The difference between Fox News Channel and The Daily Show on Comedy Central is; The Daily Show on Comedy Central is Comedy pretending to be news... Whereas Fox News Channel is just pretending to be news.
Such heroic nonsense!

All televised media and I are bitter enemies.

The Internetz has served me well, and we are considering having children at this point in our relationship.

So is it news? Technically. Good, true, honest, unbiased? Rarely from what I've viewed.

But then again, I don't even tend to watch FOX, MSNBC, CNN, any of them. But that's just me favoring a wide variety of online sources that are easily comparable and much less likely to be biased towards one viewpoint--opposed to news companies that are paid to do their job, and rarely lack bias.

But again, that's just from my perspective on the said news stations.

I see an opportunity in the market for some sort of.... sensible conservative news channel, where everyone uses reason and logic and doesn't resort to hate and yelling to try and make their points...

It would be "Too Liberal" for the majority of conservative viewers, who unfortunately seem to currently be comprised of Teabaggers.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Only because the other side resorts to the same hate and yelling to try and "make their point".

Olbermann aside, I've never seen that out of MSNBC, CNN, or HLN. Of course, I rarely watch TV.

Stewart? Stewart's got nothing to say of any interest.

Why on earth would anyone bother wasting that much of thier life?

BTW, I don't watch ANY "opinion" or "Talk" show. I do sometimes listen on the radio, but that's when I'm driving or otherwise so engaged.


You sir lack a sense of humor. I feel deeply sorry that you suffer such a deficiency in your personality.

Fox News is news, apparently, but to my eternal disappointment there don't appear to be any foxes involved in its production. Not even people in fox suits. Is my whole world a lie? :(

I find Eastern news quite funny. Western news is usually not controlled by the gov. so you do not get as many lies in their.
