I watched enough to get the gist of it....then I quit - but people all over the nation are "rising" and turning on their sets....I would expect Fox knows that....I still choose FOX over the other idiot networks, when I watch TV.

"I watched enough to get the gist of it....then I quit -"

I comment because of a situation a few months ago when a young man in a stolen (I think) car case was running from CHIPS and California authorities up I5 north of LA. Shep Smith and helocopter video crews played the story for HOURS.

He was finally stopped and after a short time gave up to the 50 or so surrounding officers.

No terrorist stuff, not even a hint of it but FOX played it up with wild speculation and just plain mis-stated information.

For example, Shep said he would soon run out of fuel since he had travelled a long way on one tank of gas (about 70 miles to the grapevine). The car was a Japanese import and probably had a range of 250 miles or so! But how was Shep to know the status of his gas supply? He didn't.

He also mis-located the incident and was saying the perp was near some city which, in reality, was over 50 miles away.

In other words, my complaint is that I watch news for FACTS. Not wild hysterical speculation and unsupported 'facts'.
