Oh that's just asinine.
FOXNEWS is a hundred different things, and not all of them are drivel...Schlepper Smith, Whoraldo, BO and several others notwithstanding. They just plain suck.
The LSM usually presents commentary and polling disguised as news, and practices coordinated and widespread "bias by omission" so often FOX is the only entity presenting a given story.
No other network major news source offers a platform for conservative viewpoints, unless it is an accident.
By the way, I don't have FNC in my cheap channel line-up, but I can watch selectively online.
On another front the way I read this is that Rasmussen polls 5.1% more dems than pubbies and comes up with the race a dead heat.

Does anyone here think that 5.1% more dems will make it to the polls that us?
Aaaand
Here we go Lari.
Zzzzzzzz...
I do wish the Republican party establishment would fight the Left/Media more and speak from a more conservative heart. This means not platitudes when convenient, but that they really mean it and believe it. I think they'd get more, not less votes.
Same with Fox News.
They do tell stories that the others won't, and they are night and day different from the Drivebys. But remember Fox News's motto is “We report, you decide”. That means they're in the MIDDLE, where all the rest PRETEND to be.
I want a network that is as biased as the Driveby’s, but biased in the conservative direction. And especially one that does so unabashedly, with vigor, doggedness, and a will to fight.
That is NOT Fox News, however. We have 4-5 major networks, a bunch of newspapers, and a bunch of magazines that are constantly disparaging, fighting and insulting US. Is it too much to want our own champion?
