    But you use Jon Stewart as a "news" source right?

    Isn't that a little ironic coming from a guy who uses Dennis Miller for his avatar?!?!?

    You're right. Might as well make lots of $$ and be irrelevant. At least they got that going for them.

    Now that I think of it you got a point! Too many people watch it and follow it. So now they aren't even credible to say the mainstream media is against them.

    You have it wrong...Fox is the channel for the employed and producers...the 47% watch the other networks...

    Correct. And if people followed the money (literally), they'd see even more clearly that Fox is indeed there for "profit" (as virtually all commercial networks are).

    This is a recent enough example, to show how helpless Fox News is, when someone calls in reality (to their face, on the air). Something similar happened with Fox and Carl Rove on election night, this past November 2012.
    And with each additional flaw in their 'theatrical' armor that is exposed... the less and less their "credibility" with the American people; they will start to sense it, as a shark senses its prey in the water.

    People ARE catching onto what Fox News truly is; they will leave inevitably (ratings will decrease). Someday it will all add up, and that network will either have changed or being to 'diminish' (in every way).

    I go to these guys for my news:

    Stephen Colbert

    Jon-Stewart629.jpg
    Jon Stewart

    Their views of Fox are quite laughable. Colbert regularly uses Fox and Friends for his jokes and Jon has deemed Fox News----

    Come now, who was it that said his administration would be the most open in history and then closed it's doors to Republicans on health care?

    Who said they would post all bills on the web before voting on them and didn't?

    Who said we have hundreds of shovel ready jobs if you just give me a few billion to fund them and later admitted there were none?

    Who kept up the lie about the Libyan attack?


    Who said our border is now secure?

    What news station doctored video and lied about a White man showing up at an Obama rally wearing a gun and rifle when he was really a Black?

    What news station contently cut all the speeches out of every minority speaker at the Republican National Convention?

    MSNBC Anchor Threatens Romney Son With Violence

    MSNBC Caught Doctoring Clip From Romney/Ryan Rally - YouTube

    Who has continually lied and tried to cover up Fast and Furious?

    Two Cheers for Katy Conrad!

    Posted on | April 24, 2012 | 4 Comments and 0 Reactions

    John Hindraker thought it was “insane” for Katy Conrad of CBS News to contact Koch Industries, inquiring about the claim by MSNBC and other liberals that the Koch brothers were paying for George Zimmerman’s legal defense in the Trayvon Martin case.

    Pete Da Tech Guy comes to Katy Conrad’s defense, saying that at least she checked it out and didn’t run the story, and I agree.

    Katy Conrad did her job. If Ed Schultz is going to permit Karen Finney and Van Jones to lie about the Koch brothers on MSNBC, other news organizations are obligated to check out the facts, which Conrad did, to her credit

    MSNBC is just as bad. That's why I don't watch them either.

    Amen! The reason their stuff is so right and so funny, is because COMEDY requires that there be an anchor to REALITY. For the type of humor they do, bogus info doesn't work.

    They aren't hugely popular for nothing.

    Did Fox try and doctor up the vote and give Romney states he didn't win?

    Megyn Kelly reminded Karl Rove of what actually happened on Tuesday night.

    In a bizarre twist, Karl Rove contested his own network's projections on election night. Fox News had called Ohio and the presidency for Obama, but Rove began to argue with the anchors, saying that it was "early" and "premature" for any real decisions. His protests prompted Megyn Kelly to confirm the call with the network's number-crunchers.

    Rove was back on Fox News Thursday, where he alleged that Obama "succeeded by suppressing the vote." He rattled off a bunch of statistics, arguing that Obama's victory this time was less significant than in 2008.

    That's when Kelly said, “You keep saying that, but he won, Karl, he won... and that's what the Republicans care about, what the Democrats care about."

    It's actually comical watching people defend them as credbile. I'm telling you it's because they have lived their lives according to Fox news and have gotten in so deep over the years and they are embarrassed to admit they made a huge error in judgement. It's proven that people who watch Fox are uninformed and I think for a lot of people who feel they are professional and rational people who wouldn't normally go for propaganda and such were totally bought into what Fox was doing. To admit at this point that they were following crazy people with full force is a blow to the ego and intelligence. Interesting.

    Yep. Pride is the only thing compelling many to stick with Fox. When my buddy told me I was watching it too much... I really did get mad at him.

    It was quite embarrassing for Fox to give Rove full rank to say whatever he wanted all these years then Fox were on the brink of blashphemy and had to dispute him. What was even more funny was by doing so they TRIED to make an attempt to look like a credible new station but it's too late and their actions of giving bad info after that point is continues to feed that reputation of not being credible. It was just a mess for them.

    Kelly once again shuts down fellow Republican

    Why Did Megyn Kelly Shut Down David Horowitz?
    Fox News's Megyn Kelly has always been a hard-hitting, fearless conservative who is much hated by the Left. For that reason, it is truly disturbing that she would kowtow to the forces of political correctness and shut down another conservative who dared to confront the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government.

    Actually, I believe that both Fox and MSNBC are seriously biased. But MSNCB at least correct their mistakes, and they provide factual videos and articles to substantiate their spin.

    I wouldn't recommend anyone to get the bulk of their news from either of those two channels. . .but it seems that MSNCB viewers do not hesitate to also go to other sources for news (including NPR, CNN, and BBC), while too many Fox viewers refuse to go to any other sources, and therefore are more susceptible to brain washing with pretty sad consequences and disappointments, as the 2012 elections demonstrated.

    Fox is total garbage, but so are CNN and MSNBC.
