Fox news doesn't have fact checkers
They have opposition researchers. I don't why i couldn't piece it together in my head until now but Brit Hume was talking about the vote on the Shumer amendment and instead of disucssing the merits of it all he did was attack Shumer.

Yes i know Fox is the forth branch of government but it clicked for me today that Fox is more then propaganda, they are a danger.

2. Facts are unimportant
to the right. Dictatorship is the goal. Lies are a tool to achieve that end.

3. You must have a iron cast stomach and a bullet proof TV
My stomach would be destroyed along with my TV if I had to watch Brit Fume.
I would do an Elvis on my TV

5. some people say ............
..... that Fox news plants stories by disguising propaganda as questions.

They get their talking points from Creative Response Concepts & the RNC.

Some people say that a national broadcaster for fox is gay and lives in
a cover marriage ..........

His name is **** *******. You know how much I want to out that guy?

8. Personally....
I find that CNN has the most flubs in their reporting, but that is just me.

Anyone agree?

9. um, no
cnn is corporate controlled for sure, but fox is outright propoganda. they ignore stories that are critical of the chimp and fabricate stories to make the chimp look good or the dems look bad. i'm not sure how any sane person could ever think that cnn is more unreliable than fox.
