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.)

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

Here's a dose of Fox smearing Obama

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!

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

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.

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.

Faux news pushes the envelope for bad, bad, bad journalism. It's no wonder they love Palin. None of the network or cable news shows are blameless, but Faux is so blatantly biased (not to mention staffed by a bunch of snarky nimrods) that it boggles the mind. It's the Enquirer of the news world. If one has to reach as far back to the CBS debacle, then I'd say they were doing pretty well. That was probably several thousand misleading and deliberately misreported Faux stories ago. Good thing about Faux, though- you don't have to open up your mind to watch. You don't have to think at all.

News is supposed to be "event X happened at this time at this location". It's all analysis now. It all sucks. It's all this expert or that expert or whomever telling us what they think. You don't have to think watching any of them. They all try to tell you what to think.
