Instead of calling them The Fox News channel why don't we just call them The Looney Tunes channel. XD

Senator John Cornyn believes he is only the Senator of Texans who voted for him. He is to listen to the concerns and questions of all his constituents. I got banned from his site because they could not face the fact that there are all sides to every issue. Join the board and make your voices be heard! http://www.facebook.com/Sen.JohnCornyn?ref=search&sid=100000415407212.3620577104..1

The POX Noise Fraud-cast has never given a rip about truth. Murdoch's minions are fear profiteers. They frequently mislead, lie, and then deny! Try not to be shocked or surprised that they're this blatantly deceitful. All they know are the ways of treachery and treason.

Be scared. Be very scared. The Republicans have begun their plan nine form outer space by sending Rupertmelons and Palinalopes as seed pods to replace our Democrat, child-aborting, anti-war and atheist minds and bodies with Republican versions of ourselves that will watch Faux News. Don't go to sleep. They'll destroy us. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

On November 19, co-host Jane Skinner apologized for Happening Now "mistakenly" airing a fake video of Sarah Palin's book tour "crowds." This was not the first time Fox News has apologized for airing fake videos and false information.

If you're watching or listening to FOX, you should always KNOW you're getting lies and/or entertainment rather than news. By now, only those who choose to remain ignorant are unaware of this.

This is just the new "death panels" - to distract from the real healthcare reform debate - getting people to expend themselves on what's NOT in the legislation.

The news media's relentless hyping of the Palin "phenomenon" obscures an essential fact: Sarah Palin is extremely unpopular.

There are computer programs that can (are claimed to) detect a writer's style... so in a book substantially ghosted by another writer, it can tell who wrote what.

do you guys even watch college ball? See ESPN, they had USC way up in the polls before they lost to Stanford. Sportscasters never get it right, especially Pat Forde. So this really isn't news.
Woody Hayes hated both scUM and Michigan State so this has a bit of accuracy, so yes Ohio State would be happy to beat them both.

On the November 19 Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy advanced the misleading claim that there has "never" been "an enemy combatant" who "was tried in a civil court." In fact, Jose Padilla was a U.S. citizen who was held as an enemy combatant for three years before being tried in a civil court.

Fox & Friends Doocy and Greta Carlson lie constantly. The talking points get faxed down to them and they just repeat them. It seems some people just turn their brains off.
