    nice disingenuous retort; we aren't talking about free speech, we are talking about journalistic integrity

    Ah the weekend is here; time to relax, watch Fox News Weekend Edition, examine how Presdient Bush is going to get his first nomination to the U.S. Surpreme Court, and enjoy the freedom of the Fourth of July!

    Fox News: It's Fair, It's Balanced, and It's Unafraid!

    Hannity (Republican) and Combs (Democrat)
    Fair & Balanced!

    I think the only problem with Fox News is that because it is fair Liberals don't quite know how to accept it; they've dealt for so long with media twisted liberal that any news show broadcasting a balanced opinion (both sides) twists their panties into a knot!

    If anyone hasn't seen Outfoxed, I strongly recommend it.

    One man's right-wing drivel is another's fair & balanced coverage.
    FNC is kicking butt in the above ratings link, 75% ahead of the other 4 newschannels combined! O'Reilly is 20% ahead of the other 4 combined.
    Other networks would kill for FNC's numbers, but aren't willing to put their own (liberal) biases aside & give the people what they want.

    how much fox"news" do you think i'm watching in amsterdam? that wasn't the point anyway

    besides, i love your neg rep comment - as the classless clown who so proudly displayed the abu gharib teapot avatar, you being offended by my sig is just priceless

    quick bit of advice: purchase a US flag made of flannel... that way, you can stay really warm when you wrap yourself in it

    I'll bet that it wouldn't be that hard to find the German Bill O'Reilly

    Have you ever in your life even heard of the word "sensationalism?"

    There are many critical flaws in what you just said.

    The issue isn't ratings. The issue is truth.

    Yeah, the problem is that Fox is more interested in ratings then anything. Whatever keeps the right-wing wackos happy...
