    Fox Boobs took a case to the Supreme Court and won a decision that they could not be punished for lying.

    That says it all.

    I don't know. Why don't you go check it out and we'll have at least half the question answered. I probably shouldn't say which half.

    I opened foxnews.com and cnn.com. They look the same. Dave must be having a slow day and is desperate to whine about something.

    If that is true, then cnn.com and msnbc.com are also for people who can't read. They look the same. Perhaps you should get some actual facts before instinctually whining about Fox News.

    It's OK, I know you can't help yourself.

    What all does it say? I think I should have the right to lie to people. Why shouldn't Fox News? Why shouldn't any other channel? At least that way, they have the same rights as politicians.

    That's part of it. They also cater to those who want to hear what they want to hear and in most cases, its the conservative mantra which most of them accustomed to hearing. The elderly just have be spoon-fed the news in most cases. Btw Fox has some of the most horrible graphics in the broadcast world.

    Well, whatever it is they are doing is (sadly) working on many; but it won't forever.

    Very dishonest post you just made. I sincerely hope you're not being honest about being a teacher.

    Interesting how liberals love to attack those that report ALL the news and don't suck up to Obama like most of the MSM.
    But I submit that in a truly free society we have to have critics of the government willing to call them out when they act badly. All I can say is thank God for FOX News for not being afraid to say the Emperor has no clothes.
    If I want to see why Obama is not to blame for Fast and Furious, Benghazi where 4 Americans died, the sluggish economy and rampant spending and borrowing, or the IRS targeting conservative groups with audits and refusal to grant tax exempt status, I will watch CNN. But if I want to see why Obama is where the buck stops or that he never seems to be in the know about anything his administration is doing, I watch Fox.
    It is really about perspective.

    Obama is lacking in leadership skills. No kidding some would say. He is in over his head and has been since he ran for the Oval Office. I do believe he meant well but the last thing any country needs in this day and age is a rank amateur. No duh?!?! Yet he did get into office. I believe that says more about us then about the persons running for various offices.

    Every newspaper in the country is generally written on a fifth grade level. Good job you are now condemning what has been standard practice since Newspapers were the only news source.

    If you watch their "crawls" over the video they feed out, you'll spot numerous errors in spelling and grammar. I've seen plenty over the years.

    Maybe you should "write some diction" here to show us how adults do it.
