4. I don't think they should be allowed to use the word "News" in their name.
Nothing about their operation rises to the level of "news" as people USED to understand the concept.

17. You'd lose.
Fox News went to court and won the right to lie to their audience:
"During their appeal, Fox News asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves."

19. It's all in the nuances
Granted, they say they have a right to distort the truth. But when they call it news, it is a lie.

We're in bad shape when John Oliver has more credibility than Fox and Fiends (teabagger-style spelling deliberate here).

7. This is just great. But,
the fact that Fox News is pure misinformation isn't close to as widely known as I would like it.

Fox is still the channel of choice in every fucking commercial establishment you walk into in Ohio. It is pathetic. Millions of Americans eat up every utterance out of Beck and Bill-O's mouths.

9. "Some People Say"
Shows how Fox News uses the phrase 'some people say' to insert unsourced opinion into news briefs. As seen in Outfoxed.

10. Great Clip! The title had me angry BEFORE I watched it, but now I get it...
I was ready to pounce and say to call Fox News "willfully ignorant" is to give them a pass for terrible misinformation; as if suggesting they don't spread their continuous loop of lies on purpose. Now I understand the title is referring to a comment in the clip about the VIEWERS being willfully ignorant. THAT is 100% accurate :)

12. P.S. -
"Some are saying" Glenn Beck is secretly hiding a stable of malnourished, underage boys in his basement, which he uses for sexual gratification. Is it true? Uhh...I don't know! (See how easy it is to spread wildly unsubstantial and potentially damaging lies.) ;)
