Do you think if I read the posts I did't see the signup date? New does not equal troll. Why can't someone put up a valid argument hne they are a newbie, or be feisty. Read the style of the posts & you will see a freeper past, not a troll.
I watch mostly Fox for cable news because they are more interesting & they are pro-American. I do watch a little of MSNBC but CNN just bores me. Nancy Grace, on headline CNN, is interesting but like O'Reilly, she does annoy me at times.
Of course, the best of Fox News is Brit Hume. Unfortunately, he is on rather early for those folks who have to work. If he was on at 7PM, he would soon outdraw the big three.
Almost every evening, Brit exposes some hypocrisy of MSM or the RATs. Hell, he could probably do an hour on examples. Is that bias, or is that just getting the truth out?
I suspect that tonight Brit will mention how CBS Evening News and Gloria Borger totally distorted Ken Starr's comment to make it look as if he was opposed to ending the judicial filibusters. It was an incredible forgery, just as bad as Rathergate.
Oh man, you are gonna fry.
Hopefully, it will be the big news of the week. Those people need to be exposed for what they are. There are people (a small handful) in this country that still watch the little 3 network news stations, and those people are being grossly misled.
Yeah, I agree it's a fireball chucker, but why does everybody here always slam the bejeezus out of new people with an opinion. This is a conservative news discussion forum, not the GOP sheep farm. We have some seriously hardcore conservatives, and some middle of the road folks too.
When people jump on newbies so bad, it makes FR a nastier and more bitter place. A few years back, this was not nearly so mean. Sure, trolls got the zot, but not every single new person. People nowadays need to lighten up unless they are relatively confident the poster is a troll.
The comment about Extremely Extreme Extremist isn't out of line, because EEE hasn't bothered to fill out his/her/it's about page, and there are more women than men, so the likely assumption is he/she/it is female.
Thanks for the ping!
I finally got to watch FNC in what is argueably the most socialist juridiction in all of North America (exluding Cuba)-Quebec Canada and I can tell you that FNC is refreshing compared to the Democratic Party Channel-CNN. My wife who is not a republican or tilts condervative likes the style and pace of their programming. O'Reilly is too much for her but likes Brit Hume and Shepard Smith. I like Anderson Cooper but I will not sit through a CNN hour on general principle. The timing for the availability of FNC in Canada could not be better. The country is immersed in a Liberal political scandal that may (I hope) push the country to the right for the next 10 years. God knows Canadians need it. Having FNC talking about this issue in a non-Liberal point of view is remarkable! You cannot get an objective criticism of the scandal up here since the Liberals have bought off the entire MSM (including that pathetic excuse for tax payer funded CBC!) I felt like I was living in the USSR until FNC came along!
Fox is about 40% conservative. I have stated for decades that a TRUE conservative network would clean up.

How to Make a Guerrilla Documentary
(Liberal Campaign to smear FOX News)''Outfoxed'' has been made in secret. The film is an obsessively researched expose of the ways in which Fox News, as Greenwald sees it, distorts its coverage to serve the conservative political agenda of its owner, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. It features interviews with former Fox employees, leaked policy memos written by Fox executives and extensive footage from Fox News, which Greenwald is using without the network's permission. The result is an unwavering argument against Fox News that combines the leftist partisan vigor of a Michael Moore film with the sober tone and delivery of a PBS special. A large portion of the film's $300,000 budget came in the form of contributions in the range of $80,000 from both MoveOn and the Center for American Progress, the liberal policy organization founded by John Podesta, the former chief of staff for Bill Clinton; Greenwald, who is not looking to earn any money from the project, provided the rest.
Wow, does this mean Neil Cavuto 24/7?
I think you mean ROGER Ailes
Agree.
Fox is my news channel of choice for the obvious reasons. But there's room for improvement:
Day long repetition of the same news items.
Blasting that frigging 'Fox News Alert" tone every other minute....jeeez!
Although talking heads are reading off a teleprompter, I'm getting increasingly irritated with the recent habit of using a National Enquirer mentality with breathless lead- ins to upcoming segments..."Wait to you hear about the shocking blah blah blah", "You won't believe blah blah blah," and "See the shocking video blah blah."
Thanks for that. Like I said I'm still relatively new and wasn't aware of how FR was a few years back. I totally agree with you on the tendency here to jump down new peoples throats. I truly believe that there are people posting here is that their sole reason for posting here is the ZOT. Like I said, I still step lightly for that very reason. The only reason I used the "troll" moniker is that he/she seemed a little boisterous. One more thing, I apologize for taking so long to reply as I left for work at five (EST.)
