    LMAO, of course, use a site that is completely slanted. Anything to reassure their slant.

    AND SO PBS GET'S MANY MEGABUSINESSES CONTRIBUTIONS (you know those BASTIONS of capitalism). Gollleeee, maybe even MULTIMILLIONAIRES like quality programming! Go figure. Here is a list of PBS' top donors...(most of their monies funneled through CORPORATE derived h FOUNDATIONs)...

    FORD - the 'car' business
    ARTHUR DAVIS VINING - owned a little operation called ALCOA
    KNIGHT (well they own 'press' so they are probably LIBERAL)
    McARTHUR (insurance and real estate)
    ADOBE (you know--the ones probably helping making this board run)
    REVSON (I'll assume they are STILL the 'makeup' people)
    ANNIE E. CASEY (using their mothers name, this family founded a little operation called UPS)
    GOLDMAN FUND (until recently, an insurance company)
    NEWMANS OWN (of course 'a liberal' who owned a food COMPANY)
    and on and on and on ("and viewers like" me).

    Yep, those LEFT WING PBS supporters can't be trusted.

    (Idiocy on this board, too often, is astonishing!)

    I find it hard to believe that they would have two tiers for cable news. Please tell me what is the name of your cable company? I would like to check that out.

    Fox has a dedicated fan base, and name recognition--so this isn't really surprising. Let's not forget that other polls have found their fan base is the least informed, go figure.

    The Kelly file tonight on Fox has a good program on these thousands of immigrant kids who has crossed over and are being kept in these caged warehouses. There are so many of them many are having legs on top of other kids. Kelly say Obama has forbidden anymore pictures of these kids. Tune in. I'm sure you won't see it on MSNBC

    I'd like to see the source on this story, not because I think the premise is crazy, but the assertion that "Obama" is censoring it seems polemic.

    Im not surprised by this at all.

    Most other stations are too concerned with helping hillary get elected and defending obama.

    Theres hardly any time left to report accurate news.

    I regularly watch Fox News for comedic value, so I may stumble upon it.

    WILL REPEAT, 2 tiers up for 10 years--$40 - $50 MORE A MONTH to get the cable package that included MSNBC. One of the BIGGY cable companies. But you think I am LYING about this--for what POSSIBLE reason??

    And watching Fox makes you LESS informed than watching no news at all.

    Fox news cherry picks the fact to support their POV.. They seem to think Americans are stupid and easily led... and maybe they are right.. But, what is certain is that they have identified their audience among the poorly educated who want easy answers and absolutes.

    Sorry Fox watching Americans, but your show is made for idiots. No one can help you. One day reason and logic will enter your life.

    Fox news and MSNBC makes you dumber. It's comfort brain food. It tells you only what they believe you want to hear. That's why you tune in. If you actually want to be informed on issues listen to NPR, BBC and Al Jazeera.

    In my opinion, there is no such thing as a trusted source for news. The reason I choose FNC is because they report on events the rest of the media won't cover. It's much more an indictment of those media outlets that refuse to cover stories than of FNC for giving certain stories so much attention because they're harmful to the left's agenda. The IRS scandal should be front page on the NY Times until it's resolved. This is an egregious abuse of power that should alarm every news organization in the country. The way the press allows the administration to drag them around on a leash, and then tying them off on a fence post whenever it feels like leaving them out is just embarrassing.

    We live in the age of the internet. There is no such thing as news that isn't covered anymore.

    Although Fox News is impeccably accurate, it's news tells things that the American should not know about, accurate or not. President Obama should not allow dissent and interference in his goal of saving America. He should use his executive power to ban Fox.

    What did you think when you learned that the BBC didn't take the Benghazi story seriously until it was verified by ABC? Here, a BBC editor claims he ignored the cover up charges because they were coming from right wing news sources. It wasn't until ABC reported on certain documents that the BBC paid attention.

    This is the kind of serious investigative journalism you subscribe to?

    Commentators are wrong at times on every single news station, and everyone is wrong at one time or another.

    Since none of the corporate owned news sources are reliable, it sounds like asking;

    Who would you trust the most to watch your dog if you had to go away for the weekend.

    A. A Korean butcher living in Korea.

    B. "Michael Vick".

    C. Hitler.

    If those were your only choices who would you trust, and none of the above is not a possibility. :roflol:

    Hate to break it to you but no one takes Benghazi seriously outside of a news organization trying to stir up trouble for the democratic party. It was a tragic event. Not a malicious one. No one has lost their job or has been arrested as a result. And no one ever will be. It's not a real issue.

    It was made up by a news organization that wanted to politicize the tragic death of 4 Americans.
