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.
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.

All news in the US has a sensationalist slant. It's what engages advertisers and convinces them to advertise and titillates the audience. My best guess is that the views and statements expressed by talking heads on Fox resonates the least with your views and that's really why you single them out.
I don't agree that Fox has the greatest number of nutcases. I see them as pretty equally scattered amongst the networks. Frankly I'm not seeing anything specific from you on which we could discuss. Mostly just a venting of sentiment based on generalizations. I think best we can hope for is agreeing to disagree...except for US News in general sucking of course...
