      Why is this even on here? What is hateful, racist, deceitful about this clip?

      In other words, Becky applauds softball irrelevant "journalism".

        So the only two types of journalism are "softball irrelevant 'journalism'" and "gotcha journalism"? Are they mutually exclusive?

                Sorry. He said Fox news is fake news. What's fake about it? I can say MSNBC is fake news for the same reasons people say Fox is fake news.

                  What's fake about it? How about the total absence of objectivity on the Faux News Channel? How about absence of any recognizable journalistic standards? How about the constant use of right wing talking points and other propaganda techniques in its so-called 'straight news' segments? How about the ubiquitous use of memos from Faux News Channel's executives to its presumed news people instructing them in what words and phrasing to use in their 'news' stories? How about their repeated and incessant usage of false and debunked claims, designed to boost the interests of the Republican Party, and to the detriment of the Democratic Party? How about its constant stacking of its panels with right wing hacks? How about its nearly exclusive hiring of political extremists, racists, and confirmed liars as its front men and analysts?

                  You know, nearly anybody here could go on and on about this cheap, right wing-shilling, propaganda organization that only barely manages to disguise itself as some bizarre semblance of a 'news' operation, but all you have to do is FREAKIN' READ THE ARTICLES THAT SURROUND YOU HERE!!! You're virtually standing with your foot atop a severed head, and asking what evidence is there that this person dead.

                    Forgive me for saying but I don't exactly take to heart the articles on this site. I watch FNC and they seem fine to me. Have you seen their morning shows? They're actually pretty good. What's wrong with their anchors? Have you seen Hannity? He has liberals all the time on his Great American Panel. O'Reilly has people whom he disagrees with all the time.

                    I'm not saying FNC doesn't have a bias, but if they have a bias towards the right, MSNBC has the same bias towards the left. That's OK with me.

                      That tells us everything we need to know.

      It's funny I was just reading several people on FOXNATION talking about a rumor that Stossel was hired in part to take over if it became necessary to replace Beck......
      I dont know if its that true but in would be hilarious if it wound up as true giving the applauds given to Stossel here

      I think the time has come for all self respecting blogs and newspapers to stop commenting on Fox commentators. Everyone with a thinking brain knows Fox is awful and does not watch - so why this titillation? Obsession!
      Leave the fox alone to stew in its own rotten juice and get on to the important things in life.
