Thread: Fox news

I have noted that there is a lot of kneejerk reactions when Fox news is brought up. Mostly disgust and sarcasm, and then there is the kneejerk in the opposite direction, in other words, for Fox news but this is the rarer of the two reactions. I have also noted that Fox news neilson ratings are through the roof compared to just about every other cable station. Kind of interesting that there is such a clamor against Fox and yet they top the ratings don't you think.
I believe that most of the News we get here in the states is slanted and extremely biased and while Fox obviously has its opinion shows that are very conservative to just right of moderate I believe there actual news is fairly even handed. I wouldn't bet my life on it though as politics has seemed to poison everything these days, particularly the news. Take for instance the NY Times. They refused to publish the emails from "climate gate" stating the emails were only meant for personal consumption but had no compunction in publishing Sarah Palins private emails.
Anyways, to the point. I wish to know how many of you watch fox and your opinion of its basic news service and not its opinion shows.
There will be a poll that you can vote on so that you won't have to expose yourself if you don't wish to.
