I don't watch Fox, I watch poor Katie on CBS, no more believable than any other newsclowns, but somewhat easier on the eye. Too bad what she's given to read has so little credibility. David |

David That may be true but her main function is not to see one party win elections and the other one lose them. That is what Fox is about. Getting republicans elected and getting the right wing agenda implemented when republicans are in the majority. Katie's main goal is to broadcast newsworthy information to the public. Her main goal isn't a political one. Fox's main goal is to promote the republican party. They and others can say otherwise but the facts speak for themselves. Fox makes no attempt to be fair or balanced at all. They do just the opposite. They are unfair and unbalanced. You may not watch it but I have, plenty, and it's all about one thing. It's totally political. The news is just an appetizer to get you to tune in. Once you do you get a full barrage of right wing politics crammed down your throat. Lots of people want that and I have no problem with us having networks that are political in nature. My complaint is they lie about it. If they simply called themselves the "Republican" network I wouldn't have anything negative to say about it except that I disagree with their political views. But they pretend to be unbiased. That's what I object to. Hawke |

Hawke Once again, you fail to show any way in which Fox is significantly different from the other networks, but only that it doesn't present the same lies and inaccuracies that you wish to believe. I would prefer a source that isn't biased either to the left or right, maybe the Onion network will work. I find the Onion as believable as much of what I read in more traditional print media.
