Foxnews is one of the worst, I would trust just about any other news source before I would trust Fox. They are ran by Political minded a$$holes

Reuters and BBc is the way to go, i get my news on news.google.com - its all AI based with no editors; computers have no bias or political preference.
I cant stand Limbeau lately, he had some decent ideas earlier but his opinions on war are just arrogant and simple minded. Same goes for O'reily
I suppose I should post the exact reasons why I hate Fox News...
1. Splash animations
2. Half of the screen is covered in loud, flashy pictures
3. Pro-Republican spin on everything. Heard yesterday, referring to reduction of tax cut bill: "The Democrats are dragging their feet on economic stimulus..."
4. Worship of Republican politicians. Heard yesterday, before commercial break: "Next, how Donald Rumsfeld's genius helped to win the war..." (it was Rumsfeld, you may remember, who originally wanted to send only 10,000 troops into Iraq, and only gave in to pressure from Tommy Franks and Colin Powell at the last moment)
5. Homicide Bombers
6. Obsession with slogans and phrases. "...the bombing campaign, shock and awe..." ("shock and awe" was very unnaturally added on at the end, as if the anchor forgot that they had to say it), "double taxation of dividends", and so on
7. I don't know what to call this: "...yeah, and that really is awful...", "...terrible man, gassed his own people..." (again, very forced and unnatural)
8. "Real Journalism, Fair and Balanced"
9. Bill O'Reily's show. Bill himself isn't as bad as he could be, but some of the idiots he has on his show make me want to kill someone. One show I suffered through for a few minutes featured, among others, some b!tch in a red suit spouting crap about how Canada and Mexico are going to "pay" for not supporting Bush's wars, and how the "Axis of Weasel" are going to wish they hadn't stood in "our" way.

George Carlin should add Fox News to his well known list of oxymorons that includes jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, etc.
