Fox News saying that it's that bad of a game makes me want to buy it.  Yes, I dislike Fox News this much, but only because Stephen Colbert is 1000% better at doing what they do.  Considering all the the money backing that network you would think that they'd be much better at the right-wing phoney news comedy thing.  They really do need to hire better writers.


you should tell that to Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, bob beckel, Dr. Lamont hill, christin powers among others who either host/ed or appear regularly

I will add a thougth to your list of people.  They are paid to say those things, as to show(try anyway) another point of view for discussion/sensationalism.  Usually the people on your list make short comments and the rest of the people spend the next ten minuts belittling everything that they say.  When the producer of the show directs whats going on, the actual message that he intends usually wins the argument.  This is done on all news shows, but FOX seems to have given up on any sense of neutrality or objectivety.

if thats the case, i would hate to see what you think the other "news" stations have done.

also everyone is paid that appear on news channels, so who cares if fox pays people to have different points of views. (isnt that a good thing) and usually (like on hannity's show) he has 2 or 3 liberals and 1 conservative to debate issues. and for the most part everyone speaks about the same time. and like ive mentioned before Juan williams sometimes hosts the Oriely factor

The point that most everyone is trying to make is that the PERCEPTION of FOX news is that it is one sided.  IN society, perception is reality.  What do i mean?  Well, for example, if your boss at work perceives you to be a highly productive smart individual that exceeds all others around in skills and ability, he will help to promote you.  Now, If in fact you are no more productive than the average employee and maybe less skilled than many others, that is irrelevant.  Perception is reality(unless the person is crazy, that's a different topic).  So, you get the promotion over maybe 5-6 more qualified individuals.  Now, FOX has this perception by the general public, that they pretty much embrace(as others have posted) to get a market niche.  The fact that you are arguing that they don't have that perception indicates that you should probably seek a different website than VGChartz for opiniions on political leanings of the media.  Most of the comments people have made are reflectivie of the general perception of FOX(which is probably the reality for most people).
