    No, left DOES watch Faux. I do, sometimes, but not for "news", only to hear the right wing talking point of the day. Faux is a successful business model but is inherently right wing propaganda.
    Face it, there are many studies out there indicating idiocy of Faux News viewers and you cannot refute any of them.

    OSU research: Bigots on Faux Noise turn Muslims' community center in NY into a phony controversy.

    :omg: You're serious! LOL! You have much to learn about the American political experience. Google might help. I look forward to your continuing education on this subject.

    Because they never claimed to be fair and balanced news! They are what they claim to be: "Jackass"! I have no problem with Fox News if only they change their slogan; Fair and Balanced is a big pile of crap.

    Typical Lib BS. If you are capable check out the Fox ratings. They get more viewers than all over cable news AND the other so-called main stream media News channels combined. Oh yeah all those millions who watch Fox are 'real dumb' LOL.

    So your issue is about integrity. A sound principle.

    So, given that Kardashian pledged an oath to her husband to be married, faithful etc., only to dump the guy first chance, would that be an integrity issue? Did she do it for money?

    Now there is your Kardashian integrity thread right there. If I set it up for you would you come and comment?

    Some of those millions are the parents of these people who claim FOX viewers are stupid. If their mama only knew.

    I knew what caused "tides" when I was 12; so yes, O'Reilly and his listeners are STUPID.

    I never ever watched Kardashians, and not sure how and why I am supposed to defend them!!! If your point is that Faux is as idiotic as Kardashians, then you are right my friend.

    I often use the cheeseburger analogy; McDonalds claims to sell the most but what would you rather eat, a quality fillet steak or mystery meat?

    Here's some more of O'Reilly's genius. Why they employ this cretin is beyond me: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUbehCWwBr0"]The Credibility of Bill O'Reilly - YouTube[/ame]

    McDonal's claims to be #1 against their competitors selling a comparable product.

    Can you or any lib sell a quality fillet steak for the same price as a Big Mac?

    You just made my point for me. Thank you. It's about a quality product as opposed to cheap crap. Think The Times of London vs. National Enquirer. I know which I'd prefer to read. The same applies to TV.

    Ugh that video makes me sick to my stomach. And more because of Olbermann than O'Reily. What ever happened to real journalism? MSNBC is as big of a violator as fox is. That's why they're just as low in this study.

    I guess it's about meek acceptance of increasingly low standards. If you don't buy the newspapers or watch the crap they put out they'll soon get the idea. Money talks...

    You are describing a society of scoundrels and peasants. You better ask to return to the Empire: you've been wasting everyone's time.

    In America we have printed publications comparable to the Times of London or the Economist.

    But they are not competing with a cable news channel either left right or center.

    It's an entirely different product.

    What "Empire"? The British are all but forgotten in this world. Like anyone cares what a bunch of fish & chips-eating barn swallows have to say in the matter of world affairs anymore. Yeah, I liked the job you guys did in the Falkland Islands; the last time that the British "Empire" tried to kick some ass and ended up getting your royal asses handed to you on a platter. :-D

    Crap to Democrats, that's for sure. Democrats have been bad mouthing Fox every since Obama started running for President. Liberal radio bad mouths them as much as they do Republicans. So we take what they say with a grain of salt. We know they want to put down the only station that leans Right.

    Oh, good - I've given you a chance to rant some of your your perpetual silliness by making a joke! The world as football teams! How fatuous! And would you poisonous b's stop kicking your poor donkeys, just because they are brighter than you! :) As for the UK, it could provide a Queen for you peasants, which is what you need. But ohne mich, kid.

    Quit fearing Fox News.

    And in any case, it's the only place to hear the Conservative side of things accurately.

    And since Liberals put the Golden Rule first as they should, they should also appreciate that Fox is the most loving channel. (even Hannity, who is over-the-top partisan)

    All that proves is that the left likes to pretend they and they alone get to define truth and fact in news. What really kills the left is the public's refusal to play the game.

    MSNBC is incomparably slimier than Fox.

    Liberalism allows slimy as long as the sliminess is in support of Liberalism.

    I've heard it said that Liberalism is the trailer trash of the mental realm. I think I can believe that.

    Well Celica, what you miss is that people who listen to a channel to find out what is WRONG with it has a psychological problem in the first place.

    I sure as heck wouldn't spend my time watching MSNBC to see what losers they or liberals are.

    The fact that liberals will spend their time in such a negative mud hole as watching others to see what's WRONG with them, says the volumes about liberals that the public needs to know about liberals.

    No offense.

    That's the problem with right wing loons: they can't even acknowledge reality. You want to sit here and deny the existence of "Climate Change"? That's fine. But you can't deny the FACT a huge majority of scientists (almost all of them) believe in "Man-made Climate Change". But you do, because you watch Faux Propaganda Network; and, this is what Faux is good at: repeating a lie over and over until their cult believes it!

    Truth?.......News?.......the two are a long way away from each other when 24 hour cable news is involved.
