Typical FOX News fan boy attitude. I don't watch CNN or MSNBC but from what I've heard they are just as bad as the likes of FOX.
This seems a typical Fox News bashboy rant; " I don't watch CNN or MSNBC but from what I've heard..." bah, you guys keep showing that in reality the facts do not matter. You haven't compared Fox to the Liberal Drivel shows but you're sure Fox is bad because your brother says so.

I watch EuroNews, RTÉ news, Channel4 News, BBC News and a variety of both left and right wing Internet sources thank you very much...and if I think a news item is a little suspect I often check on here to see what kind of defences are being used back and fourth by either side over it.
Fox News bashboys assume that people who watch Fox News are ' mind numbed robots ' incapable of viewing their own variety of programming. Frankly, this is a demonstration of the elitism and snobbery that makes liberals so annoying. Thank
you very much.

FOX has little or no opposing viewpoints on any news piece they run. They usually get some retard to come on and argue against 2 or 3 'hotshots' and pass it off as a fair and balanced debate.
The debate or political commentary programs are not meant to be viewed as news. They are debate or political commentary programs. Liberals can't compete in a honest debate so they try to crush opposing views with free speech crushing legislation like The Fairness Doctrine. Why should laws be passed to provide liberals with equal time?
If the lefts ideas were so enlightened and appealing a thing such a The Fairness Doctrine would not exist.

They also have an irresponsible mix of news and entertainment-style, opinionated chat, which for the less discerning viewer just meshes in with the rest of the actual news to give a skewed and opinionated view of what the actual news might be.
FOX News are rubbish...and just because CNN or MSNBC or whoever else are rubbish too it doesn't change that fact.
I'm glad it is not your job to decide what is irresponsible or acceptable news. A fellow who cannot differentiate between political commentary and a news program should stick to things like making Struisin Gaelach.
