People complain because the networks get angry and spoon feed the net with hate because FNC is killing them in ratings, esp primetime.

I'm sorry, I actually do watch Fox News pretty often when I go to the gym (because in Texas that is the news of choice of course), and it is blatantly conservative. And it doesn't even try to be subtle about it. MSNBC has more or less copied their model but on the liberal end, but at least they don't take themselves as seriously as the people on Fox News do so it is more entertaining. CNN is pretty neutral. BBC is pretty neutral. NPR is pretty neutral.
And I love Sqrl's argument, "All news = biased, thus Fox News =/ more biased."
You see the difference between the people who watch something like Fox News and something like the Colbert Report is that the people who watch the Colbert Report know it is supposed to be exaggerated and not a two-sided portrayal of things. People who watch Fox News all the time think that they are getting "Fair and Balanced" reporting, which just isn't true.
Bill O' Reilly is actually more chill than he used to be, although he is still just as conservative. He pushes it in a more subtle way, so it isn't quite as annoying and at least appears to be unbiased.
Hannity is a shameless parody of himself. That guy is the biggest hack on the planet. I have never heard one neutral thing from that guy's mouth. And its shameful when he invites any liberal commentators on the show. Frankly, its insulting to ever treat any guests the way he does on almost a daily basis.
Glenn Beck should be put in a mental institution. That guy is genuinely insane. He actually claimed that the Obama administration was going to put people in concentration camps.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I'm sorry, but if you think Fox News is a neutral news source after this, you need to have your head examined. This is nothing short of anti-free press propaganda.
