You should have said that Fox does report the truth and that is such a change in media that the Rats just don't know what to do about it.

Another thought would be to ask him to give and example, being cornered always shuts them up.

"Would Bush's approval ratings be this high if Fox News was reporting what's really going on over in Iraq?"

A better question, is wouldn't Bush's rating be much higher if news stations other than Fox honestly reported on the successes in Iraq?

Confusing FNC with primetime FOX shows, most likely.

Go to Foxnews.com. Read Neil Cavutos "Common Sense" article about the reporting on Iraq. I believe there was even a thread about it on FR yesterday. It was fantastic and right to the point. It should/could quite any doubts of our heroic soldiers over there and the important mission they are set out to accomplish.

Fight the good fight.....and let Neil Cavuto help you.

Kids are smarter than we give them credit for. Any objective viewer can see Fox has been worthless since Bush took office. I turned Fox on and threw the remote away under klintoon, it's useless unless you want to hear nothing but pro Bush propaganda now.

Many libs obsessed with Fox. Easier than making arguments and learnin' things. The obsession is also tacit admission they feel the media is their turf alone, and "conservative" Fox is a threat to it.

You should tell them they shouldn't have sour grapes becuase FOX is the #1 news channel, and that their idol, CNN is sinking.

Forget the 'Non-Media',.........President Bush and Our Troops have Iraq under 99% CONTROL......!!!

Stay the coarse!!

Forget the U.N. etc.

The U.S.A. already has WON the new freedom for the NOW FREE PEOPLES of IRAQ.

WE and the NEW IRAQ PEOPLES GOVERNMENT ARE IN 99% CONTROL NOW,.....but......our 'Non-Media' will NOT report the TRUTH.

Turn the T.V. Iraq news 'off' for now,......we HAVE Won the freedom!!!

YOu should have reminded them of Jordan Eason's admission that CNN lied about Iraq, hiding how evil the Saddam Hussein regime was.

"After class, one of my friends remarked that Fox News, like other cable news channels, was really sketchy and shouldn't even be classified as "news."

Nearer the end of your life you will be able to count your "friends" on one hand. [if you're lucky]

The one above won't be in that number, believe me.

In the 70's I was working in the oilfield and finishing my degree at night after three years in the Army. In a political science class the kid next to me found out what I did and asked if I supported nationalized oil? I said hell no and his reply was “well the smartest guy I know, who lives next to my dad, has a bumper sticker that says: If You Like The Post Office, You’ll Love Nationalized Oil, so I know it’s good because everyone loves the postal service.”

I believe he took great offense to me calling him a damn fool. Just because you’re in college doesn’t make you bright. Remember many will never graduate and 50% of those who do are in the bottom half of the class!

it is now the ultimate in insults to tell someone they are a Foxnews watcher

It is just the college liberal speaking atmosphere.

If they the students, dont become professors, then they will be one us when the start off on their career.
Providing they dont go and work for the sierra club

I've recently heard FOX referred to as "hate tv," much like conservative talk radio has been labeled "hate radio." If leftists don't like something they merely insert the word "hate" as a prefix. Very convenient.

Often, I find it makes them get really irrational and desperate. The nonsense that spews at that point is *really* amusing.

Today in my communications class, one of the students said something to the effect of

Well, if this is a High School class, I'd just beat the crap out of him after school. That's what we did to all the losers.
