It's Sunday. Watch football or something on the Discovery channel.

Naw, all of the media want this to be a horserace for ratings purposes. Remember the 1980 "too close to call" election that ended up as a Reagan solid victory, sort of a mini-landslide? Kerry is toast!

Yeah, that channel is nuts. Everytime I watch them all they do is repeat the same stories over and over and over and over and over. I mean how many damn times are we going to have to listen about this Scott Peterson? We got men and women fighting over in Iraq, where are the stories about them? I am so sick to death of seeing this Petersons smirking pompous jackass face on that station, and also have a suspicion that trial is taken so long on purpose just so stations like Fox can stretch it out for all it`s worth. A friend of mine not 5 years ago was on a jury with exactly the same type of case, husband on trial for murder of his wife, and it took no longer than a month.

Correct, of course. If FNC just preached to the choir they'd be no different then the MSM.

Checking on poster bust's activity he seems to be an honest forum member, a lot of vanity posts though.

FoxNews doesn't look much different from CNN on the weekends. I finally dumped my cable and it's ridiculous bill because I couldn't justify 3 hours of FoxNews a day *Monday through Friday.* I miss Brit Hume, Neil Cavuto, and John Gibson but save a lot of money by checking out FR and listening to my favorite talk radios shows.

Whenever we watch the Fox news, a large black square covers the screen. It sometimes has letters or )) symbols at the top. The only way we can get it off is to change channels and then immediately go back to fox. Anyone know what this is about???

>Maybe they've decided that Kerry's going to win and they're trying to kiss up to him

Just the opposite.
They know the more people see
Kerry, the more they

hate him . . . Kerry is
like Jon Stewart -- Seeing him
more, hurts his ratings . . .

No it's not. It's correcting the record.

The thread stated one thing, I checked and saw another and THEN posted what I saw summing up with my conclusion based on the aforementioned that the thread should not exist.

That is completely different than the scenario you described.

Fox is just fine. We don't need to validate our position by showing hatred to the opposition. I'm tired of the whining about Fox not being as bent to the right as the others are to the left. That is a good thing! They report, we decide. Reporting should not include propaganda, either way. Fox has been good to us, in fact, it has put conservatives in much higher esteem throughout the world. That's why the left hate it so much. They need hatred to be cohesive. Like us, they are incapable of independent thought and need to be spoon-fed their opinions and why they hold such opinions .

FOXNews, like CNN, is not meant to be watched all day. They replay the news because it is meant to catch the people that tune in and out during the day.

If you're going to discuss me it is a courtesy to ping me.

I checked out Fox and saw a Bush rally. You could have posted your baseless complaint on an existing thread.

Simple answer - silence is golden. I haven't turned to Fox (or anyone else) all day.

My blood pressure is normal, my day is wonderful.

Thank Heaven for FR - I don't have to kerry's annoying voice!

I am watching all day today and they are playing Kerry clip after Kerry clip.

Go to Fox Network and watch the Cleveland/Philly game.
