Not really fair or honest is it?
I don't watch Fox News often. I look at everything objectively, not using my own bias. A lot of the pundits at Fox clearly have their heads up their asses, just like CNN or MSNBC. They're called the Mainstream Media, and instead of bringing real news to the people, they bring DRAMA. People like drama. They like hearing about scandals and controversies. IMO, the MSM has done this with Ron Paul and found hardly any dirt on him, none of which is actually anything he actually wrote or agrees with.

However, if you are going to criticize FOX, then also realize that CNN and MSNBC also report with a bias agenda and with skewed facts.

MSNBC is almost worse than FOX in my opinion. I'd like a new channel that actually is fair and balanced. One that doesn't spin the news the way FOX does. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a demand for one. People want the news to agree with them and prefer the TV to make them feel as though their opinions are correct.

Libertarian's seem to be the most rational when it comes to approaching a situation. They have a reasonable solution to most problems because the constitution was forged pretty well. Personally though, I think we should just start over. There are too many ways for our existing constitution to be exploited and too many people who exploit it. We really need to put everything on hold , and bring in some new laws to protect the people. Every election just seems like a contest as to who can scam the american people the best.
I agree that other networks can be just as bad, but cmon. Fox takes the cake for nutcases. This is a primary reason I rarely watch the news anymore. I generally try to get my news from Digg or Reddit or some non partisan site.
