Special Report is really good with Krauthammer in the afternoons. Other than that, it's complete garbage.
Krauthammer is a bitter, angry man. Maybe understandable or even somewhat excusable given his circumstances, but still.
Nobody in the news business is straight down the middle any more, so that's not my biggest objection to Fox. It's that they're so blatant in their pandering, and it's so dumbed down. They appeal to the fear and suspicion of their audience, and they really do seem to aim for about a 7th or 8th grade level of comprehension.

I heard two statements that were definitely not true and were incorrect.

You are incorrect. You must be terribly flawed to think that

The only show on Fox your statement could possibly be addressing is Hannity - and everybody here hate's Hannity.
Unless you think that the remainder of the media is geared to a 3rd grade level of comprehension.

There is no doubt Fox is worse and designed to pander to a certain audience. They are pretty transparent and don't try and hide their agenda.
As long as people understand they are the least like a news network of any similar network and more like an editorial opinion network (like say the old religious channels) then all is good.

You're so cute when you listen to 10 minutes and draw such conclusions.
Special Report. One hour per day / 5 days. Compare and contrast with AP (newspaper, broadcast national evening news shows). Funny how we hear elected officials personally stating things we don't hear anywhere else. Not opinion, but them in their own words. Such Bias.

I'm not huge into politics anymore, but if a situation happens, I tend to look at multiple news sites/channels and do a little fact checking on my own.

I am with you. I don't know how anyone can listen to the crap brought forth with people like Juan Williams, Bob Beckle, Geraldo, and all the rest of those liberals given a voice on Fox. So I agree with you, how can anyone listen to that crap. But listen to the audios and see the videos and you can see how those libs get caught in their lies.

You can't be serious. Coming from someone who watches neither, MSNBC is a caricature of liberalism.
I acknowledge the fact that MSNBC is leans left.

I don't watch it much. However, I feel exactly the same way about Fox. Good for a laugh.

All Sharpton has his own show for crying out loud.
That's embarrassing, no doubt. Sort of like Hannity.

I think MSNBC is, other than one or two exceptions, a liberal cable news source. I think Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are full of shite and suck(ed) as leaders of the Senate and House, respectively. See there? You're wrong.

I think Fox lost its way with the Tea Party Movement and the reelection of Obama. There is nothing wrong with being a conservative/republican news outlet, but it has become a ranting conservative network.
Too often it jumps to the conclusions of the crazy rightwing agenda.

Where I live Fox News via radio comes on for only 3 minutes... at the top of the hour. It contains absolutely no commentary at all.
