The “Fox News Is Stupid and Evil” article is by now its own genre of journalism, albeit one that almost nobody does very well. In the course of attempting to enlighten some not especially bright Democrats earlier this week — hola, @mcspocky! — I went looking through a few of the so-called studies that purport to demonstrate that Fox News viewers are deeply and uniquely misinformed about public affairs. They are mostly horsepucky, as I demonstrated with this assortment of dim-witted accounts of the PunditFact “study” (which is not a study) of disputed Fox News statements, the authors of which rightly warn against using it to make general conclusions about Fox News, inasmuch as the data sample is admittedly arbitrary and biased — not out of malice or bad faith, but because the very structure of such fact-checking columns ensures that it is so, among other things by examining only disputed statements.

>>If that is “nuts” then why is it that Obama has refused to release his school records? Why has he released two “birth certificates” which both have serious forensics issues, along with a selective service form that is an obvious forgery? Why won’t Obama allow the originals of any of these documents to be examined by actual experts? The way this has all been handled raises a lot of questions. So who is “nuts”? People who would like to see meaningful verification from someone who has been known to be a serial liar for all of his adult life? Or those who accept the claims of serial liar without any meaningful verification? We live in a topsy turvy world when common sense is called “nuts”.
Count me among the nuts.
I’m as skeptical of Fox News as I am of any other network. However, I do view them as an antidote to the liberal blather so much in evidence on the other networks. Krauthammer is about as good as they come.
Sadly, the same with Breitbart and Blaze. My laptop is fairly new, and those places just about lock me down.
Be glad that Free Republic doesn’t do ads. When the ads become more important than people reading their articles, then you’ve got to wonder what they really believe down deep.

Is Firefox the company that fired their CEO for his personal beliefs on marriage?
Was Chrome a part of that?
The liberal bastards worked hard enough to get Fox News taken off Dish Network and now the want them eliminated from reporting the news all together. They need to look at CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and the rest before they go after FOX. Whiney bastards!
And a few years ago one md told me that otc remedies for toenail fungus don't work. So I ordered the liver-destroying drugs through the hospital pharmacy that did nothing to the fungus. Then a year or so later I read about Dr. Scholl's otc fungus medicine on the internet. It cleared the fungus up pronto. MDs don't know everything.
Fox and Dish are in a contract dispute the same as Dish and CNN was a few months ago.
Anytime someone calls chiropractic quackery I disregard anything else they say, I have not had the need to see one in many years but at one time chiropractic was the only thing keeping me able to function. Modern medicine is amazing for trauma care but allopathic medicine is practically useless and often produces NEGATIVE results in treating chronic conditions. I have solved far more or my own problems with over the counter remedies or simple diet and exercise modification than were ever solved by prescription medicine. In fact the only prescriptions that I can think of that ever helped me were antibiotics and I have not needed them recently. There seems to be a real con job of enormous proportions going on to try to get every single American to use at least one and preferably more chronic medicines for things like blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol and many people are actually being made sicker or even killed by prescriptions.
Correcting my bad posture was the source of many problems I had with weakness in my limbs. Again, visiting the MDs did nothing to help my problems. Not one of three or four MDs I saw at two different hospitals mentioned anything about my posture causing my problems. They basically did the minimal examinations possible (stuck a lot of needles in me) and said I had no problems... and get out in so many words. The chiropractor noticed my bad posture almost immediately and strongly urged me to correct it.
My conclusion....if you've got a serious heart condition, cancer, or some other serious medical problem, medical doctors are for those things. If you've got some sort of chronic condition/disorder, you might be better off seeing an alternative medicine practitioner. The latter have helped me enormously.
Have the Dims that think Fox is stupid seen the people on the Water’s World segments on BOR?
Might help them if they listened to Fox now and then (of course, some of them may be beyond help).
They do have beautiful legs.
BORing and his lapdog Watters should both be retired.
The other shows devote way too much time speculating on weather or not Christie, Romney, et. al are running for president they have become totally redundant and useless.
That stupid "Breaking News" alert they do at the return of EVERY commercial break is stupid.... and useless.
