Forgive this intrusion, Nick...but I've got a problem. I can't seem to get off the message page...just an occasional article post showing up...yours is the one. :0) Is everyone having this problem? Does anyone know what I can do about it? I've tried hitting News and Activism, Browse etc. It isn't working.

Is there a reason to post such garbage??

It's not garbage, it's the truth.
Fox used to be great, but over the last few months has become little but tabloid trash TV.
I can hardly watch it anymore, I've begun watching MSNBC just to get some real news.

[xrp]

Because it is 100% accurate?

[nickcarraway]

I don't seem to be having that problem. Don't know what it is.

[nickcarraway]

Why is it garbage?

[Mr. Mojo]

While Brit Hume and Tony Snow provide solid political analysis in the early evening....

And thank goodness for that. If not for Brit's excellent Special Report, FNC would be pure tabloid tv.

tabloid trash TV.

I agree. I don't watch it like I used to either. In fact, I left Fox and Friends because they keep flashing that obnoxious Britney video every chance they get. I don't want to see that crap. I now watch Imus in the Morning. At least I don't have to grab the remote to change X rated to family friendly.

I now watch Imus in the Morning. At least I don't have to grab the remote to change X rated to family friendly first thing in the morning.

[Mr. Mojo]

......although Cavuto and Gibson are worth watching as well.

FOX made me sick of tv, and I'm a boomer. I cancelled the cable service and now have NO tv at all, and it's mainly because of FOX with their incessant tabloid-level coverage of the Peterson case.
If it's making them $ and they want to become the Nat'l Enquirer of tv, fine. Maybe a good conservative network will arrive to fill the vacuum. Call it WVRW (Vast Right Wing) and I'll re-subscribe. :)

It seems that FOX has cut down its political analysis since the left attacked the integrity of the network.

One disturbing trend is the frequent appearance of Communists from the Nation who are paired to debate moderate republicans. Why is FOX giving these radicals so much time, and introducing them as if they are merely moderate Dims?

Last week, H and C had over 35 minutes of Jacko; O'R 26 minutes; Greta +30.

[xrp]

Greta's show just isn't worth watching.

[nickcarraway]

Greta spent that much time away from the Peterson case? Impossible. It should be called the Scott and Laci show.

[nickcarraway]

Should it be that surprising? Look at Rupert Murdoch's media in general.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

IMUS?

3 hrs of leftist media calling in and trashing Bush... Fineman, Gregory, Mitchell, Russert, et all.

[Lijahsbubbe]

FOX made me sick of tv,

I agree. The constant interruptions of 'Fox News Alerts', where they play the same alerts over and over for hours, and the constant rehashing of the tabloid story du jour is really getting hard to take.

When I found out about the soldiers being hit with stones in Iraq earlier, I turned on all 3 loser cable news channels to hear something. Nothing. It was Michael Jackson and other garbage. Disgusting.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Interspersed with NEWS. :0) I listen to the news.
