By the way, I never even pay attention to those TV's anyways and prefer to pick up a book to read.
CNN Headline is NOT biased. The others are either right (FOX) or left (MSNBC) biased.

Oh KevK,

Have a lil humor, my friend . Whenever I go to work and get a lunch or break, I usually go the McDonalds next door to get some nuggets or salad. And guess what? Fox News is on! I smile with joy every time because I know that my break or lunch will be filled with entertainment! Usually the time I take lunch or break, Doggie Beck is on the TV. As I savor the taste of those greasy nuggets and sugary pop, I laugh at the made up hysteria the man makes up. The look of his eyes, the whining, the crying of the evil liberals taking over, his barking (WOOF WOOF), his insanity! If anyone switched the channel, I would request them to change it back to Fox News there.

According to the President of Fox News, Fox News is not journalism, it is Editorial Opinion, and according to him, you are smart enough to understand that

I don't know ... I don't accept anything mainstream news says at face value, regardless of the channel.

And I don't attach myself to either side of the false left-right argument ... I just find the left side more disgusting purely from the standpoint of their overall hatred of good values, decency, and lack of common sense.

The so-called "conservatives" of today are just re-braded liberal scum, pretending to represent conservative views ... so I have little use for them as well, ... if that makes you feel any better?

I thought this was a juicy story. I thought the dentist cursed your nephew on his filthy dental habits. Nope, it's about "FOX Entertainment News"! Really, are you kidding me. Who are you to say, hey I want to turn the channel. You know how long it takes to find a good/great dentist? My handsome dentist play movies on his many flat screens. (no doubt, one is mine from my multiple appts) Next time, either bring something to read or ask your kid to take their own freakin child to the dentist.

Buff, problem solved!

MSNBC is a propaganda channel. Interesting that you left that little fact out. I rarely watch any of the talking heads. I get my news on the Internet from various sources. I have no problems with CNN because I don't watch it; even though it has a ubiquitous presence at airports.

I'm no fan of FOX, however, being exposed to it for 10 or 15 minutes is hardly going to scar me for life, and, it just may provide me with my laugh for the day
It won't scar you but it is offensive. It is like being forced to sit with people who don't bathe, smell bad and fart a lot.
