   I used to watch, but since the election it has become unbearable. I quit. Also I am a registered Republican and I am getting crazy emails from all angles asking for money to besmirch Obama and the Dems. I donated during the election, because it take money to get the message out, but I will not give money for hate messages. Obama is a good American and doing a good job for us!

   JDG, Thank you for your honest and candid assessment of the situation. Its too bad the majority of Americans, Reps. and dems. alike cannot put down their idiot sticks and employ some rational thinking.

   This isn’t the Fox News I watch. This is Fox seen through Left-colored glasses.

   The anti-Obama comments I hear are a molehill compared to the mountain of anti-Bush venom from the Left (much of it deserved on both sides, I admit).

   Besides, contrary to those who want to revive the unfair “Fairness Doctrine”, Fox is NOT obliged to present all sides of an issue. The near absence of right-left balance in most of the media is the reason Fox is necessary. If you don’t like it, go listen to Pacifica Radio. It’s still a free country. (Mostly. So far.)

   The biggest thing I *do* hold against Fox is their continuing fondness for the religious-nutjob wing of the GOP (for example, Palin, Huckabee, Jindal, etc.). Fox so far has not seen that this is what has dragged down what is supposed to be the party of individual freedom. I’m hoping (but not too hopeful) that the Tea-Party groundswell can change the GOP. That would be Change I Can Believe In.

   pschearer - The fundamentalist wing of the Republican party is largely responsible for pushing me to the left. Separation of church and state is a good principle which was intended to protect both the church and the state. The unholy union of religion and politics is bad for both.

   The far right element of Christianity has snagged hold of the Republican Party and has, for close to two decades, systematically eliminated all of the principles that made the party what it was originally intended to be.

    Very interesting posts by all of you. I try to check out many different news channels to see how they cover news. Is it investigative or is it their own opinion? How reasoned are their commentaries? Do they appeal to the gut or to the brain?

    Yeah, those far-right Christians are ruining so much…y’know, like how they have gotten rid of abortion, gained school vouchers, stemmed the tide of gay marriage in the heartland, and got an arch-conservative candidate to run for president against Obama.

    Confirmation bias. Avoid it if you can.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

    A related tendency: to perceive most actions and statements by co-believers as “justified” and “rational”, and to perceive most actions and statements by opponents as “hatred” and “venom”. Also, to selectively remember the positive actions of co-believers and the negative actions of opponents. Extreme cases often involve feelings of persecution and paranoia.

    This comic is a load of bleeep, probably written by someone who worships at the altar of Olbermann and his mini-me clone R. Maddow, that said, free speech goes on. The only reason, THE ONLY reason, that older network broadcast networks have any bipartisan reporting at all is because of Fox news and the competition they brought to the news place. Say what you will about Fox and anyone else you HATE, Christians, for example. Thank God and Rupert Murdoch we have the place to hear something different from the MOR take or the left-of-left of NPR or the extremists on the so-called “independent” radio stations.

    This comic is a parody. Parodies are most effective when they have basis in truth. People get really mad when a parody shows them aspects of something they worship that aren’t favorable. Just like the fundamentalist Muslims that went ape-bleeep crazy over the European comics, some posters in this forum will call this comic a load of bleeep, and accuse the messenger of bias.
    
    Amazing how the human mind works.

    Randy, it seems to me that motorgoose provided just the example to prove your point. Did you plant him or something?

    Most people are just that oblivious.

    Another of my rules of thumb: Don’t assume a conspiracy or plot when events can be adequately explained by cluelessness and venality. Genius has its limits, but the scope and supply of its opposite are nearly infinite.

    That’s OK. The cold dead hearts meet on the State Of The Union page. Check it out, you will like it better there.

    By “balanced,” they must mean that half of it is taken out of context and the other half is made up entirely.

    All the women I see on the Fox News channel are now blonde. I demand more balance between fair hair and dark hair!

    I take it a lot of you think CNN is a better example of “Fair and Balanced”?

    These two channels have only one agenda - be a mouthpiece for their national political parties. News and reporting have nothing to do with it.

    Today FoxNews presented a panel of three people who gave their grades on Obama’s work at home and Obama’s foreign policy grade.

    Some guy gave him a B+ at home and a D abroad.

    Susan Estrich (!) gave him two A’s.

    Some woman from The HIll gave him two B’s.

    Honestly, that is exactly how FoxNews just presented Obama today on a 10:00 segment.

    This comic is not a “parody”…it is the work of a weak and biased mind. FoxNews is NOT a conservative station. It just gives conservatives a forum. Anyone who actually watches the channel knows this. And for some reason, it gets castigated in this light time and time again.
