Who Else Loves Fox News?

[Jadow]

I have to say, Fox News is GREAT! I can't imagine watching TV w/o Fox News. Is Fox News right of CNN and MSNBC? Yes! But where is the center line? I sure don't know.

All I can say is, I find most Fox hosts to be entertaining and light hearted, they have a bit of whimsy in all their reporting, and I find I don't get annoyed when I watch Fox news. Also, they have a lot of babes on air.

Their Saturday Morning "Cost of Freedom" business block is the best, you hear from the likes of the WWE wrestler Bradshaw, Trapper John from M*A*S*H, Ben Stein, and former presidential candidate Steve Forbes. Where else do you get such an awesome lineup?

makes my head hurt listening to all the shouting.

If you think it's entertaining, good for you.

If you think it's informative, end yourself.

Some people like to watch news channels for real news, not entertainment.

 

[Fritzo]

Eh...they always seem to be arguing and shouting. I'll read news on the Internet, where it's nice and quiet.

O'Reiley and Hannity & Colmes are entertainment. A lot of Fox News is quite informative. It's not so biased when you watch their regular news reports.

Seriously though, all they do is shout and act 'provocative' for the sake of being provocative. It's not informative in the least.

Too bad the only news network that leans to the right is such garbage. I'm liberal but I think that conservatives should still be entitled to their own network and coverage of decent quality.

Have they started their countdown to Bush's next re-election yet?

Sandwiched between blaring announcments about how fair and balanced they are.

edit: I'm left-leaning, but I like to hear counter opinions/arguments.
Unfortunately, FOX appears too full of ___ to take seriously.

Sorry but I disagree. I'm as up on current events as anyone I know, and get most of my info from Fox News. I understand they have "opinion" shows like O'Reilly and Hannity, but Shep Smith's show before O'Reilly, and Brit Hume's news hour are very informational.

Some people have wanted to do that for years.

..got tired of cnn because of their obvious agenda drum beat. Really can't consider them a news org. anymore. And their declining viewership is evidential.

 

[Strk]

It's like the other news stations -- very little real news and a boatload of commentary. When I do watch cable news, it's MSNBC, but that's only because I have basic cable, so it's the only one available. Even then, it's mostly the headline stuff in the middle of the day.

Foxnews is the same as CNN. I flip between CNN, Fox and such. if one gets to crazy the other channels have something diffrent.

 

[Auggie]

FoxNEWS, even their pure news shows, are not unbiased. As a social conservative (but decidedly not a neo-con) I find that I can get a lot out of Fox news if I watch it through a filter of being aware that it is what it is: right of center reporting.

The same is true when I watch BBC or read the NY Times - I filter what I watch/read with the understanding that those news sources are all left-of-center.

Just as long as you apply critical thinking you can see through a lot of the bias on either side.

I pity the fool who enjoys Foxnews, even if such a fool is too pitiful to recognize deserved pity.

Its not intentionally condescending to look down on Foxnews or its supporters, its simply the only vantage angle available.

don't watch much news get it off the net. I do watch some of fox's streaming video as well as nbc and cnn.

Fox has that bitch greta, and cnn has that other bitch. Why can't both of those stations fire those to whining little bitches. I really don't watch either of those stations, but wolf kinda annoys me, I think its that situation room setup that annoys me more than wolf.

 

[CorCentral]

I like Fox the most, but watch the other ones just often. O'Reilly is the best out of all of them though.

There once was a man named O'Reilly
Who said: if you want me to lie well I'm sorry
But then again if I tried
I'd get the left on my side
Just to prove that they're fuller of blarney

 

[Fayd]

i watch fox news more than other news stations, because their bias is more in line with my thinking.

their news segments are moderately entertaining, and very informative.


i dont watch their editorials or discussions at all. (i dont watch oreilly, hannity and colmes, or anyone else like that)

they do have alot of babes on the air


gripes are....why are half of their contributors people who have been completely disgraced in their field? like that prosecutor from the OJ Simpson case....and that asshat Geraldo Rivera...

I watch MSNBC 95% of the time, CNN Headline News 4% of the time and Fox News 1% of the time for laughs. Seems as though when I turn on Fox News during the mid-day, I see conservative commentators gangbanging democratic pundits. It's brutal. At least on MSNBC, they usually have one republican and one democrat and let them go at it while the news reader just sits back and watches them beat each other up There also seems to be more of a balance on MSNBC too. You have the right-leaning Joe Scarborough and Tucker Carlson which sort of balances out Keith Olbermann's (see sig) left-wing rantings.

That one Republican pundit they have on MSNBC all the time though, Brad Blakeman I think his name is, is actually pretty funny.

This is interesting.

Dems cancel debate over Fox chief's Obama joke

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- A Nevada Democratic presidential debate that was to have been co-hosted by Fox News Network was canceled by organizers, in part because of a joke by Fox Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes about presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama. Democrats canceled the debate Friday. They said a comment by Ailes during a Thursday night speech to a group of radio and television news directors indicated the network was biased against their party.

"It's true that Barack Obama is on the move," Ailes said, deliberately confusing the Illinois senator's name with that of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. "I don't know if it's true President Bush called [Pakistan President Pervez] Musharraf and said, 'Why can't we catch this guy?' " Even before Ailes' remarks, there was intense pressure from the liberal group MoveOn.org to cancel the August event as part of its boycott of Fox.

Ailes has served as a campaign adviser to Republican candidates, including former Presidents Reagan and Bush. Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards dropped out of the debate Thursday, citing, in part, Fox's participation. Fox News Vice President David Rhodes responded to the debate cancellation with a written statement saying MoveOn.org owns the Democratic Party.Text

yeah i too do enjoy watching fox news instead of all the grown up news of the other stations but i know it is crap news

 

[OrByte]

I will watch Fox just to see the latest spin being feed to the sheeple. It isn't really entertaining so much as it is frustrating to see people (viewership) so easily lobotomized.

CNN does the same. Hell any "news" outlet that spent more than 2 minutes reporting on the death of Anna Nicole Smith deserves EVERYONE's disdain.

But this is the type of "news" our cable media outlets are good for...
