| Here's a pretty good article on Hume and Fox in general. Even their "liberals" aren't really what they appear to be. The Most Biased Name in News | |

| Most news is crap...if it wasn't there would be no real market for Fox news. It exists so we that tilt to the right can have our own crap. | |

Obviously, I don't think he deserved to die...he had a newborn and beautiful young wife...but, the police had to do something, because the 3 or 4 on the scene couldn't restrain him.
I don't even know if the officers went to trial or not...but, if they did, I was curious if LG was involved in any way. | |

| You guys crack me up... honestly.
LG, you think Fox News isn't "fair and balanced" because it doesn't go along with your political views. You haven't said one single word about any of the other networks, not one. I sometimes watch MSNBC just for a laugh, but honestly when I watch it or any of the other networks I'm ready to throw something at the tv. Fox usually tries to give you both sides of the story, whereas any of the other networks will have 3 liberal commentators, then put one somewhat conservative up there and let the other 3 hammer him. Is that fair and balanced?
There is a reason Fox News is number 1 in the cable ratings. I'm sure you'll have some glib comment about it being a bunch of hicks watching it, but people are getting tired of the liberal agenda the media has. Would all the controversies with Obama had come out if not for Fox and talk radio? Doubtful. The guy has gotten a free pass and you know it.
I know it's all a matter of relativity; if it were up to me there would be no libs on Fox at all, they have every other network. You think it's too far right because it's not like every other network. Keep in mind, Fox is owned by Murdoch, one of the biggest libs out there.

The funny thing is that most who criticize Fox News do so because they don't agree with what they are hearing . . . then they tune to another channel that is saying things they agree with. | |

Libs control everything else. And quoting FAIR? Please.

| These people make a living advancing other people's agendas. What they actually care about is how many hits their kid had in little league yesterday, same as you. Why give their commentary so much weight? Relatively speaking, what they think matters no more than what my neighbor thinks, or you guys for that matter... | |
