Does anyone watch Fox News?

I have been staying with my parents and they watch a lot of Fox News. I really don't consider myself Rep. or Dem. since my knowledge of politics is limited. I couldn't debate myself out of a paper bag. I was just wondering how many watch it and what thoughts linger about this. It's a scary world out there.

To be honest, I don`t watch Fox anymore. I just really don`t care to hear what they have to say anymore.

They talk about the same things everyday. Someone told me about the Drudge report, but I don't know what to believe anymore. I was just wondering because I was sitting here waiting for the price is right to come on and in the back ground I heard fox news talking of how iraqs government wants washington to reconsider there strategy on pulling out the country. I couldn't help but think that the good people of that country who have nothing to do with terrorism are doomed.

I don't care for it, but I absolutely love the people that say they are crazy yet MSNBC and Keith Olbermann are all truth. That cracks me up, both stations are a joke pushing their own political agenda.

people need to understand the difference between a talkshow or editorial piece vs the actual news broadcast

and there are differing opinions even within the same channel

both fox and msnbc lean hard to one side (opposite) and both are buffoonery in some instances

i cringe just channel surfing through it.

the difference between msnbc and fox (besides the politic choices) is the presentation. While they both push their agenda, one at least pretends that you are somewhat intelligent; the other (Fox) doesnt want to let you make your own mind.

I prefer the BBC myself.

nope, anything euro is far left, without being so overt

truth is never told, you have to figure it out yourself, it usually lies in the middle

CNN is as close as you're gonna get to middle of the road. It's cost them in ratings.

All news these days is mostly propoganda. If you want news I would suggest tuning into National Public Radio.
