I turned off the TV. I am about done with cable news on ANY channel, unless there is an emergency. 90% of it is tabloid and opinion, and I am sick to death of them.

In fact, I am selling my Fox stock tomorrow, while they still are at a good value.

I am going to find the parent company of HGTV and invest in that. I know for darn sure I am going to be watching a lot more of that channel!

I did that about two weeks ago. Fox has been such a disappointment lately, why bother watching.

I too turned it off... Fox was the one place in 2000 that I could rely on for fairness and honesty.. Not anymore...

I don't own Fox stk, but heck, maybe I should think of shorting it ???

Right about now, any channel with the old test pattern is more reliable than any broadcast or cable news !!

I'm confused. I turned on Britt's round table. They are all talking as though it's a Kerry landslide. I'm freaked out.

I have basically stopped watching any Fox except for Cavuto. This started for me when their Saturday business/Wall street shows turned into the typical Fox fair and balanced screaming match.
