4. I couldn't get past the first 2 minutes.
Trash, and a waste of my time IMO.

But a website exposing Fox's lies is always a great thing.

Welcome :)

5. I saw this today
I saw the Brenda Butner/Ann Coulter interview today and was going to post about it here, I swear it. Never heard anything like it and I was about to change the channel, but couldn't believe my ears.

Brenda was not asking questions of Ann, even easy ones. She was framing the interview by repeating points in Ann's book and agreeing with them, then Ann would get to expound. Brenda would say like (and this is not verbatim but close)- 'Ann, the Democrats just have no ideas and really don't want to fight the terrorists, right?' Then Ann would say, 'Yes, Brenda,......'.

Never heard anything on FoxNews like it and I've heard plenty of set-up interviews there, but nothing like this.

6. Wow, I knew they were biased, but not that biased.
They might as well dress up in cheerleader outfits and do R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N cheers.

11. Did you say "fairly unbalanced"?
If so, you'd be right.

It's funny. neo-con shill sites like NewsBusters or RightWingNuthouse (aptly named or what?), obsess over perceived "mainstream media bias" (so much so it's reduced to a "MSM" acronym). Yet, not a peep out of them on Fox News which, regardless of political bent, one has to admit is nothing but an conservative mouth organ. Even my conservative friends who are glued to it nightly grudgingly admit it's heavily biased.

Of course, it's run by Roger Ailes, the former executive producer of Rush Limbaugh's TV show. So what can we expect?
