#2 Posted: 3/21/2012 12:22:11 PM Ha Ha, I have a few friends who used to tout Fox as real news. However, the internet is loaded with clips like this pointing out that this isn't "News".
But they sure have a lot of viewers, proving that it is not news, it's a business. They report what their viewers want to see. |

So the joke is on you.

#6 Posted: 3/21/2012 1:14:17 PM Dirt, I know many Conservatives who don't watch Hannity anymore. He's been caught editing video to make it look bad, he's been caught in so many lies, that even Conservatives who stand for the truth turn him off.
His former partner, Alan Colmes, was just as bad for truth-seeking liberals too. Fox makes money by giving the audience what they want to see. |

Both of my left wing loone friends, and I only have two, say they both watch O'Riley, and Greta, but will not watch Sean Hannity.
Media matters and george soros would like Fox News gone.

#9 Posted: 3/21/2012 3:28:28 PM If Soros bought Fox News, he probably wouldn't change the format. Money before ideals.
It's kind of interesting that you say Fox has "Talented" people and then say the Fox News Girls are "Smokin Hot". Do you think they were hired for their brains?
There have been times when I've thought C Wallace was a fair journalist. But he really blew it when he described the GOP race last summer excluding Ron Paul who was near the top at the time. He didn't even mention his name. CNN and MSNBC almost announce the exact same script as Wallace did. The all used "Top Tier" in their wording. Coincidence?
While Fox makes liberals squirm, they ARE there for a reason, to make money. MSNBC isn't so honest with the facts and loyalties themselves. It's a sad state of affairs when they call these channels "Cable TV News". |

If you point out the woes of FOX News without pointing out the woes of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, etc then you lose all credibility.
How many times has someone posted a video criticizing FOX News by using Jon Stewart video from the Daily Show? Why don't they just use the video from FOX?
Also, read the poster's comments where he refers the viewers to Media Matters for more info on FOX News. |

Democrats are going to make the election about FOX News, Rush, and Newt's ex-wife.
In November we'll find out who has the winning formula. |

FOX News, Palin, Haliburton, Racists, Rush, Fascists, Koch Brothers.
If you see these words while discussing politics then disregard everything else that follows. |

i agree, but i don't watch any of those channels (except sometimes the nbc nightly news which is garbage), nor do i watch jon stewart, but i have some friends who do so i can only post what they send me. in my defense, i post stupid democrat garbage when i see it, like the hank johnson guam comment, cynthia mckinney stuff, etc.

The problem is the people who are following politics and worship today’s Republican Party are already morons to begin with. Then they watch Fox News and told their moronic thoughts are correct and are given a false reality. When someone stupid is telling someone they are smart then they don’t realize they are a moron. It’s a constant circle jerk of idiocracy.

Really? Cause I think the same way about alot of people from the left. Not all but alot.
I think you paint with a broad brush saying any person who worship the R's. Thats your oppinion but I think there are a few intelligent liberals scattered amongst the sheep.
Anybody that believes that gun laws will put a big dent in gun crimes is friggin banannas.
Anybody in line to collect Obama money, yep batty.
Anybody that really believes in the 'trickle up' economy, you guessed it...fruity.
Too bad you can't give legit credit to at least some smart conservatives. You'd certainly have more credibility that way.
What should I have expected from the guy that thinks the Arena Football League is just a good marketing plan away from being a solid league.
Lemme tell you somthing pumkin....don't matter what you do with the AFL it isn't gonna get people to watch it on TV in droves. NO WAY.

I will give credit to Geraldo Rivera and John Stossel. They are the only people on the Fox News channel that actually have brains.
Like I said…I am 100 percent sure that the Sunday following the Super Bowl if Fox put up an arena league schedule. Made it Fox AFL Sunday, NBC had AFL Sunday night football, ESPN had AFL Monday night football and all the same markets as the NFL had a team to cheer for and were put on TV that it would work.
They also need to create AFL live, AFL match up, Inside the AFL, and AFL countdown shows and put the AFL on fox, ABC, NBC, CBS, and ESPN every week and get casinos to advertise and get the sports gambling world more interested in the AFL product. It sounds like to me it is a marketing problem. Without exposure and a story line to follow, it’s hard to follow.
What do I know right… I’m just a die hard degenerate sports fan. What do I know right… nothing I just said makes any sense?

I like football too but it just doesn't translate well to tv for me. I sometimes play madden online to get my football fix. |

#25 Posted: 3/22/2012 12:46:38 AM A group of handicappers were asked these questions: When asked what would be the Over/Under on liberals making
references to FOX News before the upcoming election. The Over/Under was set at
872. When asked what would be the Over/Under on conservatives
making references to MSNBC before the upcoming election. The experts responded “What
is MSNBC?” |
