My exact thoughts....

But I know someone will counter with some type of argument that all media is biased and blah, blah, blah.

Point is that we all know what Faux News is all about.

Because it's MUCH more efficient than any other viable alternative.

No, the counter argument is that while you may not agree with everything on fox, they do print news stories containing facts. This is an opinion piece, but it is loaded with verifiable facts about the state of the coal-fired electrical industry in our country. Or you could just stick your head in the sand and act like Obama isn't doing his best to bankrupt the fossil fuel industry to everyone's detriment (except his cronies in the green energy industry).

Thats what they lead people to believe, just like they say nuclear energy is clean and safe......

i love how people knock fox news and yet never seem to have a problem with huffington post, islamaphobia, or a random blog. come on guys. feel free to say that fox is biased, i honestly could care less. but you can't even pretend that fox is worse than half the junk that gets sourced on here.

Um....I don't agree with Faux on anything....period!

I can go as far as saying that most if not ALL news sources have some bias to them....

However, no one has perfected the art of spin, bias, and flat out LYING as Fox News.

I've been on so many arguments about them that I simply won't bother this time.

I won't be discussing on this subject because I'm not going to bother reading a story from those people.
