Ok, seriously now, what is good about Fox news?

[Archae]

Sure, we love bashing away at them, and they deserve it almost all the time.

But they do have some good points.

One, they update their web page with news alerts quicker than anyone else.

[RB TexLa]

1. get AP text alerts on your phone they are faster than any webpage

3. I don't have a cellphone.

2. Their polls are pretty good

How Fox spins the polls on TV is different from the polling methodology.

4. Shephard Smith lighting into Bill Kristol

He actually sounded serious about it, too

10. Had kind of a bad September

But we survived. Other than that. Here I sit. Raging against the machine with my DU brothers and sisters. Got a decent job I could have? B-)

6. They make me feel smart

Cuz they're so stupid

[brettdale]

8. Theres nothing good about them

Nothing at all.

[LostInAnomie]

9. They are a good example of everything that is wrong with the media.

Vapid spokesmodel newscasters
Infotainment
Biased presentation
Heavy use of dishonest conjectures: "Some people say", "Viewers are asking", "Cavutoing"
Heavy focus on ratings
Heavy reliance on pundits and biased views instead of actual experts

12. The Simpsons come on that channel eventually

there's two.

[and-justice-for-all]

13. Nothing comes to mind...

[uppityperson]

14. They make you feel all warm and fuzzy and happy.

that is what my child said late Sept 2001, they were the happy news station. He loathes them now, cannot believe he thought that, but then, he used to like Lawrence Welk also.

[gumby]

15. Gives Keith Olberman

a really, really good target.

[joeygirl]

16. Watching Juan Williams get into it

with Bill Kristol and Brit Hume. Or as I say, the only reason to watch Fox News Sunday. :bounce:

[StellaBlue]

17. If you're safely living in Europe and used to quality TV news

they are quite the comedic relief

My ex used to get angry at me for watching it, just for laughs. After four years in the UK, I couldn't believe Americans could take it seriously. It's like one long SNL skit.

And when I came back I really DID think Nancy Grace was an SNL skit.

[dkofos]

18. They lie with a straight face

They catapult the propaganda for the pResident
They are clueless talking heads

what's not to like
