Why does everyone hate Fox news?

I know their idea of "fair and balanced" is 4 on 1 as seen on "The Five" but for the love of God at least they allow Democrats to speak on their network's MSNBC almost never has Republicans on to give a different view on things they will have 5 people debating one issue and they all just agree with the person talking before them and then say the same thing in their own words

im not saying Fox doesn't deserve all the hate they get all im saying is spread the hate evenly

i was gonna throw CNN into this rant but lets be honest CNN is not news in anyway

Update:

@mist im not saying that Hannity and company are right but what makes them anymore extreme than Chris Matthews or Rachel Maddow and yeah their highly conservative and MSNBC is highly liberal so are more people liberal's is that what your saying?

    Journalism is dead in America. It died sometime during the Iraq war. What we call news in America now is little more than a big gossip column controlled by Westinghouse, GE, and Newscorp. They all suck, but Fox News (aka Newscorp is the worst offender). BBC and NPR are really the last places to find actual journalism.

    Because its a heavily conservative station. The flakiness of the reporters is nauseating. Fox is called faux for a reason. U have THe extreme views of Hannity, O'reilly, & Huckbee on there.

    The left prefers to SHUT DOWN DEBATE. If you question them(leftists), you are either sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, or bigoted. (credit to Dennis Prager) Name calling (see above comment) is part of the leftist playbook. Would anybody want to be called any of those names? Of course not, so people instinctively shy away from debate (default victory for the lefties) or get smeared (like Fox gets smeared) when they stand up for and DEFEND their ideas.

    If you are really open mined, look for it, and you will see it. Trust me, I'm a former lefty that finally grew up and realized that Socialism works....until you run out of other peoples money!

    Because its going against the liberal media talking points from the White House .

    Nobody on Fox gets a tingle up their leg whenever Obama speaks or his dull speeches .
