Why do people still think that "Fox News" is REAL news?

Fox news is not "main stream" news, or legitimate news, I don't know why some people still think they report "the news" its all propaganda!

    Fox News isn't news, its opinion. It's about as fair and balanced as a one legged horse race.

    Heck, even the weather on Fox local news is bogus; when everybody else is forecasting flurries, the local Fox channel is predicting a possible blizzard.

    Notice that all that did not like FOX can not state even ONE news story they thought was inaccurate !!!!!

    THAT IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WATCH IT, THEY JUST HEAR FROM A LIBERAL SOURCE LIKE MSNBC THEY ARE WATCHING FOX IS BIAS

    THUS MAKING THESE LIBS OBAMA DRIVEN LIARS

    I watch all the news ,,,and have found nothing on Fox to be inaccurate

    They said Obama care would be more costly and it is

    MSNBC SAID OBAMA CARE WOULD BE FREE , BUT ITS NOT

    MSNBC SAID OBAMA CARE WOULD COVER ALL , BUT IT DOES NOT

    FOX said obama care would have a income limit and it does , if you don't have an income

    obama puts you back on state care , just like ya had before

    If you have your own insurance , obamacare will have it canceled and it does or soon will

    FOX REPORTED THIS 100% CORRECTLY , WHILE ALL OTHERS DID NOT

    FOX PREDICTED IF OBAMA PULLED OUT OF IRAQ

    terrorists would rush in and they did

    MSNBC SAID PULL OUT WILL ADVANCE IRAQ AND MAKE IT FREE , BUT INSTEAD THAT CAUSED ISIS TO BE FORMED SO WRONG AGAIN

    FOX SAID OBAMA WILL RUN UP $18 T IN DEBT OR DOUBLE OF WHAT BUSH HAD AND HE DID !!!

    MSNBC SAID OBAMA WILL PAY OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT , BUT THEY WERE 100% WRONG

    SO THERE WE GO FOX 99% CORRECT

    MSNBC 99% WRONG

    I prefer FOX News over CNN or MSNBC. I don't even watch CNN or MSNBC anymore. They were very biased with all their negative spin towards news involving Christian denominations (and organized religions, in general). I learned a LONG time ago that the news media tells you what they want you to know - not necessarily the truth.

    I like, Fox news thank you very much. It does not mean I buy everything

    they sell. All news is biased in one way or another.

    I have watched several different channels and they all seem the same to me, even Fox. They all have the same news on them. Is there something better?...

    When you hire eight or ten incompetent minds all from a party of fanatical pseudo-religious types--

    anyone fooled by a promise that they're news would be "fair and balanced" would have to be insane or deliberately lying to himself/herself. I mean if you saw a football team and ten guys were dressed in mobsters suits and carrying machine guns but the club president insisted, "We play fair and honest"--could the truth be "missed? by any honest mind?

    I doubt it. These people don' want news--or they'd turn to a sane source.

    Thanks you for asking.

    because they have been brainwashed, my mother-in-law brings her fox news crap into our house and my husband told her to knock it off because they make things up and lie and she got offended and said that fox is the only news that speaks the truth.

    my favorite bumper sticker i've seen recently said "FOX NEWS/WHEN YOU CAN NO LONGER THINK FOR YOURSELF"

    I only care about the weather. So I need to know if I have to take an umbrella or not.

    Because CNN and all the other news sites won't shut the hell up about Trump, move on a report what's actually going on in the world
