1. It's hard to pick the
"worst" part. All of it equally disgusts me.

38. Good point. Susan Estrich is probably the worst offender .
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 05:19 PM by Eric J in MN
She goes on as a supposed liberal, but agrees with the conservatives.

And she's paid to be there, and has used the money to justify her going on Fox.

Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 10:11 AM by autorank
...but you can always throw something. Some times I think of DeNiro in Taxi Driver when he simply kickek TV off the wooden crate in disgust. It's that kind of thing.

20. I second that, he drives me nuts...
The few times I have watched Fox's Sunday Morning show, Brit was shaking his head while Juan Williams, who is weak, but right in this instance, was making a point. He was shaking it dismissively and it just pissed me off to see him act so smug. If I ever was on a show like that, I might hit somebody like Brit Hume. Guys like that really jerk my chain. At least O'Reilly and Hannity act crazy enough to where you can't take them seriously. Brit and Bill Kristol pretend they are the supreme word on everything. Like they know something 99 percent of the rest of the world don't know.

30. The claim "Fair and Balanced"
That alone is a lie worthy of being slammed by both sides and the constant accusation of yellow and irresponsible journalism.

Then again I do believe in free speech. We just need someone public and mainstream to debunk them at every turn: someone on another news channel.

45. The worse part is when folks don't watch it, just let it run...
Its when it Fox just prattles on as backround noise. It works as a subliminal form of brainwashing for the unsuspecting.

If a reasonably intelligent person WATCHES the programming on Faux, than the political bias is very evident.

But it will slowly start to drill into ones mind subconsciously if left on while working around the house.
