Anyone watch Fox News?

Today in particular. It was on at work today and I was lucky enough to catch this live:


Ernie Borgnine! Funniest old dude ever.

I make sure I catch Fox news before I climb into my humvee and
shoot a round of 18 at the private course.

I prefer the news paper... but the mechanics I work with watch it and this was the funniest live TV moment I've seen in a while.

I don't understand this criticism of Fox News. Most of the time they cover news just like any other station. Yeah, they have shows on with people like O'Reilly and Hannity that have a conservative bias, but what about all those shows on other networks with a liberal bias? It doesn't bother me, because those shows are all about people's opinions most of the time, and you know what they say about opinions...

Don't you mean Faux News? Har har har.

In all seriousness, Fox News is so biased and full of lies that it's hard to derive any actual information from it. The best way to describe them is commentary on the news- racist, prejudiced, and biased commentary. They are in no way actual news.

The other day they referred to Paul Fromm (a white supremacist, holocaust denier and anti-semite) as a "free speech activist." And just watch this:



"12 Year Old Girl Tells the Truth on Fox News about Georgia. Fox News even had to cut them off right in the middle of the account of Georgian aggression even though they had just come from a commercial break 2 minutes prior to that."

But I digress. I know this isn't what this thread is about, and I don't intend to cause any fights- but Fox is a lying pile of sh*t and the public is becoming to rely on them for news more than other sources, and that's terrible. People need to be educated.

Yes, and watch the other network news that doesn't have biases on the other end of the spectrum.

I say watch Fox and MSNBC knowing Fox is ultra-Conservative and that MSNBC is ultra-progressive and find the truth in the middle.

I love how they try to cover and act like it's all ok by laughing. Their forced he-he's are funny. And then of course the "let's take a break." You know when they go to break they all stop laughing and exlain to him "we're live" blah blah blah
