It seems to be the rallying cry for those that swing left.
I find Fox News as full of it as any of the other "news" channels, yet they seems to draw liberal critisizm like moths to a flame.

Same blame game, different target?

Fox News does draw more viewers and has had ratings increases like no other and has cornered the market on newsbabes.
I give Kucinich credit for engaging them at every opportunity. He has the gonads to at least face his detractors.

Edwards, Clinton, and Obama?
No nads.

Fox News is a cartoon. The "babes" look like cartoon characters of hookers.

How can you expect anybody to take Fox News seriously when it is obviously trying to be a cartoon?

Hookers? LOL!
Maybe you prefer women in burkas or greasy granola eaters with hairy legs that are stuck in the 60's hippy look.
To each his own.

Megan Kelly is smokin.
It's a scientific fact.

Fox news is like some kind of parody.

I don't believe SNL could do a better skit of a "news" channel.

Just another tragic example of the American media going down the toilet, but at least the girls are pretty. laugh


"Yeehaw" is not a foreign policy!

The reason sane, intelligent people stay away from Fox is explained by Jesus: Do not cast pearls before swine, lest they be trod usunder.

I think Olberman is the fastest growing show of it's kind. Still far from Fox News, but that will change as people become more enlightened.

Fair and Balanced..

A few months ago I found a site that acutally neasured FAUX news reporting. Using a simple stop-watch they timed the moving Lips.

Liberals got 32%
Conservatives 68%

They showed Liberal quests correcting Suan Hannity`s facts. 10 minutes later Hannity has no problem repeating the same Disinformation. I guess they just read the script like they are told..

If Fox News has the "nads", how's come they're scared of Ron Paul (10% in IA), but not The Ghoul (3% in IA)?

Fox News is populated by cowards and chickenhawks. Bill O'Reilly can come to my door and I will engage in fisticuffs with the blowhard (this was inspired by O'Reilly making some veiled reference to violence that he had contemplated against an Obama supporter).

Ron Paul is a sideshow.
Rudy is betting on Fla. and the bigger states.
Bad idea IMO. Biggest blunder of any campaign going.
Fox will go with what sells, just like any other station covering the primaries. The freak show candidates are entertainment for now.

Slab, the sideshow of Ron Paul just came in fourth in Michigan, behind Romney, McCain & Huckleberry.

If Fox News is chicken to have Ron Paul because he opposes the occupation of foreign lands, maybe Fox News ought to admit that rather than claiming to set the standards for an organization for which they themselves say they have no affiliation (the GOP).

Brent,

Thats like saying Kucinich came in second behind Clinton.
Dayum, he could win!

Even with Gulliani and Thompson as no shows, Paul draws about 6%. He placed last of the people that participated.
