8. It may be because MSNBC is now like 24/7 Obamapodding
Fox has 6 times the viewers and seemingly more balanced info.

Ta ta...

12. I think we should
I think we should all watch Fox News, complile a list of its advertisers, and start a movement to boycott all of them if they don't pull their advertising. I, myself, will have to do it with the mute button on because I have a weak stomach, but I'm willing to sacrifice if it could bring an end to the evil empire that is Fox.

13. You should see the breathless reports some of the HRC boosters post here about what Rush & Sean are
babbling about on any given day - they loves them some "Hannitizing" or "dittoheading" now that those two right-wing ass-hats are attacking Senator Obama every other second.

And when called on it they act all innocent and feign mock outrage with the phony "we've got to keep up with what the enemy is saying" line.

21. OK.. I see your post up there. But..
What is the big deal? Every one does the same as I. I'm sure you do too. Thats why people say it as you say. And thats why you know it because you do the same thing.
And Fox has ALWAYS been the anti-Dem channel. So I and others have ALWAYS watched to see what they are saying.. Nothing new there..

And I bet you will eat lunch tomorrow.
I wish I could be there to tap you on your shoulder to say "You proved my point, LOL, LMFAO BWAAAHAHHHAAAAAA!!!!"

You are not as insightful as you think you are.
Don't be a smart as junior.

23. I am in my eighth year of boycotting Fox News
There's not much one person can do when an entity such as Fox allows the cousin of a presidential contender to call the deadlocked race for the family. I am surprised about the extent to which I have been able to maintain this boycott; but even when my political hero, Al Gore, appeared, I did not make an exception.

I regret that all Democrats did not do the same, but there are of course those who purport we need to keep our eye on what exactly Fox is doing. I can't argue with those who make this argument; I personally just refuse to patronize Fox.

Sam
