York Times to Faux News?

Holy ****.

This is back to the liberals that seem to think they need to blast to get their views known..
I just look at it as treating Faux News and their viewers as the idiots they are.

You'll never see me make any apologies for that.

If I point out stupid things someone does it doesn't mean I fear them. Most that watch Fox have closed their minds, they just watch so that their uneducated, uninformed ideas are continually validated. A Fox news person admits manipulating them but who cares, that's why they watch it. Fox puts out fake pictures of the D.C. Tea Party and these knuckleheads applaud. They do it again at the Palin book signing and the Fox fans applaud again. That I find fasinating.

Are you saying CBS and Dan Rather deliberately misled viewers, and thus they're somehow on a par with Faux?

Do what you can to prove that one.

I don't know because I've not heard of a news station called "faux."

I do know that the Dan Rathergate is a far bigger scandal than anything that can be posted on youtube about Fox News.

I've only heard of the New York Slimes, not the other one you mentioned.

I do know that the New York Slimes is far, far to the left. It's so obvious.
