Love me some Rachel Maddow!!

How anyone can listen to Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity for more than 5 minutes without shoving a pencil in their ears, I have no idea.

not really the point I was making, but just for giggles I typed in Fox in the search and there are at least 37 threads that popped up.   :cheers:

68 v. 66 would be the count

I have always found it interesting how much libs hate Fox.  I mean, I get that they don't like it, but they freaking hate it and bring it up in every argument.  "You must be watching too much Faux News maaaaaaaaaaaaan". 

Why don't they just not watch it???

It brought Glen Beck to the world. How do you not hate it?

CNN brought Glenn Beck into the world.

Does CNN own Headline News because that's where I saw him first. I was lying(typical lib) when I said Fox brought him to the world. Fox is where he got super big and stuff.

On election night I decided to watch fox for the spectacle... the meltdowns, the grasping at straws, the wild goose chases... all of it - epic. It was very much like watching ku in the tourny when the refs aren't on their knees for them and they just can't believe what's happening.

The Karl Rove meltdown was incredible

Having to watch them send down the attractive blond down back stage through the building to the bean counters in their cubicles was painful but amazing at the same time.

So at this point, doesn't everyone who is pretty smart (i.e: most people here) realize that FOX News and MSNBC are both pretty much garbage for anything resembling objective news reporting but really high entertainment value?  I mean, I hate the huge numbers of people influenced by both (way more on FOX, because they are better at it), but it sure can be fun to watch either.

I think my only problem with either is their influence over dumbfucks. I mean, a large portion of our population feels they are getting their legitimate news from both.

Most, if not all of the main stream media is mumped, no??? If you don't watch MSNBC or Fox, where do you get your news? NBC, ABC, CBS nightly, all just as mumped

Real Time w/ Bill Maher might be the best news/talk show on TV

Well yea, but the majority of people dont understand this. I told my parents to watch  MSNBC before the election because it's the least shitty imo. They push their agenda like everyone else but seem to use facts to back it up unlike Fox.

Fox (TV) is more of an editorial to me.  The website does have some editorialized stuff but generally okay.  IMO the non-editorialized Fox stuff is less biased than most stuff you'll read on MSNBC.  The least biased major news source I've found is the BBC but they get some crap wrong too.

I like BBC and Al-Jazeera English, but you get shorted on domestic news.

When choosing to watch the news, I watch CNN... It is the most unbiased IMO. Rarely, if ever, watch MSNBC, probably even less than Fox. (despite the opinion of FSD)

Love Bill Maher and Jon Stewart in terms of commentary concerning the current events.

Get my news and information from NY Times, USA Today, Washington Post, Salon, The Atlantic, Slate, etc...

I like to watch Jon Stossell sometimes on Fox Business.  But then again I AM a neo-con.

Stossell is good. Common sense just confuses the libs.

All business-focused news leans to the right. Even the CNBC hosts will tell you that Obama is a rough ridin' moron, but that isn't to say it's right or "common sense." The Economist takes a macro view on most issues and typically comes down just left of center. If you are up to the challenge, The Economist is an excellent way to increase understanding beyond "god-damned taxes are too high."

Stossell is on the business channel, but its not a business or economics show.
