Even without the op-ed programs, Fox "News" is completely ridiculous. Bringing up an example from another network does not take away the fact that Fox "News" is slanted drivel brought to us by the Bush Broadcasting Company. (With apologies to the BBC, a credible news source.)

I don't know. Some "news" bs that had some of the most RIDICULOUS pieces that were supposedly "news". Do people actually watch this and believe it?

Yes. Lots of people. I think they have a larger viewership than CNN.

Here's a dose of Fox smearing Obama

Fox news: the network of lies, half-truths, and innuendo.

It's up to all patriotic Americans to do our part.

Yes, I can

If that's what the general populace is watching, I am not surprised that people are as dumb as they are. What drivel, what stupidity, what soap opera smear!

CBS - the network of forged documents days prior to an election.

MSNBC - the network of demoted yet completely unbiased Olberman and Matthews.

NBC - the network that faked the explosions of Ford Explorers (or some other SUV) and aired footage of created explosions and claimed them to real.

ABCs Good Morning America reported that Michelle Obama had used the term " whitey " in a speech.

There are example of other media outlets reporting on Palin's baby not being hers, but in fact it belonging to her daughter.

Examples are endless.

I agree that Fox has grossly mishandled this story. It is even probably intentional on behalf of several of the people on the network. Hear me when I say I am in complete agreement that this story is wrong and done to politically damage Obama. However, please do not pretend that Fox is the only organization that does such things.

Fox just seems to be the most egregious in reporting what they would like to be true. Watching the same story on different networks is quite enlightening (provided I can stomach live "news" coverage at all).

Again, citing other examples from other networks doesn't make what Fox "News" does okay. Without bringing up other networks, do you really think Fox "News" is a credible news source?

Fox News has some of the worst comments in their banners that show underneath and all around the screen. It is absolutely ridiculous.
