    As some of your above posters noted they have to watch Fox so they know in advance what the talking points will be for the day . Kind of like cheating on your American History class isnt it ? On the other hand we on the right side of things dont have to watch the likes of Obermann or MSNBC since we find them and it to be revisionist in nature anyway. And i for one like sticking to the Historical facts.

    After you've waded through the snarky and childish answers from those on the right who don't have a clue about their own political ideology, I'll tell you why people complain about Fox News being unfair.

    First, they frequently express completely unsubstantiated opinion (often times pure lies) as fact.

    Second, they frequently give round-the-clock coverage to the stupidest crap in the world, then lead their less-than-educated viewers (although, there certainly are a majority of viewers who intelligent) to the warpath, where they become so angry about those unsubstantiated opinions that they feel the need to constantly repeat the opinions they were spoon-fed. This tends to piss of a less-than-educated viewer of lefty channels. So, then they start yelling too, with their equally unsubstantiated opinions that were spoon-fed to them.

    Third, Fox News is not a news channel. It is an entertainment channel that has news coverage. So, people like to express their opinion about it. Kind of like, 'I hate the tv show Lost', or 'I think make a deal is stupid.

    I have yet to figure it out.. I guess it gives them something to discuss, considering the dismal results from a liberal majority in leadership and the fact that they can't even agree with each other.

    And yet, their very own media (ALL of the rest), suffers because they spend more time watching FOX, insuring that their ratings shoot through the roof.

    It makes no sense, but I must admit, it's hilarious!

    i might like, in simple terms as quickly as, for a number of those loud mouthed, parroting infants to coach a like, only one, with information. yet it is going to not ensue. besides, in the event that they comprehend plenty approximately Fox mendacity, why do they watch it plenty? isn't that in simple terms information to you that they are parrots, and can't think of for themselves.

    Because it IS unfair. In a period of ten minutes, at least 10 lies are told on-air. It is so biased to the right it tips over frequently! We watch Becko the Clown having his National Nervous Breakdown because we are glad it's him and not us!

    FOX News has admitted to using RNC talking points, so what would you call that? FREE PRESS? LOL

    I'm sure Joy Behar is very upset that she didn't win you over....

    I like to know what the days talking points from the Republicans are.

    Don't worry, I only have the FOX NEWS on for 10-15 minutes to know what are the TP's for the day.

    Proud Texan....you really wouldn't have known the Manson family was nuts if you didn't read Helter Skelter. Really? I guess the numerous murders, the rape, kidnapping, drugs and the trial that was world wide news wouldn't have tipped you off.

    I don't watch FOX news but I've seen plenty of documentation that it provides a serious editorial slant.

    I did watch the Clinton Wallace interview and I was impressed that Clinton ate his lunch.

    For the same reason Conservatives tune into Obama's speeches, KNOWING they won't like or trust anything he has to say. People like to be angered sometimes (or get a good laugh at the opposition). I for one CAN'T STAND 10 sec. of Fox"News". I've tried several times, figuring they couldn't be as bad as my Liberal friends make them out to be. ITS WORSE

    If I never read Helter Skelter I would have never known just how nuts the Manson family was. It's kind of the same thing with watching Fox News.
