What do you think bothers liberals the most about Fox News?

Is it because Fox dominates the rating to an absurd rate? Just how dominant is Fox News? Consider this: its morning show, "Fox & Friends," draws more total viewers on average than the top-rated NON-Fox show in cable news, MSNBC's "Countdown", which comes in at number 14. The top 13 are all on Fox. Or is it because the Fox has replaced all the other major networks ( ABC, NBC,CBS,CNN) and the liberal print media, as the source that a vast majority of Americans tune to to get their news? By the way, the link is from the Huffington Post

    All the above.

    They can't handle the fact that they no longer have a monopoly on the news and that they can no longer unilaterally control the agenda.

    Sucks to be them. In many ways.

    Source(s): It's called Agenda Setting. They may not have been telling us what to think, but they sure could determine what to tell us to think about and what information we were exposed to. Until FOX.

    Fox reports all the news not just the news that makes them look good. Not that there is much of that. They are basically screwed. They have to blame somebody because they will never admit they have done anything wrong.

    We mostly hate that so many fools fall for the half truths, and out and out lies spread by Fox news. I put the Sherrod story up there with

    "Barack Obama attended a Madrassa"

    "Hillary clinton has a lesbian lover"

    "Cindy Sheehan is addicted to internet porn"

    and

    "California wildfires were started by Muslim terrorists"

    Liberals oppose the biased news reporting, slanders, racism, nativism, and lies that are so common on Fox.

    The truth and climbing rating show the liberals the writing is on the wall.The gravy train is coming to a end.

    How about the fact that they spent an entire 24 hours lambasting a woman as a racist who turned out not to be!

    The truth.

    That always bothers them more than anything else.

    I suspect it's mostly the lies (though liberals may find the fact that lying is SO good for ratings a little depressing, too, because it suggest that they may be wrong about "every" human life being worth something...)

    They hate that it gives us information that we want to know about

    Conservative worry that we can't get our message across and liberals worry that their agenda well be exposed

    They want us to be like the Canucks walking around always watching an other country and never knowing what is going on at home

    People know where to get their truth.

    If they want communist propaganda or Hollywood gossip (which is crap), they can laze around and be dumbed down by the idiot mainstream
