Look it’s Fox News not looking crazy here for once yeah.
Its almost a fad to hate on Fox News despite the fact that they are just fair as any other news channel...with the exception of MSNBC because those guys are obviously biased.
On topic; These groups have the same rights as anybody else. Any person who truly believes in the freedom of speech or religion should protect the rights of everybody especially those you disagree with. Despite being a hard line Atheist, I would still protect their rights...no matter how much I disagreed with them or how unbelievably disgusting I find their rhetoric.
I fail to detect sarcasm nine times out of ten, so tell me that was just my mistake, or did you just claim that MSNBC was biased but FOX isn't? Because from where I'm standing they are both the top biased networks of their respected political spectrum. <.<
Anyway, I agree. They are well within their rights. I don't like their attitude and I think they are a disgrace to human society, but it's their right to be so disgraceful. XD
Yes, Fox is a little biased but, it is no where near as biased as MSNBC. People on MSNBC have shown their cult like following of Obama. One commentator or reporter (I forget which) actually compared Obama to God. Even I felt sympathetic (and offended) for Christians or any religion that refers to a single "God".
I watch/listen just about every news channel from NPR (national Public Radio) BBC, CBC (when I'm close enough to get a signal), Fox News, CNN, CNN-HLN (Headline News). I figured if I take in as much information as possible then I can filter out the lies from the truth (like sifting Gold from silt in a river bed). A lot of people who hate Fox News never actually watch the channel for more than one minute. I disagree with O'Reilly some times but, the man does speak the truth on a lot of issues. He's one of the main reasons that Jessica's law was passed and that child molesters are punished for their crime and not just given a slap on the wrist for damaging a girls life forever. Neil Cavuto talks about economics and his discussions are intelligent. Brings facts about the economy and predictions such as "reports indicate that Oil may rise to $xxx a barrel come this summer". Other times he'll talk about what the private sector is doing and how that will effect the economy, Wall street, main street, etc.
Then you have Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck,etc These men are commentators, not journalists, reporters or anything related to those jobs. These men are paid to get in front of a Camera and give their opinions. They can use facts, jokes, whatever. These people are just giving their opinions and people love them and that is why Fox news keeps them, because they are popular and people agree with what they are saying.
Then lastly you have the Geraldo Rivera types. The guys who bleed and sweat for every story. Even beating a dead horse years after the rest of the media has forgotten about it.
Fox News gets a bad rap because they are more centrists in the political spectrum when compared to the likes of msnbc, cbs, abc, New York times. Liberals hate Fox news so much because it is more popular with the average citizen than the other channels. When your station does nothing but, damn conservatives as lunatics and racists (Janeane Garofalo, Keith Olbermann,etc) but, in the same breath turn around and praise people like Reid, Pelosi, Kennedy,etc as saviors of man kind...you can't call yourself unbiased. Watch the channel with an open mind sometime. You may learn a thing or two.
I’ll leave you with this: When asked what cable news network was unbiased in 2008, one thousand Americans in an October 16, 2008 RasmussenReports.com Poll found that 42% believed Fox News was unbiased, 33% believed CNN was unbiased, and 28% said MSNBC was unbiased.
Anyways, we're derailing the topic at hand.
