    The font is huge, they always have an enormous graphic at the top of the page (almost always decrying Obama), and the diction is clearly written for those with a 5th grade education.

    They're clearly catering to people who can't see/think well, right?

    Your terrible spelling and grammar has made your post incomprehensible; are you an editor for Fox News?

    It is obvious to me.

    These libs. So classic, with their false sense of grandeur.

    That would be because there are no errors; I'm a high school English teacher. While I do make mistakes, they're generally not made on this board where the sentences are so simplistic.

    Gee, let me guess, you don't like Fox. lol
    If you want the other side of the political story, watch Fox. If you want to here lies and miss the real news, and remain ignorant, watch everyone else.

    Guy subscribes to conspiracy theories that would have even glenn beck sheepishly offering HIM a tinfoil hat.

    I've noticed what you describe about foxnews, it does cater to people who don't see or think well. The most noticeable change i've seen is the removal of the "comments" section that used to be available on all of their articles. Now, many of them no longer have it. For instance, it wasn't uncommon to see an article pertaining about Obama to be utterly FLOODED with racist drivel and nutty off-the-wall comments that clearly came from a mentally ill conservatives. I'm talking really wacky, heartless, and downright evil stuff. One example I recall was pertaining to a story regarding a state Democratic congressmen who passed away unexpectedly, the avalanche of sick and demented comments that were attacking this democrat who had passed away was endless. Foxnews took steps to prevent this kind of stuff, certain words were automatically blocked out, like the word "black" for instance (that's how bad it was :roll:). Guess they just gave up altogether, realized that many of their viewers were racist simpletons, and simply eliminated comments entirely.

    You sure pay a lot of attention to Fox's webpage format. Maybe a hobby is in order.

    No, not exactly. Like the channel, itself, it's simply designed for people who don't live in New York or California. Also known as the rest of the country.

    I would have used "vocabulary" rather than "diction." Other than that, maybe the right wingers are a bit put off by someone's having used such complex elements of style (such as the way you enclose thoughts within parentheses) without error when so many of them still have trouble not breaking their crayons when they scribble their names on their English text books.

    You forgot to mention the liberal haven of the Peoples' Republic of Cambridge, Ma, better known as Havid Square or Taxachusetts where such notable leftists such as john kerry, tip o'neil, ted kennedy and barnie (fa**ot) frank were known to hang out and drink the kool-aid. Look, these libs are jealous that the only right wing NEWS STATION on the airwaves continuously out rates all of the other un/anti American agitprop so-called news outlets. They never lie on FOX and it is really the only fair and balanced NEWS sation on the airwaves. FOX is the only station that has its fair share of leftist politicoes taking up space on the air, which gives more credibility to the slogan..."Fair and Balanced." I don't see these libs coming to praise the fathead (crybaby) ed shultz, or to the lesbo rachel madcow, or to the socialist lawerence o'donnell or to that "I've got a tingle going up my leg for obama" chris matthews. Just saying. :spin:

    So you're implying that if you don't live in New York or California, you're blind/stupid?

    No Dave, you're confused again. That's MSNBC you're think of.

    Dave in replying to Unifier: "So you're implying that if you don't live in New York or California, you're blind/stupid?"

    Gee, Dave, has your city gone bankrupt, yet. No one from California should ever, ever call anyone stupid. It's just opens them to abuse. I hope you're not really a school teacher. They have enough trouble with public opinion already. As for New York, I make a distinction between the aliens in New York city and the surrounding area and the rest of New York State. Alabany is a cesspool but some on the upstate folks are quite bright, responsible, and decent.

    Of course, Dave, the popularity of Fox News, as opposed to MSNBC, should tell you something. I'll leave it to you to figure out what that is. You can think about it for two mnnths and get it wrong.

    Solid rebuttal. Let me know when you get out of the "I'm rubber, you're glue" stage of adolescent development.
