during the morning news name one thing they report a bout democrats in a positive light. Hannity, replace democrat or liberal with word jew he sounds like a nazi. They spew lies over and over until it buries the truth.

Name one thing. Just because I don't like fox news or Hannity doesn't qualify one to be a racist. If you're a millionare you should vote republican if you're not your voting against your own interests.
Democrats helped bring along little things like Security ( unless your parents or grandparents are rich I'm sure they are glad to get it.) Paid holidays, paid vacations, maaternity leave, Medicare.
Reagin, granted amnesty to illegals, anchor babies, destroyed the budget
Although I hold democrats responsible for NAFTA.

I admit, they can't uphold the standards of journalistic integrity that CNN and MSNBC have established.

Why do you believe any national "news" outlet?

I don't think Fox News outright lies, they just spin things to paint the left in a bad light, just like MSNBC does to the right. Both report half truths and spread propaganda.

The thing about Fox News though is they do it with a bunch of absolute idiots. Hannity, Boling, the morning guys, etc.

Spot on. They're both disingenuous towards their base.

The difference is that to compare Maddow's and Hannity is to chess and checkers respectively. Fox does have some smart people (Kelly, Shep Smith) but their most popular ones (Hannity) are idiots.

I will say that fox at least entertains the notion of giving the left a voice.

News flash (ha) major media outlets are foremost for profit, secondly for entertainment, they just happen to have politics as a subject matter, sort of.

Why do people watch cable tv to make their political decisions?

answer: people are mostly ignorant morons.

I haven't watched Fox news since they fired Glenn Beck. That man speaks the truth and digs into things other people are too afraid to look into. The tides foundation, George Soros, and other liberal attempts to steal elections and turn America communist, are just some of the things back has brought to the light.

I agree, Hannity is a hack and really not that smart. What we need are more Glenn Beck's and less Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity.

Fox News, MSNBC/NBC, CNN, ABC, and CBS are all shills. Fox News leans right, the rest lean left. Most intelligent people can distill the news from the garbage spewed by all of these and the internet, and by doing a little research themselves.

That being said, trying watching the MSNBC hosts. They are the most condescending bunch on television, and least watchable. At least Fox News has some eye candy.

While they might have some serious hacks, they sure as hell don't have a lying dickbag like Chris Matthews.

You speak toward a general problem with television news. Fox is just the poster child because they are the best at it.

while i don't like her point of view, Maddow's a good commentator and very intelligent. don't put her in the same sentence with Hannity.

I can't stand Fox News

But Democrats and Republicans (politicians) are equally responsible for screwing us over and pissing away our countries financial strength.

Fire them all and start over
