Sure, why not?  They're honest and reliable.  It's not like they're Fox news.

Seriously, are there meetings or something you can attend to exorcise this bed wetting you and others seem to have over Fox News? I didn't even mention it, yet compulsively you threw that wholly irrelevant strawman out there.

Or, is it just that you yearn for the good ole days where the likes of Dan Rather/CBS could completely manufacture a story in order to influence an election without consequence or MSNBC announcers getting thrills up their legs over speeches. I could be wrong. Maybe you could link to me your posts in this forum showing the same level of disdain for that behavior.

Fox news is easily made fun of and apparently you take it personally.

Fox news is a sad excuse for international news and people are constantly fooled by it.  It damages people's grasp on reality and should be stopped.

It's there purely for entertainment and everyone should realize that.  They sell commercials by posting news that makes their audience feel better about their beliefs.

I take it personally? I rarely watch cable news. You, on the other hand, are obsessed with it. And since you seem so knowledgeable of how "sad" it is, I take it you watch it then? Or at least read about it?

And back on subject. Here is an article for those having trouble dealing with the notion that Obama might lose (which was a real joke to some in here last month). You are not alone.

I watched the morning show a few weeks back.  Give it a look.  You'll understand.

Maybe I will. But now, I am distracted by the deafening silence over your not being able to find your previous condemnation over other news source bias.  :P

You mean your sad attempt to get me to admit something?  OH NO's.  Fox news is a joke.  I haven't had much of a reason to condemn another because I've not seen the same damage coming from another source.

Have you seen the crazy that got elected 2 years ago thanks partially to that nut farm?  Seriously Guido. 

We've got dumbasses in congress who can't identify the 50 states much less decide the right way to vote for the betterment of the nation.  Fox news has done an amazing amount of damage.  They brought out the stupid in so many that our congress is in a constant flux of super-stupidity.

Sally Kern is still in power in Oklahoma because of these voters.  That is freaking scary.

We've got a dumbass in the white house that thinks we have more than 50 states. Did he get that from Fox news?

Seriously though, you have better retorts than that.

Quote"Some may believe we're on the road to the Hitler youth." --Glenn Beck, on teaching kids about climate change, Fox News's Glenn Beck show, Feb. 5, 2009

Quote"I could give a flying crap about the political process ... We're an entertainment company." --FOX News Channel's Glen Beck, Forbes interview; April, 2010

Quote"America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any attacks on American soil during that period of time." —Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling, forgetting 9/11 (July 2011)

Quote"This is what being president of the United States is all about. It's these tough, huge monumental decisions. It's not about how you run a campaign. It's not about whether or not you're popular. It's not about whether or not you're a celebrity, good looking, tall or short. It's in the time of crisis making these executive decisions. It's just like our job – from a day-to-day basis, a lot of times where there's big breaking news, we just sort of roll along. But what's the role of an anchor during huge breaking news? Remember growing up? You tune to the television, and during that one moment during the year, they would have to carry a story all alone. It's the same thing as being the President of the United States." --Fox News Channel's Gretchen Carlson, comparing her job hosting a talk show to being president (June 24, 2010)

QuoteThe following exchange between Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly took place during a November 2011 discussion in which they tried to downplay the impact of pepper spray on student Occupy protesters at UC Davis:
O'Reilly: "First of all, pepper spray—that just burns your eyes, right?"
Kelly: "It's like a derivative of actual pepper. It's a food product, essentially."

Gretchen Carlson graduated from Stanford and is a classically trained violinist but she acts like an idiot so the fox audience will relate to her.  If she used her intellect who knows what might happen to their audience in the morning?

Are you serious T? That's what you're reducing this to? Lifting quotes from Fox talent on a network that runs 24/7? You need to steer clear of Hoss for a while. And Hoss, you can pocket your critiques of what I post in here. I question whether you even know what "retort" even means.

On topic. Looks like there's a landslide coming...


QuoteVoters have figured out that President Obama has no message, no agenda and not even much of an explanation for what he has done over the past four years. His campaign is based entirely on persuading people that Mitt Romney is a uniquely bad man, entirely dedicated to the rich, ignorant of the problems of the average person. As long as he could run his negative ads, the campaign at least kept voters away from the Romney bandwagon. But once we all met Mitt Romney for three 90-minute debates, we got to know him — and to like him. He was not the monster Obama depicted, but a reasonable person for whom we could vote.
